Money, money, money...

The Internet has changed our world irreversibly. There is no such field of life that would remain not influenced by this revelation. Politics, religion, education... And economy.

Nowadays, economy is based on exchanging information. Companies either have to adapt new rules or simply close down, especially when considering marketing or media. The Internet is a magical device that turns its user from consumer to participant. Of course it threatens some (i.e. how to know the value of an intelectual product, when it can get easily lost in trash?), but at the same time it gives an opportunity to people and organisations outstanding in their field.

There are ups and downs in every kind of work

In the era of YouTube, and blogs and free access to social media (some time ago I presented the most popular options) it shouldn't surprise anyone that to some the Internet is a source of income.
I don't mean here clicking on adverts (not really worth trying...). You can earn money by doing what you like to do. Theoretically, the easiest way is writng commissioned texts or publishing reviews on your page. Also selling products on the web is a good possibility, because you don't need many employees or room for a display. Succesful web entertainers and most popular bloggers can even take part in an advertising campaigns, not to mention salaries from YouTube Partner Program...



However, working online is still working and after all requires creativity and systemacity. You won't get a fortune after a  week, so if you're not patient and your only goal is to get rich, I advice you: don't waste your time on things you don't enjoy. And don't believe in every thing you read - you cannot make money by doing nothing, unless you're Paris Hilton.

Whether one uses the Internet to make money or not, its influence on our society and culture as well is undeniable. Whilst discussing any matter connected with socio-cultural aspects it is simply impossible to avoid the topic of ICTs, especially when it comes to three most powerful things in human life: power, love and money.

Here are some useful links referring to this topic. Enjoy!
