Hard Economic Times

They say we are headed into a depression. So it is now time to start thinking about making a little cash on the side. We have been reading all kinds of stories about how in the last depression during the 1920's and 1930's people took all kinds of odd jobs to put food on the table. They sold eggs, took in boarders, swept floors. You name it, where there was a buck to be made, people were in on the action. All of it was for measly wages. They earned a quarter, here, a penny there, and at the end of the week it all added up to that extra loaf of bread that got them through the hard times.

Fast forward to the 21st century, and things have changed. Or, have they? We are headed into hard economic times, but you do not see people really starting to get it in gear to get that extra money. Instead they seem intent on waiting for the government to bail them out. You can't get by on selling eggs and doing a lot of the things that worked in the last depression. But there are many new ways to make money in this day and age that are just waiting to be tapped. Will they be lost when the government does not come through?

I am pretty well off financially, and have a pretty stable job. I am not too concerned about loosing it or my salary through these tough economic times. I do have an interest in trying to make a little extra cash 21st century style using the Internet as my tool. I plan on monetizing a bunch of my blogs right here on blogspot centered around certain keywords. Let's see how much money we can make!
