Telework @ Telecenters
Dear Community,
One issue we face in many communities where telecenteres are present is the lack of job opportunities and the limited possibilities for income generation. Many see the telecenters as a window to the world and new opportunities. The idea of telework at telecenters has started to emerge as a strong possibility for income generation thanks to ICTs. We would like to know if there are any sites where people can find telework opportunities, like a telework marketplace? or how have other telecenters approached this option.
thanks a lot

Hello--consider crowd sourcing as a possibility. Amazon has a prominent one--Mechanical Turk
A search for crowd sourcing will reveal other opportunities. This market is expected to be $9 billion USD this year. if you are seeking financial independence then a unified media ecology strategy for eCommerce in your community would be a more sustainable solution. I visualize it this way:
I would be delighted to share more about this if you are interested.
