Laid Off? Earn Cash While You Look for Work

by admin on Nov.01, 2009, under General

Have you recently been downsized?

Have you discovered that it is very hard to find a new job in this recessionary economy?

Today’s Situation

If so, you have lots of company. Since the beginning of the recession in December, 2007, more than 5.7 million jobs have been eliminated. According to the Associated Press (AP), after the May 8th release of the April, 2009 unemployment numbers:

13.7 million individuals were out of work in April, 2009, and that was the largest number since 1948
539,000 jobs were lost in April alone
8.9% unemployment (the highest since September, 1983), but if workers who’ve been laid off and just given up or taken part-time work, are included, that number jumps to 15.8% – the highest since 1994

If you’ve been unemployed for more than a month, you may be feeling angry, or maybe even a little panicky as you see the pages of the calendar turn, with still no job on the horizon. In addition to your short term worries, you’re probably also concerned about things like being able to send your kids to college, or how to fund your retirement.

There are basically three options in this situation:

Freak out
Keep doing what you’ve always been doing (the same things that haven’t yet found you a new job), or
Try something different

Option 1: Freak Out

The first option, panic, is entirely counter-productive, and should be avoided at all costs. A little fear is a good thing – it can help us focus and energize us for fight or flight. Panic overloads our nervous system, reduces our creativity, and generally degrades our ability to respond to life’s challenges.

Option 2: Keep Doing What You’ve Been Doing

If doing what you have always been doing had been successful for you, you wouldn’t be reading this article right now. If you keep doing what you’ve been doing, you can only expect to get more of the same.

Although there seems to be a little bit of a light at the end of this recessionary tunnel, good people I know have still been unemployed for six months or more. Despite doing all the “right things” (e.g, answering help wanted ads and sending out resumes), what have they got to show for all that effort? Nothing.

My friends are not even getting preliminary callbacks – and that’s even when they can find jobs to apply for in the first place.

Option 3: Try Something New

The third option – do something different – seems to be the only feasible solution. With so many options on the table, it is difficult to know where to start?

I suggest you start an online business .

Never worry about being downsized again.
Don’t continue to sell your soul to the company store.

Take charge of your financial security; replace your old boss – with yourself! Invest in your financial security by starting your own home business!

One very good starting place for gaining all the necessary education about internet marketing that you’ll need is to sign up for the Online Success for Beginners course.

Home businesses account for approximately 7 billion annually while providing tax benefits, more control over your time, your work, and your income. Essentially you’d apply the Law of Large Numbers to your individual situation, similar to the way that insurance companies apply that law to minimize their risks. Insurance companies spread their loss risks over a huge number of customers.

Starting an online business will let you reach thousands, and millions, of prospects allowing you to spread your recessionary risks across multiple people, regions and countries. If you were to spread you financial risk, like the insurance companies do, you’d have a greater likelihood of a stable income and financial security for your family.while building a luxury lifestyle
