Harder to make money online than brick and mortar?

[luke]

This is a question I have to any successful entrepreneurs out there...

Is it harder to start an online business than a brick and mortar business? The reason I'm asking, is that I know in theory an online business scales better (because it is inherently a business system), but it seems much harder to market and know/understand your customer because if they don't like what they see they just click away.

It is my perception that a brick and mortar business can make money quicker (people drive by) and you can get to know your target customer quicker.

Just a question/concern i've had for some time. I'm on web business #3, and it seems like an uphill battle, while friends with physical businesses are doing 6 figures already.
