If You Owed The Mob $10,000 AND They Were Coming For It Next Week, What Would You DO?

[tommygadget]

Quick note: That post title was for Kevin the hamster king.

OK, a friend of mine is in this dilemma, he needs $10,000 (no, not the mob, close, house in foreclosure) in approx. 14-21 days and came to me for ideas. When I realized that he was serious, I thought about it and said that I would ask some friends in the know Here are my ideas:

1) Sell his car and computer. I don't think his are worth much, but it was worth a try.
2) Put everything he owns on eBay and try to sell it all.

Anyway, as far as IM ideas go, I thought real hard about this. First, he would have to process payments himself because of the short time frame. This means two important things: 1) He needs PayPal and 2) He needs a product of his own. OK, PayPal setup is no problem, I did that for him. The product was a different story. I am looking into PLR and will be re-writing it for him. I will then promote it via adwords and mass article distros.

So warriors, what would you do if the gun was to your head?

Screen for help before the mob shoots me!

Offline he can organize some kind of car wash or make a BBQ and sell food to the people in the neighborhood.

Or if he doesn't want to do that, he can always ask his family for help, in other words, ask to borrow money and then pay them back when he gets that report done and starts making money online with it.

Hope that helped.

I'd CTC.


Cut The Check


EDIT:

Anyway, where your friend is concerned, what are the chances that someone going into foreclosure will take action on any of the advice shared anyway?

That's a tough one.

After selling everything he can on ebay (and everything that people donate to him to sell), and borrowed money from family (who hopefully don't charge interest) is there something he is particularly good at that he can sell (Article writing etc?)

Remember, $10000 can be broken down in to 100 sales of $100. What can he offer for $100 that a lot of people would want?

Personally, if i were desparate, I would pimp my ass out article writing.

[DougBarger]

Hey Tom,

Instead of focusing on the product, you and your friend need to focus more on who will end up buying it.

This means pick a market that has high demand with proven buyers.

You can see what the top sellers in that niche are offering and then
replicate the basics of what's working for them while tweeking your offer
to give them more of what they want and why they are buying from
the top niche guys in the first place.

You can look at what kind of ppc ads/sponsored search ads they're using
and contact them offering them an affiliate commission to promote

your "complementary" or related offer to their list of already extremely
targeted buyers. I say extremely targeted buyers because they've already bought a product
like yours from the listowner so if you can improve upon the product and/or add something that helps them get more value out of the one they already bought, then it will be a win win.

Think about it, you're making it easier for them to make more money by offering a new product that they know their buyers are already wanting.

You need to find a way to fill any gaps their product may have left which will make it a perfect fit.

This way you benefit from the existing client database and the listowners benefit from the fast cash injection you reward them with in commissions for making you and your friend money offering your product to their list.

Heck, why not offer them (list owners) private label rights (plr) so that they can
claim credit for creating it themselves and make instant money like that?

That way you're giving them a new product and income stream that complements and/or even improves upon their current offerings as well as providing them a new way to get some quick cash benefitting their list.

Of course, you and your friend now have the extra money.

The bigger and more in demand the niche is, then the more listowners and database owners you'll be able to contact and offer the private label rights to.

Find out how much you can get and then identify how many listowners you'll need to contact and then make it happen.

Just some ideas to help you get going.

Oh, one more thing. You can get some royalty free music clips to use as intros and exits for mp3s you can record using audacity which is free.

Now you can offer mp3s instead of just pdf.
Using camtasia or cam studio you can add video to the mix.

Now you've got videos, audios and text to offer.

Remember, all you have to do is make it once and then you can sell it as many times as you need to get the 10k.

Find high traffic sites and/or blogs in the niche you picked and purchase cheap ads for your link to your salespage.

A few well placed ads all working for you at the same time can get you some good traffic and some sales.

Hope this helps.

[tommygadget]

OK, before you all think I let him drown, I'll say this much. I lent him the money. Now I am getting creative so that he can hurry up and pay it back So here's the creative exercise: If you had a setback and the gun was to your head for TEN LARGE, (and no friends like me to bail you out), WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

TomG.

[Jason Moffatt]

Selling all his stuff probably isn't the wisest move either because next month he's going to face the same type of problems.

The mortgage payment doesn't stop. Nor do the other bills.

I'd suggest he get some real skills and hone his craft. Let the house foreclose, move into a cheap apartment, and plug away until he's got it down. If that don't work, get a real job.

My point is, he got to this point for a reason. And even if he did get $10,000 all of the sudden, more then likely he'd be in the same scenario 3 months from now.

I'd be focusing on how to build some sustainable skills, not just getting a quick 10 G's.

However, if I were just trying to get a quick sum like that, I'd probably try to partner up with someone wealthy and make them a offer they couldn't possibly refuse and work my ass off for them.

I'd construct an amazing letter and pass that thing out to about 30 successful entrepreneurs offering my services for a fraction of the cost over a long period of time.

[tommygadget]

Doug, nice, you're one smart cookie. Keep 'em coming, let's see how creative you guys are when the chips are down. Oh, did anyone notice the post's tags? Pretty funny stuff.

TomG.

[Mraz]

Easy.

Make it a sad story where people will feel damned if they don't donate. The act of humanity. Set up paypal donation. Post it in huge traffic forums, and etc. I know a shop who was scammed $16k, posted the story, setup paypal donation, and they're recouping the losses. Or make a 1 million dollar site.

[tommygadget]

Mraz, pretty good, but I want him to be able to keep his cashflow going so he does not land himself in this spot time after time. Points for original thinking, though!

TomG.

[Lance K]

He could write a course titled...

"How To Save Your Home From The Foreclosure Goons By Raising Up To $10,000 Or More In Under 21 Days!"

then just expand on and package the info divulged in this thread. Throw in a bonus report about easy credit repair, a rock solid money back guarantee (or a conditional double your money back guarantee), and a $1 trial with balance billed to credit card in 2 weeks and he's good to go.

Tom, I was only half joking. The forclosure market is huge these days.

[VegasVince]

JaMo is HALF right.

And this dude in the OP definitely needs to figure out why he got his **** in a ringer...etc...

But telling a chick whose "knocked up"--- to use a condom "next time"--- doesn't do her much good..NOW.

I haven't owed the "Mob" 10K...because there's NO such thing as the Mafia of course.

But years ago, I di owe a rather nasty, Italian bookmaker 11K....for real....with two weeks to pay...or pay another way.

And to be honest I did what I had to do...by any means necessary...most of which I can't repeat here. But let's say Vinnie paid off his marker.

I will agree with Jamo on this: this guy needs to dump the house. It aint his anyway...it's the banks. Always was. And this dude doesn't deserve a house...he can't afford anyway.

If you want to spin this OP into IM and/or other legit ways to raise fast cash.....I would honestly say that the best option available for the deserate would be to offer down the road services for upfront cash.......so you can buy some time.

But you better over deliver when the time comes to deliver....or you're gonna have a whole new set of problems.

Cuz I have a feeling if you stiff some of these Warriors for services promised and not delivered...you'd be better off spending the evening with The reamining members of the Gambino Family. Capiche!

Tell him to look up Chris Remple. Then combine his writing skills with Chris's conduit method.

[tommygadget]

OK, Vegas Vince, and others, yes, you are right, he needs a dose of fiscal responsibility and should dump the house (he grew up in) and live within his means. This experience of his just made me wonder what warriors would come up with in a back to the wall situation.

Nice pic Vince. First time I've seen it.

One way to capitalize of the foreclosure house would be to offer it to a...

foreclosure investor.

Depending on how much equity you have already built in, you could
get some toward the 10 thousand if not pay it off.

You may also be able to offer the foreclosure investor a lease purchase option where you'll be leasing it from him monthly keeping the option open
to purchase it from him a couple of years down the road, once you're rid of the debt.

You can call it a "new lease on life" so to speak. Lol.

Pardon the pun if you will.

lol yeah. that gave me a good laugh.

Did he try to borrow funds from his friends or family?

[lindajess]

Firstly, I would pee myself if I owed the mob any amount of money and were coming to get it. LOL

But seriously, I've been in kind of that situation. The issue here is that you did all of this for him. See, the same thing happened to me, not the exact same but close enough for this to really hit home. The thing is, what has your friend learned from what you have done for him?

The thing is, my boyfriend came to me and told me about this whole internet marketing thing. He asked if I would like to give it a try. I wanted to, however, I thought he was going to do all of the work for me. I was way wrong...He told me that if I wanted to change this whole money issue, that I would have to learn how to do this for myself. He would be there every step of the way, answer questions, show me different ways of doing certain things, but that I had to learn how to do this so that I would not end up in the same issues again and again.

He taught me haw to do the things that I needed to do to survive and the funny thing about it was that I'm actually doing it for myself now. Yeah, he's always there if I need a helping hand. And yeah, he could have done everything for me, but he wanted to teach me a new skill, one in which I could use again and again, and possibly even quite my job and live quite happily for the rest of my life.

I know this has nothing to do with what you asked, I'm just putting in my two cents...If you teach him to how to do this, he won't need your help the next time the bank trys to foreclose on his house because they won't be foreclosing because you will have taught him a new skill that he can use to help him out of binds like this.

Does that make sense? It's the whole "not a hand out but a hand up" thing...

[VegasVince]

You'se didn't hear this from me....but I'm guessing home boy doesn't have one penny of equity in this white elephant.

Sometimes a spark of flame from a coffee pot gone hay wire..... is a poor bastard's best friend.

Busting the joint out--- is always an option....assuming you're in tight with the local fire chief.

[AverageGuy]

If he can write well, then do some WSO for writing articles. Maybe monthly service (or membership service).

or, use his future paycheck (from book store) as credit to make a loan from his friend.

forclosure is a very serious problem in US, especially in where I live.

good luck

Is there a particular topic that he knows well that he could use to launch a coaching program? He wouldn't even need to have much in the way of written material. If he could find some PLR on the subject and rewrite it into weekly lessons he could easily create a coaching program.

He'd just need to setup a sales page and offer coaching by email using an autoresponder for the lessons. Coaching programs charge a minimum of $200 per month so he'd just need 50 students and he'd have it covered.

Sylvia

[AndrewCavanagh]

His best chance of making that kind of money with internet marketing might be to sell some kind of service, book up multiple clients and get paid at least 50% in advance.

Be sure to give yourself plenty of time on your deadlines to complete each project.

Kindest regards,
Andrew Cavanagh

[Jason Moffatt]

I posted this in another thread that Pete had started, but thought I'd repurpose here. Here it is...

"One thing I noticed in that thread was the guy had lived in the house his entire life. Once I thought about that, my thinking shifted a wee bit.

That house may have history. His father may have built it. There are probably memories that only could be relived by drinking brewski's on the back porch. Obviously I'm speculating, but a house the you grew up in is worth much more then the sticker price.

And while I still stick by the advice I gave for most occasions, I don't want anyone to think that I'm opposed to coming up with a quick scheme to get the dude out of his situation.

The problems is...

Even with that perfect scheme (I love that word scheme, it just sounds cool), most people just can't execute. That's why they work in book stores, like that dude. They can be brilliant, artistic, and smarter then the average Joe, but for some reason just can't pull the trigger and get the job done in the real sales world.

And there's nothing wrong with that. Not everyone is cut out to be an entrepreneur, nor wants to be."

[Popstar]

Your friend needs to go to the bank BEFORE they send him another foreclosure notice and renegotiate the loan. These banks are hurting; they'll do it if you know how to present yourself.

Be sure to talk to someone with the power to help him, not customer service. But make sure he has a negotiation strategy; if you go in and wait to see what they offer you, you won't get the best deal.

That'll buy him some time to make the money he needs.

Realistically, it's hard to sell a house in most U.S. markets these days. Just because you put it up for sale doesn't mean it will sell.

Going to a foreclosure investor is just asking to be ripped off. They won't pay you what a house is worth. That's why they target foreclosed properties.

By the way, most of these "Stop Foreclosure" books don't know what the hell they're talking about. Find someone with some financial and negotiation knowledge and go save the house. It's not as hard as you think to renegotiate with more favorable terms.

One other alternative is to rent out part of the house and use that income to pay your mortgage. I'm not a fan of renting, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

[tommygadget]

Yes Jason, Vince, everyone who is looking at the big picture, getting him out of hot water, especially by lending him the cash makes me part of the problem. He needs to truthfully assess his financial situation and create a plan to sustain his lifestyle. I was hoping that his troubles could turn into something of value for those who might be in a spot by creating a thread where we would hash out interesting ways of generating quick cash. Here are some ideas in the thread (no particular order):

1) Create an info product and sell it.
2) Find a hot info product and create a complementary product and market it to existing affiliates.
3) Run a WSO and sell services at a deep discount for cash up front.
4) Number 3 but not in WSO format.
5) Defective sparking coffee pot.
6) Sob story with PayPal button.

Well I hope I didn't miss any. C'mon people, pretend that you are in acting class. Here's the motivation: make cash or get head blown off... Hmm... pretty good motivator...

Oops!

You just told us that he's already been to Countrywide and mortgaged his inherited house to the max on an inflated appraisal, right?

This guy doesn't deserve this house. And nothing you do for him is going to help. Some people desperately NEED to hit bottom. There are lessons in the bottom of the gutter that are only learned when you sleep in it.

It's hard to watch a friend crash, but you're not doing him any favors by trying to save him. You'll be hitched for life.

Based on the urgency....I'm still stickin' with my original number 5.

A vintage 1970's Mr. Coffee machine...with a frayed and battered chord.... purchased from the local thrift store...... will 9 times out of 10 ignite a spark that will take down a house faster then the Wall Street crash of the 20's. For real.

He can create a series of products that teach how to effectively research any subject.

He can also hold workshops.

No offense, Deb. I know your heart is in the right place.

But if YOU needed 10K in a matter of days......would you attempt to raise the funds via teaching bookworms how to research?

Truth is, that market has been researching their entire lives...ever since they figured out they probably weren't going to get a date for the prom.

Let me tell you something...If you find a way to bail him out he will no longer be a friend...he will be more like having a kid...He will always screw up and expect you to come up with a miracle to bail him out. Because obviously he hasn't ever crashed and burned before...I bet someone has bailed him out of several past issues. I bet in all those times not once were the consequences bad enough. How the hell else would you be 10k back on mortgage payments and not have been thinking of WTF to do 6 months ago?

[lakshaybehl]

Here's the best approach as far as I am concerned!

1. Go to Master-Resale-Rights and buy a few products on IM! (I recommend ebooks)
2. Read Through the books and which obviously MUST be on one particular area (such as Video Marketing and Viral Traffic)


....Day 2 starts....


3. Implement those methods yourself and try to work out everything as wbest as possible (I would personally lok at the best channels on Youtube and then try to create my channel at par with those if not better)

Day 3................

4. Ask on WF or any forums related to the niche whenever you are stuck with something...

Day 4

5. Download Jing from jingproject.com and create a step-by-step video training series guiding right from the basics thriough the most advanced stuff.... remember this is just one strategy! I think 12-13 videos of 5 Minutes each would be absolutely fine! This will take no more than 5-7 hours

6. Think of a a name for your product and get the domain and hosting. Also post your requirements for basic minisite graphics package on designoutpost.com

Day 5...

7. Get RAP Script to manage everything and install it!

8. Read and swipe 10-12 different salesletters of the top products in your niche dealing with similar, but not the same information packaged as a product! Re-read them until you know the basic elements of the salesletters and the most common things that are being said!

Day 6...

9. Create your own salesletter... Here's how to start...
A. Write down the benefits... these are not the features of the products.
B. Brainstorm the USP (Your Own Story packaged as an event) and type it...
C. Give the product complimentary to some people and get testimonials from them. Try to get their phtots and an audeio/ video from them as well!
D. Put the three P's together... Pain, Process, Proof!
E. Use the words "You" And "because" as often as you can in your sales copy!
F. make it personal. Great sales people are great story tellers!
G. get feedbacks from the copywriting forums of WF and other sites!
H. make changes accordingly!

Day 8. Do the leftovers!

Day 9. Put together a WSO worth $27 offering the product to test the sales copy, get testimonials and get reviews about the product! While this might make you a few hundred dollars, maybe a thousand or more, you have much to do!

Also start finding and looking for JV partners to promote your product for you!

Day 10. Get the ministe designed and and up and running! Start selling the product for $47. You need to sell just 200 copies. Which means just 15000 unique visitors to your site! Which should be easy if you know how to use Web 2.0 to do that for you.

The power of Myspace is awesome. I personally get nearly 1000 UV per day from Myspace so it is not only easy but also possible! But with multiple accoutns and right approach combined with automation it is possible to get 15000 UV in a week or so!

Best of Luck!

But again.....the OP's dude is about to get a Columbian Necktie.....and there is NO tomorrow. The Mob has a speeding bullet with his name on it.

Still seems to be the only practical solution for this guy.

Hey Vince!

Thanks for that!

Post it in huge traffic forums, and etc. I know a shop who was scammed $16k, posted the story, setup paypal donation, and they're recouping the losses. Or make a 1 million dollar site.

All okay but don't use PayPal. Someone tried that after hurricane Katrina and in true form PayPal locked up the donation account ....

With the current number of foreclosures, it's not longer a sad story - just a daily occurrence.

The fastest way to $10,000... borrow it.

Well, in this case, that worked!

I'd serious consider the coffee pot or a toaster or space heater or ......


Seriously, if the person hasn't been out of work or had a medical crisis or something else that drained finances - he's doing something wrong in the first place to get into such a fix. If he doesn't change what he does, he'll only be in a crisis again in a few months.

First he needs to try to renegotiate his mortgage - which more and more lenders seem willing to do right now - to lower the payments. THEN he needs to either get going online or get a second job. His problem isn't solved - he HAS to make payments on time going forward and needs to start now to make sure he can do that.

It would be heartbreaking to lose a property that had been in your family for years and would be a hard blow to recover from emotionally.

Well it would indeed take alot of work but If I was your friend I would find some good PLR e-books and sell them on ebay for quick cash. (you would have to put the PLR products on a disk and mail them out but it should be all worth it if done correctly)

If I owed the mob or any gang for that matter, any money I would start a auction on ebay where I would sell my life!!

I would call it:

Buy my life back from the mob! Only $10.000 needed!

Or I would whip up a donation website where I would post screenshots of the letters the mob sent me stating that they are going to kill me if I dont pay up.
I would then promote this website as a WSO(very compasionate people on this forum!) I would try to promote it on oprah.com

And I would try to promote it via article marketing heheheheh.

If im lucky, the next week I should have at least some cash to NOT have them kill me.

Vince, this thread clinched it. YOU are my favorite Warrior poster.

Before I'm breaking bread with the Earth worms, I gotta meet you someday.

Just make sure the mob isn't around when I come by.


As for the op's thread and my idea, I got nuthin.

I've made 10K in 3 weeks, but never in 7 days. And I've been doing this
for over 5 years. I just don't see it reasonably happening. Personally, I think
he's better off learning a hard lesson from this and getting his sh*t together.
I know that sounds cold, but if you keep bailing people out, they're just going
to keep repeating the same mistakes over and over.

Even I had to learn these lessons the hard way. I kept losing job after
job until finally I realized I couldn't work for the man and stopped tryinng
to. That's when I finally had some success in my life.

Steven - until finally I realized I couldn't work for the man and stopped tryinng
to. That's when I finally had some success in my life.

Amen to that for sure!

I can totally relate to that sentiment. I used to work in senior management for a major corporation before deciding that I couldn't work any longer for the man either. Took a severe cut in income to start out on my own, but it was more than worth it (until I fell in a ruck through all the stress of running my own company that is!) - But that's another story

Whew! Go get some sleep and see what happens? OK, I already told you guys that I bailed him out. I also re-negotiated his loan (worked for a bank for a decade). He will be in better shape if I can help him get his IM efforts off the ground. I think I should have made a different post. Here goes: I am the idiot who lent a friend $10,000. I would like to have it back in a month or so. What would you do to get the funds back quickly if you were me? Oh, and for those who will post the "I told you so" posts, I already look at this as a loss.

Dude,

You take his house if he don't pay up! Simple as that.
