Advice required from Warriors - clumsy traveller lost old internet marketing information!!

7 replies
Hola all,

A few years ago I was very much into internet marketing, I never gave it my full attention but made a bit of money to give me treats now and then and to help pay off my debts. I left due to the full time job, partner (now ex) and friends taking up too much time.

During my years with internet marketing I bought many ebooks, courses etc etc. and was a member on here, I even made a couple of WSO's!! The reason I'm here again?? - Well!!!!

I am currently travelling in South America, after taking redundancy from work, paying off my debts I had a little bit of money left so being a dreamer I decided to leave the UK and go travelling. Trouble I have now is I have zero money left so thought the best way to bring money in is to deep my toe, actually my whole foot in the internet marketing pool and see if this time I could be a success - well it's do or die time at the moment!

As I have no money left to continue my travel or to afford to go home I need to make some money as quickly as possible - as I said in the title I lost all my old information due to putting all the ebooks on my memory stick and losing it in Buenos Aires - gutted as it also had my work info, writing and some private photos....ahem!! Anyway the email I used then was out of use for ages so all my old documents have gone too - so I am a newbie again (plus since I stopped working on internet marketing I bet things have changed sooooo much).

Now I need your help. If you can give me some advice for free on how I can get started making money asap or point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.

I have made a free website (no money for hosting or buying a domain name as yet) and need to start populating it with interesting information and get people to the site but I have totally forgotten how (in my sig).

I no longer have the pressures of a full time job, partner or friends pestering me to go out - I have a trusty old netbook and plenty of time so I am going to be a willing student and listen intently.

Please no messages asking me to purchase this or that as I seriously haven't got the money - I am going to spend my time researching on here but thought I'd make my own post also.

Sorry for the long post, I love writing and waffling on so thank you if you made it to the end of this. I know I've been stupid by travelling with limited funds but I was following my dream and took the opportunity.

    write on your travels, create a book and give away a snippet of your report. Tell them where they can buy the whole book. Ex hosting. amazon, google, tradebit, ejunkie etc

    figure out which one would be free for you. Google and find the top travel bloggers and send the top 10 a free copy and ask for a free review on their blog


    good luck

      If you need money that desperately you may want to offer writing services or something of that nature on the popular forums.

        I was going to suggest the same thing. I don't know if this is something you would consider long term or not, but it would definitely help out in the short term to make you some money. People are always looking for writers to outsource their work to, so you could do quite well writing.

          Cheers for the advice guys. That sounds like a good way to start building up the income - I haven´t written articles for sometime but practice makes perfect and beggars can´t be choosers so I think to start putting money in my pot I´m going to have to look at this.

      Thanks for getting back to me Team X - that´s a great idea - I was going to ask how I would circulate the report and then I read on and you answered! Travelling really has taught me a lot - I read so much on a lot of forums before but in hindsight it didn´t help me as much as I thought it would so an ebook on that could work. Cheers!

      Not intentionally bumping this post, I just want to say thank you to Team X for giving me this advice. I have taken it and am now writing an ebook for new travellers to South America with the FAQ's that most people ask, instead of having a snippet of the book I will insert affiliate products.

      Got a lot of work to do and am actually buzzing about it - it's do or die time.

      Thanks for inspiring me.
