Using University Resources to Sell

The possibility exists to sell or buy on eBay without owning the computer which is getting you online. Machines designed and kept up for general use are called kiosks. Also, there are less restricted computers you can use in the ID accessible “computer labs.

”If you go to a university, or even a community college, there is bound to be internet kiosks, wifi, and general access computer labs. Printing is generally unlimited for most computer labs. Printing is free if you are clever and know how to get around restricted printing usage. Computer Labs: Order of convince

1. Kiosks - Plentiful, but difficult to use liberally
2. Wifi - good for laptop or PDA
3. Computer lab - Scanners, Image editors and HTML editors make life easier

Look into the art department’s computer lab and photography studio if you need more professional pictures taken. I have found that Irfanview and a Compact Flash card to allow me to get almost everything done. Since I use a camera which is older and uses a CF card I can modify the images that the camera creates on the same card I installed Ifranview on.

IF you check out what services the university is offering in the way of added education that comes with your basic tuition, you may find courses which may help running your business. Some of these courses include Marketing, Leadership, Conflict Resolution, Financial Management, Technical Writing, Sales, and Graphic Design.

Short courses and semester long courses offer a variety of benefits. Short Courses allow you to concentrate on a single point, while longer courses allow the better formed principles to sink in and give you time to study their effects. The more you know, the better prepared you are.

One trick I use to get around restricted usage computers, computer labs allowing only one copy to be made per document, is renaming the document between printing jobs. I have printed out hundreds, if not thousands of invoices and shipping slips in this manner.
