7 Upcoming Fields of Opportunity in 2009/2010
I just read an article on Yahoo Hot Jobs about 7 lucrative jobs resulting from Obama's Stimulus Plan. Sounds
like a great opportunity to start a business in these growing fields. Don't you think? (1) Solar Panel
Installer was one that I kindof expected, but (2) Insulation Installer and (3) Civil Engineer weren't as
obvious - and of course fit closely into similar areas. And (4) Cost Estimators will also be needed to figure
out the costs of all of these upcoming projects. Makes sense.
(5) Physical Therapy Assistants was also mentioned - due to the extension of meedical benefits to those laid
off in the recent economic downturn. (6) Computer Security Specialists is the highest paying job market out of
the seven, and there's an increase in this field due to the digitizing of medical records.
The most interesting job growth market I saw was (7) Loan Officers. What? Are you kidding? No! Federal
incentives are being provided to banks who re-negotiate loans with borrowers, so more people can stay in their
homes. With the huge amount of refi's expected - loan officers are needed.
There are smart entrepreneurs who will profit from these opportunity fields. Are you one of them?
Get Paid Up Front as a Freelance Writer
If you want to get paid to work at home, but don't necessarily want to start your own company, learn to
write!
Freelance writers are becoming more and more in demand, as websites want to offer more online content to
optimize their sites, and they just don't have the time to write all the content themselves. A organization
called Content Current will pay you up front to write for them. They are like a "content
database" online, to which you can contribute as a writer.
This freelance opportunity gives you the freedom to work for yourself, yet at the same time, you enjoy the
freedom of not having to run an entire business.

How to Make Your Purchases Without Cash
Any time you cut business expenses, you have the opportunity to increase your returns.
This "formula" can apply when you're first launching your start-up, or in your company's day-to-day business
operations. Most smart businesses are on constant lookout for ways they can run their businesses more
efficiently, which often comes down to cutting costs.
In today's struggling and unpredictable economic market, it makes even more sense to watch one's pocketbook.
This is probably why bartering is becoming so popular. In fact, lots of barter exchange websites like
BizXchange have popped up to assist "barterers" find the products or services
they need, and then easily transact the exchange.

Out-of-the-Box Business Card Ideas
Here are some far out, "out-of-the-box" ideas for business cards. At first, you may think they couldn't even
qualify as "business cards", but look again.
They deliver the contact and company information across to the recipient much like a traditional business
card, but in a much more effective and memorable way. Many business cards are likely to be tossed into the
trash, but these - I don't think so.

How to Start a Bookkeeping Company
Looking for some home-based work that
you can start pretty quickly? You can start a bookkeeping business right from your home. You also don't
need to invest a lot of money in equipment or supplies when you start your bookkeeping business.
Computers have made keeping books so much easier and faster. Documents and other financial data can also be
kept online for easier access to both bookkeepers and accountants who share the information. This makes for a
very convenient and efficient home-based business.

Home Business of the Month: Senior Travel Business
Even if travel isn't on your agenda, baby boomers are making senior travel a booming business. And this
doesn't just mean cruises.
If you want to start your own senior
travel business, first decide on a "niche" of senior travel that interests you and specialize in that,
rather than trying to provide an all-in-one solution. You will have less competition and have an easier
time attracting clientele. You will also have a better chance of building a repeat customer base with
customers who enjoy a specific type of vacation.
