Cannot find a Job? Try putting your skills to use online!
The greatest challenge facing Jamaicans other than crime is possibly Job creation.
Internet gurus have emphasized the need to find jobs online and using the internet to start a business. In recent years, many persons have put their skills to use and started online businesses. Starting a web-based business is easier than a physical start up. You simply have to develop your own unique idea and get working in on it.
Starting your own business does not exempt you from hard work and anyone who has done it will tell you that it is nothing but hardwork. If you are looking for a quick fix- then an online business might not be the one for you. Yes many have failed because they do not have the patience or commitment but in the failures of others, you might find your grand opportunity. Do what they failed to do and go where they never ventured. Your gold might be an inch away, keep digging.
Others who have gone the route of entrepreneurship often set up a physical business hoping to make enough money by outdoing the competition. Some have failed because the market is small and too many small business owners try to milk profits from a small geographical area. Entrepreneurial pursuits will create jobs and aid in stimulating the economy.
People want to make money but very few want to work. Entrepreneurs work the hardest and anything that is worth getting never comes easy. Some people murmur about the fees that internet gurus charge. You do not have to pay the fee. You can Google and learn. There is nothing that they teach you in these lesson plans that you cannot learn on your own online. Here are some sure fire ways that young people who spend so much time on Facebook can use to earn money on the internet.
