Book Description
The untold story behind Virtual Tour Profit... From the desk of Zach Calhoon Co-Founder - CloudPano.com 3 years ago, I first saw a 360° immersive demo built by Clayton Rothschild - I knew I was looking into the future. I asked him if we could build software to create 360° virtual tours. He responded, "Let's do it!" Little did we know the real hard work ahead. Before we built CloudPano - and before we started investing in our software company, I followed my #1 principle in business - validate first. So I went to 3 real estate offices and presold the service. I literally had people sign up and pay me - before we had a working product. After 35+ people signed up to receive a 360° virtual tour for their real estate listing - I knew the market was there. We started CloudPano.com the next week. Fast forward to today, we have 23,000+ users in over 21 countries and 75,000+ virtual tours have been created. Users have sold projects from $97 to $50,000+ and they deliver them on CloudPano. In this book, I lay the step-by-step framework to profit from the sweeping trend - 360° virtual tours. Whether you are a brand new entrepreneur or an experienced vet. This unique VR Agency business model has the power to radically upgrade your business and change your life. Join me and let's take the ride together. I will see you inside. - Zach Calhoon

Enid Blyton, and Her Enchantment with Dorset
Author: Andrew Norman
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780857040701
Category : Dorset (England)
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
Enid Blyton first visited Dorset at Easter 1931 with her husband Hugh Pollock; she was aged 34 and pregnant with her first child. She would later return to spend many holidays in, and around the town of Swanage in South Dorset's Isle of Purbeck, together with her two daughters: Gillian (born 1931) and Imogen (born 1935), and later with her second husband Kenneth Darrell Waters.What was it about this particular region that would draw her back, time and time again, and what pursuits did she choose to follow whilst she was here? In order to find out, we accompany Enid as she walks, swims off Swanage beach, plays golf, takes the steam train to Corfe Castle, and the paddle-steamer to Bournemouth.Although Enid's stories were drawn from her imagination, this itself was fed and nurtured by external experiences - in the case of the 'Famous Five' books, largely by what she had seen in Dorset. Whereas it is probably futile to attempt to match a specific real life location with her fictitious ones, nevertheless it is a fascinating exercise to retrace her steps, and having done so, to reflect on those topographical features which might have impinged upon her subconscious (or what she called her 'under mind') whilst she was writing the stories. It is often the case that when an author bases his work on a certain place, the subsequent discovery by the reader of that place's true identity may come as a disappointment. Not so in this case, for the real life locations are equally as interesting and exciting as the nail biting adventures of 'The Famous Five' themselves!
