I Need Some Ideas...In a Bind
As many of you know, I'm a WAHM and freelance writer. Unfortunately, I'm also in a rough spot. I had a baby in August, and was unable to work due to the surgery and some medical issues that she's had ever since. She had surgery on 11/4, and is hopefully on the mend. However, our finances aren't.
I had to severely reduce my client load for two months, and at the same time my husbands hours have been drastically cut. He teaches guitar lessons, and in the spring was easily working 20-30 hours per week in addition to his full time job, allowing us to just barely make ends meet. His hours have been cut back to around 5 per week, and he's literally making 1/3 of the income he was then. Now that I'm back to working full time, I'm having a hard time finding clients locally.
We have overdue medical bills, a late car payment, and are borrowing the rent money this month. In short, we're headed for drastic problems.
I've taken on a part time job to try to help out, but we're still struggling just to get by. We live in WV, and the economy is literally in the toilet, so there are very few jobs to be found. It's the kind of area where when you have a job you cherish it and work it until you retire or die
not the kind where you can just go out and pick up some extra hours whenever you need to.
Now that I've completely embarrassed myself <sigh>
I was wondering if any of you have work that he or I can take on for you? Writing, squidoo, keyword research, blogging, building wordpress sites, etc. I'd be willing to do it at a lower rate than normal, in light of the situation that I"m in. I've run a few WSO's, but had little success lately. I also run a PLR membership site that I'm willing to offer reduced memberships to.
Do any of you have ideas for how to bring in some cash quickly? I'm willing to work, and I have some great plans in place, but they'll take time to carry out. For example, I have an offline seminar scheduled for January, which will probably help to expand my client base significantly. However, that doesn't help me now. I can write, I have hosting and an autoresponder, but no list.
Total amount we're in need of is only about $1200, which I know isn't a huge amount for successful marketers/IM'rs, but seems like a huge insurmountable goal right now. I'm not looking for handouts, but any advice is appreciated.
