Hey Guy’s and Gal’s,

I know that this post is a little off the beaten path, but I just had to say a few words about a recent article I got in my inbox from the New York Times. It states:

The unemployment rate rose in August for the first time in four months as weak hiring by private employers wasn’t enough to keep pace with a large increase in the number of people looking for work.

The Labor Department says companies added a net total 67,000 new jobs last month, down from July’s upwardly revised total of 107,000.

Overall, the economy lost 54,000 jobs as 114,000 temporary census positions came to an end. State and local governments shed 10,000 positions. The jobless rate rose to 9.6 percent from 9.5 percent in July.

And you can read the full story here.

Do You Have a Plan B?

Now, knowing all of this, what are you doing to keep your business afloat in this downtrodden economy? Are you increasing your marketing efforts, are you spending more on advertising, or are you just going with the flow?

Many website owners especially those in the service industry like mine, have to take an active approach to marketing in order to keep the money comming in. And I’m sure that you do too.

But I’d like to know what you are doing.

What keeps your business thriving?
Think about it for a bit and then let me know by posting a comment below. I’d love to hear from my subscribers and readers are up to these days.

Have a wonderful day.
