On Making Money With Acrylic Globe
After traveling internationally as a Marine and later as a product developer for a plastics company, in 1981 John Szal combined his love of travel and design in Spherical Concepts (sphericalconcepts.com), a maker of acrylic globes.
The firm's Earth and sky globes, which range in diameter from three inches to five feet, are handcrafted in Frazer, Pa., using a process based on glass blowing. Continents or constellations are silk-screened onto a sheet of acrylic, which is then heated and inflated.
The 12,000 globes sold in 2006 pulled in more than $3 million. Spherical has an exclusive deal with National Geographic Maps and sells globes at upscale retailers, such as Hammacher Schlemmer. In May a four-foot granite globe designed by the company's cartographers was unveiled at NASA's Kennedy Space Center.

With ACB2B.com you can find goods to import from China
With ACB2B.com you can find goods to import from China. You can join the site for free and start searching for importers or exporters, heck you can even look for people to hire overseas. Its sort of like an international Craigslist especially for businesses. One of the great things about the site is, it allows you to make your posts in English and the workers at the site will translate your messages into Chinese so you arent pigeonholed into only dealing with Chinese that speak English, you are advertising to the whole lot of them. They also have a full detailed page about how to do business in China, showing some of the different laws you will need to abide by and some cultural differences to be advised of.
There is so much business happening between the US and China between large companies, it is about time for the average entrepreneur to be able to take advantage of the global market that our top companies have been for years. Finally there is a company to help facilitate that.
