With money being so tight lately, I’ve been looking online for new opportunities. I was thinking it would make sense to create an online business for things people need, they’ll stop buying the things they want before they’ll stop buying the things they need. But what can I offer?

One of the things I hadn’t really thought of was investing. Taking tips from Market Outbox I’ve been looking into investing into products people need and will continue to need for time to come. Not only that, assuming the economy will gain momentum again (as it always does) I want to look toward the future and put money into something that’s currently low, but sure to make it through this recession. Another idea is to invest in foreign trades, but personally I don’t feel right doing that because I think we need to keep as much of our money local as possible.

When cutting costs it’s important to remember that you want to try not to give up more quality than you have to. If you can get the same service for a cheaper price, such as satellite TV or webhosting, you’ll have to read reviews and decide if those lower costs mean less or nonexistant customer service and a lot more downtime. < lists some ways to cut costs while hopefully maintaining the level of service you’re used to. But beware, some of his recommendations may be biased based on payment or services he’s received in exchange.
