So you’re looking for an opportunity and you’d like to make it a Homebased business – one that you can work from home or be free to move about and not stuck in confines and with restrictions of an office five days a week. How about something so new it was “just invented” in 2000. So new that it wasn’t even available in Canada, US and Europe until 2002. So new that practical uses for it, including uses of a commercial nature, are just beginning to make themselves known. That’s only three years – or a little less. So what am I talking about? I’m talking about “picture taking cell-phone”. What? You can’t see any practical use for a “picture taking cell phone” except as an invasion of someone’s privacy, and you definitely don’t want it to be your privacy? Well, I can’t disagree with that, but consider these uses as a starting point: ·In Sweden recently a burglary attempt was photographed on store owners cell phone camera, circulated to police and criminal apprehended within a half hour. * ·In Wales doctors have been experimenting with a system to speed diagnosis of fractures by sending photos of X-rays to consultants to get a second opinion in minutes. * ·In US mobile-phone service providers are setting up electronic photo albums where customers can display pictures taken with phone-cams. * ·In January 2003, showstudio.com, a fashion-news web site, used phones to beam photos from Paris fashion shows, producing almost-live coverage of catwalks and scooping competition. * ·BBC News Online now accepts photographs of news events from readers. * ·Howard Rheingold, author of Smart Mobs: The Next Social Revolution, predicts phonecams and similar technology will change news landscape. *

Affiliate Marketing - Ten Excellent Reasons Why You Should Do ItThere are many opportunities to make money working on Internet. Becoming an affiliate marketer is a great way of having your own online business. Here are ten excellent reasons why you should choose affiliate marketing for your home based business. 1. Be Your Own Boss - What a magical ring that phrase has to it! This is my absolute favourite reason for being an affiliate marketer. Actually, it is my top reason for having any home based business. 2. Low cost set-up - Most affiliate programmes are free to join, so all you need to start your business is an Internet-connected computer and word-processing software. You can work from absolutely anywhere in world and it makes no difference whether you have a cosy office or work from a corner of your kitchen table. 3. No shipping costs - You don't need to worry about paying for postage or buying packing stuff such as boxes, wrapping paper, parcel tape, labels and so on. You never have to struggle with carrying heavy packages to post office. The cost and bother of packing and shipping products to customers belongs to merchant, not affiliate. 4. Choice of thousands of products and services - All you have to do is decide what you want to sell (and, of course, what you think people will want to buy), just about everything is available online. With affiliate directories like Clickbank it's easy to find products to sell. 5. No merchant account or invoicing software required - You can forget problems associated with invoicing, collecting payments and processing credit cards. The merchant handles all payment processing; as an affiliate, you never have to worry about chargebacks, fraud or losing your merchant account.
