Up In The Clouds
If you are an online seller or Internet Marketer, in the past one of the major draw backs is the fact that your life worked around computers and being connected to the internet. Over time we went from dial up modems, to cable and broadband, then there was WiFi so we could work around our homes or in the garden if the weather was nice enough, life was good.

Over time we had WiFi connections in hotels so if we had to be away from from home we could still work when in a hotel, then it hapened Costa Coffee, and other cafe’s offered us free WiFi, Macdonalds followed so whilst we were eating our food we could surf the Internet, then local pub’s got in on the act so whilst you had a pint you go go on the internet – this Wifi proved a big hit with the pub quiz fans !!!
But there was still a major problem for the people who were online sellers and internet marketers, yes we had all these WiFi places where we could surf the internet, our laptops had longer battery life thanks to modern day inventions, but……………………… our files and stuff were all stored on our main computer at home. Yes we had portable disk drives and flash drives, but these would not always have the files we needed then and there.
Then came Cloud Computing or as I like to call it Up In The Clouds. Companies such as Amazon, Google, and a range of other companies now offer free or cheap file storage up in the clouds (remote servers). These allow you to keep a back up away from where you work and off your computer. This Cloud Storage is good as you always have a back up in case the worst should happen, but it also allows you to access files anywhere in the world where you can access a computer and the Internet.
It will do automatic back up’s thus if you work from a main computer say at home and then a laptop when out of the office, you can update a file on your laptop and as long as you have internet connection, next time you access the file from your desktop computer the new updated file will be there.
So please take a go and get Up In The Clouds and will suddenly find a new freedom in your business.
