Chances are if your reading this your probably desperate for a job and looking to just get something in the door ASAP. I can understand this and everyone is at a different point in their lives.
First thing you want to do is figure out what your skills are because if your desperate for a job you must rely on your bread and butter. This might seem obvious but let's just make sure that has been covered.
If your not a dancer or have formal dancing or skills in dancing don't go try making a quick buck in that industry if your desperate for a job. Let's tap into what you have done in the past or have professional experience with.
If your totally green and have never really held a job before…. well it's time you get your fingers dirty and do whatever it takes to get the foot in the door even if it's a lower paying position. If your just looking for a job to fill in some financial gaps then do it short term as it's not a career change. Just get paid and when your up and running start looking to build your career in whatever floats your boat. Be it passion driven or income driven. When you at this stage and can claim to tell yourself that your “desperate for a job” then don't worry so much about the long term career path but more about this being a stop gap to where you will be going.
Now at your current time maybe it's a bit harder to think in hindsight but I think this is a better way to fix the REAL problem. Too many people only see the outcome and want a pill to fix every ill when really the best course of action is to analyze why your in this situation in the first place.
Many will deflect blame to a external source like:
1) My girlfriend left me
2) My car doesn't work
3) The job I wanted out of college was taken
There are all really excuses. If your going to survive in this economy you gotta suck it up and just make it happen. Stop blaming other external forces for the situation you are in. These are the cards you are dealt. You can bend over and get kicked in the butt or you can MAN THE F UP and just make it happen. All successful people in life, be it in business or personal enlightenment, all go through trials and tribulations but what doesn't kill you SHOULD make you stronger.
Just too bad so many live through tough times to NEVER really understand why they let themselves get there.
Now don't get me wrong. There are times that it's just messed up and there was nothing you could have done and you rolled with the punches that came your way. Well, you have skills so lets use them BUT understand prevention is much better for the long run then finding a quick fix.
Remember what a job stands for. (more…)
One of the cool things about the internet are funny things to watch on youtube then late at night doing some searches for “how to make extra money“. There seems to be a lot of people with our economy these days doing searches about finding different ways to give their income a shot in the arm.
Besides looking for a new job or upgrading the one you got let's look at what anyone can do, especially if your reading this article.
Chances are your reading this article on your desktop monitor or a laptop. Now there are some of you that do read my content through your phone but let's keep it simple and say your main computer.
The economy isn't picking up very well and those looking for a job need to continue LOOK for a job. Don't give up hope. There is work for you out there.
I have been in your shoes. I was laid off for about 18 months during the whole 2000 crash when I was released from Motorola as a product packaging engineer. It was a good time for me and I treated it like a long vacation. I took good care of my wife and life was grand. Sure money was a bit tighter but you just make do and survive, right?
Well, during that time the internet was still growing and marketing and selling stuff online really wasn't taught to too many people. I remember looking for ways to get some spending money while I was in between jobs and all I got was a bunch of cash gifting and MLM stuff.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm fascinated by the MLM (multi level marketing) industry but at that time I didn't want to do any type of offline marketing let alone network marketing.
But…
That experience left me empty knowing that I could use the computer yet have no clue how to make extra money from it. I mean.Why is it so hard to learn how to make extra money online and especially if it could be residual… right? (more…)

My primary business since 2011 which helped me retire from engineering is here

I've been in the business since 2006 and have seen a LOT of network marketing companies. What is even more common is to see reps bounce around from company to company and I've been there done that.
1) My initial service company pays me today every month but I haven't put anyone into that business in a couple years. The services were great but since
my focus has been in internet marketing I figured it was time to move on (that company is only in restricted areas). Even with the restricted areas to
recruit my team is well over a couple hundred in those local areas. Maybe there will be a time I'll go back into it when I'm full time and have time to do offline marketing. Reason being, this company is extremely strict for online marketing and one of the main reasons I backed down from promoting it to my online lists. This is just an example that some companies are harder to build due to advertising restrictions and locations that are available for recruiting.
2) My second company was a juice company and I could see the benefit of it but after going to Costco and Sam's club taking their juice products at a fraction of the cost led me to believe the products were all pretty similar. The only difference being the mark up in cost to pay distributors. I promptly left that company after putting in about 30 people into it in 1-2 months. (more…)
Maybe your new to the industry or just living under a rock but social networking for business is all the rage. Social networking for business is the art of making sales or delivering service to your potential customers by exposure through connections.
The #1 place to start networking has gotta be Facebook.
If your in the business of selling products or services then your business is people. Where is there the largest amount of people WITH personal information tied to it?????
Facebook has a ton. I'm not even going to display a number since it won't matter because it will have gotten bigger by the time you read this.
The important fact to understand is Facebook has people that come back and stay. It's not like a search engine where it points to other sites on the net. Facebook is like a cafe, a coffee shop, a place to hang out.
The killer point in Facebook is that people are tied to it even when they are away from the computer. The smart phone rage has penetrated into facebook allowing a deeper interaction between people and drawing people together.
So how does social networking for business use Facebook? (more…)
I was reading some news online and it was taking about prison jobs and they might be the winner over a security job. Security Jobs Pay What? So a TSA agent would get paid around $10-$20/hr based on payscale.com site. If you don’t know what TSA, it stands for Transportation Read more…
If you want to get more customers for your business you better understand the way business works. Before you can get paying customers you need to have traffic. If your online then your probably trying to build internet traffic to one of your websites. If you want to get more Read more…
