Making Money in These Tough Times
If you look at the newspaper or watch the news there's no shortage of horror stories about the economy.
It seems the media has nothing else to talk about.
Just about everything that you hear is negative.
A lot of people have lost their jobs, the housing market is down, the stock market is crazy, basically people are facing tough times.
Some people have lost a grip on reality and are not even trying to attack the problems that they are facing.
One of the major problems is how to make money once you've been laid off or lost your job because of downsizing.
Actually, there are ways to make some immediate money without getting a job.
1.
You can advertise items for sale on Craig's List.
This is a free online classified website with a lot of potential buyers and you can sell items locally just by including your name and phone number or email address for people to contact you.
2.
You can sell items on eBay.
More items are bought and sold on eBay than any other place in the world.
Opening an account with eBay is free and only takes a few minutes and you can sell anywhere.
3.
You can have a garage sale.
The odds are you have a lot of things that are just sitting around collecting dust that could be turned into cash.
You can place signs throughout the neighborhood or run a inexpensive ad in the local newspaper.
4.
Finally, you can start your own business.
If you've been a victim of the recession now is the perfect time to start something on your own.
There are numerous opportunities out there for those looking.
If you're strapped for cash I recommend looking into affiliate programs because there's usually little to no cash to get started and a lot of the work associated with operating your own business is eliminated.
Actually, affiliate programs are the job of the future as companies continue to downsize and go out of business.
Now is the perfect time for entrepreneurs looking to go out on their own.
