LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
The Making Money from Micropayments Report released today by top financial and professional services information provider, VRL, finds that revenues generated by utilising collective micropayments for virtual and digital goods is forecast to nearly triple by 2015.
The growth of broadband infrastructure and e-commerce coupled with the rise in social networks, social gaming, and virtual currency has led to a shift from face-to-face, physical payments to the monetisation of digital content, resulting in the emergence of new micropayment business models. Social gaming has been a key driver; between 2007 and 2009 online games with built-in virtual currency systems have proliferated with around 400 million active users on these platforms.
James Duckworth, Reports Editor, VRL Financial News comments: Growth in the micropayments industry continues to exceed expectations, and opportunities for providers to service this market are tantalising. Companies like PayPal have an opportunity to significantly increase their revenues and market share, and as a result may pose a serious threat to banks profitability. What is clear from this report is that there is genuine demand for a micropayments solution from the payments industry, particularly as a result of the growth in virtual currency, estimated at $5bn annually.
The Making Money from Micropayments Report is essential reading for businesses with a stake in capitalising on this increasingly valuable market. It contains case studies on companies already doing this successfully, including Facebook, Vodafone and Zynga, and examines the opportunities across data, music, software and services, which can be rapidly downloaded for a fraction of the physical price. The report further examines the business case for micropayments, emerging business models and examines payment card and service providers. It also looks at the rise of new payments services and user interfaces, and ultimately aims to quantify the micropayments opportunity.

19-03-2012 20:54 For 14 months from 2010-2011, Julia Allison, journalist and social media celebrity, didn't have a home. During that time she bounced from city to city traveling with just her suitcase, laptop, and iPhone. Allison, who became famous for being such a public socialite, became a digital nomad by working her social network as much as possible to couch surf at friends' places and friends' of friends' places. She admits that she spent little to no money on housing but spent most of it on airfare to afford her digital nomadic lifestyle. The details of which are supposed to be played out on the site Zen Digital Nomad, but the site is currently devoid of content. I asked Allison what technologies she relied on to be able to pull off her high-tech homelessness. Here's a list of her favorite tools: • Yelp: Anywhere you go you can be a native of that city. • Kayak: Booked all her flights. • Padmapper: Used it to find longer term places to stay. Takes Craigslist listings and integrates it onto a map so you can isolate locations by just a few blocks. • Facebook City Search: She would search friends in specific cities and work their networks to find places to stay. The very attractive Allison wasn't concerned with her safety. She claims she's a combination of an adventurist and an idiot who maybe should be more scared, but simply isn't. It's been in her nature to take risks with herself and her career.
