In the early 70's the United States went through a manufacturing
"boom". The Vietnam War was coming to an end, the economy
was growing stronger, and technology was on its way to being one
of the biggest industries.
Along with the advancements, good paying jobs were becoming easier
to find.
Wages were steadily rising.
There was the opportunity for good retirement plans Better health
care coverage for employees and their dependents.
Then suddenly in the early 80's, it came to a streaking halt.
Many workers who had thought they had found financial security
were in danger of losing all they had worked to achieve.
Some were lucky enough to hang on for the "ride", while
others were not so fortunate. The "ride" has been a long
one. We have yet to rekindle the "boom" of the 70's.
Today many of the workers who thought they had made it through
the hard times, have either been laid off for extended periods of
time or lost their jobs completely.
"The Last of the Dinosaurs" are the hardworking men and
women who have found themselves searching for new careers at ages
when they were planning for retirement.
Searching for new careers has not been an easy task for this group
of individuals
Why??
- Their age.
- They are educated and experienced in their chosen fields.
The "Good News"
Technology has provided an outlet for these displaced workers.
The Internet has became their lifeline. Both experienced and inexperienced
computer operators have found ways to generate an income.
"How to Make Money Working from Home"
- Research the Company you are interested in joining.
The bottom line: A Company that is successful will make
you successful.
Do they have quality Products and Services?
Do they have a reliable Support System?
Do they provide training material and the tools you need
to understand what you are advertising?
- Avoid being attracted to every Company you encounter After
you become more experienced, you can add other Programs
to your business.
- ...Buyer Beware
If it walks like a duck, looks like a duck, its a duck!!!(not
my analogy)
There are too many unscrupulous companies also operating
on the Internet. Remember do your homework!!
- ...Seek out members of the Company who have been successful.
Ask questions, and join their forums.
- ...Develop a Business Plan
Take a hard look at your financial situation. Do you have
money to invest?. How much? Over what period of time? In
reality to build a successful business of any kind, you
will have to invest some monies. Beware of how much and
how often a Company wants you to invest money.
In conclusion do your homework!!
"We may be the Last of the Dinosaurs in industry", but
through technology we have become the Businesses of the Future.
