    The Samsung Galaxy S has a great size display for reading eBooks. With the larger screen reading an eBook is not hard on the eyes. The two eBook reader apps I tied were Amazon’s Kindle and Kobo. These eBook apps were easy to use and had a large selection of books. If you want to read on the go then this is a cheap alternative to buying a dedicated eBook reader. With a smartphone running Android you can start reading in under a minute. The Amazon Kindle app was a bit better then the Kobo app, the pages turned with just a swipe on the Amazon app. With the Kobo app I found I had to swipe the screen a few times to get the page to turn.
    The book stores for both services carried a large number of books. The Amazon Kindle store did have better pricing. The price was constant at $9.99 which I found to be a fair price for an eBook. The Kobo store also had many titles starting at $9.99, but it seemed they did price a little higher then Amazon. If you buy a Samsung Galaxy S then make sure to test out these apps. You can find many free books in both stores and they download very quickly to you phone via wifi or 3G.

    The Adobe PDF reader is also available for smartphones running Android. The next test will be to read eBook that I downloaded in PDF format. Overall I was very happy with my reading experiment on the Samsung Galaxy S and would buy more books. It took just a few days to read a full book on the Samsung Galaxy S about the same amount of time that it takes to read an eBook on my Sony Reader. One thing I liked about having an eBook reader app on my phone was that I could read when I had some spare time. It’s nice to pull out the smartphone and start reading while waiting for an oil change or in line for coffee.

    Let’s face it making money online is not for everyone. At some point those who do make money online might have a dry spell that requires real world income as it’s know a real job. Now if you are like me it kind of suck to have to go out and get a job. What if you can hire someone to find you a job? Well it true you can out source job hunting. Wow imagine having someone looking for jobs and sending out resumes while you do something else. When you do get a job interview they will never know you did not actually apply for the job. With an assistant in India or other low cost country you can out source job hunting. If you can get someone to find 20 jobs a day and apply to those jobs for you imagine the time you would save. All they need to do is forward your resume and you will pay them $5.00 a day for say three days a week. At the low cost of $15.00 a week you can apply for 60 jobs without doing any work. When you set up the task with your assistant make sure to outline what type of job you are looking for and the area to search. Once they find a job and apply for you have your assistant email you the complete list of jobs applied for and company names and contacts. You can also have your assistant send out thank you letters after the interviews. This is a very cost effective way of doing a job search without any effort. You can also use this method if you have a full time job and are looking for a new position. It amazing what you can outsource. Even for this blog I have used outsource service from India and I can tell you it has worked out well for my business needs.

    One of the easiest ways to get more sales is to build a relationship with your customers. This is a very cost effective method to increase the number of customers that convert into paying customers. If you are not collecting email addresses on your web site then you are missing out on a huge number of potential sales. There are many easy to use services to set up a pop form that asks visitors to your site for their email address. Once you have collected email address it’s time to build a relationship with the users subscribed to your newsletter. No hard sell you are building trust and providing the customer with useful information. This is why using an automated service works best for this type of marketing. You can set you first few messages to welcome the user and provide useful information. Once you have created trust then you can start to slip in a few related sales pitches. It would work best if you use soft sale skills to build interest in what you are promoting. Some of the top affiliates online use this method to make a huge amount of money each month. It takes a little practice to plan the perfect marketing campaign by email, but it can be well worth the effort. If you want to learn how it’s done then enter your email the next time you land on a page that offers a newsletter. Watch as messages arrive in your inbox with customer relationship building messages. Start to count how many messages are sent before you get a sales pitch. If you signed up to a good marketer then you will see how this system works and why so many are making money this way. The nice thing about building a list is that you will have an audience that trusts your opinion, and will take action to offers that are targeted to them. The set up for email capture is not that difficult if you understand a little HTML. You will need to place a small bit of code on your web site or blog to make the email capture form work. If you have trouble setting it up the company that you use for email marketing can install the code for you at an additional cost. It is well worth the trouble and effort to start building an email list and you will be wondering why you had not done this sooner when the money starts pouring in.
