Domains For Sale For instance, would you believe that a man on the Internet in the Ukraine delivers the local weather forecast in Sydney to Chicago? So much for sticking your head out the window.
Domain Optimizing I have a client in the UK who sells machine parts through his online ball bearings site to every country in the world ... except the UK, of course. Doesn't that make the local hardware store redundant?.
Domain Resellers With so many clients crowding into my office, I could use some stress relief tips around now.
Namepros Office Politics in the Global Office
Domain Parking My clients live on almost every continent, and the only thing that occasionally gets in the way of seamless communication are time-zone differences. (If Columbus would have minded his own business, we wouldn't face even that challenge!)
Cheap Registras What's more, my clients are not always English-speaking, and neither are all of my clients' websites. Can you say netzwerküberwachung & netzwerk überwachung? I do search engine optimization in four languages - English, French, Spanish and German - which tells you something about the global office in which some of my clients sit.
Name Com But there is more than just language that makes the global office a tricky workplace to navigate. Aside from the lack of water coolers and washrooms, most of the world works in metric, but the biggest Internet market works in imperial. So some customers won't know what a mile is, and others won't know what a kilometer is.
Godaddy And everybody spells funny to someone else. Is it honor or honour? Center or centre? Folks or peeps?
Parked Com Fortunately for me, I live in Canada. 95% of Canadians live within a stone's throw of the US border. (They are all folks, by the way.) So we officially learn to spell and to count the way the British do (but they are still not peeps). Nevertheless, Americanisms sneak across the border by osmosis, perhaps due to an attack dog budget shortfall at the illegal aliens department.. At least I'll know what a mile is - it's that thing people want to take when I give them an inch.
Domain Porfolios And what about currency? I make it simple. I use US dollars, because that really is the currency of the Internet. But I also accept Paypal payments, so anybody can input their favorite currency and out pops US dollars on my end. I wish more people would do that. I could use more dollars.
Domains For Sale If none of that phases you, consider time zones. Just as a client in Australia is waking up, your client in the United States is going to bed. And how will they reach you when you are not in the office. Services like email to phone redirection can help. So can insomnia.
Domain Optimizing Nobody twenty years ago would have imagined that you and I could sit at home and type words into a TV screen to make a comfortable living. Welcome to my office - Planet Earth.
Domain Resellers Hmm. Right now I am reading The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...I wonder if I can work from home on the Internet on any other planets...
