Default 10 Things We Are Still Buying In A Recession - Great Money-Making Ideas (from Forbes.com)

This is a very useful article from Forbes.com, which lists 10 things consumers are still buying, as if there was no recession. Now all you gotta do is pick your poison from the list, find an affiliate program for it and off you go:

Top 10 things people are still buying despite the recession, according to Forbes

Holy crap that website was annoying. I hate tiny ass articles where you have to click to a new page for each paragraph.

Here's the items, and there were only 5:

personal care items
smart phones
video games
gym memberships
building toys (legos)

Nice list. I would also say that a lot more newbie "make money online" guides are being sold right now too. People are losing their jobs left right and center and there isn't enough new ones to go around. They have no choice but to turn to the internet and get a little creative.

Recessions are great for those in the "make money online" niche. People that are losing their jobs, or think they are going to, are definitely more open to creative business opportunities. They realize that there is no such thing as "job security". That term is an oxymoron from my personal experience. I realized that after being laid off 3 times in 3 years. It forced me to look elsewhere.

anyone with a long term or retirement investment portfolio right now is DEFINITELY feeling the effects.

My retirement account is about 50% of what it was a year ago.

I'm really starting to feel the effect of the recession. I'm a truck driver and am probably one of the few people here that likes their day job. But as the recession has been going, there's been fewer and fewer deliveries to do. I used to average a 10-15 hour workday and the past month it's now dwindled down to 6hrs a day average and that's with the days i'm working. There's been days i havn't worked at all as my employer is doing his best to keep everyone on hand making at least some income. My last paycheck was where i really felt it though. I was less then half of what it would normally be.
One of our bigger customers we do deliveries for told us that she used to get 30 orders a day across Canada. Last couple weeks she's only gotten 5 orders each week.
Yeah, it can hurt.

I wonder how you could promote gym memberships

Maybe selling gym equipment would be good

I am looking for ad swaps pm me if you are too!

How about picking up unwanted used exercise equipment making it pretty sell and deliver. Would need a good size vehicle.

I might try this myself.

Thank you

I know one market is the best selling of all time regardless of the recession. It spell 'p-o-r-n'. Sorry not trying to offence.

I have seen (and experienced) as more ppl get laid off, alot of them are going back to school and need affordable preparation skills for higher ed standardized tests. Hmmm seems like that works for my company

SUCCESS!

Thanks for that. I didn't waste my time visiting the site. The item I was thinking about is not there. Maybe they overlooked it or I am wrong in thinking that it is still in demand. Got to check out the market myself.

Thaniks for the post.

Looks to me like internet marketers are still paying to get personal advice through seminars, private forums and mentoring.

I'm not sure if I like this website or its ideas of which products will work

I agree with those that have said that people are going to start looking for new ways to make money so products that help them to do that online will sell the best

Thanks for saving me from having to click through all those pages.

Diet products, fitness products, and anything that helps feel better usually sell well.
