Many people purchase these great "Information Packets" on
Internet that list jobs and tell them how to find a telecommuting job. But, as you've probably already noticed, most of
information in these packets is free elsewhere on
Web! It's time to learn how to take
Internet by
horns and find
jobs that can make you a successful telecommuter. You can do it all without spending a dime!--- Information Brokering ---
One of
big things on
Internet is "Information Brokering." This involves
packaging and repackaging of information, then selling that information on
Web to thousands of people.
The early Information Brokers scattered their wares all over
Internet and now
same set of "reports" exist in a thousand different places. Many information brokers today use
free reports that are floating around on
Web and repackage that information for sale as "information packets."
For example, there is an old report called "The 1995-2005 Job Outlook in Brief" that was distributed back in 1995. I purchased
original set of reports on CD to see what it was all about---the idea was that you could resell these reports and make money. But, how many others were reselling or giving away
same report? Today, you can find
same report on numerous Web sites for free!
--- But, how can I find a job without a guide? ---
The "hidden jobs" are not listed in these information packets so don't feel that you're missing out. There are very few exclusive lists out there as most employers would rather go out and locate their employees themselves than to risk being inundated by millions of non-qualifying resumes.
