Worldwide the workforce is changing. Artificial Intelligence, Globalization and here in the USA changes in tax laws, efforts to establish National right to work and to eliminate the minimum wage are all things that as a futurist trying to anticipate future trends in the workplace, I have to watch closely. I help people plan their careers to take advantage of trends in their workplace.

The days of one or two jobs during you working life are gone. Today, a job will last a couple of years. On the job training is rare and the creative generalist is most in demand. On the job training is rare and in many jobs an employee is a commodity that can be replaced at will. You are responsible to maintain and augment your skills so you can remain employable.

If you are 50 and have been unemployed for a year your chances of getting a long term job are close to zero. You are competing with much younger, skilled people who will be paid much less.

That is why I think everyone needs a side gig they can fall back on when there primary source of income fails them. We need to brand ourselves as someone with unique skills.

We are all here at WA because we see an opportunity to create a good income through affiliate marketing. There are many ways to create income using the internet. You can get a commission for selling other peoples products. You can teach classes. You can sell your own products. The list of potential sources of income are only limited by our imagination.

We have to face the fact that internet marketing has matured. The day when you could create a theme or a plugin a make good money with it are gone. Today, even if you have the best and most unique plugin in the world launching that product with take time and outstanding marketing. There are many great themes and plugins you will be competing with. You will be competing with established brands who have hundreds of thousands of loyal follower.

I'm not saying it is to late to build a great internet income. I am saying we are going to have to be outstanding marketers working in a niche where we can stand out as a leader. If you want to learn more about the future of internet marketing read the article that inspired me to write this. https://poststatus.com/wordpre...

One thing I'm sure of, what I have learned here at WA will help me stand out in anything I choose to do.

I think the knowledge we gain here helps set us apart. We not only have fantastic training, but we're we're not out here on our own struggling with issues that arise. The way I see it, we have a leg up on the competition.

This is some interesting information. To add to that, look at how our dollar soon won't exist. Bitcoin is kicking hard.

Being over 60 and unemployed for several years, puts a lot of pressure to succeed online. It has almost become the only option to earn income. So thankful for WA and all the giving members.
