Please help, I'm desperate!

You might want to look into virtual assistant positions.

You can also look into elance or getafreelancer.

Is your wordpress blog self hosted? If so, you may want to put together a list of services you can offer on it, and add a link to that page in your signature here.

Orion7,

How much time do you have before you are cut off from everything? The "drop dead" date so to speak?

That gives us an idea of what you could accomplish in the time you have available.

Becoming a VA (virtual assistant) might be an option but it's not quick money. if that's something you're interested, the best industry forum I've found is at virtualassistantforums.com.

The freelance sites mentioned are also good.

Can you get a roommate? Do you have stuff you can sell? Can you rent out your entire house to cover your bills and then move somewhere cheap?

Are you comfortable writing?

Perhaps creating an article WSO could be an option to earn some money in the "Warriors For Hire" section.

Selling any stuff you don't need on eBay could be another option, great to de-clutter your life as well as bring in some extra dollars.

Creating simple sites with templates and a digital product, BUM marketing traffic and links to it and then flipping it might be another idea. You can flip it here in the web sites for sale section.

I think a paying roommate is a great idea to replace the deadbeat ex.

Can you do offer other services like tutoring math?, English? French?, parents will pay good money for their kids to do well in school. Put up an ad in your local grocery store and library noticeboards.

How about a foreign exchange billet? When I worked for the government a woman in her 50's, poor thing had no income, she wasn't eligible for a pension and she had just lost her elderly father who was the sole source of her income. She cared for him in his last days and when he died, she had no more money because the allowance she received for caring for her father ceased upon his passing.

I convinced her to take in some foreign exchange students from Korea, she made some excellent money, got some much needed company and her billets loved their overseas experience. Something worth considering.

Check it out.

Something is wrong. It used to be when someone with few posts asks for help they would be blasted out the door. This rash of kindness something new ?


Results not typical. The average new poster can expect 7 blasts, 2 smart remarks, and 1 offer of help.

I definitely would be interested in doing a joint venture with someone. Maybe that would help you out.

Okay Orion girl, I won't give you a handout, but I'll try to give you a hand. First, you've got to stop the bleeding. Get rid of the boyfriend first. Find a roommate to share expenses.

PM me with your name and email address and I'll get you access to my membership site for free--no opt-in, no cost, no B.S. It will help you with your Squidoo lens and other blogs and a whole lot more.

If you want me to look at your lens, give me the URL and I'll give you some advice if you want.

You've got to get tough as nails. Think outside the box and identify your strengths and find a way to use them to get some immediate income. Sometimes being in a situation like you're in forces one to do things different and in the end life gets much better. Believe in yourself!

If you have a good grasp of the English language (you do), and can put finger to keyboard (you can), write articles. Some people will pay $10 an article that can get accepted into EzineArticles. Even if you can only produce 3 an hour at $6 a piece, wouldn't it be worth it?

Just advertise here on this forum. Also, keep posting and include a link in your signature for the service. Build up some regular clients.

As a virtual assistant, you would be competing against millions of people in third-world countries that will work for $3 an hour or LESS. If you're native tounge is English, you've got an advantage when it comes to writing articles.

Best of luck!

I agree, everybody has a story.. don't cry just try... you will surely realise it. And as seriousmny said.. I am touched too.. WF is a great place. When you are in need everyone here will help you. But it's your responsibility then to help others who are in same condition like you.
Best of luck Orion, I will suggest continue with what you are doing, you will see results. overall it's 3rd law of Newton-- every action has equal and opposite reaction. You work, you will see results.

I'd like to point you to this thread by Peter Adamson:

http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...9F0hJmkXMT6Fm8

It's fairly easy to do. So, if you don't have a lot of work you can do this process in a single day.

why didn't you continue doing the bum marketing?Or you can try to do some submission jobs like either directory submission or the article submissions.

Hi Orion Girl,

Whats your article writing like? Theres an abundence of work for peple with a good grasp of English that can write with good solid grammar. It will also help you if you can churn out quality. If you know SEO and can specialise in SEO articles then this could be something you could start making money from straightaway.

Good luck!

Oh actually, you could write a set of articles like an article pack and sell this off, thats an idea!

Orion, You have gotten a good number of help so please implement them and SUCCEED.

Hi Orion7, hi fellow warriors,

I had no intension to make any posts in this thread, if it wasn't for the ones form Scott Ames and designfuschion... I will quote the latter:

in order for you to .

You said that you've been studying Internet Marketing for 2 years now, but you registered as a user in this forum only in March, this year (assuming that you have never used another nickname / account here)...

After two years, you have "a wordpress blog in the IM area, but ... on hold for the moment" and an "almost finished a Squidoo Lens, looks pretty good, but still working on it".

On top of all, you claim to be "obsessed with the idea of succeeding online with (your) business."

I am sorry to have to say, but it seems you are not, which means that you most probable DO NOT actually believe in what you are doing.

You should have taken action - and even fail for a couple of times by now, because there are less chances to start something from scratch and get the winning ticket from your first call. No, I do not want YOU to fail and I do not wish you to fail, but let's face it, similar things happened with all actual gurus from the scene. But what they did in order to get their black belt 7 dan in IM, was to learn from their mistakes, correct them and go forward.

So, on a long term, start believing in what you (should) do and finish what you started.

On the short term, especially with your financial issues, some ideas vehiculated here, with all respect to the contributors, are a dead end in your particular case.

Elance: as I knew it - but this could also have changed meanwhile - you will need to PAY a considerable amount of money just to register. Anyway, just registering there will not help because you have no "reputation" and so, I do not believe that you can easily get a project there. The same apply to oDesk (lack of reputation) but there you will also compete with all guys and gals from Far East, where they will gladly work for less the 3US$ per hour... And at last but not the least, in both Elance and oDesk, you will get paid AFTER completing the job, considering that you did a good one.

I agree with article writing and bookmarking (you can say MANUAL bookmarking, over a period of time, which is less spammy and avoids Google's radar). In addition, you can subscribe the Angela's link building service, especially because the first pack is free - and offer your service for MANUAL link building.

As an outside the box idea, find automation tools that offer a trial, but first get acquainted with the best practices regarding their usage, read the free documentation and when you consider to be ready, offer THAT kind of service for a fee. Once you get your first customer, take the trial and here you go. As an idea, take a look to SENuke, the upcoming EVO2, and so on, BUT please be sure you NOT ONLY know what you are doing BUT ALSO which are the best practices, otherwise you risk this thing to blow in your face!

About the automation topic only: you shall consider also another forum, because I think that WF is not really the "correct" one to start with such "automation" services. Far away from me to be disrespectful when I make this statement or the mentions of the following names and brands: WF is alike a Lexus, while digitalpoint is alike a Ford, so you would better go for the small and cheaper fish when and if you just start doing it... You will definitely get more money on WF, but the level of expectation is much higher, so unless you "master" what you are doing, don't try it here.

On the other hand, article writing would be OK for both forums.

The nice thing with what I suggested here is that you MAY get money in advance, especially with bookmarking and link building, which are processes that TAKE TIME.

Anyway, whatever you chose to do, be sure that you understood in full how that particular things work.

I wish you a lot of success!

Try to think outside the box a little.

Go read this article I wrote entitled

"A Quick, Easy $2000 in Your Pocket by the Weekend!"

http://ezinearticles.com/?A-Quick,-Easy-$2,000-in-Your-Pocket-by-the-Weekend&id=1423937

In situations like yours you need to not only come up with the idea but also take massive and immediate action.

Roy, it seems that the actual "land of all possibilities" is Cyprus, which is good for you...! Unfortunately, in other areas the advertising is subject to strict regulations, fees and approvals from the local authority, which the closest one would be the district hall or even the city hall... Whoever would like to try it in his local area, should first check the local laws and regulations for such activities.

I'm in agreement with a few others, who suggested that you start with becoming an article writer. Also, Adeel & Bobby have alot of neat things to offer you on the warrior forum, that would really help you out in the PLR or MLR. Can't hurt to ck out!
Best of Luck...

Orion7

You said you have twenty years of computer experience and data entry.
You also said you have mastery of word, excel spreadsheets, etc.

Maybe you can create a package of sets of articles where you
present your twenty years of knowledge and experience
in an easily digestible series of articles to help those who
haven't learned those skills yet.

You may decide to look for free keyword software
to see what phrases and questions are being
searched the most by people online as pertains
to your area of expertise with the twenty years experience
and then make those your article titles.

That way, you know your articles are answering
questions people are looking for and solving
problems people are experiencing.

At that point, you can sell the private label rights
to those packs of articles for $x and sell some
as a warrior special offer.

Make it an insane low price so people who
need the content will be inclined to get it
and you'll have created your first wso.

There are no guarantees people will
want those articles/content, but you'll
never know until you try and with
the number of people who need content
and shop for wso's, if you do your best
to create quality, there's a good chance
you'll sell a few packs.

I'm not guaranteeing this will work for you
or work everytime or anything, but
a lot of people got their start doing
just that.

Hope this helps somewhat in your time
of need.

Orion, you are on the right path.
You do the internet marketing and hanging around with smart people like warrior forum.
My advice is keep digging the information just do and you will see the horizon.

Wasn't this thread posted like um 2 and a half weeks ago??????? hhhmmm.

always concentrate on 1 ONE! project at a time
- but not several!
You may think: I'll do several projects at once
& if one doesn't work - then another will work just fine
-NO! that's wrong
because IF YOU HAVE SEVERAL PROJECTS at once -
it means you are not confident in any of them! and you don''t trust in any of them.
(èç ñëîâ Þðèÿ Ìîðîçà shsd.ru)
so, always concentrate on the only one project which is right for You. And don't stop until you succeed
