Ok, I need to Get On My feet.

11 replies
I'm 20 right now... sleeping on coaches... inbetween houses... I'm receiving no financial help from anyone aside from food n shelter.. n I've been applying at jobs left & right but to no avail.. My Ideal Situation would be to find something @ 10-15/hr w. 40hr weeks so I can afford rent around here & get my own place.. I'm in Florida & everything is pretty cheap, but the wages are real low but thats mostly because im young n all i have is a GED and 2 minimum wage (7.50) jobs on my resume.. the research I did said that the average wage around here was around 35/hr.. so what I'm looking for is relatively reasonable, just hard to find because of my experience & training.. or lack there of.

Does anyone know of Any offline/online ways to make money to support myself until I get on my feet & have a stable job that are a little quicker and more cost efficient (ie. free) than the typical "Set up a blog & Make a product" idea. I used to unlock & customize Iphone firmware & resell them For like $50-$100 profit when I had a job to Buy the phones.. but Since I have no income now I cant do that.

I'm not lazy & I'm open to any ideas or suggestions.. & I'm not too proud to do things that are on the unethical side either.

Note: I'm a good writer.. I don't have much of a resume but I'm real talented in creative writing/ song lyrics etc. I tried looking for any type of ghost writing gigs, but without a real resume or credentials its hard to land anything. but if you marketing guys can think of a way to make money off of it I'd be more than interested to see what you have to say.

    Search the forum for a thread called "what to do if you are desperate." You should get some solid ideas that can get you on your feet.

    ^ Thanks @ Ben

    & @ Dogface I completely agree but without the money to support getting that education there's not much I can do.

    Try affiliate marketing. Choose products that are FREE to join and start promoting them using article marketing. You can start a FREE blog and put the products together for easy promotion.

    That way you can make money as long as you have access to the internet.

    You could create some plr packages to sell here on this forum and at other locations. This would help you build that writing port. Also if you could head over to frelancer, elance, or vworker and create some accounts. As long as you keep your bids low to start you should beable to do pretty good as a writer there. Also if you know how to build apps you could make some serious money building apps for people these days. It is one of the newest marketing tactics out there that many seem to over look. The apps dont need to be anything extravagant they just need a few things to make them marketable. Heck the ifart app is one of the most downloaded apps. All that app does is make farting noises.

    In my opinion, judging by your very dire situation, you'd be better off getting stable offline first before delving into online. Ive seen too many times people come, read the success stories, and think they can replicate it in a relatively short amount of time. Of course you can work on your online business on your spare time or something. Thats just my 2 cents though, I'd help you financially if I could, but unfortunately Im not one of those that claim to have made 56,929.32 in 3 days. Goodluck though brother, I know how it feels to be backed up against a wall.

    Not sure THAT has a thing to do with pride. Reap what you sow, eventually.
