Sell SEO from a homeless shelter!

Tags broke, dead stop, start from scratch
I started out flat broke, I mean living in a homeless shelter in the winter...
Zero cash, bumming cigs.
How did I manage to earn enough money to get back on my feet using nothing more than the set of skills I learned by being a member of the Warriors?
Here's where I lived in January 2008:

The only online tool I could use were FREE ones.
The one that worked for me in the past was Google™ Blogger blogs.
That was my starting point.
OK, now how to get people to listen to homeless guy who tested dirty and that test was a matter of public record?
Step One- get something to use as a resume
Offer to promote small businesses for free for the purpose of showing that I can do it!
First client: a weekly rate hotel in Frederick Maryland, which is where I was hoping move into to get me the hell out of the Cold Weather Shelter...
The hotel is more like a rooming house.
It's a decent place to live where you don't have to come up with deposit money, and couldn't pass a credit check if you wanted to.
Ok, now make them a blog and get that blog to rank in Google using ONLY free WEB2.0 tools.
Mission accomplished!
Now... get a part time week end job walking ponies (amusements/ petting zoo and such)
make them a blog, get that blog ranking in Google™
Step Two get paid
It seems the local cab company got bought by someone web savvy... he did his own SEO but really didn't have time to do it.
(btw I passed the drug test to drive a cab but my past arrest record made the authorities deny me a cab license)
I made my pitch... guy really didn't think I could pull it off... but I did seem to know the nomenclature... what would it cost him if I failed?
First Paying Gig: $100 cash
keyword phrase he wanted targeted:
Frederick airport transportation - Google Search
This guy (City Cab Company) has his site hosted on a local county wide portal:
Guy gives me a chance by editing his existing page and creating a sub page just for airport runs:
His existing page serp listing:
City Cab Co. - Premier Airport Taxi Service - Taxi / Airport Limo ... City Cab Co. is located in Frederick, MD. and Specializes as a Frederick County Taxi Cab Service, Washington County Airport Transportation Service, ...
City Cab Co. - Premier Airport Taxi Service - Taxi / Airport Limo Services in Frederick County - 21k - Cached - Similar pages
the one I made:

Swift Reliable Airport taxi service, fleet of 58 vehicles, over 100 drivers - 17k - Cached - Similar pages
Got this company SEVEN of the top ten listings!
this is getting to be a long post...
suffice it to say the Warriors Set Of Skills is so easy a crack head can do it!
And... if only I could monetize this blog - is there any way for us to sell Warriors memberships anymore?
