Where do you stand on privacy?
edw519: I value my privacy so much that I have no account on any social network and never will.  A very few number of people have my cell phone #.  Anyone can send me an email anytime they want.You say, "I deliberately marketed myself aggressively online because I figured that that was the best way to win the game".What game?  I don't see the logic in that at all.People pay money to solve their own problems.  Provide them with a solution.  That's the only "game" I've ever been interested in "winning".  The rest is smoke and mirrors.If you have a popular blog or had written a book and positioned yourself as an expert, that would certainly help your marketing effort.  Of you could just as easily spend that time advertising, networking, and pounding the pavement the old fashioned way to generate business.  At least that way, you preserve your privacy.Losing your privacy is like scattering feathers in a storm.  Gone, never to be put back into the pillow case again.
