			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the great things about the Internet is that it provides a great marketplace where traders and customers can meet. And it&#8217;s really effective at providing a steady stream of custom for <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/niche_market" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niche_market" title="Niche market" rel="wikipedia">niche markets</a> that wouldn&#8217;t survive otherwise. If you deal with specialised products, like <a href="http://www.freshpressthemes.com/">Wordpress themes</a> or <a href="http://www.usgoldbureau.com/">gold coins</a>, you wouldn&#8217;t survive unless you had a way to tap into a steady stream of customers. And one such market is industrial valves.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.valveshop.co.uk/">Valves Suppliers UK</a> is a company that specialises in industrial values, a pretty specialised market where customers number in the thousands rather than in the millions. They sell products like the <a href="http://www.valveshop.co.uk/Stainless-Steel/Stainless-Steel-Dual-Plate-Wafer-Check-Valve-VF962.html">Stainless Steel Dual Plate Wafer Check Valve</a> that retails for around £500. You won&#8217;t be buying one of those every day, won&#8217;t you? Anyway, the Internet lets them get in touch with customers all around the globe, offering their products to any potential customers regardless of where they are in the world. They also have a selection of technical documents on the website and a user forum that helps them prove their authority in the field.</p>
<p>Any other niches you can find online?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s interesting to see how new products evolve, sometimes out of innovation, sometimes out of a gap in the market. It&#8217;s particularly interesting when the gap in the market is artificial, created by legislation that couldn&#8217;t even have been conceived a few years earlier. Take for example, the <a href="http://www.premiumecigarette.com/">e cigarette</a> market. It&#8217;s highly unlikely that unless legislation was created that stopped people from smoking indoors, this market would never have really materialised. Instead today, the market is booming and new products keep getting developed all the time to extend it.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve never really seen one of these, but I&#8217;m curious to think what a real <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/tobacco_smoking" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobacco_smoking" title="Tobacco smoking" rel="wikipedia">smoker</a> thinks of them. Are the adequate in times of need, or are they just a fad?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="question">I&#8217;ve been using my laptop bag for a couple of years now, and since I got my laptop I&#8217;ve been adding more and more kit. I now carry a couple of PCMCIA cards, a webcam, a headset, a portable hard disk and a few other pieces. My laptop bag is busting at the seams, can you recommend a more spacious one?</p>
<p><span id="more-788"></span><br />
There are a variety of laptop bag on the market, all you have to do is walk into a computer outlet or fire up your browser and have a look around and you can find tens of different ones. You can get them in all shapes and sizes, but I did come across one on <a href="http://www.buy.com/specialty_store_6/weekly_deals/62329.html">sale</a> from Buy.com that looks like it could take all your bits and pieces and then some. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s the <a href="http://www.buy.com/prod/kensington-15-saddlebag-pro-notebook-carrying-case-black-kensington/q/loc/16234/10326062.html">Kensington 15&#8243; SaddleBag Pro Notebook Carrying Case</a> and currently retails for under $30. It has one great feature which I think you&#8217;ll like, check out the photo below:</p>
<p><img src="http://ak.buy.com/db_assets/large_images/062/10326062.jpg" width="300"></p>
<p>Yup, it has a drawer that sites at the bottom of the case letting you store all your cables, peripherals and other bits and pieces in case you ever need them. The comments on the site look pretty positive, most people saying it&#8217;s light and rugged, so I think you might like this one.</p>

All opinions are 100% mine.</em></p>
<p>Have you ever heard how great communication is the pathway to success? Well, one advantage of the online world is that there are a number of tools that can help companies and consultants manage their interactions with each other, with clients and with other third parties. One such platform is <a href="http://socialspark.com/metrics/click/post?slot_id=186862&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mavenlink.com%2F%3Futm_source%3Dadknowledge%26utm_medium%3Dblog%26utm_campaign%3Dadblog" rel="nofollow">Mavenlink</a>, an online cooperative workspace provided as a hosted service which can be accessed just anywhere. Mavenlink is designed to help you through the complete lifecycle of your projects, from lead generation, all the way to providing invoicing capabilities and showing off you completed projects to potential clients.</p>
<p>The website is free to try for 30 days, so you don&#8217;t even need a credit card to check it out. After that there are 3 different tiers of service you can opt for. There&#8217;s a free service that lets you create 1 project. You can invite unlimited participants, but not have another project. The top tier costs $39 per month lets you have unlimited projects and 5 users on the system. Which package you go for depends on what volume of work you intend to use it for.</p>
<p>If all this sounds like it might interest you, go ahead and check out <a href="http://socialspark.com/metrics/click/post?slot_id=186862&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mavenlink.com%2F%3Futm_source%3Dadknowledge%26utm_medium%3Dblog%26utm_campaign%3Dadblog" rel="nofollow">Mavenlink</a>. It might change the way you work and deal with your clients.</p>
