Have You Squared Up Yet?
What the heck is Square?
Oh, why I’m so glad you’re curiosity has brought you to this post today and that you wanna know more about the future of business.
As you know, the economy sucks. (well, at least for some people) But what that has done is created a massive surge of people looking for new ways to make money as more and more get fired from their jobs. The first place people turn is the Internet these days and start asking Google some questions, some of the most common search queries being “how to make money online” or “start a home based business”.
Either way, what this is creating is a wave of self employed entrepreneurs who work for themselves. Only trouble is sometimes people have a hard time accepting payments from debit cards or credit cards because those damn credit card processors cost an arm and a leg, plus they are big and bulky and just flat out inconvenient.
Wouldn’t it be great if you could simply just bust out your iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad or even your MacBook Pro and accept a credit card payment right there on the spot, have your client sign for it, and email them a receipt instantly?
Sounds down right impossible doesn’t it?
Well, if you know me by now you’ll know I’m always on the cutting edge of technology and all the cool stuff you can do with it.

Matthew,
Love this Square technology. Sounds so simple and efficient, looking forward to finding out more!
Thanks so much,
Adam
Thanks for the comment Adam, I am really looking forward to seeing this become more mainstream. Square is very powerful for home business owners and entrepreneurs alike.
I love it! What a nifty tool, especially for those who are out and about all the time and need to process transactions like these. I've been to trade shows as a vendor in the past and customers had to fill out paperwork with their credit card numbers and a bunch of confidential crap…this is so much more secure.
Though, I wonder, how will people feel about swiping their credit card on somebody's phone? Looking at it from a customer's perspective, I might be hesitant to do that if I wasn't aware of exactly how this new technology worked. It may take some explaining to those who don't understand things like this before they are completely comfortable with the idea.
