And here's another part of my occasional, rambling ideas on businesses fans, geeks, and otaku can start. This one is not so much a business as a side business, but it'd be a great one for someone who makes money with costumes, cosplay, or photography.

There are many things we can say a business is. A business is a tool to deliver goods, or do tasks. A businesses away to consolidate and in theory improve economic functions. A business is a way for people to effectively earn a living. There are many things indeed that we can say a business is.
(Yes, I could talk about corruption and so forth, but stick with me here.)
The business is also social institution and understanding that is important to analyze the future of businesses–when they actually have any.
Last post I took a look at the 3 areas of change in the world of business:
The Production Revolution – The fact we can make and publish/produce things easier and without the middlemen of the past, using new middlemen who focus on enabling and connection.
The CorpTechPocalypse – The end of Corporate IT due to SaaS, mobile service, and easy-setup. This also means setting up a powerful IT system is easy to do.
The Structure Shift – The ability to outsource major parts of an organization, from accounting to physical infrastructure, allows many common business needs to be met easily and cheaply – or become unneeded.
These 3 areas of change are, as noted, areas of opportunities – opportunities to save money, to start your own business with these resources, or even get in on these in your own business.
