How a phone can help you make money online

Phones are capable of doing much more now than ever before and have completely replaced PDAs, while coming close to matching some of the productivity options of a computer. They have the great advantage of being portable and offering a range of connectivity options. It stands to reason then that someone who wants to make money online for a living could really benefit from having a great ‘smartphone’. Here we will see how they can help.

The best smartphones will have quick and easy keyboards. Blackberries, for example, come with full QWERTY keyboards, while Android phones have the much-praised ‘Swype’ keyboard that makes typing faster and more intuitive. This means that, paired with a good app, you can write Word documents, blog posts, emails, and more on the go to get the most out of every ten-minute train or bus ride you take. Then, using the 3G connectivity built into so many, you can even charge them on the go. This is also perfect for updating your Twitter account or Facebook page, both of which are very useful for social media marketing.

Depending on your smartphone, you can also take advantage of a variety of additional features. For example, you may be able to use your FTP software to edit and download web pages on the go, or even use Google Analytics and AdSense tools to monitor the progress and success of your websites. Pair your phone with a netbook and sometimes you can even use tethering to give your laptop your phone’s connection.

With a smartphone, you can literally run every aspect of your business on the go, and it will certainly help you get out of a sticky situation on various occasions.
