How to file for unemployment

First things first. Here is a quick overview about filing for unemployment benefits. Many unemployed workers fail to apply for unemployment insurance due to paperwork fear. While it is true that it is a complex process, many state unemployment offices have now simplified the process. Here is the 3 step process -

  1. Check unemployment benefits eligibility to make sure you qualify for the benefits
  2. Understand unemployment insurance program and estimate your unemployment benefits
  3. Using our detailed guide, file for unemployment

Insufficient Unemployment Benefits?

Unemployment benefits are not meant to replace your income. Instead it only covers your basic living expenses, because the Government wants you you to find a job soon. The obvious next step would be to find a source of stable income. You can look for traditional employment based sources and find a job, but in turbulent times, you do not find the job that fits you. Employers are finding cheap labor abroad and many traditional jobs are being eliminated. You need to be in the constant lookout for jobs and keep learning new vocational skills.

What is the alternative, you ask. There are some. There are new avenues to make money. You should not expect them to provide you full time time employment from day one. You should start slow and earn part-time income from those sources and gradually improve the business. Here is a short list of such opportunities. We will publish more articles about this topic soon.

  1. Work at home – Buy home based franchises,  paid surveys, rebate processor etc.
  2. Freelancing work – write content for blogs,  for article sites and for Internet Marketers.
  3. Affiliate Marketing – connect buyers and sellers using sites such as CJ.com, and urefer.com
  4. Make Money on eBay, Amazon stores etc.
  5. Build websites and earn money through advertisements.  Build websites in a specific niche area, market them online and throw Google Adsense to earn a decent repeat income.

We will provide more details in the coming days.  In the meantime,  here  are few quick links to help you make money online.
