Pier 1 Imports Closing Stores
I came across an instant interesting article that I wanted to share with everyone that just had me thinking. The article read pier one imports closing all Canadian stores as it files for bankruptcy protection.
It really took me a back because they were closing 450 stores which really meant that a lot of people are going to be unemployed. One of the things that caught my attention is that it said that with the increased competition from budget friendly online retailers like Wayfair, their sales has really suffered.
Two things really came to mind:
- Affiliate marketing will be huge in the years ahead then maybe most of us think.
- The ability to close down a lot of established businesses which in this case has been around since I think the 60's means online marketing is here to stay in a powerful way.
The Opportunity in Wealthy Affiliate
Just like that, even though I'm sure they must have had some warning, there will be quite a few individuals that will now be unemployed because their income was dependent on someone else.
Here at Wealthy Affiliate, whether you work it part time, or full time, it's an asset that belongs to you. You can establish your own online business, in an interest of your choice, in a way that will definitley be the wave of the future as more retailers turn to online marketing and operate in the comfort of your own home or wherever you choose.
For as little as $49 dollars per month, or $359 per year (less than a $1 per day) you can learn the ins and outs of building an online business.
The best part being, that unlike other online courses and ventures, you can sign up for free without the need for a credit card and get the first 10 lessons for free. In addition to that, you're able to tour and explore the whole system to see if it's something for you.
It truly is an amazing system and training ground. If you haven't already signed up, I would encourage you to check it out to see what everyone here is so blessed to be apart of.
For those I've already met with and conversed with here its always a pleasure and I appreciate the time and assistance when needed.
I know the post was a bit of a rambling session but I had to share it as it had me thinking about those individuals who will have to update their resumes and job hunt again due to the closures.
Thanks goes out to Kyle, Carson, Jay for the awesome and detailed trainings and amazing opportunity.

The craziest thing that I think about is the fact that I'm 33 and have never set foot in a pier 1 imports store. They've had one at the mall in my hometown for as long as I can remember. I just never felt the urge to walk in. XD
It’s funny you say that. I’ve never been in one either. I just happened to be checking the weather when I came across the article which had me thinking.

I thought Pier One was done years ago! Anyway a nice tie-in to WA, and you are very correct with your assessments, my friend!
Ya it really just had me thinking of the benefits of WA. Regardless of what is going on outside or with employment, this is something that you control and take in any direction that you choose.
Even if you have it as a part time gig of sorts or part time business to supplement your income.
Thanks, Sean! We CAN control how we do here in WA!
