Today, Sonia talks d-commerce predictions and trends with Rainmaker Digital CEO (and Copyblogger founder) Brian Clark.
Digital commerce has gone from somewhat weird (and occasionally shady) beginnings to commercial juggernaut.

- The weird past and bright future of the purely digital business
- How small digital companies can compete with massive players like Amazon or Lynda.com
- Our new collection of resources for digital entrepreneurs
