Press Release Summary: Recession is here. It could be a little dent or the beginning
of a depression. However, some segments are still thriving. Online businesses appear
to be one of them. With the Internet growing so rapidly, opportunities to make an
income or even a living online are plenty. It is to our benefit to stay abreast of
this trend.

Press Release Body: Why isn't everyone talking about it? Perhaps they are missing
the forest for the trees. Everyone knows the Internet but did you know that
home-based businesses on the Internet are one of the fastest growing employment
sectors in the US? Even during today's recession.
The U.S. Department of Labor reports that there are about 20 million work-at-home
businesses as of 2004 and that half of all Americans that work will be working in
part from home by 2025. Over 53% of small business owners operate some type of home
based business opportunity. And this number is growing. Money magazine recently
reported that between 10 and 15% of home-business owners make a gross revenue of
100K-500K. However, a majority of Americans and Europeans seem oblivious to this
growing trend and continue to consider a 9 to 5 job as the only option for earning
an income. According to Suzanne Morrison, owner of homebiz-direct.com, a website
that provides ideas for online entrepreneurs, "It is sad that our education system
lacks in entrepreneurial studies, especially regarding Internet based opportunities.
Our goal is to cover this gap."
There is no shortage of online business opportunities. From using software tools to
invest in Stocks and Forex, to selling on Ebay or putting up affiliate sites, there
are hundreds of ways to establish an online business presence. However, the process
of choosing your business idea can be a challenging one. And beware of the so-called
Internet Marketing gurus. There are way too many people making false claims about
knowing the secret to making money online.
Like any other brick and mortar business, work at home businesses do require a lot
of hard work, dedication and the ability to make the right business decisions.
However, the differentiator is that the initial investment required to get into an
online business could be as little as $100. With such a small risk, more and more
people are finding it worth a try.
A recent report by U.S. Social Security Board states that out of every 100
Americans, 85 of them reaching age 65 don\'t possess as much as $250 in savings. And
only 2% are self-sustaining. So basically 98% of Americans do not retire with enough
money to live the lifestyle they want and deserve live. Could an online business may
be the right solution for you to secure your financial future?
