I think although internet spending as a whole may go up, but I agree the total spending will go down as people spend less money. I think the Media has alot to do with this. If we didn't hear every day how bad the market was it wouldn't be so bad. If they one day decided to be optimistic and broadcast news that the economy is doing better, guess what? People would start spending again and the market would eventually turn itself around. I know there is alot more to it than that, but you get the picture.
Very good resources but how do you target those markets? How could you find the buyers in those countries and what do you sell? products from those countries or still depends on US products? (if you are an affiliate marketer)
Don't put all your eggs in one basket, don't or try to not have finance/loans to run your business with, etc. It all helps in the long run.
I only expect things to get better for me. I hope the economy will continue to slide because there are too many business selling absolute garbage products out there. So those will fail and th making money from home industry will only continue to improve. Since we are in the information age it will be the rise of the entrepreneur. More and more people should be realizing that relying on others for a job and income is a crap shoot. I think it is great we are in a recession. It is impossible to expand forever our earth only can withstand so much and we cannot keep getting bigger and bigger products over the last 20 years cokes at Mcdonalds went from 8 oz to 12 to 32 to now 44 can we possible keeping drinking more and more coke? I don't think so it has to happen sometime and id a great time to be an entrepreneur.
