With the subprime debacle in mortgage lending in 2007 both business as well as consumers began to take note that something had to change.

The government got involved and pushed for help to be extended to those who may have already found themselves facing the potential of foreclosure.

Subprime hit at the heart of home and auto lending. These loans were generally infused with creative payment, interest amounts and terms. For many this was the deal that sounded too good to be true, but also seemed the only way to either get a car or buy a home.

At the end of 2007 more and more homes were for sale in a housing market that had fewer buyers with a significant amount of sellers.

For many of these individuals they came to the place where they recognized they could no longer afford the payments, but were also reluctant to leave their homes.

It was also during this time that some businesses faced a downturn and had to downsize their labor force. It all happened in a time when no one wanted to be without a home, a car or a job. In some cases men and women are overlooked for a new job because they either specialize in a certain field or are overqualified. In many cases these men and women care less about being overqualified than they do about providing for their family.

As with most stories there is a silver lining in this dark cloud.

For those still hanging on trying to make ends meet as well as those starting over and wondering how they can ever regain losses the Internet offers an environment that may hold the key to an effective opportunity to get back on their feet and move forward.

It often takes something drastic to shake us into action. What we might never have considered when gainfully employed we might be more interested when we have a what have I got to lose mentality. Even when we may think an idea is better suited for someone else we may give it a second look when all other options seem fruitless.

Owning a business online can be a catalyst for improving your future. Even if that means pursuing online business as a sideline while you work a traditional job the potential ecommerce can provide is residual income that may allow you to remain in your home or keep your car in the midst of uncertain times.

To participate in online business requires a certain amount of investment. There are some opportunities such as affiliate revenue or re-seller that requires an investment of time and some cash, but there are other opportunities that may require more investment of capital and development.

The good news is no matter what your financial outlook you can likely find a way to derive some income from an online business.

Perhaps youve heard someone say, When life hands you lemons, make lemonade. The truth is whenever there is a downturn in economic conditions there is a corresponding ability to find a way to make lemonade.

Online business may be just the lemonade you are looking for.
