Exactly Irene. Online has a lot to offer for people on a budget. With or without expertise, because as you mentioned you can learn almost everything online these days. Just be aware, of the “free” stuff you are going to get, they might be a lower quality. I think that WA is the exception when also for FREE or relatively small investment you get a huge value.

I wasn’t aware about the low unemployment rate just before the pandemic for the minor ethnic groups. But it makes sense as normally the job or financial markets are achieving peaks then it will fall. Unfortunately, this time was the fall more dramatic than ever. You are taking the right approach with building your online business. This form of business is shown to be one of the most “resistant”. I had an opportunity in period of last two years, to overtake a restaurant and a fitness centre. I am so glad I didn’t do it back then. I hope you’ll achieve your long term goals Glenn. Let me know if you would need a help along the way. Cheers.

Hi Keylee. I feel very sorry for you, that you lost your job. It is unfortunate that for such a long time you were working for the company and they “don’t need your services any more! ”
Was it because of the crisis? I mean I can imagine, that companies are going through rough times and of course not everyone can be self-employed. But I think everyone should search for some “side hustle” at least, to have something on their own. That way it is more probable to “stay working” in hard times too. If yo are searching for new opportunities , online is the right place.

Isn’t that ridiculous with the unemployment rate? But there’s nothing we can do when our employer said, “I’m sorry but we don’t need your service anymore”. I recently lost my job and I know how it feels. Was there for 10 years. It’s really great how you can help others with the opportunity you mentioned. I too am looking to find work in the online business as well. We have to start somewhere. Thank you for the post. From what I know Wealthy Affiliate is a good online platform to be in.
