Every day newspapers and TV tell us that companies are laying off folks or simply closing their door. Frightening. Stable companies that have to cut back or simply cannot afford to stay open for business.

And, much to everyone's dismay, the number seems to be climbing higher for unemployment. Of course, no one knows when this will improve. And the down side is it may not show any improvement for at least a year or more.

I, unfortunately are one of those people. After working for a nation wide company for 7 years I was told doors were closing mid October due to business and economic reasons. And there are many more out there like myself.

Due to this distressing situation, it makes perfect sense to start a home based business. Home Businesses are a 427 Billion Dollar a year industry. When I read that I could not believe it. This large number is mostly due to the internet.

Online businesses are open 24/7. Once setup, they keep running even when you are no at home. Take a vacation, go shopping, watch a movie, whatever and your business keeps running.

The benefits for working from home are endless. You take yourself out of the rat race scenario. Save your car from every day wear and tear. You choose your own hours There is no schedule when you have your own home business.

Your new home business can be run part-time. Keep your current job and work on it when you can fit it in.

Some home businesses require very little capital to get started. Again, that depends on what your new home business is. If it is an internet business, you already have your PC and internet connection, why not put them to work??

If you have been laid off, like me, you now finally have time to devote to really research and see what you want to do. There are so many opportunities for someone to consider. I have seen websites showing you how to do digital photography as a home business, setup a day care center, make gift baskets, and countless others. The sky's the limit for finding something you are passionate about and turning that passion into something profitable.

Your new home business does not have to be anything huge. Maybe you will become an affiliate for a vendor. Simply speaking, an affiliate sells someone else's products. There are many vendors you can become an affiliate for. Probably the largest is Clickbank.

E-Commerce is a really popular field. When you do a search just for the words "E-Commerce" you can see for yourself the unlimited opportunities that are available. When I did a search for "E-Commerce" I found a site where someone can sell their own items, like homemade clothing and build an online store. Again, the possibilities are endless.

Downloadable E-Books are very popular right now. These electronic books offer information in many categories. You can setup an online store where you sell Ebooks in many areas. How to remove adware, spyware from your computer. How to setup a website. How to earn multiple streams of income. How to earn money taking pictures with your digital camera. How to start an import-export business. Just to name a few of many possibilities.

One of the reasons E-Books are so popular is the buyer has access to the product immediately.

No one knows the future of the economy. When you have your own home business, you cannot get laid off!

You can turn your unexpected and unwanted layoff into something positive. You are free to explore and have fun finding a profitable way to make money. And NOT dependent on an employer.
