On
November 21, 2005, I founded the Make Money From Home - Off and Online, an
online group at Yahoo.com. That it is still existing today with 506 members
amazes me; because, to my regret, I did not give the attention it should have
gotten from me as its founder.
The oversight was caused by the emergence of
popular social media platforms like Facebook.com and LinkedIn.com. I joined
these in 2008 and since then I've been using them as my main marketing tools
for my multi-line Internet-based business.
I enjoy recalling the conditions around online
business in 2005. In the Philippines, we had just the dial-up connection.
Elsewhere, technology was developing by leaps and bounds. You can get an idea
of these developments from posts I published in the above-mentioned Yahoo
group:
On November 29, 2005, I wrote: "How would you like to
learn about broadband internet with speeds of 10 Mbps to 1000 Mbps? This
is found in South Korea, where there are no 56K phone modem users and
where there are more than 30,000 broadband cafes that rent hundreds of PCs
by the hour so that all Koreans have access."
Earlier, on November 22, 2005, I published this
post:
"According to Victor June, my mentor and the billionaire founder of the World Server Network TV / World Marketing Network, revolutionary technology has always churned the forces of economic and social evolution. The invention of fire led to the agricultural economy, the invention of the steam engine led to the industrial economy, and the invention of fiber is leading to the Information economy.
[Victor was the Korea-American who
got me as one of his international partners in a successful online marketing
business.]
"He says fiber technology is reshaping the world
economy. Unlike the agriculture and industrial economies, the means of
production and access to the marketplace in the information economy cannot
be controlled by a small number of people because the means
of production is the human mind and access to the marketplace is an Internet
connection.
"IT has changed the world economy and will lead to significant social changes. People who don't learn IT fall behind. IT illiterate people lose their jobs as their jobs and businesses become obsolete. Those who learn IT enjoy wealth and prosperity in the 21st century."
It was only last year when I got optic fiber connection at home!
