Do You Believe That It Is Possible For You To Have A Virtual Reality Start-Up?

Weekly Newsletter for The Freelancers: Here is the latest newsletter of the week starting on 7th October 2019. 

Before I start, let me tell you about why Virtual Reality (VR) matters to you and me. However, it is clear that virtual reality start-ups do exist.

With computer technology and software virtual worlds can be created. In these virtual worlds you can have the combination of realistic images, sounds, touch and even smell. It is hard to believe, but it is true. These virtual worlds can seem real and increasingly so.

Then, a user is placed inside the environment. In this virtual world the users can interact with the world as if it was real. It takes entertainment, education, travel, psychotherapy to an entirely new level. The uses are only limited by your imagination.

Did you know that 8 of the top 10 tech companies in the world have invested in virtual and augmented reality? VR and AR are world changing technologies and there will be freelancers today earning money as vr software designers and vr writers.

This increasing popularity in many ways is a green signal for business enterprises. So, it is high time to incorporate this technology into your business. Just imagine, you are using VR technology for the presentation of your project to your potential customers and clients!

And for the new entrepreneurs it is an opportunity to initiate a start-up. There are several ideas where you can use VR technology. Parth Misra has written 4 virtual reality start-up ideas entrepreneurs for www.sitepoint.com which you can read here.

Also, the devices we use emit radiation and glare continuously and affect our eyes.

Researchers are very concerned about the ill health effects of computers on sedentary workers. They are continually trying to find a way of overcoming these problems. 

Researchers have found some ways and by following them you can reduce the possibility of being affected by those tools.

We are constantly searching for news articles and videos on skills development and inspiration for freelancers.

Each week we have decided to bring you the links to what we consider are the top three articles or videos. Here they are for this week:

• When you start out freelancing for whatever reason it is clearly a journey to become successful because there are lessons to be learnt. Often the journey commences by moonlighting while retaining your main employment.
  
  There are some critical issues and skills for success that must be learnt when doing this. We have written an article entitled 10 Reasons to start moonlighting as a freelancer and produced a downloadable PDF on the 20 Critical steps to start moonlighting as a freelancer. Both of these can be accessed by clicking here.
  
  
• Starting a new enterprise or business is not easy. It is important that you realize right from the start that freelancing is a business because most people start doing it to increase their income for whatever purpose.
  
  Freelancing is very competitive because you are competing in a world market. It is very easy to become discouraged when starting a new enterprise. There will be no shortage of people saying you will not succeed, but you must learn to trust yourself and your journey.
  
  One of the most powerful tools you can use to fight off anxiety and depression is to keep a journal of your journey to success. We have written an article entitled 10 Reasons Why Freelancers Are Helped by Journaling To Overcome Stress, Anxiety And Depression.

As discussed in previous newsletters we are focussing on the niche website in the future because it is producing better results i.e. sales.

There has been an interesting development in our Amazon niche website. We have found Google penalizes websites reviewing products based on features and benefits without actual product experience.

We have therefore changed our strategy to include guest posts and this is the first by Eli Owen: Eco-Friendly Interior Decor Ideas To Make Your Home Beautiful. We will let you know when another is posted. The goal is to increase traffic and diversify product promotion.

There have been approximately 40 Amazon product sales (across all our websites) in the past month due to the keyword research and skills of Mamun, my virtual assistant.

We have decided to expand our search for appropriate articles for freelancers about cybersecurity and online scams.
