I just came back from China, where a cup of green tea *normally* costs about 25 cents. That’s the price at a typical street vendor.
But at the world-famous Forbidden City in Beijing, crawling with gringo tourists, a cup of green tea costs $4.00.
Why does it cost 16X as much in the Forbidden City as it costs 3 blocks away?
I’ll come right out and admit it – one of the reasons I “retreated” into the world of online marketing was, I was tired of being rejected by people.
For several years I was pounding pavement and knocking on doors and dialing for dollars. And for the most part this was NOT successful. I had nothing but moths in my wallet and I was seriously burning out. I was reaching a point where I just couldn’t take the constant diet of rejection anymore.
Thankfully I changed jobs (this was in the early Internet days, about 10 years ago) and the new company had a website. A website that was actually producing good sales leads every day.
