With the economy in a downturn in almost all the countries of the world, there is certainly a tremendous deal of uncertainty all over. Some folks are already reeling from being abruptly dismissed from a job that was bringing in a fair large income. Some despite been unhappy in their present job or position are afraid to even think of seeking for opportunities else were or start something they could call their own. Instead they cling desperately to these jobs and just have to forge ahead ready to face the uncertainty that the future holds.

Then, here are 10 reasons why owning your own business or businesses in an economic downturn is a grand idea.

1. Money comes to your hand on daily basis.

If you are running your own business, there is the tendency that money will begin to come to your hand on DAILY basis instead of waiting for a pay check.

2. You control your future

When you are working for someone, it’s the person that controls your future but when you are running your own business it’s your responsibility for you to determine your destiny and the success of it. It’s an enormous task but you can still succeed in your own business during RECESSION than to live in fear of the unknown.

3. The possibility of attaining your goal or objective.

Perfection comes through practice, starting your own business may be a beat stressful but once you have started and perfected the act of running your own business, you will be amaze with how easy it’s to attaining your goal through your personal business.

4. you will end the daily rush-hour commute.
Commuting to and from work can sometimes be very boring and stressful experience you know? Traveling during peak times when the roads and public transportation system are congested and crowed is not a good idea and it’s not the best way of starting your day neither for ending it. Thus, what about a 100s to 120s commute to your office at home? Think about it.

5. You can follow your passion.

Don’t say because you have bills to pay then you got to stick to the job that you are dissatisfied with, you can do something you like doing and passionate about and still get paid for doing it. You can even start the business on a part-time basis and later switch to full time if money is the problem of starting your own business.

How to Make Money Online From Scratch in Just 3 Easy Steps

You Can Make Money Online From Scratch

I know what you are thinking right now. "Oh dear, not another one of these phony get rich quick systems". And I don't blame you because nowadays there are constantly offers for "make money online from home" products that claim to allow you success by only working one hour a week. You know, the "We guarantee you'll be making millions in a year from your own home just by sitting on your ass!" commercials.

In all seriousness though, it is actually possible to make money online from scratch. You just need to know how to approach the task of doing so. How should you go about earning money online from scratch? Don't worry, because I've broken down the process into 3 easy steps for you. Are you ready? Ok, let's get down to business...

1. Set Yourself Up For Success

No matter how ridiculous it may sound, half of the battle of making money online from scratch is having the right mindset and being realistic. Let's face it, you probably aren't going to become a millionaire within your first month online. It's just not going to happen. You need to realize that if you want to be successful at making money on the internet then you have to be willing to work hard. You need to be prepared to fail miserably. Why am I being so pessimistic? Because whether you like it or not you will not get things right the first time. You are going to fail, you are going to get frustrated, and you will work your ass off.

But if you are willing to make some sacrifices then you will absolutely be successful online. And this is the most important part in setting yourself up for success. You need to tell yourself that you will achieve your goal of making money online from scratch no matter how hard it may be. Only you can decide whether or not you will make money online from scratch.

2. Find Your Passion

You do have an interest, right? The reason I ask is because having an interest in something is one of the key factors to becoming successful online and earning money from scratch. A passion for something will keep you going when times are tough and it will keep you interested in what you are doing as well. And being interested is very important if you plan on doing quality work.

I won't lie to you, it is possible to earn money on the internet without having an interest in something but it will also be 10x harder. Especially when you are attempting to start from scratch. So, make sure that you find something that you can honestly say you are interested in. It really doesn't matter what it is as long as you are happy with it.

3. You Thought You Were The Only One?

Let me ask you something. Did you really think that you were the only one with your particular interest? Of course there are other people out there that like the same things as you! If society didn't share common interests then a ton of people would be out of jobs. You see, sharing a common interest with others is exactly how you will be earning money from scratch online. How? You will need to do a little research by finding out what others with your similar interest are looking to buy and what they are eager to find out.

This is called market research. And as someone who is already experienced with you interest you will have a huge advantage over the competition. The way which you will use this advantage is by giving the consumers in the market of your interest what they want and then earning some serious cash as a result. It's really that easy to make money online from scratch as long as you put in the effort.

Work at Home JobsThat Aren't Scams

Finding Legitimate Work at Home

You've probably learned by now that finding legitimate work at home opportunity is no an easy task. There are countless scams which are like wolves in sheep's clothing. They appear to be above board but they really aren't. Some never pay at all. They just charge you a membership and that’s all you've got. Others actually do pay, but after a few simple calculations you learn that with the time you've spent marketing their product, you’re earning about half of minimum wage.

It's time to Stop the Madness.

Stop wasting your time and money filling out surveys for pennies and soliciting others to join multi level marketing referral programs.

If you don't have young children at home, and can guarantee a quiet working environment, customer service and sales phone work is a great opportunity. Many companies like West and Live Ops which I can personally vouch for, allow you to set your own hours. They both give bonuses although Live Ops does pay about $3-$12 more per hour depending on how good you are at upselling.

Below is a long list of real work at customer service/phone jobs. Some I have actually been hired for, or know other wahm moms who have. As with any employment opportunity, be sure to research each opportunity to verify that it is right for you.
