Affiliate Marketing Secrets

Republicans controlled the entire govt for 6 years and created a disaster which they blame on Obama.
Between Jan 20, 2001-2009…under Bush’s policies of deregulation, lax regulation enforcement, corporate welfare and a 15% tax rate on stock profits for wealthy people:
Gasoline tripled from 1.44 to 4.11 per gallon (peaked July 2008)
Unemployment skyrocketed 80% from 4.2% to 7.6%…8.2% Obama’s first full month
Dow Jones stock market plunged 25% from 10,587 to 7,949
Budget went from a 236 billion surplus to a 1.3 TRILLION deficit (a 1.5 trillion drop)
National debt doubled from 5.7 trillion to 10.6 trillion (a 4.9 trillion increase)
Borrowed 2.5 trillion for tax cuts for mostly wealthy people
Borrowed a trillion dollars for two fake wars (all hijackers were from saudi arabia)
Borrowed a trillion dollars for Medicare part D which outlawed govt bulk discounts
Trillions in secret Federal Reserve loans to prop up wall street
Economy losing 700,000 jobs monthly – unemployment rate growing 1% every 6 weeks
Economy in total freefall
This is called “common sense conservative government”
Obama inherited a total disaster and it will not be fixed overnight

Owning my own business has been one of two things that I have wanted to do with my life (the other has been having a family which I’m still working on as well.) but would this be a good time to open one? I have some ideas, but the economy in this country seems to be terrible at the moment, with businesses going belly up, people losing their jobs, homes etc. In my mind I keep thinking that if I open the right business and things get going I could help provide a solution to the problem and maybe create some jobs, putting some good people back to work in the process and helping to get the economy back on track.
I do have some experience if you can call it that working with various online and offline network and affiliate marketing companies. But at the end of the day I was merely a self employed, commission salesman/sales manager. Many of these companies have even started to go belly up which is why I am exploring other options at the moment.

In the case of possible redundancy in the near future (If it’s your sole source of income) and the job market and global economy heading for potential disaster what possible risk mitigation strategy can be used to not only survive, but potentially overcome the financial consequences of a downturn? esp since lending is becoming increasingly difficult.
I was thinking possibly investing in relatively secure markets? But as a complete noob don’t really know which ones would provide generous risk free returns. Any ideas?
What about establishing your own business in a niche market? Is that feasible?

Many so-called experts predicted that the recession would end in 2008-2009.
Today, Its no secret that the economy is sluggish except for the stock market. Could you imagine if republicans were still in power? They would have an even longer recession.
The way to get out is to get money in peoples pockets. Increasing jobs seems reasonable but there are other ways. Our poor need help and education and there a lot of teachers and case workers that can be employed out of our colleges.

Okay,
So it would be best if someone who is like a head-hunter, or an HR scout to answer this… I’m basically going to tell everyone my theory, and then ask if this is correct. If it’s not, please cite what you think IS the correct theory.
Here goes…
Every dang job out there now, whether it’s posted on monster, craigslist, in the local newspaper, etc… all state that they want no less than 2-5 years experience. Okay… now every job field is different. But, what in the heck is really going on? Is there some secret club where all the “cool kids” get to find jobs, and everybody else is just stuck on the outside looking in?
I’m not even looking for a job anymore… I said F it, I’m living with family, and starting my own business. If this fails, I’m going to do something I said I never would that could get me in some trouble, but who gives a crap. I need to eat, and because I can’t just live on the land (property taxes), and I don’t have the capital to buy land, I’m left with no choice but to become a Robin Hood of sorts.
So, here’s my observations of what’s going on… I’m 30 years old, and the only people my age that I know who are successful are friends who got into banking before the economy started to slightly descend back in 2004-2005. Everyone I know who was in before that time is doing fine. Some in the 6 figure range. Then there are friends of mine who worked tables and worked in their field part-time (had a graphic designer buddy who did this). Every other person I know who’s doing well is either in a family owned business or is in health care. No one else has yet “made it” — well, except for teachers, and that’s kind of a joke – no offense to any teachers, but it’s not really part of the “economy” — sort of like the military (I was in the military, so don’t anyone rip my head off).
The babyboomers, except those who were in certain markets, and certain areas of finance, real estate, and businesses that sold/rented merchandise that are considered marginal spending (video/dvd rental stores, etc, furniture) seem to be doing okay. Seem to be doing okay I said… and even some of them are NOT doing well. I know a few.
But all the jobs I see out there have this strange demand that everyone have 2-5 years experience. My theory is that what is REALLY going on is, the babyboomers are all just swapping jobs. The employers know this, and so they can just demand that any candidates they interview have 2-5 years of experience. I don’t personally have any technical skills such as I.T., engineering, or process operations, but when I was looking for a job – before I gave up and started the business – I kept noticing that all these fields such as IT, engineering, oil/gas refineries… anywhere I thought a person could earn a good salary basically… and it seemed not a one of them had any kind of ‘trainee’ program available. Even Valero Corporation’s operator trainee position prefers a person to have experience in the field.
So, what else is there to assume? Have these companies all become so danged inefficient at training people? Are they that incompetent that they can’t take a person with a good work history and teach them job duties and operations of their equipment? I DEFINITELY have an incredibly good work history… I’ve never called in sick even one time in my entire work history.
I really do feel bad for all these people… and sadly, the babyboomers (our parents) kind of have their heads up their orifices about this, and they don’t see what’s shortly coming on the horizon if people don’t wake up and start choking some politicians to take the power of the purse out of centralized control of private enterprise bankers at the Federal Reserve, and start coining and printing TRUE national money again WITHOUT usury [interest, for you non-Bible readers 😉 ].
Because if our government doesn’t get their heads out of their orifices too, this country is going to be ripe for a pretty dang violent and bloody revolution. If you can’t see that coming, it’s only because your bank account and belly are too full.
But all that aside… do you all think that could be what’s happening? Is it just that the babyboomers are literally swapping jobs?
