There are obviously many, many different factors that affect individual business results...and all that are mentioned in this thread are major influences. But long term, everyone needs to be planning on real solutions to cover the slow times.
The big picture:
Technology is designed to increase communication between parties, increase efficiency, and increase access to various resources at all levels. This in turn supports heavier competition and lower margins, while at the same time increasing the options available to the consumer.
So, be default, those companies and individuals that are ahead of the curve will continue to pull in clients, followers, and copycats...and those that fall behind will notice exponentially increasing competition.
With limited resources, the best way to avoid falling behind the curve is to find your niche, master it, and then stay on top. No matter what you're doing, if you're the best value available, nature will take it's course, and traffic will come to you.
Hope this helps a little. There are still tons of money being made, you just have to work for it.
Have a great day,
Loster
