Recession Proof Income: Online Entrepreneurs Raking in Hundreds (Sometimes Thousands) of Dollars a Day

November 19, 2009

I market this site in several ways. One way that I use off and on (and will start to use a lot more) is free press releases. It’s something you can do too — for your freelance writing business, ebooks you write, affiliate products you promote, etc.

I’m going to talk more about this in Monday’s upcoming post, How to Effectively Market Your Freelance Writing Business Using Free Press Releases. Following is the press release I uploaded to PRLog.com, a free press release site, today (you can access it on PRLog from the hyperlink).

Inkwell Editorial Press Release

PRLog (Press Release) – Nov 19, 2009 – As the economy continues to shed jobs, unemployment continues to spike and many job seekers frantically search for their next job, many online entrepreneurs are merrily looking forward to the holidays – confident that their income is secure.

Online entrepreneurs (aka webpreneurs) are a diverse niche. They run the gamut from freelance writers, to social media consultants to information sellers (infopreneurs). What they all seem to have in common is a zest for entrepreneurship and a love of “making money under their own steam,” as Yuwanda Black, a freelance writer and self-described webpreneur states.

Ms. Black explains:

I worked in publishing for years, parlayed that into a successful freelance writing career in 1993 and now teach others the joy of this type of entrepreneurship. I love what I do because I can do it from anywhere (and I travel a lot), without worrying about how I’m going to pay my bills.

Another common trait many online entrepreneurs seem to have in common is boundless energy and diverse businesses. Many have two or three different businesses going at the same time. Some are spinoffs off each other, while others are complete and separate entities.

Ms. Black explained that many online entrepreneurs do this to ward against what many laid-off workers are experiencing right now – a loss of income. She adds that by doing a few different things, when one is not working out or going so well, you still have another “gig” as she puts it.   

This type of thinking may be the wave of the future for the American workforce. As many know, getting a job and staying there until you retire is a thing of the past. Americans have to start thinking of themselves as entrepreneurs, even if they have a traditional job.

As Ms. Black sums up:

This kind of thinking [entrepreneurship] will keep you on your toes because you’ll always have something going on on the side; so, if you’re laid off it’s not the end of the world, but really an opportunity.

Spoken like a true entrepreneur!
