Surviving In Today's Economy

jerry1952 · 10-11-2008, 05:10 AM

We're all hearing the news, and it's scary. The Economy is in the tank. Stock Market is plummeting. People are losing their jobs, and their investments.

This is the stuff that horror movies are made of.

How does the online entrepreneur stay alive? Better yet....SHOULD we even BE in business, in the first place?

It's very easy to listen to all the doom and gloom that the news media is shouting, and find reasons why we shouldn't be doing this or why our business will fail or why we're not making any money or.......

The online entrepreneur does have some challenges, but challenges do not equal defeat or impossible goals. Here are some heartening facts:

1: According to Google, at any given time there are over 25 MILLION people online doing active searches for either an online business or some additional source for income.

2: Every time there is a Recession there is a marked increase in start up businesses.

3: In a slow economy, people re-invest in themselves, and their own assets.

This is a GREAT time to be in business. If you are involved in an online business where a part of your income comes from expanding your own marketing team, you have millions of people looking for you. If you are selling an exciting product that is priced very competitively, people will seek you out.

The points that you need to remember,and keep in force are very simple. Do what has been a successful action for you,and repeat it again and again. In sales, we all know that it is a numbers game, and we never get 100% success. However, don't automatically throw in the towel and go into panic mode, simply because you're getting some rejections. Remember.....when the economy was doing great, you STILL had people who chose not to buy from you or join your organization. You didn't get scared then, right?

Right now, you may be experiencing a drop in sales or sign ups. I've been talking to more than a few online entrepreneurs, and they are all saying pretty much the same thing. The opt ins are still about the same, but the actual sales are off. The solution? Increase your promotion! Take what you know that has consistently yielded positive results and push it further. You want to increase the number of people visiting your site, which will in turn increase your opt ins, and that will raise your actual sales.

It's simple math.

Don't let the doom and gloom people get to you!

Keep your goals in sight, and continue to do your successful actions.

See you at the top!

There will always be naysayers no matter what business you are in or even everything is going smoothly. Even when the economy was flourishing there were people with negative attitudes during that time as well. You just need be optimistic and focus on how to succeed. Don't let tough times or negative people get you down.

This is one of the best times for us to introduce people to network marketing because people are desperate to succeed.

The network marketing business is the best out there. Even if you are doing well in online affiliate marketing, MLM is a good way to go to because we are getting more and more people who go online and are competing with each other for sales. It's just going to grow and grow every year.

On the dark side, there are also those people online and offline who want to take advantage of these people and steal their money.

i agree, there are many people desparate to find money online, and the biggest thing you can do as a site owner is to increase those peoples' awareness of your site. They are looking, you need to guide them to your site. Just my 2 cents
