The global economy is facing very hard times right now. A lot of people are getting very worries about finances and it can be very tempting to hop on the financial woe bandwagon. However, you can actually choose to take a very different view and see our financial climate as an opportunity instead.
How can a bad economy be a positive thing for you? While layoffs and downsizing are becoming a reality for a lot of people, those same people are now looking for ways to earn money - online, offline, cheap, and free. Because there are so many people searching for money-making ideas, this is a huge opportunity for you. You can provide legitimate money-making ideas for others and make money yourself.
Here are a few ways you can do that
Create an Online Community or Blog
Because people looking for money making ideas is such a hungry market already, you can very easily tap into that market and profit by creating a blog, website or online community. It's very easy to find or come up with a wide range of business ideas people can use to start businesses, especially for those on a limited budget. By creating this internet community, you would be adding a valuable resource by giving your visitors a place where they can talk about business ideas.
You can earn income in a number of ways. The easiest would be by displaying ads through Google's Adsense program and by accepting advertisers. (You can also make money by promoting other people's products through their referral programs as you'll see in a moment.)
One other great way you can make money by sharing business ideas is to
Write Your Own eBook
Millions are made selling ebooks about business ideas. While it can be very tough to compete in the big "How to start a restaurant" or "How to invest in real estate" markets, you can easily dominate smaller niche markets without too much competition.
It takes a bit of work upfront to create an eBook. First you need to brainstorm a good idea to write about. Once you have your idea, the next step is to spend time writing your eBook or recording an audio eBook. After your product is complete, then you can make a website or blog that's designed to persuade your visitor to buy.
Of course, you'll need to provide ongoing customer support for your products and continually promote (market) your website to generate sales.
The great thing about the online format is that you don't have to ship anything or print anything. Everything is easily downloaded to your buyer's computer.
However, if that sounds like a lot of work, an easier alternative is to
Selling Other People's Business Products for a Commission
If you'd rather not create your own product, you can make a lot of money selling someone else's product instead. Most of the best-selling "How to start a business" websites (including the one mentioned at the end of this article) offer a referral program. Depending on which free program you sign up for, you can get paid as much as 50% of all sales that you refer. (Send a customer to the website and you get 1/2 of the sale price.)
One of the best things about referral marketing (also called "affiliate marketing") is that you save yourself the effort of making your own product. You never have to worry about customer service or fulfilling orders. The only thing you're responsible for is directing traffic to a website using a special link. If you enjoy telling family and friends about new restaurants, movies or products you like, then this could be a great way for you to make some extra money online.
