How to Create a Rapidly Growing Source of Income
Introduction
After the invention of the wheel and the harnessing of
nuclear power, the single most significant event that has affected our way of
life today is the Internet. Every single human has total access to it in the
free world. It is one vast storehouse and also the channel of data, so much
data that today’s terminology calls it the Internet Cloud, a deft simile,
permitting what is called cloud computing; in other words, massive amounts of
computing in zettabytes (ZB)(1021 bytes )and yottabytes (YB) (1024 bytes) across
banks of high speed high capacity servers. The Internet (net) allows any
individual who has a workable idea and the basic tools to work the net the
facility to monetize his concept, no longer confined to the bricks and mortar
markets of yore-the entire world is his market. If he is successful, then he
stands to earn a pocketful of gold. He can work from home, with no staff to
speak of, at times best suited to him and for as long as he desires.
Let’s first dispel a myth here. If you think you can get
rich overnight, you are living a chimera. It is simply not possible for, say
two and a half percent of over two billion users of the net (that’s fifty
million people) to all become rags to riches stories. There might be an odd
case or two, but those are exceptions. It takes a patient and persistent
shoulder to the grinding stone to earn the kind of money where you can live an
enriched and carefree life, Yes, it can certainly assist you in earning more,
thereby improving your standard of living-a better house, better cars, modern
gadgets, etc. Interestingly, the fact is that you are not making money off the
net. The net has become the de facto term, whereas you are actually using only
part of it.
The Internet: A Sum
of Many Parts
The Internet is commonly considered to be a worldwide
collection of computer networks, cooperating with each other to exchange data
using a common software standard. Through every type of connection, from
telephone wires and satellite links, net users can share information in a
variety of forms. The size, scope and design of the Internet allow users to:
Ø
connect easily through ordinary personal computers and local phone
numbers;
Ø
exchange electronic mail (E-mail) with friends and colleagues with
accounts on the Internet;
Ø
post information for others to access, and update it frequently;
Ø
access multimedia information that includes sound, graphic images and
video; and
Ø
access diverse perspectives from around the world.
An additional attribute of the Internet is that it lacks a
central authority—in other words, there is no "Internet, Inc." that
controls the Internet. Beyond the various governing boards that work to
establish policies and standards, the Internet is bound by few rules and
answers to no single organization. (www.centerspan.org).
Unlike many computer networks, the net consists of not one
but multiple data systems that were developed independently. These are:
o
USENET newsgroups, for posting and responding to
public "bulletin board" messages.
o
File Transfer Protocol , a system for uploading,
storing and retrieving data files on computer systems.
o
TELNET, a way of connecting directly to computer
systems on the Internet.
o
Internet Relay Chat (IRC), sending public and
private messages to other users in "real time"—that is, your message
appears on the recipient's screen as soon as you type it.
o
CU-SeeMe, one of a variety of videoconferencing
systems that allow users to send and receive sound and pictures simultaneously
over the net. All you need is a webcam and voice system, a standard fitment in
most computers today. Webinars (Web Seminars) are held in this mode.
o
The World Wide Web. This final component listed
is perhaps the most exciting element of the Internet today, the www.(ibid)
o
Of all the worthwhile features of the Internet,
none has captured the public's eye and contributed to the Net's growth so much
as the World Wide Web. A method of posting and accessing interactive multimedia
information, the "Web" is a true "information
superhighway," allowing users the world over to access a wealth of
information quickly and easily. The major innovation for the Web came in 1992,
when programmers from the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at
the University of Illinois developed the Mosaic browser, a software application
that displayed the text of a Web document (or page) and embedded graphic
elements. By bringing multimedia to the Web, Mosaic gave it enormous
potential.
Today, several Web browsers
are available: Opera, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari, to name a
few. All use Hypertext for inter-communication, ie, use Hyper Text Mark-up
Language (HTML) to link one webpage or site to another webpage or site.
Apart from hypertext and multimedia as two outstanding
features of the World Wide Web, the other distinct advantages are:
¤ Open standards that allow Web pages to
be viewed through most any computer with an Internet connection and a Web
browser.
¤ The ability to make software and data
files available for downloading.
¤ Ease of use; just point and click on
your browser to access the information you need.
For the individual or organization wishing to distribute
information, the Web makes "publishing" easy and cost-effective.
Putting information on the Web is quite inexpensive compared with traditional
publishing, yet puts that information before a potential audience of millions.
And unlike a printed publication, a Web document can be revised and updated at
any time (ibid).
As already stated, no one has ever logged onto the Internet
for the first time and started pocketing dollars in a really short period of
time. As with all things in life, there is a learning curve, according to Evans
Stone, the renowned Internet Marketer. In takes an average gestation period of
three years of work to build a home-based income. Once you break through, you
could earn over $100,000 in just twelve months off the net, and since money
begets money, you are now established on the path to riches.
