Keep it legal As a seller, you're ultimately responsible for the legality of any item you offer for sale on eBay and the listing describing that item. If your item or listing violates eBay policy or is reported to eBay by an intellectual property rights owner as violating its rights, the listing may be removed from eBay. eBay has a Verified Rights Owner (VeRO) Program for reporting an intellectual property rights owner violation.

3 Freelancing Flubs To Avoid As You Start Your Career inShare19 Freelancing seems easy: you take a skill you already have down pretty well and offer to use that skill for any client who comes along. You get paid for the hours you work and, if you need to adapt your freelancing schedule to an employer or a family, you just take on the work that you can manage. But right now, there are a lot of new freelancers out there, looking to fill gaps between jobs or even looking to permanently cut loose from the employment game. Big Mistake: Thinking that You Just Need to Be Available Despite the warm fuzzies that you might get from watching Field of Dreams, Hollywood is pretty much the only place where building anything is enough to get people to come to you. You do need to build ways for clients to find you, like a professional website. Big Mistake: Not Thinking Like a Business Owner The moment you hang up your freelancing shingle, you are (legally speaking) a business owner. Big Mistake: Not Acting Like a Professional

Alternate reality game An alternate reality game (ARG) is an interactive networked narrative that uses the real world as a platform and employs transmedia storytelling to deliver a story that may be altered by players' ideas or actions. The form is defined by intense player involvement with a story that takes place in real time and evolves according to players' responses. Subsequently, it is shaped by characters that are actively controlled by the game's designers, as opposed to being controlled by artificial intelligence as in a computer or console video game. Definition[edit] There is a great deal of debate surrounding the characteristics by which the term "alternate reality game" should be defined. Several experts, though, point to the use of transmedia, "the aggregate effect of multiple texts/media artifacts,"[2] as the defining attribute of ARGs. Unique terminology[edit] Among the terms essential to understand discussions about ARGs are: Computer/console/video games. Influences and precursors[edit]

If someone give you $5 and 2 hours to make as much money as possible, what would you do? : AskReddit Research The Science of Familiar Strangers: Society's Hidden Social Network We’ve all experienced the sense of being familiar with somebody without knowing their name or even having spoken to them. These so-called “familiar strangers” are the people we see every day on the bus on the way to work, in the sandwich shop at lunchtime, or in the local restaurant or supermarket in the evening. These people are the bedrock of society and a rich source of social potential as neighbours, friends, or even lovers. But while many researchers have studied the network of intentional links between individuals—using mobile-phone records, for example—little work has been on these unintentional links, which form a kind of hidden social network. The results are a fascinating insight into this hidden network of familiar strangers and the effects it has on people. All this is made possible by the Singaporean bus service’s smart card ticketing system. The pattern of in-vehcicle encounters is rich, and the results of their analysis make for interesting reading.

Earning Income as a Nonprofit Corporation Nonprofit corporations, by definition, exist not to make money but to fulfill one of the purposes recognized by federal law: charitable, educational, scientific or literary. Under state and federal tax laws, however, as long as a nonprofit corporation is organized and operated for a recognized nonprofit purpose and has secured the proper tax exemptions, it can take in more money than it spends to conduct its activities. In other words, it can make a profit. Whether a nonprofit’s income is taxable depends on whether the activities are related to the nonprofit’s purpose. Making a profit from “related” activities Tax-exempt nonprofits often make money as a result of their activities and use it to cover expenses. Let’s take as an example a group called Friends of the Library, Inc. Because these activities are educational and literary in nature, they do not jeopardize the group’s tax-exempt status, and the proceeds from them are not taxable. Like this article? Loading ...
