Apparently the unemployment rate will remain high, which is why more people are looking on the internet how to replace lost his job. If this is your case or just need extra money I recommend you try to start a home business. Here are five really good ideas on how this could be done.

1. Direct sales. Companies like Avon, Amway, Tupperware and Mary Kay continue to offer a good way to make a business with a very small initial capital.

These companies make billions of dollars a year through the direct sales model. They also include network marketing in their strategies to enable people to make money.

2. Affiliate marketing. With this business model affiliates can earn money by selling products created by others by commission.

You’ve probably heard of Amazon.com. They are the largest online retailer in the world. Other good affiliate networks to join are: Google Ad sense, Click bank and Commission Junction.

3. E-mail marketing. Despite the power of social networks like Facebook and Twitter people still use their email regularly.

This is a great way to earn money from the comfort of your own home. The key knows how to create mailing lists on specific market niches and then sell those products to your subscribers.

4. Consulting. Do you know how to do something you can teach others to do?

For example, you know how to finish a basement? You can turn this into a consulting firm, where people pay when you teach him how to do a particular task.

Work on the Internet gives us the opportunity to work with millions of people around the world. They could start working on the Internet from various levels of investment of money and / or time.

Give an example (from Wikipedia):

Founded in 1995 by Craig New mark. In 1999, Craigslist expanded to 9 cities, 2000 and reached across the United States in 2006, coverage had about 310 cities around the world. Their only source of income is through the collection of classified ads for employment in select cities ($ 75 per ad for the Bay Area of ​​San Francisco, $ 25 per ad for New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Seattle, Washington, DC and listings of real estate agencies in New York ($ 10 per ad)).

Receives about 20 billion page views per month, taking over 10 million new classified ads each month, Craigslist is the service’s number one classified ads in any media. Although the company does not disclose financial information, the press has speculated that its annual revenues have grown from $ 10 million in 2004 to 150 million in 2007.

The exploits of small advances work begun on the Internet are many, and we can see that growth continues. Testimonials works continue to appear on the Internet that are initiated to achieve true wealth. Other large numbers we have at Google, with more than 20 000 employees a turnover of almost 24 billion dollars last year. We also have Twitter with 175 employees, even without a profit for their work, investors are betting on good returns and continues to receive venture capital.

Thus, the ranking that divides the annual billings for the number of employees was as follows:

1. Craigslist: more than three million 330 thousand U.S. dollars for each employee.

2. Google: it reaches only one third the leader of the list, with one million 190 thousand per worker. In this case we must consider that the number of employees is much greater (20 mil).

3. Amazon: U.S. company e-commerce was just under Google, with a million 10 000 per worker.

4. Facebook: the online community failed to pass the million-dollar barrier, leaving the not inconsiderable sum of $ 920,000.

5. eBay: The auction site for the product over the Internet, one of the pioneers in this type of transaction, it reached $ 530,000, according to data released by 37 Signals.

6. Yahoo!: amounted to $ 460,000 per employee.

7. Twitter: the virtual community appears below its main competitor, Facebook, with 142 000 $ 857 for each worker.

Is the Euro zone must regain their health through a stronger European integration to transfer money to poorer countries or must rather be oriented towards a debt restructuring, starting in Greece?

That is in essence the dilemma presented by a senior official of the euro area to a group of European ministers, other officials and businesspersons gathered at an informal breakfast at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davis.

If Europe hesitates between these two options, “time is running out” by certain leaders of the Old Continent did not reveal his identity, despite the relative calm markets show few days ago.

The first, advocated by the so-called peripheral countries, major stakeholders, such as Greece, Portugal and Spain, is clearly rejected by Germany, the main provider of funds in Europe.

Berlin proposes instead respect the rules and conditions their support to drastic measures for fiscal consolidation.

As for the second alternative, many economists, who estimate that some euro zone countries, starting with Greece, have no choice because of its huge debt, advocate a debt restructuring.

This issue remains a taboo in Europe and all the rumors and press reports evoke this possibility is rejected immediately.
“This would cause a horrible trauma,” judged on Friday a senior European official. The Greek Prime Minister Georges Papandreou again rejected this alternative on Friday in Davis.

“We’re not heading toward a restructuring. We have a very clear path, a road map out of our debt problem,” said Papandreou.
Greece, recalled his first minister, has done what was necessary through a grueling set and now has the solidarity of its members.

“It is not only in Greece, even including solidarity. This concerns the conditions for stability” in Europe, said on this issue a top European.
Meanwhile, solidarity is organized around the Financial Stabilization Fund, established in 2010 and will become a permanent instrument in 2013.

However, not at this point there is consensus, as some European officials privately recommended doubling the amount and others resist.
The fund is now endowed than 440,000 million euros in loan guarantees. The Economic Affairs Commissioner, Olli Rein, confirmed on Friday in an interview with the Wall Street Journal that the borrowing capacity will be increased, but did not refer to the amount.
