Ideas For Self Employment

Find a work from home job for self employment is as varied as the many varieties of snowflakes. Yet, you can rest assured there is an opportunity just around the corner which will suit you perfectly. You simply need to know where to look in order to find the right idea for your self employment.

There is nothing quite like having the freedom to work when you want. vacation when you want. Even wake up in the morning whenever you damn well feel like it! I know, I’ve been living this lifestyle for over 10 years and would not trade my freedom for any amount of money.

This is not to say I do not work. I do! Sometimes, I may spend as many as 16 hours in a day. At other times, I may go 3 or 4 months and do absolutely nothing but spend time with my family or throw Frisbee to my dog.





But you are not so worried about what I do. Right?

You want ideas for your own self employment!

Over the next few weeks, I will return to my blog to make suggestions for you to work from home.

I am going to start with what many on eBay have kept secret for years. DROP SHIPPING!

Drop shipping allows you to sell name brand merchandise without having to actually handle the product. You simply promote the product on sites like eBay, or advertise online in such places as Google Adwords or Yahoo Marketing. When you make a sale, you simply fax the order to your supplier and they ship the product directly to your customer. Many will even put your company name on the shipping label.

This self employment idea has been used by so many successful marketers, the blueprint is already in place and you only need to get the excitement to sell the product of your choosing. Drop shipping it is a very low-cost way of selling physical goods without having to buy a ton of stock up front. The costs remain relatively low since there is no up front stock to buy. World Wide Brands offers one of the best self employment ideas around.

I can almost hear someone now saying, yes, it’s easy to say, but how the heck do I get started???

Great question and I am going to let the cat out of the bag…

The most reliable source you will find anywhere online, with the best training and support is none other than World Wide Brands.

They also have a ton of free videos, audios, and ebooks for you to download.

They really have all the tools you need to get started in the wholesale business and for example, and only one example I might add….start selling products on eBay.

It’s truly limited only by your imagination and ways you can contrive to sell your products. I believe you will be impressed and hope you will take a moment to check out World Wide Brands and let you neighbors wonder how you’re doing so well in tough economic times. If you are more of a listener, you may find this talk radio show interesting and available immediately 24/7.

Lastly, you can also make money by telling others about the program. If you are interested in this and have friends who also might be interested, see the World Wide Brands Affiliate Program

I hope you can see the potential and will be one of those who will invest and take action on this little known secret to generating income online without high overhead.

Drastic Emergency Federal Rate Cut

A video conference between officials of the Federal Reserve led by chairman Ben Bernanke mid-December of ’08 led to a record-breaking reduction of federal funds rate. At a drop of 4.25 to 3.5 percent, it was the biggest reduction on loan interest yet in two decades.

The huge Fed rate cut that was approved by a vote of 8-1 was a move to do something about the global financial crisis and to prevent extensive damage to local and worldwide stock markets. “The world’s stock markets are in meltdown so the Fed came in with an inter-meeting move to try to stop the panic,” analyzes Christopher Rupkey who is senior economist at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi. Another analyst, Lyle Gramley of the Stanford Financial Group says “This move by the Fed was essential,” adding “Bernanke promised in a speech earlier this month to take substantive action in a timely and decisive manner.”





This extreme action which unexpectedly came about in between regularly-scheduled Fed meetings reflects how crucial things are financially. U.S. real estate prices are still falling, unemployment rising and consumer spending weakens even more as the effects of the recent stimulus program wear-off. The emergency cut is expected to lower credit card interest rates, mortgage rates, and bank loans.

Investor speculation in response to this big move by the Federal Reserve officials however may have caused a drop in stock prices in Wall Street. It apparently created further alarm and worry that the economy is worse-off. “This is a whole lot of new information for people to digest,” senior investment strategist David Waddell who is also chief executive of Waddell & Associates said in a recent news report. “Now we need time to sit back … and figure out what it all means.”

Federal Reserve officials don’t plan to stop with this action however- more rate cuts are in the works to ensure lasting economic damage control. Some experts say rate cuts alone won’t “cut it” however. More have to be done to trigger improved consumer spending and boost the ailing economy. According to a chief U.S. economist at Deutsche Bank, Joseph LaVorgna, “It’s a tall order to get (people) to go out and spend again,” adding. “That’s why you also need a stimulus.”

Advisers under the incoming President are expecting a trillion-dollar economic recovery plan under Obama’s term over the next two years.

UPDATE: Author incorrectly attributed.

I’ve been had! Sorta.

As mentioned in my last message (as posted below), a colleague of mine forwarded the last message I sent to you earlier today about the letter from David Letterman.

Turns out, David Letterman was inappropriately credited for a letter he did not write. You can see where this same letter was once credited to Jay Leno and started spreading around and reported at http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/hitnail.asp (Thanks Randy A. – Vermont)

The actual author of this letter is a conservative writer Craig R. Smith as found here: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=53028

Goes to show we should all double check our facts before sharing information online. Lesson learned! :)

Regardless of author, the article stands strong and resonates well with me.

TAKE THE POLL AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS MESSAGE

ORIGINAL POST:

This was an email forwarded to me from a colleague of mine which I sent to my entire email list. I hope you see the wisdom late night talk show host David Letterman dispenses regardless of your beliefs or affiliations.

===================

No matter what your political convictions are this is an eye opener….What a thankless people we are!!!

David Letterman, on President Bush. (Surprising)

David Letterman wrote this; it’s the David we don’t often see….

‘As most of you know I am not a President Bush fan, nor have I ever been, but this is not about Bush, it is about us, as Americans, and it seems to hit the mark.’

‘The other day I was reading Newsweek  magazine and came across some Poll data I found rather hard to believe.  It must be true given the  source, right?
The Newsweek poll alleges that 67 percent of Americans are unhappy with the direction the country is headed and 69 percent of  the country is unhappy with the performance of the President. In essence 2/3 of the citizenry just ain’t happy and want a change. So being the knuckle dragger I am, I started thinking, ‘What are we so unhappy about?’

A. Is it that we have electricity and running water 24 hours a day, 7 Days a week?

B. Is our unhappiness the result of having air conditioning in the summer and heating in the winter?

C. Could it be that 95.4 percent of these unhappy folks have a job?

D. Maybe it is the ability to walk into a grocery store at any time  and see more food in moments than Darfur has seen in the last year?

E. Maybe it is the ability to drive our cars and trucks from the Pacific Ocean to the  Atlantic Ocean without having to present identification papers as we move through each state.

F. Or possibly the hundreds of clean and safe motels we would find along the way that can provide temporary shelter?

G. I guess having thousands of restaurants with varying cuisine from around the world is just not good enough either.

H. Or could it be that when we wreck our car, emergency workers show up and provide services to help all and even send a helicopter to take you to the hospital.

I. Perhaps you are one of the 70 percent of Americans who own a home.

J. You may be upset with knowing that in the unfortunate case of a fire, a group of trained firefighters will appear in moments and use top notch equipment to extinguish the flames thus saving you, your family, and your belongings.

K. Or if, while at home watching one of your many flat screen TVs, a burglar or prowler intrudes, an officer equipped with a gun and a bullet-proof vest will come to defend you and your family against attack or loss.

L. This all in the backdrop of a neighborhood free of bombs or militias raping and  pillaging the residents. Neighborhoods where 90% of teenagers own cell phones and computers.

M. How about the complete religious, social and political freedoms we enjoy that are the envy of everyone in the world?

Maybe that i s what has 67% of you folks unhappy.

Fact is, we are the largest group of ungrateful, spoiled brats the world has ever seen. No wonder the world loves the U.S. , yet has a great disdain for its citizens. They see us for what we are. The most blessed people in the world who do nothing but complain about what we don’t have, and what we hate about the country instead of thanking the good Lord we live here.

I know, I know. What about the president who took us into war and has no plan to get us out? The president who has a measly 31 percent approval rating? Is this the same president who guided the nation in the dark days after 9/11? The president that cut taxes to bring an economy out of recession? Could this be the same guy who has been called every name in the book for succeeding in keeping all the spoiled ungrateful brats safe from terrorist attacks? The commander in chief of an all-volunteer army that is out there defending you and me?

Did you hear how bad the President is on the news or talk show? Did this news affect you so much, make you so unhappy you couldn’t take a look around for yourself and see all the good things and be glad? Think about it……are you upset at the President because he actually caused you personal pain OR is it because the ‘Media’ told you he was failing to kiss your sorry ungrateful behind every day.

Make no mistake about it. The troops in Iraq and Afghanistan have volunteered to serve, and in many cases may have died for your freedom. There is currently no draft in this country. They didn’t have to go. They are able to refuse to go and end up with either a ”general” discharge, an ‘other than honorable” discharge or, worst case scenario, a ”dishonorable’ discharge after a few days in
the brig.

So why then the flat-out discontentment in the minds of 69 percent of Americans?

Say what you want, but I blame it on the media. If it bleeds it leads and they specialize in bad news. Everybody will watch a car crash with blood and guts. How many will watch kids selling lemonade at the corner? The media knows this and media outlets are for-profit corporations. They offer wha t sell s, and when criticized, try to defend their actions by ‘justifying’ them in one way or another. Just ask why they tried to allow a murderer like O.J. Simpson to write a book about how he didn’t kill his wife, but if he did he would have done it
this way……Insane!

Turn off the TV, burn Newsweek, and use the New York Times for the bottom of your bird cage. Then start being grateful for all we have as a country. There is exponentially more good than bad. We are among the most blessed people on Earth and should thank God several times a day, or at least be thankful and appreciative.’ ‘With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, ‘Are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?’

-David Letterman

Please keep this in circulation. There are so many people who need to read this and grasp the truth of it all.

$1500 No Credit Check Loans

In today’s tough economic times, most of us are seeking ways to get cash just to get by. $1500 right now can make a big difference RIGHT NOW and if this is what it takes to make your family function, this may be an option to consider. Especially if your credit is not so great.

However, there are cautions as outlined by Sue Taylor of the Pay Day Site. She says “The downside to a payday loan is that rates of interest on this type of loan are generally comparatively high. The lender will either charge a fee or a percentage of the amount borrowed. Like all other types of credit, the cost of a payday loan must be disclosed to the borrower in writing. The finance charge should be disclosed in dollar value along with the annual percentage rate or APR.”

She goes on to say “When you look at this information, you will realize that this sort of credit is indeed a very expensive way to go. For example, you may wish to borrow $100 and write the lender a check for $115 to be cashed in say 14 day’s time when you are next paid. In this case, the finance charge on the loan is $15 which doesn’t sound too bad. However the APR is equivalent to 391% which is extortionate. If you continue to roll the loan over which many lenders will allow you to do, the finance charge will rise accordingly.”

Source: http://www.buzzle.com/editorials/3-29-2006-92244.asp

That’s a bit daunting, but if you fully intend for this to be a short term solution you will pay off quickly, here’s an article from Terry Schmidt on how to best obtain a $1500 no credit check loan.

How to Get a $1500 Loan – Almost All Applicants Approved
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Tracy_Schmidt]Tracy Schmidt

Emergencies can wreck havoc on your financial well-being, even if you are extremely responsible when it comes to managing your expenses. The fact is most people live paycheck to paycheck and a sudden change in employment, health or any new life events, can have mean not being able to pay your monthly mortgage, rent, car note, child care expenses, etc.

If you find yourself in an emergency and need a short term loan, you can get a cash advance loan, if you have a steady income. Most cash advance lenders do not conduct a credit check so even if you have less-than-perfect credit, you can still get a loan.

Where can I get a $1500 loan?

Consumers seeking cash advance loans, can get loan at a “bricks and mortar” cash store or use an online lender. More consumers are choosing the online option because it’s convenient, requires no faxing and it’s discreet. Everything can be done in the privacy of your home with just a few clicks of a mouse.

Some lenders have low loan limits such as $500, while other lenders offer up to $1500. The amount you can borrow, depends on your monthly income. The more money you earn, the more money, you can borrow. If you choose to use an online cash lender.

What are loan qualifications?

If you use an online short term lender, you must have a checking or savings account so that the lender can directly wire the cash into your account. The expedites the process and you can quickly write checks against your account or take the money out at an ATM machine. In addition to having a bank account, you must have stable employment and a steady stream of income. Usually, most lenders will require you to be employed with the same company for least 180 days or 6 months.

Lastly, you must be at least 18 years or older to get a loan.

Get a [http://www.1500approved.com]$1500 loan in 24 hours or less, online at [http://www.1500approved.com]http://www.1500approved.com. Almost all applicants are approved. No credit check and no faxing is required to get a loan today.

Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Tracy_Schmidt [http://ezinearticles.com/?How-to-Get-a-$1500-Loan---Almost-All-Applicants-Approved&id=1676510 ]http://EzineArticles.com/?How-to-Get-a-$1500-Loan—Almost-All-Applicants-Approved&id=1676510

Regardless of whether of where, you obtain a personal loan, I think it is important to add one final comment from Sue Talor who is a finance expert. She says “It may help to look at the reason why you need a short term loan. Is it because of poor budgeting and not saving any of your income? If this is the case, it may be wise to work out a debt repayment plan with your creditors and work on developing a budget. There are a number of free or low-cost credit counseling programs who will work with you to put together a budget.”

Unclaimed Stimulus Checks

Just as predicted, more and more stories are being reported regarding unclaimed stimulus checks.

Updates will be posted in comments section at the bottom of this page.

Those who have been followers of my newsletter may remember me saying there would be millions of dollars added to the unclaimed money and property fund the very day the Bush administration announced these checks would be sent to all tax paying citizens.

The proof is in the puddin’ and obviously, these stories prove my case.

However, there are many U.S. citizens who never filed in order to receive these refunds. Especially senior citizens, so if you or someone you know may be due a check, please contact them now to inform them it’s not too late.

All recipients must file by October 15, 2008. That’s only five more days, so you should act quickly.

If you have not yet received your check, and have not filed, do so now! See the official government site at the following URL:
