Technology Business in Guatemala

Kinglacho is a regular community member of ours, who happens to live in Guatemala. He is currently studying Systems Engineering, but knows that jobs in his field are rare where he lives. Kingalacho is curious as to what it takes to start a successful online business, such as mine.
Since I’m from Guatemala, a Third-World country, I’m aware that there are pretty much no interesting opportunities down here in the industry. It’s tormenting me, and I wanted to know if you could give me some ideas for a Web-based way of making some money. I’d like to combine this with my studies, and possibly make some money while still studying. Perhaps building a website or a web community, or maybe blogging very often like you do… I seriously don’t know. I’ve had some ideas, but I really do not know what to do in order to find a way to fulfill my need to work freely, doing what I like, which is working on computers and being online. I was hoping that you could perhaps put me on the right path. I appreciate your advice, since I’ve been able to see how much recognition you have on the Web, and I know that you do have many contacts. I feel that if there is someone to turn to for advice, it’s you. So, I’ll be waiting for your reply, and I want to thank you in advance, because I really, really would love to hear what you’ve got to say… Thank you.
Even being in a Third-World country, you have an amazing opportunity ahead of you. I wouldn’t be suprised to find that there are grants available either from your local government or on the International level that could help you realize your dreams. If you know what it is you want to do, there are so many ways out there to help you get started. What is the Internet doing to enable Commerce across the borders? If you put up a website, I should be able to visit. Maybe you have a marketable service that you are extremely good at… such as Web Design, or System Administration.
One thing I remember about being in Guatemala on my honeymoon is all the crafts and artwork for sale. To help enable those who don’t know anything about Technology… I think there is a gigantic opportunity for you. You could help them (and yourself) by getting them onto eBay or another auction site. You could start your own site, having a podcast where you feature a local artisan. You could have a site where you sell artwork and crafts on a commission basis. Just in that one area alone, there are many opportunities and ideas.
You obviously have the skills, access and ideas to make yourself a success. You just need to go for it. If it doesn’t work at first… you can always tweak it, scrap it and start over… anything! The possibilities are absolutely endless. Good luck to you!

Hello Christ!
I am also from Guatemala currently living in the US.
I am happy to hear you talk about Guatemala like that, and yes it is a wonderful country, with wonderful people and great things. You know, one of the worlds greatest civilizations lived there long ago and as you learn about them it makes you want to lear more about Guatemala’s history and it’s culture.
You have to go there and visit Tikal.

2. Hurricane Systems, they do very good computers.
3. Some graphics from some Big movies like Hollywood are designed for Guatemalans graphics designers.
Since gringos bitches doesnt want to pay enough or want to make more money from their fake movies. Whatever.

I tried to understand your message, but couldn’t. I think you are using the words “FOR” and “FROM” the wrong way. Try to take an advanced English grammar course. No offense intended.
I am Guatemalan and live in Guatemala. My wife has the same problem as kinglacho: she graduated from Galileo Informatica and the best job offer she has received was as a secretary making Q2000 a month.
We do have SOME software companies (I own one myself) but Guatemalans use the Internet mostly for entertainment.

I dont care about your stupid comments. English & spanish are different in many ways. If you disslike the way I express myself then just figure it out dummie and stop doing stupid comments about it. By the way I dont care about your wife and your personal stupid life.

When I lived in S.A. gallery owners from the USA would come & buy paintings direct from artists for $1. each & sell them to US galleries for $50. or more. Galleries would write a glam phony bio about the artist and sell them for $200. or more. It made the artist “famous” but the artist only got $1.00. (I would like to see that kind of operation sabotaged!) So I suggest setting up an online Gallery & take only the fair customary share of 30%. Make artists some money as well as yourself.
