Online Shopping Saves You Time and MoneyWritten by Jeanne Goodale
Shopping seems to have existed for as long as people have had a need for things they could not make themselves. Even before cash was common, people would barter and trade for things they needed and this was essentially shopping. Shopping had evolved quite a bit over years.Online shopping can be a great way to make passive income if you are a stay at home mom or semi retired. If you spend any time at all online, you've probably observed plenty of ads enticing you to earn six figures from comfort of your house. All of these advertisements focus on one key subject - growth of online shopping. Most of these advertisements are focused on multi-level marketing (M.L.M.) or affiliate systems. Since M.L.M. requires each person involved to get other people involved underneath her or him, it becomes a large number of online ads. M.L.M is unfortunatesly not that reputable but you don't have to involve yourself in area of M.L.M. to take advantage of trend in online shopping. For example, you may choose to sell products online of your own making. You could set up your own website and shopping cart and then sell products your own or make or even sell products you have pbought at a reduced price. Many people earn their living like this. Things people require to make money online are websites, shopping cart systems, and products. If you are a consultant or a coach, your product can even be your own existing knowledge! Consider selling tele-classes, coaching sessions or e-Books online. However, digital product delivery can be sometimes difficult, so make sure your shopping cart provider is a reliable one.

I recently read an article that had some interesting but not surprising statistics. Harte-Hanks published a survey in December, 2001 which reported that 96% of businesspeople interviewed were frustrated by their companies' information management. It's no wonder. An IDC white paper published in August, 2001 told us employees can spend up to two and half hours a day looking for information. It's about retrieval The truth of matter is that information in large organizations is stored in huge electronic databases and archival files. However, a great deal of it is also found in individual employee's workspace…on their desktop, in their file cabinets and in their heads. Coopers and Lybrand estimates U.S. Executives spend one hour a day just looking for misplaced files. But as I tell my clients, it's all about finding files, not just storing them. Can information you are looking for be retrieved quickly? If needed, can it be found when employee is absent from work? What if employee leaves company...does ability to find information leave also? Systems to rescue Taking time to create a workable filing system works to advantage of an organization. They become strategically prepared for future and can maintain a competitive edge. However, development, management and maintenance of a filing system at individual desktop level seems to be a hurdle for most. The truth is that it doesn't have to be difficult…it just takes focus and time. A well thought-out filing system simply provides a user-friendly structure or path. Better yet, same key elements for developing a paper files can be used for digital files as well. The rewards include increased personal performance, productivity and reduced stress levels. If employees took time to begin developing a customized, workable system, their retrieval problems would be greatly diminished. And so would that of organization.
