welcome to the board. Sorry to hear about you losing your job.

For what it's worth, let me know if you'd be interested in reselling poker chips. Poker has increased in popularity and my Canadian dollar rates may attract you.

Contact me if interested.

Apologies for the previous reply, put it down to finger trouble. Sorry to hear about your predicament but this happened to me a couple of years ago and the only way to get through it, especially if you dont benefit from a comfortable cash payout is to retain a positive attitude - this is your lucky break - time to work for yourself etc etc.

A potential revenue earner is to investigate the concept of affiliation programs - reselling someone elses product for which your receive a commission.

This wont necessarily replace a lost salary but it will help to supplement it, and if you strike paydirt will provide you with a comfortable lifestyle. Most affiliation programs are free and this is the route I used when my company told me I was superfluous to requirements.

Have a look at this link http://affiliatemarketing.sitesell.com/311257.html and if you feel comfortable then take their free training course and see where the adventure leads.
