50 million is really a big figure .Why I posted is to get views on this situation specially its effect on affiliate marketing . Now so many will be unemployed so definitely a large no of them will be running towards internet to make money (after hearing those numerous online millionaire stories) . What I think is its going to have very negative effect just think if from 50 million ,10 million decided to be go online and out of them 1 million turned out to be good affiliate . So millions will be promoting 10000 products(clickbank ) out of 10000, 1000 are worth promoting So in short , by 2009 millions will be promoting 1000 products (by the way its just an opinion , so feel free to drop your opinion/views.)
most of the time those jobless will find a new job. Some of them will try internet but most of them will fail
I posted about the 50 million the other day... What you mention about many going into new sectors such as online marketing, wouldn't surprise me! It's a valid point and something for people to think of, especially those who focus heavily on online marketing...
It's a good time for creativity! People find themselves at home wondering what to do. I wouldn't be surprised if the home-business sector would boom in the next 1.5 years.
Keep in mind that starting a website and maintaining it and the associated SEO is one set of skills... You still have to be an expert in what you sell also. It's not as easy as you think. Plus, many people are "conditioned" to work for someone else. I think we will see a lot of new members to our community, but not as many as you think.
Yeah!! I really wish this to happen . We all want these 50 millions become our customers not competitors.
The recession will be a great measure of how well people can push themselves to excellence on their own without the guidelines of a corporate structure. If you want to win, I suggest you start networking and building your own empire. This is the time, when a new economy will emerge and that you will be pressed to think on your feet and release new products that will help those who can benefit from them and create a massive amount of wealth for yourself. Are you willing to welcome the new economy with open arms? I have embraced it and ready for the challenges ahead. My two cents, Thomas Howell
finding new job is take times during that many will find alternative job like internet marketing or online trading
