How To Survive Recession
You're here: AIM Home » Internet Money » How To Survive Recession
In these difficult times, many people fear the near future, so in the past few weeks, I’ve sent some great opportunities to my lists in order to help survive recession times.
Since the name of this blog starts with ‘Affordable’, I didn’t promote any high ticket items. Instead, I showed some free and a few very cheap ways to make money immediately. All I had in mind is to help these scared people to survive this recession.
That may have been a mistake on my part, because the cheaper the solution, the more INcredible the opportunity is regarded upon. Perceived value, you know!
The result however is, that high ticket items, that are believed to be good and helpful, are out of range of many while at the same time the cheap solutions are put aside as being unbelievable or unrealistic.
Thus… nothing happens and that definitely is the wrong way to survive a recession!
You see, there were many people took me up on my offers and took action, happy to have another opportunity to make money online.
But many were complaining too. They just don’t believe they CAN make money using something as simple as, let’s say, flipping websites or private label content.
Or they tell me is that it’s a dangerous approach where you can lose a lot of money.
Or that it is too difficult or -the best one…- that you just can’t compete with the ‘big’ guys.
Whiners!
While all these objections may be (partly) correct, most of these comments come from people who don’t take action. It may very well be that they lack the confidence to take the required steps towards making money online and if you recognize that, read on, because below is a wonderful resource to get rid of that.
Then there’s something like due diligence. A big word for something as simple as….
… use your brain, use common sense.
Entrepreneurs take risks. Even if you only sell a simple Ebook, you’ll take the risk running into someone who buys and files a claim, thus skipping your ‘no questions asked’ money back guarantee.
Well… get over it and continue.
Investigate opportunities, try to estimate the risks and then determine at which point the strategy becomes too risky to continue and what your maximum loss at that point will be.
Decide whether or not to do it. If you don’t, take the next opportunity.
Taking a risk doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg. But if you’re not willing to spend $40 or $30 or even $10, then you will never get started.
One of the complaints I got from the flipping websites video was that you had to pay to auction your site at Sitepoint.com.
Huh? Ten bucks to sell a website is an obstacle?
Left me flabbergasted.
Yesterday I sent out a little note to my list to buy the Master Resell Rights to some great instruction videos on how to research products. MANY questions are asked about that topic on any marketing forum, because it’s the most important step to promote great products. So there’s a HUGE market for this. So huge that no one can fill it on their own.
Even if everyone reading this blog would buy them, you can easily sell the package to thousands of others looking for answers. It’s a cheap way to make at least some money online.
But it doesn’t even have to cost you money.
Visit the Warrior forum for instance. You’ll find many ideas and positive feedback there, like…
* My First $300 Day
* From 20% conversions to 94% overnight
* How to Tap 60+ millions of targeted responsive visitors
* Paul Myers – Thank you! My Goal is 2k in 2days!
* My Results After One Month of Intense Article Marketing
* I intend to make $10k in 7days
* I Have Paid off $60,000 in Debt Since May 2007
I’m NOT promoting any of these links above, they are just EXAMPLES. I found and quickly scanned them on the first page of the Warrior forum this morning. Haven’t really studied the whole threads.
And yes, people sometimes post …
-about topics that are completely chewed-up like a piece of meat,
-about results of thousands of dollars,
-about results or ideas of just 10 dollars,
-about a ‘Eureka’ factor that has been seen thousand times before.
Boring maybe, but these are joyful posts by ordinary people like you and me, who TOOK ACTION! And were very happy they did. That is the difference between whiners and earners.
Take the last link above. Posted by Amy Bass.
I don’t know Amy other than just reading her special offer in the WSO section of the Warrior forum. I did NOT buy that one, so I can not recommend it, but…
if you believe her story is true (and that’s something you have to find out yourself, due diligence, remember?), the she’s the one you should follow and, ultimately, buy her offer.
Again, no recommendation on my part since I’m not familiar with her product, but a great example.
So…. if you haven’t already, WHEN are you going to take action? It’s the best way to survive any recession and make money online all the time.
Here are two links that I DO encourage you to check out.

Just DO something to get over this recession.

One thing is for sure. If you don’t do anything, you’ll achieve nothing!
Thanks for the money saving punch in the face, well taken..
I completely agree – I’d also recommend just taking action. It’s amazing how once you do start doing stuff the opportunities really do open up… you often just have to take that first step and be persistent.
You are so right about the whiners and the ones that are all jacked up to get going but never do much but chase the next best thing then get discouraged so they start buying all the expensive programs out there and start the same process and wonder why…I hope that sites like this show them to just do something anything and be patient it will happen but you have to do some work and the opportunities will be there.
Success to all,
Darrin
Very interesting post, i didn’t know all this before, i can understand that people are scared to take action, but they shouldn’t whine about it. they have to experience it themselves.
Good luck and thank you for the tips.

I’m currently taking risks, and let me tell you the first couple of months are frustrating. Thank you for the heartening words. And thanks for the link to warrior forums… the posters seem to be quite knowledgable.
Hmm… Interesting. I like to call those people crabs. They always try to drag you down by saying things like how risky it is, how easy it is fail, how statistics say you won’t make it blah blah.
Let the crabs be crabs.
Great post, I have noticed this happens on lots of forums and blogs. People like yourself post great tips/tricks and methods to generate a nice income in your part time, and it seems like most people are quick to bash the idea, or make up excuses about why it does not work. You will NEVER find out if you don’t try it. I can hardly preach though because I myself have done this too many times, you just have to bite the bullet and start grinding away!
Yeah, I agree with Darlene Norris. If you just sit or lay down, you must prepare yourself to get owned. It takes a long time and great effort to be success
Hi,
We’re really feeling it in the UK. With us being such a small country in comparison to most we really get affected by the slightest of changes.
Obviously we’re doing what we can for our customers web design and SEO-wise but it’s still showing us that shoppers are not shopping the same as they used to online or offline. Though if there’s a bargain going it there still are buyers.

We’ve seen a lot of client need to reduce their Internet marketing budgets due to the recession.
Luckily, as a small agency, we’re in a position to offer the same quality as the larger firms, but at a very discounted rate.
I think this is happening in a lot of industries where the most productive business units or producers are spun off into their own companies where they can be more agile and cost-effective.
I agree with UpTrending. I believe that the current recession is going to cause change. That might not be a bad thing! People that are being laid off right now may very well go on and become consultants, start businesses of their own and finally realize many of their dreams. It takes courage and hard work, sure. Yes, those first few months (year or two) may be frustrating, but with hard work and dedication, we are able to make this recession work to our advantage!

Hi, bigthanks for your share. I agree with your opinion solution to face recessions. I always sure there is always the door in the risky difficulties economic world right now . Glad to join warrior too guys
The only way out of this recession is to think positive, be open to suggestions and if all else fails, save as much as possible.
Are there such opportunities as mentioned above in Malaysia?
Great Blog. In our family we’ve grown up to believe that with every obstacle or difficulty (ie. recession) lies exciting opportunities worth pursuing. It’s a reality that many products /services are created to overcome obstacles (too slow, too expensive, too big, too heavy) it’s often problems that lead to idea generation and new, more efficient ways of doing things.
An effective online marketing strategy has allowed many businesses small or large to continue to succeed during receeding economic conditions. The internet presents an opportunity during such times. For those who do not have an effective online presence this is a good time to start.
There Is No Instant Success
One thing is for sure. If you don’t do anything, you’ll achieve nothing!
Yes, indeed there is no instant success. No matter which field you are in, the real estate, network marketing, investment like in stocks, and even the internet itself, there is no shortcut to success. If you want to make more money, then you will have to pay for it. You will need to spend a lot of time and effort in your business. There is no instant success.
I am with you Case, Whiners!! The opportunities are still strong, I am still making money and the possibilities are still endless online.

I would agree that recession has hit every business around the world. For any business risk is always there. your opinion is truly effective. Great Blog
The last link is pretty good, my blog is what I’m doing online and since my hosting fees are the only costs. I don’t feel the recession although the advertisers did cut out a bit. Overall, Great Article!
