How to use the internet to make money

Self publish books

If you love writing and want to get a book published, Amazon offers a free service called Kindle Direct Publishing. The service allows anyone to self publish books on the Kindle (electronic) bookstore and earn royalties from sales. There are two plans you can choose from — the 35% royalty works across any book sold in any country) while the 70% royalty plans works if you sell in a few select countries. Indian authors can choose to set prices specifically for the Indian bookstore and receive royalty payments in Indian currency as well.

Make & sell your apps

With so many smartphones and tablets, app development can be a very lucrative business. You can learn about developing apps online — there are various tutorials available for free. That's the easy part — the hard part is coming up with an idea that 'clicks'. Once you make an app, submit it to the respective app store, set a price and choose whether you want to earn from inapp advertising. Your earnings, after deducting the appropriate fees, will be paid monthly.

Sell your photos Online

Numerous stock websites like www.shutterstock. com, www.shutterpoint.com and www. istockphoto.com host photographs submitted by members. Depending on the site's policy, you can earn between a 15 to 85% royalty on each sale. The better the quality of photos and the larger your online portfolio, the more you will sell. Usually, each photograph you want to upload will have to be 'selected' by them first — and they usually have strict requirements of what can or cannot go on sale.

Sell old stuff online

An easy way to earn some money on the Internet is by selling old stuff that you have around the house. Websites like www.olx.in, www.quickr.com & http://craigslist.co.in provide a free classifieds platform. You need to create an account, enter the product details, location, the expected price along with some photographs — listing usually go live within a couple of hours. Interested buyers can directly contact you and finalise the sale.

Start an online shop

With some creativity, you can learn to make handicrafts or if you know a wholesale dealer, purchase unique things at low prices. Once you have some stock ready, you can set up an online shop to sell these goods on sites like www.ebay.in or www.indiebazaar.com.

Both sites have a simple signup process. After you get verified as a seller, they provide you with a step-by-step wizard to set your online store (how to add photos & details of items you want to sell).

Work online for money

The internet is full of bogus companies that promise to pay you for work but never will. For instance, all places that offer money to fill surveys or those that require payment up front are scammers. Two popular & reliable places to find work are www. odesk.com and www.elance.com.

Both have a similar system: set up a profile and take tests to prove your proficiency in certain areas. Once done, you'll be listed as a contractor/freelancer and people can hire you for an hourly rate. You can get paid more by working hard, getting better at what you do and getting good feedback (ratings) from your clients.

E-Tutoring

If you are fluent in any subject and have some tutoring experience, you can sign up on websites like www.2tion.net or www.tutorvista.com as an online tutor. The sites require you to create a tutor profile with details such as the subjects in which you are fluent, what classes/courses you want to teach, your experience level, preferred timings for tutions and the remuneration expected.

Earn from Advertising

A reliable way to earn money is from Google AdSense on your blog/website or ads on your YouTube channel. To get started, create a Google AdSense account at www. google.com/adsense. You can use the same account with your blog, website or YouTube channel. To maximise earnings from your blog or website, your objective needs to be to get the maximum number of visitors possible.

Write about what you know and what you're passionate about. On YouTube, make sure that your videos are original and interesting. Promote your channel to get more views. Apart from views, your objective should also be to get more people to like/favourite your video and to subscribe to your channel. The build up will be slow and Google only makes payments once your balance crosses $100, so don't get disheartened. Persistent efforts pay off in the long run.

History of the Integration of Mobile Phones

History of the Mobile Phone

lIn 1970 Amos Joel of Bell Labs invented "call handoff" that allowed a mobile phone user to travel through several cells during the same conversation

lMartin Cooper of Motorola is widely considered to be the inventor of the first practical mobile phone for handheld use in a non-vehicle setting

lUsing a modern, if somewhat heavy portable handset, Cooper made the first call on a handheld mobile phone on April 3, 1973

lFully automatic cellular networks were first introduced in the early to mid-1980s (the 1G generation)

lUntil the late 1980s, most mobile phones were too large to be carried in a jacket pocket, so they were usually permanently installed in vehicles as car phones

SMS (Short Message System)

lSMS was being considered as a feature for mobile phones as early as 1985

lThe first commercial text message wasn't sent until 1992 from a personal computer to a mobile phone

lThe first phone to phone SMS was claimed to have been sent by Riku Pihkonen, an engineering student at Nokia, in 1993.

lInitial growth was slow, with customers in 1995 sending on average only 0.4 messages per GSM customer per month

lA whole new alphabet emerged because SMS messages took a long time to enter and were quite abrupt as people attempted to say as much as possible with as few keystrokes. Abbreviations such as 'C U L8er' for 'See you later' sprung up for time saving and trendiness

Ringtones

lIt all more or less started with the famous 'Nokia Tune', which is a 13 note rendering of Francisco Tarrega's masterpiece, Gran Vals. Tarrega was a 19th-century Spanish musician.

lAround this time all ringtones were monoponic, meaning they could only play one note at a time.

lOne of the first commercial ringtone service available was the finnish operator, Radiolinja´s "jukebox" service in 1999.

lThe year 2002 is a major milestone in ringtone history. Nokia and other phone companies adopted the MIDI standard that enabled richer and more realistic polyphonic sounds, which is multiple notes being played at one time.

lModern mobile phones can play MP3 files and have higher quality ringtones than ever before.

Camera Phone

lA camera phone is a mobile phone which has a camera built-in and allows the user to share pictures and video with anyone instantly.

lThe first complete camera phone was built by Philippe Kahn in 1997. The first commercial camera phone complete with infrastructure was the J-SH04, made by Sharp Corporation with the Sha-Mail (Picture-Mail in Japanese) infrastructure and marketed by J-Phone in Japan.  In North America, the first camera phone was manufactured by Sanyo and launched by Sprint with the PictureMail infrastructure.

Camera phones have become widely used because they are cheap, convenient, and portable, and are now a staple of the majority of cell phones.

Bluetooth

l1998 The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) is formed and officially adopts the project name “Bluetooth” as the name of the technology

l1999 The Bluetooth 1.0 is released

l2000 The first Bluetooth consumer product hits the market - a Bluetooth headset and phone adapter from Ericsson

lBluetooth wireless technology is a short-range communications technology intended to replace the cables connecting portable and/or fixed devices

lBluetooth enables user to have an affordable and easy way to have a hands free experience when using mobile phones.

How to Multi-Home

What is Multi-Homing?
 Multi-homing is the process of selecting, provisioning, and installing a redundant connection to the Internet. Could be the same provider, or a different provider.

Why Multi-Home?
Slow is 1,000,000% better than dead. You may be out of bandwidth. And Telco circuits die. Routers die. Providers’ networks fail. Different networks have better performance to different sites.

A Multi-Homed Architecture
 Ideally, take advantage of the opportunity to multi-home to remove all single points of failure in your network. Use - Multiple providers, unless your current provider will let you have cheap backup Multiple routers Multiple telco vendors

Multi-Homed Architecture
Two routers, each with a different WAN connection from a different telco vendor. Use HSRP or VRRP internally to make both routers look like one “virtual” router. Eventually, multiple providers. Upcoming Boardwatch article with configs.

How the Internet Works
Well, it breaks more than it works but when it does work - The Internet is a network of networks. Each network (called Autonomous System) on the Internet announces “routes”, which are lists of the IP addresses of the boxes on their network. You need to be able to send packets *to*, and get packets *from*, everywhere.
