If you're trying to survive unemployment by creating your own job (starting a business), or even if you're just seriously considering the idea, this forum is for you.

Offer business ideas or ask for advice. I suppose you could even post help wanted ads here.

How about business ads?

For my own business, you mean?

Can you clarify your question? Are you saying I should advertise my business here? LOL. Marketing much?

"Survive Unemployment" isn't the kind of branding that pulls down the big cabbage. It certainly isn't how I position myself in the marketplace.

Congrats on your AdSense earnings. That's a lot more than I earned in my first month.

Hi Chuck!

Are we allowed to advertise our businesses here? That is what was asking.

Thanks, A

Within reason

I let people link to their sites as long as they're participating here, adding something to the discussion, and the site on the other end isn't some kind of scam.

I do remove flagrantly spammy posts, though.

Inspiration and opportunity...

Hello,

I understand removing spammy post. They are annoying, so you don't have post this one just read it then make a decision on whether or not it is suitable for your readers.

With unemployment benefits set to expire for some soon, this post is to let the unemployed know there are opportunities to earn income off their intellectual property from writing to photography.

Here is a sample: Authors write, win, and publish. Compete for $30,000 in self-publishing and promotional services prizes as Author Solutions, Inc., the San Francisco Writers Conference, and San Francisco University Partner for Inaugural.

Writing contest can turn the winner into an author with a published book…and provide a staff of book marketing professionals to help get the book get into bookstores and publicized. This new reality is combining a traditional writing contest with the advantages of indie publishing.

Writers can begin submitting entries for consideration immediately. The deadline for entries is January 5, 2011. The contest is open to all American-based writers who are invited to enter up to the first 5,000 words of an unpublished, finished manuscript, short story, essay or poem in the categories of: fiction, non-fiction/memoir...

This is just one of the many opportunities for the unemployed to bring income in from unconventional ways while job seeking. You can find more at www.digitafolio.com. Our objective is the same as yours--to provide inspiration and opportunity during this stressful period.

Thanks for reading my post.

help finding work

Hey anyone who cant find a job but needs money, i would recommend checking out www.localworkforme.com Its not a permanent job, but it is a good place to find some work locally. People post random jobs they need done like yard work, shoveling snow, moving furniture, or anything else they can think of. This is just a tip, but its a free service so its worth a try, there might be some work in your city.
