SurveyMonkey Powered Online Survey

12% of survey complete.

Thank you for agreeing to help us!

The survey is meant to gather REAL DATA about businesses that are diversifying their income so that some is made locally/in-person, and some is made remotely/online. Most of the information is anecdotal, so we are trying to validate what is being said.

This data will help people who want to make this sort of transition understand what is REALLY involved. There's no offer here, and nothing for sale – we just want to gather the data and make it available to the community.

What's the definition of a Semi-Local Business?

Local businesses who pursue customers outside their local area, typically leveraging the Internet and other new marketing technologies.

You can also consider a semi-local business as one that is geographically independent. Meaning, you could serve a client that is outside of your local area. Many consultants, freelancers and bloggers belong in this category.

Local client (definition): A client within your geographical area (e.g. your city or region.)

Remote client (definition): A client outside of your local area.
