Web WonderAll things web related plus a few surprises

The Fast Lane Moved My Work To The Internet

Surfing the internet is my favourite pastime. But each time I see a dotcom doing well or people claiming that they make money online it causes me to wonder, how? My junk mail received from other bloggers, who offered every opportunity you can imagine, one such being writing on my own web page.

How could I work my life around so that I don’t have to run the rat race every day? I held a job then, tolerating the office politics of course being smart I was at the top of the game. Even though I have good sense, I was having a problem with myself.

This apprehension came from not understanding the how people support their families online. I received a mail showing me that this person earned more than my year’s salary though a home income. Her advice was that anyone could make money blogging about adwords and insurance.

I tentatively started with setting up my blog and set up the machinery to earn a residual income. It took a lot of fortitude, patience and exploring to begin making the first trickles of dollars using the computer. As I began to apply my research skills into studying other people’s home income opportunity, I realized that they were making money indeed.

I even called a few and interviews them, asking for guidance and they were very kind to me, one of them suggested I subscribe to newsletters to get the workings. As I am a family man I was conscious of what I am doing. The light came to me on the second weekend of my learning in the form of a free link teaching how earn a living online.

The link carried a link, which took me to a page with all the information, which offered jobs to freelancing programmers and writers. I thought I had discovered the portal to El Dorado and signed on to search for my first job. However, there were many more ways to bring in money from the Internet.

Then I discovered affiliate-marketing programs on many sites; you could earn a cool $10, 000 plus month like this. You are given an affiliate link, which you post on your website, post on social media, use podcasts, and other methods to reach out to the world the internet. Every time a person joins via your affiliate link or buys the product, you get your commission.

The Internet and the Mass Media by Keung, Lucy; Picard, Robert G.; Towse, Ruth Edition ILL, 0 $57 This book offers a comprehensive analysis of the impact of the Internet on media and mediated content industries. It explores and discusses the changes this emergent communications platform is engendering for the media and content industries and the implications of those changes. Its contents are drawn from the findings of a five-year EU sponsored research initiative, the ‘Cost A20 Programme on the Impact of the Internet on the Mass Media’. Its authors include Europe’s leading scholars in the field. The book’s standpoint is simultaneously multi-lens, interdisciplinary, and cross-national. By approaching a common topic and single industry from a number of different theoretical and geographical standpoints it provides rich and comprehensive insights and thus equips scholars, policymakers, media practitioners, and social observers with a strong explanatory and interpretive overview of how the Internet has affected the media. The chapters look at the impact of the Internet on technology, platforms and innovation, content, users, and media organisations’ strategies, structures and business models.

An Annotated and Comprehensive Guide to Arthur Miller’s Life and Literature $147.26 Arguably one of the most important of America’s playwrights, Arthur Miller’s life has been an outpouring of writing—fifteen original full-length plays, two stage adaptations, a musical, seven one-act plays, a volume of short stories, a novel, three novellas, four screen plays, over one hundred essays, an autobiography, and a wealth of letters, interviews and collaborations. Unfortunately, the most recent bibliographic work dedicated to Miller was published in 1979, two decades ago. Stefani Koorey’s “Arthur Miller’s Life and Literature” remedies this deficiency, with a practical book created for the modern researcher. Not only is this the first work to include CD-ROMs, Internet sites, and other media-related materials, it indexes literary criticism and reviews for all of Miller’s dramatic works and presents a detailed catalogue of Miller manuscripts and typescript archive collections nationwide. Additionally, the book includes citations for topics related to the dramatist’s personal life. Finally, the text contains a chronological listing of 111 unpublished doctoral dissertations on Miller. The most up-to-date and comprehensive collection of “Millerania” yet, “Arthur Miller’s Life and Literature” will open up new avenues for the serious researcher as well as for students beginning to explore the dramatist’s body of works.Author Biography: Stefani Koorey holds a Ph.D in theatre history and dramatic criticism, as well as an M.A. in theatre arts and an M.F.A in theatre management—all from Penn State University. She has enjoyed a varied professional life as a dramaturg, storyteller, writer, editor, professor, box office manager, and librarian. She recently revised andedited a new edition of “Story Programs: A Sourcebook of Materials” (Scarecrow Press 2000) and is teaching theatre, film, acting, and humanities while she revises her dissertation for publication.

Hollywood’s Road To Riches $32.37 Out-of-control costs. Box office bombs that should have been foreseen. A mania for sequels at the expense of innovation. Blockbusters of ever-diminishing merit. What other industry could continue like this–and succeed as spectacularly as Hollywood has? The American movie industry’s extraordinary success at home and abroad is David Waterman’s focus in this book, the first full-length economic study of the movie industry in over forty years. Combining historical and economic analysis, Hollywood’s Road to Riches shows how the Hollywood studios, facing their darkest days in the early 1970s, have magnified their revenues from theatrical films many times over, and have come to command over 80 percent of the world’s film business. At the same time, the book asks how the economic forces leading to this success–the forces of audience demand, technology, and high risk–have combined to change the kinds of movies Hollywood produces. Waterman argues that the movie studios have multiplied their revenues by effectively using the variety of pay television and home video media–along with theaters and even broadcast TV–to extract the maximum amounts that individual consumers are willing to pay to watch the same movies in different venues. Along the way, the Hollywood studios have masterfully handled piracy and other economic challenges to the multi-media system they use to distribute movies. By contrast, Hollywood’s competitors in foreign nations have been less successful in using new media, providing an economic foundation for Hollywood’s massively financed blockbusters to wash like great waves over international borders. To support his analysis, Waterman presents an extensive compilation oforiginal statistical data extending back to the 1950s. The author looks ahead–to what digital production and distribution technologies and Internet file sharing might mean for Hollywood’s prosperity–as well as for the quality and variety of the movies it makes.
