My business, Connected World Media is starting to take off and as it does I find myself meeting with more people. Since I work out of the house and I am currently working with other small businesses, my office has become various coffee shops around town.

I see plenty of other people working on laptops and I have to assume they are also home-based business folks or sales people who spend most of their time on the road. There is a good business here catering to we mobile workers.

If you want my business, here are my requirements:

Free Wi-fi Internet: This is the basis for any business and without it you can’t do much. Starbucks foolishly charges for wi-fi and therefore does not get my business. There are too many places that offer it for free.

Good coffee: It’s a staple of late night bloggers and Internet marketing professionals everywhere. And after all, it’s a coffee shop, you should at least have good coffee.

Variety of Food: Often these meetings are around breakfast or lunch so having some kind of food available is nice.

Comfortable Atmosphere: Plenty of comfy chairs or couches and not too loud please. Most are not prepared for it, but lots of power plugs are greatly appreciated as well.

The mobile worker is a serious market. Coffee shops and small restaurants should pay attention. Help us do business and we will bring business to you.
