Nowadays, people are always griping about their jobs. They feel
unappreciated, unsure about their job security and obsolete. They
never know when they might be laid off and/or replaced. There are
oodles of workers who live in fear of getting booted out for simple
reasons like coming back from lunch late or having to stay home with
a sick child.

This has led to more and more people looking to sure up their incomes
in less conventional fashions. It has led many to start their own home
business, and the Internet is their platform of choice.
