Would you rather buy something from a stranger or a friend?

Today I would like to talk about your internet reputation.  With all the scams on the internet and with so many products and services for sale, how do you know what can be trusted?  And a better question is why would someone buy from you? 

I stopped trying to sell "things" and put my efforts into building relationships.  There is no price tag for a good reputation or trust.  Don't scam people.  You might make a few dollars but you will have lost a much more valuable thing.
