We received quite a few emails from visitors asking us what would be the next ‘big’ thing on the Internet that will take the place of online communities. This is a very tricky question taking into consideration the unpredictability of the Internet, but here are our thoughts.

The next ‘big thing’ on the Internet will probably be remote application handling. It may be websites offering users the opportunity to run household appliances online from a remote application. It may be a website offering the visitor the opportunity in boiling the kettle from his mobile phone or computer at the office before he or she returns home.

It may be a service offering the visitor the opportunity to open a gate or garage door a few blocks before he or she arrives at home.

If you are in a position to develop such scripts, software or services for such interactivity it would be a good suggestion to start offering your services to role-players in this area as this will probable take the world by storm in the near future.

If you are good at writing you may find that selling e-books online may also be a good source of additional income. Best of all, you do not always need a website as platform from which to market your e-books.

Topics

When deciding on writing e-books, always attempt to write about topics that others may find useful and not always interesting. Personally I found that topics, such as hints and tips, scam and fraud prevention tips are always great sellers. When targeting fellow webmasters, attempt to compile lists of useful hints and tips in various areas.

You can also offer your writing service to webmasters on webmaster communities in compiling e-books on topics they require.

Where to market

As mentioned, you don’t need a website to market your e-books. One great service I have come across is Lulu.com (www.lulu.com) where members can create and sell digital media online.

One advantage of Lulu is that online articles are well indexed and you are bound to get sales during the period you are using them.

Lulu can be used along with your website as additional source of marketing.

Another advantage of Lulu.com is that the creation and distribution of your media is absolutely free.

Once ready you can also market your media on webmaster communities and refer them to Lulu, who will handle all payment facets.
