Make money with your camera - a fun independent contractor job

There's a growing need for contract workers to go to places and take photos of places for "cirtual tours" for busy realtors. I came across this job ad today and although it's by no means a full-time income, a virtual assistant or other freelance professional might make some spare money by being on hand.

Here's another company that hires people to take photographs for virtual tours.

Outsourcing (offshoring) as a political issue...

Apparently the Democratic candidates know that outsourcing jobs overseas is a hot topic in middle America. India has taken notice of Hillary Clinton's newfound vocal opposition to offshore outsourcing, although I couldn't find any American press coverage. I will assume that India is paying attention because it will, of course, affect their economy as well.

Here's what was said in recent rallies:

Barack Obama: "We've got to stop giving tax breaks to companies that are shipping jobs overseas and invest those tax breaks in companies that are investing here in the United States of America."

Hillary Clinton "... we are going to rid the tax code of these loopholes and giveaways. We're going to stop giving a penny of your money to anybody who ships a job out of Texas, Ohio or anywhere else to another country."

Convergys is Closing Call Centers in Canada

The recent changes in the economy, specifically the US to Canadian dollar, are hitting Canadian call centers pretty hard. Convergys, a company that has standard brick and mortar call centers in Canada, and across the world, is now considering closing several of its Canadian call centers. It could be the first in a line of call center closings in Canada, as US companies can't afford to spend the money with the plummet of the US dollar.


Convergys also employs home-based agents in the US and other locations, but it remains unknown if they plan on replacing some of the Canadian jobs with virtual call centers.

Work from Home - or Anywhere

If you're a freelancer or other telecommuter who is responsible for your own technology, there's a great article from Inc Magazine on different technologies to use for collaboration, maintaining computer security, and accessing your work from remote locations. Sometimes telecommuters just don't even think about all of the aspects we need to cover to work from home, so even if these services are out of your price range, you may see that there is a solution or two that you need to investigate further to beef up your technology.
