How to Earn Money
Despite all sort of claims made by various Governments including the Local Governments there appears to beminimum evidence to show any meaningful efforts to raise the income levels of people.There is universal problem of poverty, unemployment which results in below subsistence income levels.We are therefore witness to hunger deaths, malnutrition,lack of education, very poor living conditions and indeed a very low index of human quality of life on a very large scale.A lot of money is being spent through different channels on anti poverty and anti hunger programs but the net effect is not very impressive.The main reason of this failure is that it is not well understood that the key to remove poverty is to train people to earn money rather than continuously subsidizing or providing the employment which is not sustainable in the long run.
The real challenge before the governments as well as the individualsis to enable people to learn as to how to earn livelihood ina sustained manner.The population data base should be thoroughly scannedto determine their skill levels and then these skill sets can be categorized to further help them upgrade those skills and then market their skills and products.
One thing must be clear. The new technology has provided enormous market for all sorts of products. All the anti poverty programs must take full advantage of technology by upgrading the skills of people. The new technology is not only revolutionary in reach and nature but it is also highly user friendly. Thus all people can learn how to use the computer and internet technology within a comparatively very short time. This skill then can be used to market their products world wide.
Let us take the example of Paithani Sarees. These are specialsed apparel for which there is world wide demand and appreciation. Now if we look up the internet there are some web sites engaged in the e-commerce of Paithani Sarees. Byt these web sites are not owned or run by the manufacturers of Paithani Sarees; rather they have been set up by people trading in the material and these people are making good profits by the i-commerce in Paithani Sarees but the original manufacturers are getting no benefits as their wages remain low and they are unable to earn enough money to run their household in a proper manner. Now a successful intervention would have trained the original manufacturers to set up their own e-commerce web sites and enable the individual manufacturer or a group of manufacturers to sell their products directly to the customers and make four times more money. Same is true for a number of products which have a world wide market. This can provide a large number of people with higher income.
The market on the internet is really huge There are millions of people in the western countries who have a very good income level but they are lonely. They have no company and are feeling bored. Such people are logging onto channels like blip tv to find entertainment. Blip Tv is on the other hand is welcoming all videos and is ready to share their revenue with the video provider. If this simple information is made available along with some training to shoot reasonable quality videos and then how to upload them to channels like blip tv; this can result in higher incomes and more money for thousands of people as they have excellent entertainment skills and to watch this entertainment there are millions of wealthy people who are ready to spend money.
Such channels thus provide a TV Channel of your own, whether big or small depending on the capacity of the individual as well as the communities. Thus technology has enabled anyone to start an entertainment business on the TV. Similar vast markets for products in the field of education, daily consumer goods and a host of other areas exist and are waiting to be explored as the internet expands on an exponential scale.
