      How about focusing on building a real business that helps people solve their problems instead of using shady tactics to earn money.

      I am not sure why you are wondering why nothing works... look at most of the things you have done.

      As mentioned above, get a job until you can figure out a real business model that works for you...

      It's not easy BECAUSE it takes a lot of work, more than using or creating a "bot".

      Often takes years.

      Arclite,

      Nothing you have done so far resembles starting a real business.

      You have jumped around from one bad technique to another in an effort to create some income.

      There are lots of threads on this forum about how to make money online. Find a thread from a legitimate Warrior that has walked the walk, then follow along and work at it until you have success. Pick whatever interests you but make sure it is doable. You'll know that it is if it requires work on your part and if you see others successfully doing it too.

        Agreed!

        Arclite, all of the situations you've described so far are basically bad "get rich quick" methods that really don't exist.

        If you truly want to start a business of your own, online or offline, you need to put down the real work into it. Trust me on this one, starting a business of your own takes time, devotion, patience and persistence.

        Take me for example:

        For the last month I've been working on a potential new business of mine and you know how far I've gotten?

        I'm just about to complete the research and business structures needed (market research, practical issues, budgets, business idea etc.)

        But that's what it takes. If you find an industry, market or niche you want to start a business in, and you have an idea that might just work, then you need to really work for it.

        I work roughly 200 hours per month during my daytime jobs (2 of them) and then I spend 2-3 hours each evening and night working on the business. That's what it takes in most cases!

            Sell your Photoshop services on Fiverr? There are literally tons of people wanting help with Photoshop there, and it's a good place to start gaining some experience with customers and making a few extra bucks.

            I made roughly $1000 writing articles within my first 2 months there, but it's not a long-term solution, too much work for such little pay.

            I wrote roughly 350000 words for $1000 which isn't really worth that amount of time.

            But it's a good place to start!

                Alright, I don't want to come across as a A-Hole but here's my 2 cents.

                The Warrior Forum is here for people to come hangout, learn some new stuff, interact with others and etc, not a place for asking for Handouts.

                You have gotten great advice from many people here so far. Advice on things that you can to do to start earning money in a short amount of time, doing the things that you like to do and what you are good at.

                Is it a short term solution, like you getting money tomorrow....no, but things that will allow you to make money in a couple of weeks.

                You have a skill set that many people don't have....put it to use.

                What I would suggest doing is improving your Fiverr gig and profile. Look at other sellers that are offering the same service as you, that have more than 10 reviews and make your gigs and profile look similiar to theirs.

                Don't just copy them, but make your look "like" theirs.

                Also, I don't know if you are able to do this or not, but get your gigs listed on www.fiverr.com, I see you gig is listed at http://nl.fiverr.com.

                I searched for you on fiverr.com from USA and your gig does not show up. I'm guessing that most of your business will come from the USA.

                Next, find a way to create a new personal Facebook account.

                After you get your new Facebook account setup, using your real name, real profile picture and other information, add your website to your about section in your profile.

                Next, search for some Internet Marketing, Affiliate Marketing, Youtube Marketing, Facebook Marketing Groups and join a bunch of them.

                Introduce yourself after you get approved to the group, tell them who you are, what you do and offer to answer any questions people might have about logo designs and include a link to your website.

                Comment, like and share some posts in the group for a couple of days before offering any type of service to anyone.

                Then create a post with an image of a logo, telling people that for the Christmas Holiday you will do a high quality logo design with unlimited revisions for $5. Put a link to your website for anyone that is interested.

                Allow people to pay you via Paypal.

    Photoshop is extremely popular & has loyal followers like apple.com buyers.

    Build a Photoshop tutorial site, get targeted traffic, sell something related.

      Agreed!

      Millions of people are looking for photoshop tutorials and how to guides.. One of my friends started a very simple blog five or six years ago on how to work with Microsoft Excel .. It was kind of a "dummies guide to Excel" and I can tell you she made a ton of money from selling guides and ebooks online AND offline.. The possibilities are endless when you think about it... Another friend started a "learn to play piano site" a few years ago and made millions from it over the years.. If your good at something, I mean really good, make sure to get paid for your knowledge..

      Absolutely right! you already have some great skills dear, you can even start with freelancing to make some real money to invest in your marketing campaigns. Try to start with a platform like, Elance. Upwork or People Per Hour

    Focus on your strengths. Your strength is design. Why not keep it simple? Register an account at UpWork, freelancer.com etc. and offer design work there. When you made some money you can set up your own website and start a web design service for your local area or do something else in the design industry. That will bring you more fun than doing things just for money and is much more likely to work out well financially.

      He already did that and got nothing.

      @the OP - what does your fiverr ad look like? Your ads probably need a rework to stand out.

      99% of the time, that's all any promotion is for a newbie - a work in progress it until you get responses.

      Even the veterans have to re-work, and they've got their own personal formulas down to a science.

    Too many things you're doing are shady and piss-ant.

    If you're good at graphics, set up a portfolio site showcasing what you can do (or at least get some designs done and ready), then start by coming here and offering a great deal on a design package.

    People have different tastes, so you're designs should appeal to some of them.

    Have you taken a look at the "Warriors for Hire" section of this forum? That sounds like a great place for you to begin turning things around for yourself.

    E-whoring... LMFAO!!!

    Just when I thought to have heard em all... Too f..cking funny dude!

    Just a thought here...

    Write down every program, tool, software, paid service or paid product you either use or 'WANT' to use to build your business.

    For example:

    ° GoDaddy (domains)
    ° NameCheap (domains)
    ° WireTree Hosting (hosting servers)
    ° Hostgator (hosting severs)
    ° Abobe Photoshop (software)
    ° Adobe MasterSuite Collection (software)
    ° AWeber (autoresponder service)
    ° ActiveCampaign (autoresponder & crm)
    ° InfusionSoft (aoutoresponder & crm)
    ° Ontraport (autoresponder & crm)
    ° GoToMeeting ( webinar service/software)
    ° EverWebinar (automated webinars+++)
    ° GetResponse (autoresonder)
    ° JVNotifyPro (affiliate network)
    ° JVzoo (affiliate network)
    ° ClickBank (affiliate network)
    ° LinkShare (affiliate network)
    ° MarketHealth (affiliate/cpa network)
    ° AutoresponderMadness (Andre Chaperon)
    ° EmailAlchemy (Daniel Levis)
    ° YouTube Training (James Wedmore)
    ° BlogTemplates (Ryan Deiss)
    ° EzineArticles - Article Template pack
    ° Frank Kern - Mass Commissions
    ° FaceBook Training - Suri sumfin (edit soon)
    ° Max Rylski - graphic bundles & psd's
    ° OptimizePress 2.sumfin (WP Theme)
    ° LeadPages (landing/squeeze pages)
    ° BrickandMobile (Mobile apps/softwares)
    ° AdvertiseToMillions (advertising)

    Ok, I could literally say there is 10's of 1000's of opportunities just buried within the above example... As many of that which I personally purchased, own, used, or hope to purchase soon is included in the above list... (*some I just threw in to add gravity)

    And, I didn't even come close to draining the teet of my boob fetish! (little homaphobic humor there!)

    Case in point, what the hell are ya doing E-whoring? (unless you want to collect pics of...)

    When you could be driving hordes of people through a 'squeeze page' and generate sales as yourself, a chick, a tranny, or even posing as a complete gender-chameleon like Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner... (as underground affiliate!)

    Just promoting one or more of the above, (if done properly) should get some cash flowing fer ya!

    Unfortunately, it takes a lil' sum-sum called effort.

    E-whoring... Incredibull

    Don't give up! I also like you when I was a newbie, but after years of trying I finally making 60k-70k per month. Once you give up, all your efforts is gone. Learn from your mistakes!

    Why your Facebook account got blocked? because you added too many unknown friends, or you spammed your friends on news feed and people report you? Learn the mistake and don't do it again.

    URL shorterners you need to be smarter, shorten URLs that many people will click on for example a sexy girl with cleavage revealed, I got a lot of clicks for this. But, I don't do URL shorteners nowadays as I am really focused on PPC, affiliate marketing. Those 2 are really making big passive income that I rely on.

    bit coin mining, sorry never tried before.

    Selling randomly scraped emails don't get you rich instantly. Who wants to get a random email list that is not targeted/ A scrapped email list won't convert well.

    E-whoring, this is a big market, you done it wrongly I guess, I make several hundreds of dollars. Given up on it because too sick of porn.

    Twitter, because your traffic is not targeted! 50,000 random people? They are nor interested on your products. Let me ask you a question, there are many traffic exchange and buying traffic sites around. You are telling me that just by buying 50,000 you will make a lot of money. That's impossible. Try harder.

    Youtube, you must have done something wrong. What is your video about? Porn video leads to porn site? Or not related videos?

    You are doing too much things! I would recommend you to start from one website and focus on it until you make 2k-4k. From there, you can consider to start more websites but not more than 10 websites. Remember focus is the key to success. Just focus on 1 website at the start, and then from there scale up. Try out Google adsense, affiliate marketing like Clickbank all those.

    Write down your mistakes and make sure you learn from it and don't make the same mistakes again. Internet marketing is about learning and keep learning and review yourself and keep trying and focusing, and patience you will find success.

        If you're passionate about photo editing than reach out to some photographers and do their editing.

        Set up a site, connect with them on Twitter, and go after it. Sell yourself on your site though. Provide samples of your work on your website and do some outreach.

        How? Follow them on Twitter and engage with them. Join their newsletters and comment on their posts. Get to know them and maybe, just maybe, they'll want to get to know you!

        Forget scrapping emails and BS moves to get ahead. You're only hurting yourself.

        Good luck my friend.

          People have different tastes, so you're designs should appeal to some of them.

          Have you taken a look at the "Warriors for Hire" section of this forum? That sounds like a great place for you to begin turning things around for yourself.
          well i did post my portfolio url but it didnt show it i gues: www (.) graphicstudios(.) nl
          I havent seen the "Warriors for Hire" section yet i thought cost money but if it is for free that would really be a great place to start , because i got $0,00 and i can use dollar even if someone find a job for me and only pays me 50% or less i will take it

          Why your Facebook account got blocked? because you added too many unknown friends, or you spammed your friends on news feed and people report you? Learn the mistake and don't do it again.

          URL shorterners you need to be smarter, shorten URLs that many people will click on for example a sexy girl with cleavage revealed, I got a lot of clicks for this. But, I don't do URL shorteners nowadays as I am really focused on PPC, affiliate marketing. Those 2 are really making big passive income that I rely on.

          bit coin mining, sorry never tried before.

          Selling randomly scraped emails don't get you rich instantly. Who wants to get a random email list that is not targeted/ A scrapped email list won't convert well.

          E-whoring, this is a big market, you done it wrongly I guess, I make several hundreds of dollars. Given up on it because too sick of porn.

          Twitter, because your traffic is not targeted! 50,000 random people? They are nor interested on your products. Let me ask you a question, there are many traffic exchange and buying traffic sites around. You are telling me that just by buying 50,000 you will make a lot of money. That's impossible. Try harder.

          Youtube, you must have done something wrong. What is your video about? Porn video leads to porn site? Or not related videos?

          You are doing too much things! I would recommend you to start from one website and focus on it until you make 2k-4k. From there, you can consider to start more websites but not more than 10 websites. Remember focus is the key to success. Just focus on 1 website at the start, and then from there scale up. Try out Google adsense, affiliate marketing like Clickbank all those.

          Write down your mistakes and make sure you learn from it and don't make the same mistakes again. Internet marketing is about learning and keep learning and review yourself and keep trying and focusing, and patience you will find success.

          60k-70k a month is my dream im trying internet marketing for 3 years i started when i was 20 years now and im getting older and money keeps getting a bigger issue for me

          i dont know why my facebook got blocked i worked for a few month to get 4k friends i didnt add anybody i only shared a few post ( but not extreme) didnt even got a warning, and its gone..

          could you learn me how to e-whore? i can at least make few buks i mean every dollars counts,i am reallly interested in what you are all saying , can you contact me : joesoef_9@hotmail.com

          OK brah, WTF is an E-whore? How do you do it right? How do you do it wrong? How did you make 4k doing it? Does it not work as good now because you're 4 years older and became less pretty? Are the younger e-whores stealing all your thunder?

          I'm no prude but I draw the line if it's going to involve me having to wear a dress and a wig? Although beggars can't be choosers and nobody is going to give me an award for turning down this amazing opportunity. In your WSO will you drill down into the details on which lipstick to use and how to apply make up correctly?

          Is there dancing involved cos I've definitely got moves! Will I need a female stage name? I'm thinking Tallulah is a pretty kick ass e-skeet name? What do you think? And if I have to use a high pitched lady voice, no problem, I do that regularly on Teamspeak in my World of Warcraft RP guild, my night elf female recently got married to a very nice gnome warrior outside Stormwind, it was a lovely affair.

          And for all you self righteous types, back off! sometimes in life you've got to HO-down before you can BRO-down. You get me! Nice.

    Every method you used involves trying to scam your way to making money.

    Have you ever tried creating a real product of some sort and selling it to a real audience? Or even just advertising someone else's product for an affiliate commission?

    Plenty of people have made money with something simple like this:

    1. Pick a product on Clickbank that sells and has decent commissions.

    2. Make Youtube videos in that niche.

    3. Sell the affiliate product via the Youtube videos' link to the product page.

    Okay, been reading through the thread here, and I agree with all the above. You have focused your efforts on shady stuff. Now you say you know Photoshop very well, MAN....I would love to be good with Photoshop. Thing is, most people are not, so by offering a course or coaching etc. on how to use Photoshop could be a thing to consider. Warriors For Hire section is a place to start......offer some free review copies to people and get your thread filled with good reviews and a nice portfolio...and I'm sure you'll get customers.

    As for your urgent need of money, I don't think internet marketing is the way to go for that. I would get a job so that you have money for food and other living expenses, then do the online stuff along with that. Just my 5 cents...

      i agree a 100% that i need a partime job besides my eduction but dont forget that it is hard on my age + not having a diploma jet, so design is my only solution but there isnt much work about 300 of the companys that i contact , liked my portfolio and would like to hire me but they dont have work enough

        There's your key word: "enough"!

        This is the start of what's called "negotiation".

        OK, so they don't need you for 40 hours/week, or 20, or 10.

        How about one hour? It doesn't even need to be a weekly commitment. Just one hour, period. They need a sign, a menu, an advertisement... they need something! Do it for free, if you need to! No obligation, "just pay me whatever you feel it's worth!"

        Now rinse and repeat... ten times, fifty times... whatever it takes!

        I'll say it again, more clearly: If someone likes what you do, but can't hire you right now, that simply means that you are asking for too much... too much time, too much commitment, too much money, (or perhaps not), but too much something. Identify what that something is, and negotiate from there!

          that is exaclty what i said in my application, the thing is they dont have enough work to hire some, that means for them that they dont even have work enough for them self so they are not interested in working with me, just like i said i would be happy with 10$ or 5$ (im not asking for $100)they wont even take that

            Who is "they"? I'm talking about going up and down the street of your local community and talking to the business owners directly. You show various ads in your portfolio, so those should be enough to get the local grocer, the local pizza shop, whatever, to remember that s/he has to put that ad campaign together for the big January/February event in your town.

    First understand that your mindset matters, your experience comes next. Change your Mindset. You've got some good reading / listening on amazon. I'm having similar times. I've made closer to $65K starting like you and then also loosing similar figures, back to thinking what to do next.

    One simple difference is i'm exploring opportunities with my previous postive results, find your postive results and build on them. I can share one of mine with you in pm just for a lift up.

  • Yup! You spent a lot of time trying to use shady techniques to "game" the system rather than create a real business on solid footing. I used to focus on things like that too and it never works in the end. Even if you happen to have some success doing it, it never lasts. If you have no money, then the first reply was correct: you will need to get a real job somewhere. Flip burgers if you have to. Then get involved with a real business model online. I personally like online advertising, which is a half-trillion dollar industry, so have been focused on that market.

    1) Change your sig. Doesn't make sense for you right now

    2) Learn how to market your services... in fact, start over and learn how to market ANYTHING successfully online

    3) Do you have an email list? I know you said "Facebook", but that's not more effective than your own personal email list via autoresponder

    4) Have you considered changing niches and selling something else?

    I got some good tips but it is still hard if you have nothing to invest and if you need money as soon as possible, so i hop i can find business partner here that is good at finding clients and selling ,
    in the list bellow I will show what I can do.

    Design:
    I amgood at photoshop, 3d animation, video- editing, web-design
    my portfolio: www (.) graphicstudios (.) nl

    scrapping emails:
    I can scrappe a large amount of emails I am talking about 100.000 targeted emails al tested with a special bot that I made


    creating bot:
    I am really good at scripting creating automatic bots, I created a twitter bot that creats twitter account really fast and follows other users and deletes the unfollowers ( just everything you need to have when it comes to twitter)

    I created a addmefast bot so it will automaticly add points to your account

    and there are lots of other bots that i have created , these bots are great sellers but if you have no investment its almost Unpossible so thats why i need a partner. and remember i can create any thing you want so if you have a good idea contact me.

    my contact info is on my website (footer of the page, under contact)

    Here's something you can do right now which might help ~~> Fix your signature. It has an extra forward slash at the end of your URL tag which breaks it. Once you've done that try offering some helpful photoshop tips or contributing some of your knowledge to the forum. Who knows, someone might even click your link as a way of saying thanks for the info.

    There's only even been one way to make money and that's to add value. People will always pay for help if they need it and you're there (or in their minds) when they need it.

    You need fast cash to pay your bills. I suggest you to go to fiverr but with more "new look" or offer something that stand out from the crowd.

    Build some blogs with rich content about your expertise, real case or your journey so you can get more friends, buyer and sales.

    Keep in touch with them in the future with building your list to share more about your new update, products and services.

    Right now focus for your fast cash first so the rests will be easier.

    Thank you for posting such an interesting question, that generated some really awesome replies.
    If I may, I'd like to suggest that it's time for you to engage a mentor. There are mentors in all fields and in all niches. The right mentor will point you in the right direction, tell you what to do, and show you how to do it. I struggled on my own for years, but now, at last, I'm making progress. Keep smiling!

      From your list of failed endeavors it seems you have taken the black hat route to riches. Looks like you've tried every dodgy idea in the book.

      I probably don't have to tell you how that works out.

      You have to look at crating a real honest business or offer online. Any other route is almost always destined to disaster.

      I took a look at your fiverr gig that you linked to.

      TBH I wouldn't have purchased from you had I been looking.
      A few things I noticed.
      1.No profile picture.
      2. Your title is design a log but your gig description offer multiple services.
      3. Your gig description is very weak

      i.e we are convinced that we can accomplish any job
      we create the best designs for a fair price

      Your gig title needs to convince me to read the description. I decide in two seconds or move on.

      Your gig description needs to convince me to take your offer or at least bookmark you. You have 15 seconds to convince me before I move on.

      I read title for logo and then find half the text in your description is about other products that I have no interest in.

      This is really a micro sales letter you need to hammer home the offer and have a call to action.

      Think about it. No one knows how good your work is until they buy it. You have to convince them to do that. Even though it's only a fiver. There are a 1000 Photoshop experts competing against you. Especially if you are new you need a unique selling point. That is often a lot of work offered for that fiver.


      Finally, The worst time to try and make money online is when you need it. If you really need money look for a job. If there are none in your chosen field (photoshop) do something else that at least pays your rent. Whether that be McDonalds, pizza delivery or road sweeper. Get your bill's paid first. Work on your Gigs in your spare time.

      Sorry another final thing. Your signature is still broken

    What many people are failing to see is that the OP doesn't have the resources you have. He can't go get a job. Perhaps jobs are scares in his location. Fiverr hasn't worked for him. UpWork is filled with competition. Most people are just giving canned responses.

    His money situation has caused him to try many gimicky solutions because he needs to eat today. A lot of people take for granted that they can just go to a local agency and find a job quickly. That's not the case everywhere in the world people.

    He lacks resources.

    Is there a quick solution to his problem? Depends. Internet marketing requires skill, and a bit of luck. The key here that this is a marketing problem. Because the OP definately has some sort of skill.

    So how is he going to market his skill?

    Dear OPster, your signature is ugly. Fix it. The very least you can do is have a nice, persuasive signature. 2nd? Your landing page on your website is not good enough. Fix it.

    When someone lands on your page they have to see that you are offering a service. Show an extremely low price of $5, or $10 for your beautifully crafted designs, and someone who is interested is more likely to purchase from you. How do they know you are selling something if you don't even state it. I don't even remember seeing a way to contact you on your website.

    Now that you have a nice landing page/sales letter start helping people in the forum. Give people a hand. Share your techniques. Become the Photoshop expert on the forum. Build a reputation. This is marketing. This will drive traffic to your landing page. Which will turn into sales so you can eat.

    Eventually move to Warrior for Hire ads on the forum. Paid marketing is much faster. And fill it with testimonials so people can trust you and a hard to resist price.

    Give away your services as well to build some nice testimonials and a nice reputation. Stop acting out of desperation. And start working smart and hard. Eventually your prices will be able to rise. But start learning some sort of targeted marketing. Whether it is forum marketing, blog marketing, social media marketing, article marketing, YouTube marketing, SEO etc but remember to do it right because it is your reputation on the line.

    Once you get into paid marketing your prices can rise and your leverage grows. I know your stomach is empty, and perhaps opportunity seems vague. But let me tell you, opportunity is all around you. Work smart and hard today or you better get offline and do something else. Timeline? Hard to say. Depends how hungry you are.

    Best wishes,
    Badassmarketer

      Give away your services as well to build some nice testimonials and a nice reputation. Stop acting out of desperation. And start working smart and hard. Eventually your prices will be able to rise. But start learning some sort of targeted marketing. Whether it is forum marketing, blog marketing, social media marketing, article marketing, YouTube marketing, SEO etc but remember to do it right because it is your reputation on the line.

      Once you get into paid marketing your prices can rise and your leverage grows. I know your stomach is empty, and perhaps opportunity seems vague. But let me tell you, opportunity is all around you. Work smart and hard today or you better get offline and do something else. Timeline? Hard to say. Depends how hungry you are.

      Best wishes,

      I am sooo agreeing with this. Most people probably don't realize that opportunities in United States are not quite the same as with people living in some parts of the world. In the country where I live, hard is extremely difficult. You cannot get a damn well paying job without a degree, and manual work pay less. I don't blame people for not doing much of what's required to get this whole IM dream happen, because it takes EXTREME hard work. MASSIVE hard work, even a bit of luck and intelligence. And a lot of people just don't have that, even if they think they face some shitty salespage that promises them the world, or even $5000 a month in just 30 days... It just doesn't happen to a lot of us. And people tend to underestimate hard work, too. In my life I heard a lot of people brag they can do this or that at work, but when they have to do the actual dirty work, they end up quitting.

      Some people just overestimate themselves, but underestimate what lies ahead.

    If you are good with graphics then you should go for 2 niches:
    logos
    social media graphics (e.g. at the moment I have added a YouTube channel to the mix but needing to get a good graphic for my brand across each social media platform is beyond me. I am sure you would get people to pay for a full set of graphics with a good branding.)

    NEXT: Head for the main Craigslist site and sign up. Then paste in the individual URLs of each state and click through to the related job listings.

    THEN: Do a search for "logo" "graphic design" "graphics" etc.

    NEXT: Save that search as an email alert (whether there is a result in it that day or not)

    THEN: Repeat for every. single. city.

    FINALLY: Watch your inbox fill up with available work within 15 minutes of every job being posted.

    APPLY. APPLY. APPLY. then APPLY some more till you get regular work and a good pportfolio.

    Here's an additional thing:

    Often writers and graphics people can help each other cos companies are looking for a full package. I set up a group for writers and graphics freelancers to network for that purpose. There's only 3 of us in it so far but I hope to see it help more people out: https://www.facebook.com/groups/FreelancePartnerships/

    And I have been studying hard to add web sales copy to my freelance portfolio so if you ever need good copy to be written for your site I'll trade you for graphics for my social channels :-)

    Fix your signature...The BBcodes seems to be incorect.

    Re design work. We are in the same line of business. I know sometimes it takes time to get a full diary of work but you need to keep working at it. There is a lot of competition out there but if you keep concentrating on your best skill, I am sure you can make a living from your work.

    What I can tell you is that 99,9% of "get money quickly method" is a waste of time, because most of them don't work, or it doesn't worth the work you put on them because they are very unstable / saturated.

    What things do you like? What things are you good at? Most likely the answer to those questions is your niche. Then with work and perseverance try to offer something that help people in that niche

    It all works. Stick to just one thing and take your time and screw up and learn and develop the experience for that particular network and traffic source and you won't have to worry about traffic or making money again. Of course to make money converting that traffic is the second part to the equation.
