My younger brother moved to N.O. at the beginning of 2005 and after Katrina, left for a few months while things were shut down. He found a job working at a restaurant he had worked at in college back in Indiana until his manager back in New Orleans called him back at the end of December BEGGING him to come back. He was working at the House of Blues as a bartender and they needed people to come back and provide service for all the construction and other guys rebuilding things down there. As soon as he could, he went back and started making BIG money.
Just this last year, he started a bakery and is doing fairly well, even though he is still working at the House of Blues while the business grows. He works pretty much 7 days a week but you can’t accuse him of being a slacker, LOL.
BTW, it’s my fault he moved there. We lived in Slidell when my husband was stationed over at Stennis. He came to visit us and fell in love with New Orleans and the whole gulf region. As my friend Donna (who lives in Pass Christian) puts it, anyone who is from north of I-10 is a Yankee, LOL.
I’m beginning to wonder how much money you could have already made if you’d gotten out from behind your computer and got to word, instead of entertaining yourself on this thread.
You don't seem to have a product developed yet.
First, remember that no matter what happens from here on in, YOU are the product you are selling. What are your benefits? Why should people hire you? Find YOUR selling points, and it will all fall into place.
Good luck!
