Working from Home in a Recession

Welcome to the future. The year is 2010 we have a black president for the first time in America’s history. We are also in the midst of the greatest recession this country has faced since the Great Depression. Jobless rates are climbing daily as newly graduated college students attempt to enter a dismal job market. Over 4 million Americans are receiving unemployment benefits while others are praying to hold on to jobs they hate. In these times many people are looking for different ways to either generate a steady income or supplement a income that is just getting them by. The internet has provided the opportunity for any average Joe to become successful and financially stable. The problem is there are so many opportunities mixed with so many scams is hard to decipher which opportunity is real versus which will simply take you to the bank. First thing you should do when researching work at home businesses or opportunities is listing your attributes. What is it that you know you can do? What are you willing to learn? The internet can be a very tricky place and very dangerous. Are you a salesman? Can you network market? Do you even know what network marketing is? There are a range of opportunities as spoke above but without a marketing strategy of some sorts failure is imminent. Now before you go and spend your money on the get rich overnight schemes that seem to rule the internet get your feet with the millions of free opportunities available. Blog writing, Reading articles, posting ads on social media sites such as twitter, facebook, youtube, and myspace are more free opportunities. You can find programs that allow you to sign up for offers and generate credits towards cash. Affiliate marketing with Clickbank or many other affiliate networks that offer you the chance to post ads for products you don’t have to carry and make between 75 to 80 percent profit per sale. So the best advice is to research then recognize your strengths and weaknesses. Good luck

Internet Radio v/s Mp3

Since the year 2000 the Internet has become the main source of communication for the entire world. So it's only natural that anyone who needs an audience they too would turn to this new medium. Internet radio has become very popular being that most is a free source of listening to music. Pandora, which is Internet radio offers channels that you pick to choose the type of music you would enjoy free. They then cater to your selection and play all music relevant to that category. With technology growing and advancing daily, we have made it to the point where our cell phones can communicate with the Internet and access Internet radio. This brings the question of the true need of mp3 players and devices of that type which require you download and pay for most music. With the option to enjoy your favorite music free verses paying to have it. You may see a shift in mp3 purchases such as the Ipod when your phone can do the same job. Internet radio is so convenient that even in corporate America's office environments many employees often get by there day by listening to music from Internet radio sites while working. Also outside of pornography most first time Internet users often search for music. This is a fact. This too is part of the reason that Internet radio has become so popular and will continue to grow there audience as new surfers began to populate the world wide web. The audience is so large that even your regular radio stations have turned to the online audience by creating Internet radio shows specifically aimed at building there online audience. Advertisers use the Internet radio to reach there audience by placing ads with the music since they already have the audience it now the greatest marketing tool this generation has known which is why is has grown and become more popular than regular radio which will only play what the FCC allows or what is popular on the charts verses picking and selecting the music you would like to hear and enjoy. I love Internet radio. I'm sure if you try it will enjoy it as well.

Are you Insured?

Health Bill passed.................and? Still here in this country nothing has changed. Health care is still as needed as car or life insurance. Yet still as costly as it was before the phenomenal new health care legislation was passed. There are all different types of insurance that you could buy but most are not excepted everywhere. Ameriplan for example is a discounted services program that makes doctors visits cheaper. This is affordable but you have to have cash upfront when visiting the doctor. Next!! What about the extremely high prices of for dental insurance? America what is going on in the so called riches country in the world. There lies the problem. The problem of value, money is more valued than life. People die and kill for money but no one dies and kills to save lives. Health care should be free in America. Is this not what we pay taxes for? Why is medicaid not extended to all and everyone pays for it? Soon the last place you can go get seen by a doctor will be stricter when asking, "Are you Insured?"
