You know this is a topic that’s been on everyone’s mind at some point over the past several years. It’s been tough for many people and well most importantly many families. The crunch on the economy has had a grip on many of us and trying to adjust to rising fuel prices and rising groceries prices and well pretty much everything is rising…that many families are pulling straying away from the “wholesome Family” unit and stress has build up between spouses, children and well heck even the family pets. I mean just recently well maybe the past few months. I have seen more pet adoptions pictures in the San Diego Reader than I have in the past several years. It seems people are making cuts in all areas and getting rid of the family pet has become a HUGE norm.
So, I wonder what we are doing, all of us, including myself to try and make ends meet? Yah, I know trying to get a new job is probably a crazy idea, and trying to ask for a raise from your current employer can seems right not a bit out of place…so maybe trying to find a second job…maybe in the Service industry could b the answer, but then when then you get family time or an actual break…it could lead our society to a, “I Work to Live” attitude and you no longer just live. I know…maybe you can start your own business, but heck what business would thrive right now in today’s times? Could you physically stop working and not worry about getting a fixed income and start a business and maybe wait a few years before it starts to give you some income? The decisions are tough…more and more people out on the net are looking for ways to make some extra money, whether it is 100 dollars or 1000 dollars a month…something to supplement and actually more than likely extra money that you can put away and have in case you do loose your job. WOW…you know yah ok…we see the Stock market at 12,000, yah we hear that Unemployment is at 9%...but wait…is that number really accurate?
I see the things around us, and wonder what is really happening? I do have a job, thank goodness for that, but I also, for the past 5 or 6 years been trying my hand at on-line business…wait…ok so I am a Real Estate agent and I have my Notary…ok…but…yes…I have been researching, learning, and doing online business…and not until now has it at least been giving me some income…maybe nothing to write home about but income. I have learned so much about the ins and outs of the internet, the marketing, the links, the banner, the banner exchanges, the ad placement, the social networking and well the language of the Internet…because it is different…believe me and if you are anything like me, you could end up spinning your wheels for years and get nowhere, but I have found one very important thing, a characteristic that not many have…when they attempt a new business and that is, “consistency”…people give up after 3-4 months…blaming the business opportunity and the economy…the thing is…and this will probably sound extremely lame, but “slow and steady will get you there”. This is how I see it, if I continue working the business, maybe by the time I retire…it will produce enough income to support some kind of living…maybe not living large…but a living without worries…and the income will be coming in steady. I don’t know…I could be preaching to the quire…I could be saying the same thing thousands of people have written about, sold books about, made movies about, but the only thing you can’t do in today’s’ economy is, “Not Be Consistent”.
My Perspective:
I think the possibilities are out there; yes these business opportunities or affiliate opportunities are there for a reason…and not simply to suck up your money…actually you should never pay for an Affiliate Opportunity, if you work them properly and keep it steady…I know you will see some results…ok yah maybe not the results you would like to see…but picture this…you are retired in 10-20 years…and every two weeks or every month…you get a check in the mail for 500 dollars…may not sound like a lot and maybe 500 dollars won’t get you far…but $500 is better than $0…only saying. So, look around, do the research, don’t spend a whole lot of money or none at all is better and see about a business opportunity or Affiliate Program…heck I have a few listed on this blog…but like always say…research, learn and if you decide to jump aboard, then “Stick-To-It”.
I wish you and yours a good 2011 and if you have gotten this far…you can make the rest of the trip or at least make it memorable. Latino Man signing off…till next time.
