What To Do When Out Of A Job

June 27, 2008 • Filed in: Work and Productivity

There are two basic things I told my friends who lost work recently:

Get another job quickly -They lost a job but received quite a hefty amount of money (separation pay). If you get another job quickly, it would just seem like they received an instant bonus. Heck, with their work skills, they can find work easy. They are Internet marketers!
Be an entrepreneur/freelancer - Since they are internet marketers, there is a BIG opportunity for them to actually start using the skills for their own money-making ventures.

Here’s one tip I can immediately tell those would-be entrepreneurs. You can earn a whole lot from Adsense simply by blogging about a very niche but popular topic or creating a very specialized site using ready-made scripts. Some inspirational thoughts:

My office mate earns $15-20 per day simply by targeting a very niche but high-demand keyword. I’ve seen his Google numbers. They were quite impressive. $15-20 equals to almost Php 600 - 800 or almost Php 20,000 per month. That’s already the average salary of a junior clerk or a call center agent.

Eligio, a fellow SEO enthusiast and internet marketer earns at least $50 a day. Just last week I saw him twit about getting $60 in one day. In pesos, $50 a day translates to at least Php 60,000. He uses game scripts, adds Adsense and optimizes the websites.

Not bad eh? I can’t tell you the exact websites they use. I’m sure they’d prefer to keep it to themselves.

The catch?

It really does take a while to build up momentum for a website. My estimate? Around 2-3 months. It would be faster if you use Pay Per Click and advertising but SEO is cheaper.

The other thing is that one has to be mentally psyched to do this. A would be entrepreneur must have the courage and patience to stick it out. A healthy, optimistic attitude also helps.

Hey, it’s not the end of the world when you lose a job. It’s just the beginning of another adventure.
