Google saves the 3rd world?
I liked the article written by Google on their blog about how you can get paid to do something that you enjoy. Maybe NGO’s should take a leaf from Google and relise that people need hand ups and not hand outs.
It is all about how Adsense furthers small communities across the globe with their payouts and how this filters down to the broader economy. Very interesting read.
As a past founder of a technology startup, I understand the elation of coming up with an idea that solves a real need, building a product, and seeing people use it to make their lives better. Even more satisfaction comes when you can do all of this and pay the bills too. As I mentioned in this article it brings a smile to my face to hear about entrepreneurs in the developing world who use AdSense to replace their day job with AdSense earnings — simply by writing about what they know and love. The story says these people are on “Google’s hidden payroll” — I say let’s not hide this opportunity any longer.
