It is also advisable to have a simple website with the information about competitive advantages of your car-hire service (prices and discounts, service rate, additional services). In addition, it is preferable to live in the area where the infrastructure is underdeveloped – than you will have less competitors.

A Frankfurt court earlier this month instituted a temporary injunction against Uber from offering car-sharing services across Germany. San Francisco-based Uber, which allows users to summon taxi-like services on their smartphones, offers two main services, Uber, its classic low-cost, limousine pick-up service, and Uberpop, a newer ride-sharing service, which connects private drivers to passengers - an established practice in Germany that nonetheless operates in a legal grey area of rules governing commercial transportation.

If you have a cool smartphone and a talent, you can easily become a professional journalist!  The main thing is to be at the right time in the right place, where you will find the sensation! There you can catch the right person and easily take a video on the phone, and then propose this interview to a magazine or a TV-company.

Blogging can be a good starting point for that. Of course, it is clear that a smartphone is not very convenient for writing posts, it is much smarter to use a tablet for this purpose. But there are many iOS and Android applications that you can use to write posts on the major blog platforms (including WordPress and Tumblr), and some platforms (TypePad, for example) have built-in modules for working using mobile phones.

Dealer at auction

The first thing that comes to mind is eBay, one of the largest online auctions. Good auction has as many opportunities as items exposed.

If you have a spare time, don`t waste it, – go to the flea market (there are plenty of those in old cities), buy something that can be interesting to customers (for example, a work of art), and set it up for sale.

There are many examples of such business. For example, young people in Europe often buy vintage musical instruments and furniture, partially restore these items, and then sell at 5-10 times higher price to Americans. Demand creates its own supply – and vice versa!

Smartphones-in-Business

I love to always be in the epicenter of the events, and then tell the world about it in the most diverse forms.I believe that many rules are created in order to break them in an attempt to create something new.Many of us sometimes need to stop for a moment, perhaps lose something in order to rethink our existence and understand in which direction we need to move.In addition to blogging, I am fond of music composing, traveling, self-studying and meditation. I sincerely believe that if you go your own way and listen to your inner voice, you will definitely come where you were going!
