Would you like to learn how to set up a fully portable office? No matter where you live or if you are moving, your contact information will move with you. Whether you are on business in France, vacationing in Greece, sizing up property in Brazil, or living in Timbuktu, your contact information will stay same. No matter how often you move around, you can now be instantly accessible to friends, family, and even your bank manager! Your portable office system means your postal address, email addresses, telephone and fax numbers need never change again regardless of your physical whereabouts. Technology has made your portable office possible. You can set one up too! It’s simple and for less than $50 per month! Let me tell you how!

Step 1: Your FREE Email Account:

Set up unlimited personal email accounts without spending a cent. You don’t need to have your own computer or to pay monthly rental fees. You can set up free email accounts online. Connect to Internet at a Cybercafe or use a friend’s or employer’s machine. Visit any of following sites and follow simple instructions to set up free, personal, fully portable email addresses:

www.mailstart.com www.hotmail.com www.mailcity.com www.mailandnews.com www.yahoo.com

Once your email address is operational, you can hand out address to your contacts. Using a computer with Internet connectivity, you can access messages sent to your address wherever you are in world. Even if you don’t own a portable laptop computer, shouldn’t prove too difficult to find a public-access machine in most places. Try cybercafes, libraries, hotels, bookshops, and office-service providers. It takes less than five minutes phone time to access Internet, download your new messages, and print them. And you can also use your free email address to send messages.

Step 2: Your Global Telephone and Fax:

Next you need phone and fax numbers that stay same and that enable you to receive phone and fax messages—instantly—wherever you are in world. At one time, this would have been impossible. Not anymore.

Value your privacy? Get over it. The bad news is that thanks to Web, privacy no longer exists. Get Googled, and within a few short seconds anyone who knows your name will be able to learn quite a bit about you.

Try it. Go to Google ( http://www.google.com ), and type in your name. I just did a search query for "Angela Booth" and Google returned a search of over 95, 000 pages. If you have a Web site, post a message on Usenet, sell on eBay, or do much of anything other than breathe, you're caught, like a butterfly in amber, in sticky World Wide Web courtesy of Google.

Bad as this may be for privacy, this is good news if you're trying to build a business. It means that if you focus some of your marketing and promotion time on getting your name out on Web, you're building your credibility.

Suddenly all those direct-mail letters that you've been sending out carry a bit more weight. You're more than a slip of paper, a stamp and an envelope. You're a Google-presence.

So how do you build credibility out of being Googled?

The fastest way is to write a couple of information-rich articles, and post them on your Web site. Sure, this is a little bit of work, but not much. You can write, can't you? Within a month or so, your name will appear on Google.com. Over time, your name will also pop up on Web's other search engines.
