How the Internet changed my working life - Part 1

I am repeatedly fascinated by the volume of individuals who are now taking advantage of the web to earn an income. I have built a growing number of dissimlilar Internet companies which as a whole make me a substantially higher salary than it was possible to earn working in an office. The number of hours I work are roughly the same but I don’t have go to an office any longer, which is a big relief. I finally have control over my income and my quality of life.

Building a handful of firms is a great experience, but I have had to find better methods of being more effective and working smarter. To monitor my buyers and the financial performance of my companies, I use a small number of internet applications - you have got to have excellent small business management software to be effective and let you focus getting and watching over customers. I purchased a Quickbooks login and a NetSuite login. I can get to these services from on holiday or at home and they allow me to watch all of the customer and financial events as they happen.

Through my NetSuite login I am able to oversee all of the sales results on my internet stores and oversee the outcomes of the Google Adwords jobs that serve up visitors to my checkouts. I no longer use Microsoft Office which has been superceded by a Google Account containing all of the software I need to do the job, including electronic mail, word processing and spreadsheets. I can get at these applications from from my laptop.

I really have improved my knowledge, I have found a treasure trove of free and amazing value for money knowledge which I have quickly studied. One of the most important lessons I have taken onboard is how to recognize and sub contract repetitive operations, to individuals who can do this better and cheaper. I can directly identify the time at which I broke through my income ceiling to my discovery of the advantages of delegating some of the jobs taking up most of my time, to me increasing my cashflow to above that of my income whilst in permanent employment.

In Part 2, I get into detail about how I work.
