Are you taking advantage of the current climate?
More and more people are looking at the current economic climate and looking at the internet as a supplement to their income. Bad economic times leave people worrying but it also drives more people to look for those ways to supplement their income.
Some will be looking to replace their jobs but even more will be like my step son. He knows that I work from home full time but never had an interest until now. Why now? He just lost all of his overtime.
Now for the last 5 years he has worked overtime each week. Now it has disappeared. Before that happened he did not want to take any extra time to build anything on line. Now that he is looking at what amounts to a pay cut this now looks interesting.
He is not alone. At a Halloween party last month quite a few people wanted to know how you can actually make money online. Same crew that I see each year but this year the interest has increased tremendously.
One of the ways you can start to reach these people can be through the giveaways. Most people start their research looking for free information. Getting your product in front of these new people and having them subscribe to your list can really help you and you can help them.
I will be taking part in quite a few of them over the next month. The Thanksgiving Giveaway and Santa’s Big Giveaway are just two. Are you going to participate in these type events?
Most people that I talk to in various conferences online and see posting in forums have what they need to participate but may be missing the knowledge to use what they have.
Here is what you need.
- An autoresponder account – I recommend AWeber
- Hosting account – I recommend Zoot Host
- A PLR product that you can give away
Anyone that is serious has the web hosting and autoresponder and most people already have PLR products cluttering their hard drive. The big problem is not knowing how to properly use the PLR.
If that describes you take the time to check out PLR Video Tutorials from Doug Champigny. He can walk you through what to do and if you don’t have any PLR he will also give you 12 bonus PLR e-books too.
So take advantage of all the new people coming on line looking to earn at least a part time income and join the giveaways with me.
As always your questions and comments are welcomed.

Mike,
You are so right. Just yesterday, I heard that Glaxo a major player in the pharmaceutical company was closing their Philadelphia plant and layoff will total a couple of thousand.
Just wanted to say thanks for having introduced me to Doug Champigny about six months ago. I have been following him and his videos are excellent.
Have a great day

Mike,
Great info. I think we as information marketers are in a position right now to help people out as they are coming online looking for ways to replace income that has been lost through the economic turmoil that this nation is facing right now.
There will probably be hundreds of thousands of new people looking for ways to create that income. We can show them how.
Keep up the great work!

Hey Mike,
I’ve been singing this song for a couple years now and until recently, NO ONE was listening!
Instead of people looking ahead to the inevitable, they were looking through blinders.
Now, there’s a mad dash of people looking to supplement or replace their incomes using the Internet.
WE are in for good times as Online Marketers my friend!
Adios,

I just wonder what happens when all of these people start to make their own pages and build their empires. Sure you can earn money on them while they figure things out but the truth is that it is getting easier and easier to build a page and start promoting stuff. Just imagine the competition we will have soon?
Most of the world speak english and can make a page in english. I think that within a few years only big companies will dominate the serps. You need to work 100 times harder to keep your possition since everyone have Internet and people want to make some extraincome online. The future is dark for us that actually make a living of it right now.
