How to Use the Apple iPad to Make Money With Your Own Business

Thomas F Jackson asked:




We are living in a period of time with a very troubled. Unemployment is at record high levels. Starting your own business may not be the easiest choice, but it could well be the difference between being able to pay the bills and keep your house and provide for you and your family, or having to face some other difficult choices.

Are you interested in photography? Taking photos can be a very lucrative part time of full time career. In the United States alone, wedding photography accounts for more than $5 Billion per year. That’s a very sizable market, and with some know how and a decent digital camera, you can be a part of this industry. I have designed a course that includes everything you need, including business forms, technical discussions, sample ads and business cards and even tips on using Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and Apple’s Aperture.

And now, Apple has introduced an amazing new device called the iPad. This new device will be an incredible sales tool. For photographers, I believe that the iPad will be indispensable. Just image, being able to hold in your hand, thousands of photos and hundreds of albums. To be able to show prospective clients your best work on a large, bright LCD screen. Anywhere you happen to be, you will have the opportunity to showcase your work, and sell your services to interested parties.

Until now, I have used my iPhone as my portable wedding portfolio. The iPhone has been a great companion. Not just a communications device, but also a great, always on, internet connection, GPS, Maps, Apps and a plethora of other uses. I have had and used my iPhone from the very first day of its introduction, June 29, 2007.

So, you can imagine my enthusiasm when Apple announced the iPad. Light, easy to carry around, long battery life, online connections by either wi-fi or via 3g over the cellular network, large memory capacities to hold tens of thousands of images, large bright colorful screen. This device will I believe, change the way we do business.

The Apple iPad will allow us photographers to showcase our best photos either using images stored on the device, or on a website using the built-in network capability. Whether you are a still photographer or a videographer, you will be able to show still images or video of your work, right there in your hand with the iPad. Also, you will be able to present beautiful slide shows, in glorious color and sound.

Using the new software Apps that Apple has developed for the iPad, will allow users to create some truly beautiful presentations. Apple has taken the iWork suite of programs, and created versions specifically for the iPad…at just $10 each. Quite a deal. The suite includes Keynote, for creating the best looking slide show presentations on any system. Pages, for creating print documents. Looking at the demo of Pages, Apple has created an amazing piece of software, that includes all the rich and complex features of the desktop version, but made it ultra easy to use on the iPad. The last piece of the suite is Numbers, a spreadsheet program that allows you to do all the things you would do with a spreadsheet, such as calculation in real time, the total cost of an album for a client, virtually instantly while talking with your prospective client.

Please go to the site listed below for some sample images of how the iPad will look when showing clients your work. The iPad will be available within a couple of months. Now is a good time to begin planning some sales strategies for using the iPad to make money with your digital camera.

Apple iPad – Why You Need One Or Will at Least Want One

John A Andrews asked:




Does the new Apple iPad need a keyboard? Bill Gates seems to think so which is why the companies “slate” that is in production will be shipping with some type of keyboard device and/or stylus. This makes it not really a true pad computer but more of a foldable laptop or netbook. Ask however if the iPad is a good book reader then why should it have either. You don’t have a keyboard when you read a book on a screen or on paper.

Disney’s CEO Iger however claims the opposite saying “the iPad is perfect the way it is and needs no keyboard”

Keep in mind also that Steve Jobs is the majority stockholder in Disney so there may be some bias to that unique statement. Also keep in mind the apple iPad will have a “virtual keyboard” just as the iPhone does so it’s not like you can’t type on it. In addition there will be a physical keyboard dock in case you decide to write your next novel on the device. The same issues that people are saying about the iPad are the ones that were said about the iPhone, which at the time of writing has sold over 50 million units worldwide!

So far over 20% of doctors are planning on purchasing the device saying it’s ideal for medical charts and things of that nature. Also many readers are going to forgo the nook and kindle and go with the iPad. Myself I already have a nook and I don’t think you can compare E-ink over any LCD screen for reading but for magazines and other rich media it’s perfect. Therefore I will still be getting an iPad, though I probably don’t need one. With over 300,000 ready to go apps at release and more specialized ones on the way I am confident that Apple will have another big hit on their hands regardless of what Bill may be saying. Really, how many people do you really know that have a Zune?
