Lost Your Job or Just Had Enough?

"It's Time to Finally Learn the Truth about Working at Home and How it can Change Your Life for the Better!"

Opportunity, Money, Flexibilty, Family & Interests - You Can have them all.

In the past few months unemployment has risen extensively and will continue do to so because of the global financial turmoil that the world is in, forcing more people to reinvent themself to adapt to the changing times.

For those that made a conscious decision to stop working for someone else and start their own business did so after seriously consideration of what they want out of life and then pursued their dreams and goals.

A lot of us are not so lucky, including myself for that matter, have had to make certain decisions based on the fact that we had either been retrenched, told our contracts had expired or have been told in no uncertain terms “our duties would no longer be required”. What do we do then? Millions across the world are currently facing these prospects.

Re: April 03, 2009
- In March, job losses were large and widespread across the major industry sectors.
- In the US Unemployment rate rose from 8.1 to 8.5 percent.
- Payroll employment has decreased by 3.3 million over the past 5 months in the US alone.
- The rest of the world doesn’t show any better pictures of figures for that matter.
- Getting back into the workforce is becoming more and more difficult.

“Back to the salt mines.” “Another day, another dollar.”
Somewhere along the line, many of us developed a mental image of our future and how things were supposed to work out. We would go to school, get a good job, work until our hair turned gray, and retire. It seemed simple and natural.

But we have discovered that long-held plan was far less than picture perfect. It came with limitations on our individuality, creativity, earning potential and personal fulfilment an of course that fact that retrenchment and job losses are currently the news on all fronts.

We learned that jobs provide a pay check but take so much more from us. We work our hardest to succeed within the workforce, but find ourselves at the mercy of others and forces we can never hope to control.

We begin to realize that no matter how hard we work in our traditional job, no matter how many times we take on extra assignments, come in early or stay late that our chance for real success will always be limited.

Unfortunately, we spent so long assuming this was the way things were "supposed to be" that it is hard to envision a real alternative. So, we try to grit our teeth and "tough it out" in hopes that some miracle will happen and things will get better.
It’s the daily grind. It’s punching the clock. It’s a supervisor you can barely tolerate getting on your case even though you are clearly five times smarter than he or she’ll ever be. It’s middle management bungles. It’s upper management cold-heartedness. It’s a loud factory floor or a tiny slate gray cubicle. Forty hours per week, plus overtime, occasional weekends. It’s described as everything from a hassle to a prison.

If you are a good boy or girl, that hourly wage will inch up just fast enough to almost keep up with inflation every year and some day you may even join the ranks of salaried management and longer hours dealing with even more annoying people.

Unfortunately, along with all of the agony, the job also brings with it money. If you’re lucky, it might bring a lot of money, health benefits and even a shot at retiring without starving to death. Jobs mean money.

Money, whether it’s the root of all evil or not, makes the world go ‘round and ‘round. Thus, the inmates refuse to attempt to escape. In some workplace version of the Stockholm Syndrome, the hostage employees begin to trust and rely upon their oppressive boss overlords even though they recognize that the guys upstairs don’t have their best interests in mind. Even in this modern twenty-first century economy where people change jobs like disposable lighters—use it for awhile, then get rid of it—many spend their idle hours dreaming of a comfortable work prison. Some place they can tolerate long enough to make it to age sixty-five with some benefits. They don’t even want to grin and bear it for several decades. They just want to bear it. That alone would be enough.

So the questions still remain....

How many hours will we spend commuting? How many managers and supervisors will come and go before we tire of the corporate politics? How many benefit cuts and undersized bonuses will we endure? Are we going to wait in anticipation to be told that our services are no longer required?

The answer to those questions is up to you. There is an alternative.

Thousands have found a way out. They have pushed down the walls of their cubicles, thrown down their aprons, taken off their name tags, ripped up the company dress code and found a solution to the dullness and limitations of the workforce.
They operate their own businesses and they do it from the comfort of their own homes.

Working at home is an absolutely outstanding way to escape being a mere employee and to transform your life while improving your financial well-being.

No more commutes. No more annoying supervisors. No more dead end jobs. They operate their own businesses from the comfort of their own home.

Will you join them?

There are some people who are willing to make a break for it. They visualize a future that doesn’t consist of tears of abuse capped off with little more than a stooped back and a gold-plated retirement watch. When they daydream, they think about running their own show. They imagine not just making a living, but actually living. They don’t want a new office or to work for the company across town. They want to own their own future and they want to sweeten the deal by working at home.

Others are already at home and are looking for work. Instead of trying to find a gig on the bus route, they may be ready to do their own thing. Others may just be looking for a way to add a few bucks to the family coffer every week while being able to spend quality time at home parenting. Instead of forking over their slave wages for day care, they decide they can be both a parent and a provider at the same time by effectively operating a work at home business. No more morning commutes with other wage-zombies. No more spilt gas station cappuccinos in the car. No more keeping your fingers crossed for a promotion. If that sounds good to you, continue reading.

Working from Home

Why do people work at home? If you poll them (and that has been done, so there is no need for you to start canvassing the neighborhood), you will find that a variety of factors allow people to move from time clocks to self-reliance, some of the more popular reasons for pursuing a work at home career are:

- MONEY
- FLEXIBILITY
- FAMILY
- INTERESTS
- OPPORTUNITY.

One of the fastest growing opportunities.

AFFILIATE MARKETING
Affiliate marketing is very attractive because it does not require one to have his or her own product. Instead, you spend your time and effort selling products others have produced in exchange for a commission on each sale. Commission rates can be quite high--some vendors will supply you with up to seventy five percent commission. Other products may feature a much lower commission but may be a higher dollar value items.

Affiliate marketing requires a go-getter’s personality, a willingness to learn the ropes through a great deal of research, and some decent computer skills. One can get started without knowing much of the online world, but those who take the time to understand the nature of the business and how to make it work for them will fare far better.

Many marketers have purchased tools, software and instructional materials to jump start their career. If you are not particularly knowledgeable about “IM,” this might be a great way to get started.

Beware of Scams though...

FTC SCAM INFORMATION
The Federal Trade commission of the United States Federal Government has provided information to help you avoid work at home scams and rip-offs. Though there are many legitimate work-at-home opportunities, there are also nefarious individuals willing to scam other out of their money using tempting work at home offers.

Ie:
Work at home.
Be part of one of America's Fastest Growing Industries!
Earn thousand of dollars a month - from your home - Processing Medical Billing Claims.

You can find ads like this everywhere - from the street light and telephone pole on your corner to your newspaper and PC. While you may find these ads appealing, especially if you can't work outside your home, proceed with caution. When you review work at home possibilities, keep the FTC’s warnings in mind.

Not all work-at-home opportunities deliver on their promises. Many ads omit the fact that you may have to work many hours without pay. Or they don't disclose all the costs you will have to pay. Countless work-at-home schemes require you to spend your own money to place newspaper ads; make photocopies; or buy the envelopes, paper, stamps, and other supplies or equipment you need to do the job.

The companies sponsoring the ads also may demand that you pay for instructions or "tutorial" software. Consumers deceived by these ads have lost thousands of dollars, in addition to their time and energy.

Questions to Ask
Legitimate work-at-home program sponsors should tell you - in writing - what's involved in the program they are selling. Here are some questions you might ask a promoter:
• What tasks will I have to perform? (Ask the program sponsor to list every step of the job.)
• Will I be paid a salary or will my pay be based on commission?
• Who will pay me?
• When will I get my first paycheck?
• What is the total cost of the work-at-home program, including supplies, equipment and membership fees? What will I get for my money?

The answers to these questions may help you determine whether a work-at-home program is appropriate for your circumstances, and whether it is legitimate.
