New Portal for Skin, Health & Beauty News Launched September 2011: SkinHealthBeauty

In 2008 while still a humble shop girl working a part-time job in retail, I began writing articles for various sites on the web to earn a 2nd income. It wasn't long before I also started blogging. 

Little did I know that my years working as a shop girl in the cosmetics department of a major national retail chain learning about different skin care and cosmetic products would lead to a skin care blog, a skin care column, a skin care business, and eventually, my own website about skin, health and beauty!

In September 2011, a new website launched to address skin care, health & beauty concerns and the special needs of aging skin. Appropriately named Skin, Health, Beauty, the new health, beauty and anti-aging skin care website contains articles, photos, videos, tips and information about keeping skin healthy and beautiful as well as aging, wellness, beauty and other related topics. The skincare and beauty website also carries product reviews, national skincare events and information about job opportunities in the skincare field.

Why You Should Consider Network Marketing for Extra Income in Today's Economy

This shop girl recently opened her own shop via a network marketing business because the unemployment rates were so high, I had few other options. Here are a few reasons I think everyone should take a 2nd look at network marketing during this economy.

In early 2011, The Tennessean carried an article called: "Out of work, some invest time, savings in franchises." This article focused on the problems a significant number of Americans are facing as they find themselves losing their jobs to cut-backs, layoffs, business closures, and outsourcing. The writer described the pros and cons of buying a franchise along with the following advice: “Jumping into business by buying a franchise doesn’t come without risks, though. Costs can run from $20,000 to several hundred thousand dollars to get started. And not all franchise parent companies offer their offspring the same level of marketing, back-office and sales support.” This is why a growing number of Americans are now taking a good, hard look at network marketing opportunities.
