Shopping At Home For The Home-based Entrprenuer

Filed under: Home Business Ideas — Eureka @ 6:26 am

For the Singaporean work at home, taking a break to shop online is now made easier. Singapore Post overseas shipping service called vPost allows you to shop from over 350,000 USA, UK and Japanese online stores and have your purchases deliver to your doorsteps.

Unlike some foreign based shipping services, vPost is created with security in mind. Typically foreign based shipping services charges a annual fee and also require a valid credit card on standby for deduction of shipping charges.

vPost is free and is secure in 3 ways:

1. You need to email your merchant order invoice to vPost in order
to activate the shipping process.

2. After that vPost will email you with a shipping cost invoice.

3 Then you have to login to your vPost account to pay for your
shipping charges.

These procedures take away incidents of fraudulent shipping of unwanted or unpurchased items and also possibility of credit card fraud.

It takes about 5-8 working days to receive your purchases after payment.

With vPost working at home need never be boring again, you do virtual window shopping and buy around the world with secure shipping to your doorstep.

Partnering Youtube To Make Money With Home Movies

Filed under: Home Business Ideas — Tags: — Eureka @ 6:20 pm

Most Singaporeans can relate to Jack Neo and his made-in-Singapore movies like Money No Enough, I Not Stupid etc. What most Singaporeans do not know however is that you don’t have to a Jack Neo to make movies that make money. You also dont need studio quality video cameras.

Youtube is a familiar website for many people. And many people upload movies made with their mobile phone, digital cameras and camcorders to Youtube. Most do it without any intention of making money from their movies.

However, amateur moviemakers would benefit from knowing that Youtube runs a potentially lucrative “partner” program for contributors who regularly attract large audiences with movies that are creative and totally original. The program splits the advertising revenue on a 55% to 45% basis in favor of the creator. Some people have made six-figure annual incomes from their Youtube videos. But the average serious home moviemaker can expect to make about USD200 a month. How does SGD300 a month sound, working from home, planning your movie, editing your movie with no boss to answer to? You can even shoot your movie at home if you want to.

With that said, a little skills in making home movies would help to ensure that your movie can be selected for the Youtube partnering program. Take some time to read up on techniques for producing good quality movies suitable for Youtube. You will need to master the art of story telling, directing, filming and post-production editing for your movie to reach a large audience and create a stir in the Youtube community.

Patience can pay off here, and the people who really make big money on Youtube make movies everyday or every three days. They just concentrate on making movies and uploading them to Youtube for people to see.

A good book to read about making Youtube movies is YouTube: An Insider’s Guide to Climbing the Charts by Alan Lastufka and Michael W. Dean

You can actually buy it online from Amazon. (It can actually cost less buying a book from Amazon than to pick it up in town from say Borders, even if they have to mail it to you from the USA)

 In reality, you don’t need to be Jack Neo and have big movie studio to make home movies that can generate income on a regular basis, you just need a camcorder, broadband Internet, a home computer, creativity and the determination for success.

Launching A Mini Newspaper At Home

Filed under: Home Business Ideas — Tags: — Eureka @ 9:35 pm

Twitter is a microblogging service that has seen exponential growth over the last 2 years.

Most people use Twitter to broadcast their daily activities, a term called “lifecasting”

A journalism professor has decided to turn Twitter into a mindcasting tool.

Here is an excerpt from the Los Angeles Time, March 11, 2009 on what he did.

“Mindcasting is where it’s at.

The distinction is courtesy of Jay Rosen (@jayrosen_nyu), a journalism professor and new media analyst at New York University.
For him, Twitter is a new way to conduct a real-time, multi-way dialogue with thousands of his colleagues and fellow netizens.

“Mindcasting came about when I was trying to achieve a very high signal-to noise-ratio,” he explained.
This meant using his Twitter account to send out tweets pointing to the best media news and analysis he could find,
15 or 20 times a day. “I could work on the concept of a Twitter feed as an editorial product of my own.”

As Rosen noted, that product is itself a distillation of the huge stream of input he gets from the nearly 550 journalists,
analysts and news outlets he follows on Twitter. “I’ve hand-built my own tipster network,” he said.
“It’s editing the Web for me in real time.”

Now zoom out and think of Rosen, his hundreds of sources and his 11,000 followers,
each as a kind of individual information amplifier, consuming and passing along the
most interesting stuff that comes their way.

So when the Gazette newspaper in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, announced it was re-engineering itself,
with the newspaper as just one container for its news, Rosen saw the news tweeted by Scott Karp,
a Web journalism entrepreneur he follows — and shared the story with his own audience.

It’s people-powered media in action.”

In fact you could be publishing your own mini newspaper from your kitchen table.
Reach out to thousands if not millions of readers at the speed of light.

And it cost you almost nothing, except for a broadband connection and a notebook computer.
In return you could reap handsome financial rewards for your time when you monetise your mini newspaper.
