According to the National Bureau of Economic Research, the beginnings of the current economic recession can be traced back to December 2007. But few people, least of all the ones marketing on the Internet, were talking much about "recession" back then and even today many feel that they do not need to worry about the recession because the Internet continues to grow apace.

That has not stopped many people from looking back at the Great Depression of the mid 1930s and wondering, is it about to happen again? However, even if things do get that bad, the savviest Internet marketers will adopt Napoleon Hill's attitude and seek out the new opportunities that will inevitably grow out of a climate of economic retrenchment.

One of the most famous books to come out of the Depression was Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. Hill saw the depression as a great opportunity for ambitious self-starters to set aside the doom and gloom of others and take advantage of the new opportunity it gave people to start all over again.

If what he wrote was true in his day, then it will certainly be true that the current recession, coming as it does in an age of advanced communication technologies and the widespread access to the Internet, offers many new opportunities for people to thrive and prosper. This is especially true for people marketing on the Internet.

With more and more companies shedding jobs, many more people will be seeking new jobs and new ways to earn money, either in full time employment, part time employment, or by starting a business of some sort. Whatever it is that each individual wants to do, it is likely that he or she will begin searching for a solution on the Internet.

People will conduct job searches, or research training and study courses to learn new skills that will make them more attractive to potential employers. Others will want to learn how to earn money on the Internet doing jobs such as form filling, typing, online surveys and so on. Then there will be a lot of people who will want to find out how to start a business working at home marketing on the Internet, but as yet have no clue about how to do that.

Each scenario offers Internet marketers opportunities to respond by providing the products and services to help those people get to where they want to go. As I said, the Internet will be the first resource that many of these "new seekers" will turn to. So, if your website has the answers they are looking for, presented in such a way as to inspire their confidence in your services, and if you put in the virtual spadework to make sure your website is the one that those people stumble across, your business will certainly thrive throughout the recession and prosper when the good times come again.

So to answer the question that is in the title of this article, I believe that it does not matter whether we are in a recession or not. If people marketing on the Internet learn to respond to the current situation and offer what people are looking for, they will have no need to worry.
