Consistently High Unemployment Results in Surge in Alternative Jobs

    BRADLEY, IL, February 03, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Although unemployment trends have been slowly inching downward in recent months, US Bureau of Labor and Statistics reports estimate that as many as 13.1 million people remain out of the workforce. Of these millions of people, the department estimates:

"The number of long-term unemployed (those jobless for 27 weeks or more) was little changed at 5.6 million and accounted for 42.5 percent of the unemployed."

With stagnant economic growth predicted to continue into the future and many traditional job opportunities vanishing from the US labor market, an increasingly large number of people are turning to alternative jobs to make a living.

Successful blogger and Internet marketer, Pawel Reszka, shares some of these unique opportunities in a recent article on his site AffHelper.com, titled, "Top 10 Ways to Make Money Online." In the article, Pawel shares his reflections on the best ways to make money online, based on his extensive experience within the industry. Some of the different methods he covers include:

Building Content Websites - Popular tech website TechCrunch sold to AOL for a cool $20 million, demonstrating the tremendous power of selling informational content online. However, this business model isn't right for everyone. In his article, Pawel explains what makes content marketing lucrative, as well as what you need to know to get started.

Publishing Kindle Ebooks - With smartphone and eReader device penetration at an all-time high, developing mobile content for the Kindle network represents a great business opportunity for those with strong writing skills. On his site, Pawel details the process for developing winning ebook topics and seeing a digital content project through from conception to launch.

Freelancing Online - Depending on the professional qualifications you hold, taking on freelance work through a variety of online portals can be a great way to make money online. Whether you're a writer, computer programmer, accountant or administrative assistant, Pawel's tips can help you get your feet wet in the world of online employment.

Beyond these three examples, the article offers practical tips on how to sell products online for cash, build affiliate marketing websites and even use popular web video sites to earn extra income. Unfortunately, though, these alternative job opportunities aren't a good fit for everyone. According to Pawel:

"There is no magic formula that could turn someone into a success story overnight. Even though someone might experience a breakthrough point that could catapult them to a millionaire status, it usually takes a lot of work prior to that."

However, those who are willing to work hard and put in the necessary effort to succeed may find that these Internet-based business opportunities represent an exciting alternative to traditional employment.
