Financial News - You Don't Have to Spend a Lot of Money to Make a Lot of Money

There is a belief that masses of people share that in order to make money you have to spend money-and a lot of it. While this may be true in many respects with the majority of endeavors, it is not true with all of them. As a matter of fact, there is something new brewing in the online world that can earn you a fortune, regardless of your financial position or current circumstances in life.

If you are like many people in the United States and around the world you probably often worry about what the future holds financially speaking. While no one can say for sure, there are some things you can start doing now to ensure that your financial future is much brighter than it is now.

Did you know that with the advent of social networking sites like YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and MySpace any individual, regardless of where on the planet he or she resides, can now market a product around the globe-and all from the comfort of one's own home or office? Why is this important, and how can YOU benefit from this knowledge?

This is important because up until just a few short years ago the only people who could afford to advertise and market their products nationally and globally were not individual people-they were companies. It costs millions of dollars to advertise on national television.

Businesses don't have to be solid structures of concrete, wood or brick any more-they can be without physical shape or form-they can be virtual world enterprises that exist in cyberspace, but nonetheless are as real as any that exist in your local neighborhood or town. If you have a cookie to sell, a counseling service to offer, information to provide, or any conceivable product that you can think of, you can now market that product online and reach an audience that heretofore was only the province of the major corporations. The playing field has leveled for the single individual with a product, a hope and a dream.

People usually think of financial news as updates to their stock portfolios. While this is a very important factor in many investors' lives (I am also a commodity trader), the financial news that I have to offer is simply an idea. But it is an idea that can grow if you will let it. People often have pre-conceived notions about how to make money. If an idea doesn't fit in with their beliefs it will automatically be rejected. In one way this can limit their ability to get out of the hole they are in financially, and to limit the use of the natural powers of creativity and imagination that would otherwise lead to solutions-and to more money.
