Start Business without Investment
Unknown
start business with no moeny
 Do You know that, you can start your own Business (Part Time or Full Time) without any Investment?  Here I am not going to sell you any kind of product. But here I am going to tell you the Truth & the power of the Technology & the Information Age.
Because the Technology in the Information Age, any school going kid having a good business idea can set up his own Business from his garage or from his School Library without any Investment now. I am talking about the Internet Businesses. Let me give you my Example. “no1idea" is my Internet Business which I have started since 2010
You will be surprised by knowing that, I have started this Business without any Investment. This Blog previously was on the platform of Blogger.com which was a Free platform. The only thing I have to spend behind my this Business is my monthly Internet Bill which is very minimal.
Now, today almost 3 years of Blogging, This Blog is making good amount of money for me every month. Thanks to Google AdSense and it’s Technology. If there was no Internet than It would be very difficult for me to start a Business without any Investment.
There are several Internet Businesses that you can start without no or minimal investment such as forums, Affiliate Marketing, eBay shop, e-Commerce website, Articles Directories and many more. This is because of the Technology.
In the Information Age, It doesn’t require money to make money anymore. It just requires an Idea to make money. And Ideas are Free. If you have an Idea than you don’t need Capital to start a Business. You can start a Business right away.
When I discuss about starting a new Business, most of my friends answer that – But Where is the Capital? or I don’t have enough money to start a Business and so on. My these friends don’t know that the Industrial age gets over in the 1990 after the birth of the Internet. Today we are in the Information age and it no longer requires money to make money. It no longer require huge Investments to start a Business.

Connecting owners and renters of solar-friendly rooftops
Unknown

Solar power is not quite as straightforward in the United States as it is in many other countries, largely because there is no countrywide policy on solar encouragement. Nonetheless, rooftops and other sunny spaces remain a desirable asset for utility companies and independent power producers, and that's where Seglet comes in. The California-based site aims to connect property owners with commercial and individual users interested in renting or profit-sharing rooftops and other property segments.

Property owners begin by listing their roof or open land for free; Seglet automatically adds solar radiation and other details. Energy companies, independent power producers, energy consultants, investors, urban agriculturalists and others in need of sunny, open space can then browse through Seglet when they need a location for a new project. Along with each listing, they can easily see the site's solar radiation, wind speed and wind direction, and meteorological data. Seglet keeps owners' contact information private by default, but prospective renters can gain access to specific owners through Seglet's internal system by purchasing credit packages through the site. Membership packages range from a basic one including 400 credits for USD 44 to a premium version including 8,000 credits for USD 499.

Given the virtual certainty of the solar industry's critical role in the coming years, it seems hard to imagine any risk or downside in helping to facilitate the process. Sellsumers and others with underutilized rooftops and land, meanwhile, will surely jump at the chance for a little extra income. Food for thought, particularly in sun-splashed regions near you

Site turns rides-sharing into a social game
Unknown
If mobile gaming can turn the dreary to-do list from something we should do into something we want to do, then the possibilities are surely endless for other aspects of life that could use a like-minded dose of fun and motivation. Such as ride-sharing, for instance. As if on cue, Ridekicks is a UK-based site that turns carpooling into a social game with rewards for earth-friendly driving.

Now in beta, Ridekicks aims to use fun to help change the way that people use cars. Toward that end, it awards points to users for every shared ride. Users planning a trip can post it on the site as well as promote it on their own social networks, while those hoping for a ride can search for opportunities to share. Drivers who want to charge passengers for the ride can even do so through the site; Ridekicks charges a 5 percent fee per transaction. In any case, every shared mile by either driver or passenger equates to one Ridekick point, allowing both sides of the equation to be rewarded. Points are also earned when those who share a ride put “stickers” on each other's profiles, as well as when they complete reviews. Points are taken away, however, for those who are reviewed badly. In Foursquare-like fashion, the ultimate goal of the game is to become “The King of the Road,” or the highest-scoring participant; those who earn that title, however, only get to keep it as long as they keep sharing. There's also the chance to become “The Hometown Hero” — the highest-scoring participant from any given city — or “Captain Planet,” the player who travels the most miles as a passenger. Ridekicks hasn't yet decided on any reward scheme for accumulated points, but it's open to suggestions.

OK, so that's two mundane aspects of life converted into games. All you developer-minded entrepreneurs out there: where else does the world need more fun?

Blinking pebble teaches users to take shorter showers
Unknown

It's one thing to encourage consumers to take shorter showers, but helping them do that is another matter entirely. Toward that end, the Waterpebble is a new innovation that tracks water usage in the shower and prompts users when it's time to finish up.

Created by UK design firm Priestmangoode, the Waterpebble is a small disc that gets placed near the shower drain. When it's first used, it learns how long the user's showers typically are. Then, on subsequent showers, it uses a series of “traffic light” signals ranging from green to red to tell consumers when to finish. Each time it's used, the Waterpebble fractionally reduces the length of the user's shower, resulting in water savings without the need for any conscious effort. The Waterpebble is available at select online retailers for about GBP 8.

Similar to Efergy's Shower Time, the Waterpebble is one more example of the opportunity that awaits those who can help consumers use less resources. Retailers around the globe: one to add to your own eco-minded line...?
