Has the internet changed your life?
The internet was an amazing technological breakthrough. We have had the internet for so long now that it makes a person wonder how they functioned without it.The internet has changed our lives in so many ways. We spend less money using the internet. We spend less money on postage, envelope, and paper when writing a friend or family member a letter. We can type a letter and hit the send button and they have it in a matter of minutes rather than days or weeks. Plus you don’t have to take the time to drive to the Post Office, stand in line, and spend money on stamps.

Jeff Grant, Trio President, wrote this article for his website, but authorized us to include it also in NewOnlineShopping.NET. You’ll find it very interesting.
We Set Up a Website and Sales Increased 1,000%
In 2001, my firm, TRIO Display, was essentially a retail design group that produced stores for professional sports teams, museums, and a myriad of individual specialty retailers. Staff was steady at four to five designers and artists and we pulled in subcontractors as needed. Display sales and design fees ranged from $500,000 to $650,000 per year, which was enough for all of us to live comfortably.

This is a nice personal story written by Elizabeth Burn, a kind entrepreneur in the vintage clothing industry.
Love for Vintage
My love for vintage began when I was a poor college student in NYC, basically out of necessity, it evolved from a hobby and passion into a business. At first my family was a little annoyed at the ‘clutter’ but after some years and much patience they are coming around, beginning to appreciate the history of a garment that has been around for many decades sometimes centuries. How important it is to care for, restore them, the quality of garments from the past and how we are keeping them from the landfills or from being exported to other countries.

This is a short but very interesting interview to Derek Sivers, CDBaby.com president. CD Baby is a little online record store that sells albums by independent musicians. They only sell music that comes directly from the musicians. No distributors. Musicians send them their music. They digitize and warehouse, sell them to the customers, and pay the musicians directly.
Derek, considering your big expertise with Cdbaby.com, what do you think about online shopping? Pros and Cons?
Selection is the best. You know “it” (the web) has everything, and at the best price.
