Consumers are increasingly recognizing that the old retail models of merchandising are going away. More and more people are looking for ways to buy at a better price. The competition is increasing as many stores liquidate their assets. This is forcing the business community to respond in some impressive ways.
The most amazing response to the recession, that I have seen, is the Blastoff Network. Blastoff is combining several marketing strategies that will likely make their service successful. Not to mention they are providing all of their services free of charge to the end consumer. While Blastoff may only be “a voice in the crowd” at this point they are poised to become a force to be reckoned with in the business community.
The first attribute that will attract consumers will also prove viral because of their rewards system. Many people are doing all they can to scrimp and save so the 1-15% cash back offers from major online merchants will appeal to many. Not only can you save money by shopping through the member network, you make money when you refer friends. In these economic times this system consumers will respond by enrolling in droves and telling everyone they can about Blastoff. Considering again that membership is free members will happily spread the word without encouragement. During the Google test marketing Blastoff found that one in every four people that visited the site enrolled.
The second key feature is the instant consumer loyalty created through the membership structure. Memberships create organizations with incredible buying power allowing these organizations to build relationships in the business world that individual consumers can not find on their own. It is quite unlikely that Blastoff members will direct buy through these same internet merchants after being exposed to Blastoff membership. In addition those internet stores that offer discounts and cash back to the Blastoff Network will find increasing revenue as members choose merchants in the network versus their competition outside.
The third key benefit of the Blastoff network is the social networking aspect of the site. While Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace struggle to generate revenue with their business models Blastoff will actually utilize these very same Web 2.0 systems to do precisely that. The Blastoff Network will allow members to access updates from social networking sites conveniently from their home page and even import those contacts to spread the word about Blastoff. The beautiful and customizable home page also provides the latest music, videos, games, and news in convenient panels members can scroll through.
Blastoff is set to launch in phases over the next few weeks and has secured an exclusive partnership with Pre-Paid Legal Services. The beta phase will allow Pre-Paid Legal associates to enjoy access to most the features of the site. Phase 1 will allow these same associates a two week exclusive period to market the service, or invite friends, prior to the public launch (phase 2).

However we must not allow feelings of despair and the negatively focused media blind us to the incredible opportunities that surround us. Many gold mines have been unearthed during recessions and they are discovered by creating solutions to the challenges we all face.

Problem solving or challenge resolving, as I prefer to call it, have opened the doors of wealth to so many individuals. Businesses and individuals face challenges that virtually present in an enormous employment classified section.
What kind of service can you offer? No one should go without a job in this environment. We all offer some unique ways to assist others. We may simply need to adjust our idea of a job and perhaps remove the job mentality altogether.
We are better served by asking, how can I help others? Do you know anyone that could use help with anything? In fact if you search the Internet your certain to find something. Many times we limit ourselves by narrowing our focus to one type of job. You will discover that by exploring every category of job listings there are opportunities to help others in a wide variety of ways.
There are people looking for others to complete simple jobs like moving, small maintenance work, even cleaning. If you are unemployed you are in a great position to assist people like this. Not to mention you may make a connection that could lead that you to another full-time position. You may simply be looking for ways to make extra money in your spare time and these can present a viable option.
Many years ago a very successful gentlemen that me that it is important to create multiple streams of income. This man earns well over one million dollars a year and owns many productive companies. His companies include several locations of a free and tries business, I'm moving company, of video production company, and a few smaller side businesses. Although his income still far exceeds my own he instilled in me a sense of service and awareness of my eternal independence.
Today more people are becoming aware that they are always self employed. Whether you work from home or someone else provides you with a job you will be paid in proportion to the services you provide and the solutions you deliver. My experience is in marketing and my passion is for promoting great businesses that can help others in some way. Earning a living in a variety of ways by helping companies and individuals promote services and make money ensures that I will never be without a job.
These services include online money making and money saving opportunities promoting internet marketing companies, legal services, identity theft protection, a clean energy company, several others. You can even secret shop, take surveys, and read emails to generate additional income. In this day and age there are so many ways make money. You discover these by stepping out of your comfort zone and keeping an open mind. The best thing I have ever done was force myself into a position that forces me to seek different options aside from a regular paycheck.
