Posted 04-23-2009 at 09:58 PM by wallmann
Let's say you own a business and you're trying to decide what kinds of products you should be developing.
Or you're a copywriter trying to select the clients and projects most likely to make you a bundle over the next year or so.
Right off the bat, you know it isn't going to be easy.
Just take a look around...
The U.S. economy has ground to a standstill and the stock market is stuck in quicksand.
The credit markets have dried up, and even our largest banks are teetering on the brink of disaster.
The equity in your home - most people's #1 source of savings and wealth - is dwindling by the day. And despite the steady stream of pro-dollar B.S. flowing from the Fed,
the value of your money is tanking too.
The number of unemployed Americans is heading toward Depression-era levels, and personal and corporate bankruptcies
are setting all-time record highs with each passing month.
Gasoline, natural gas, and electricity prices are sky-high and roaring higher. And every trip to the grocery store costs you more than the last one did.
Consumer confidence is cratering...
Prospects and customers are curtailing discretionary purchases and beginning to
watch every penny as if it were their last... and retail sales at all but discount stores are plunging.
And if all that isn't enough cause for concern, we had not one but two economic ignoramuses running for president, pitching
spending schemes that historically have proven to be recipes for financial catastrophe.
Sorry, but them's the cards you've been dealt.
So, what do you do to make max money in miserable times?
What kinds of products should businesses be launching?
Right now, I see five big areas of opportunity for entrepreneurs,
business owners and marketing folks.
