I lost over $400 dollars this year due to internet marketing with no successful sales.. Ebay took $142 out of my bank account because they thought I was selling 10 items, but I didn't even sell the 10 items, I am trying my best to get this money back. I dispute a charge, I waited almost 10 days, and they said there was no evidence, but I am not giving up. This is even worst then last year. Everything for me is getting worst year after year, but the good news is, I am gaining more experience on the internet. I don't have a family, and I will try to apply for a disabled home soon, if one exist in Atlanta, US. I am 20 years old, I have been applying for jobs since I was 15 and no one will hire me. From retail to fast food, no one will hire me. Everyday, I see thousands of people around my age that have phones and driver licenses, I don't believe I will ever make it that far. I get when people say you can be happy with nothing and stick with your family. But I don't have any relatives to care about, they just like to phyical and emotionaly abuse me, and I get threated to get put out. They call the police on me plenty of times, but I need to find a place immediately before it is too late. I just want to run away from them, and pretend they never exisited. I know the illegal activities they have done that could lead them to prison for a long time, such as bad checks, signing other people's bills without permission, illegal firearms, and child cruety (not me, another person). I am stronger then that, I would never let do that to me, I have already had enough in life. I have the papper work and proof about the illegal activities they have done, they don't even know that I have the papper work. this will be my ultimate revenge yet.

It is impossible for me to do freelancing. On freelancer.com, odesk.com, guru.com, vworker.com, and elance.com, people are bidding on jobs against 50 people. This is ridiculious. When I go on classifieds to do gigs, no one reply to me back. There is one hope I have left, I still have my two website left, I will add content and monitize them. But I know the mistakes that I have done, I know how to not waste so much money agian. I hope I get my money back from Ebay by the time my HostGator bill is due. Next year, I will live off of survey websites such as Cashcrate, InboxDollars, SendEarnings, Fusion Cash (one time only), etc. I know plenty more, just ask me. You are all were wondering, how do I have access to a pc? Because I go to a free library, but they don't give you much time. People tell me to use Fiverr, but I don't have a camera.

How will I be able to survive in this world? I'm not giving up on Internet Marketing. I will start low, like continue my HostGator account for only $10 dollars a month. I will not waste money on other things I have done. The two websites that I made are also my small business. I will try SSI and SSDI, but I don't know when to get started. I do have 3 social disorders. I have been to the thread, "What to do if you are desprate?" But which post should I stick with the most? Am I cured with bad luck or something?

By the way, I'm sorry if I broke any rules, I try my best to avoid that of all times.

    You don't need a camera to make some money on Fiverr.

    Find something for free that has a value. It could be some service you could provide or some free product with MRR or PLR rights. Just make sure it is something that people would easily pay $10 for and they will fall over themselves to buy it at $5.

    This should start getting you some seed money to keep your hosting alive. If you have to let that go, you could learn how to put WP sites, sales pages, squeezepages etc. on Amazon E2 for free (for the first year anyway).

    If I were you I would get into doing some offline marketing...if you've been doing this for as long as you have you can easily and confidently sell your services to local businesses. You'll make money faster than doing online marketing...just remember to think and act like an expert.

      You don't? Good, the reason why I have said that is because on the Fiverr.com, it has videos waiting for people to show theme gigs. I guess a camera is not needed.

      Master Resale Rights and Private Label Rights? I just signed up an account with resell-rights-weekly.com two weeks ago, but I haven't got started on it yet. It is free and the alexa rank is higher then super-resell.com and masterresellrights.com. I heard of mrr and plr for 18 months now, but I haven't tried them out yet. I don't know how to get started, but they emailed me tutorial videos and articles, I haven't open them yet, I will start soon. However, the main thing I need to is how to price them. I already know how to:

      - find keywords with global monthly searchs (at least 2,000)
      - find keywords with low to medium competition
      - find keywords with low search results (under 51,000) on Google

      My primary keyword I find on Google had over 150,000+ global monthly searches, with low competition, and only 5,880 results. Is that cool or what?

      Sure, On my two websites, I also have blogs for them. Some of the tutorial subjects I was devoleping were:

      - Would you like to build your own website?
      - Would you like to put web applications on your website?

      Is this a good idea, I will show you my new blogs later. I just updated WordPress 3.3 a few minutes ago, it looks more nice, clean, and organized. I have not added any content yet, and I have add them with traffic yet because I am not done. I won't make them into a failer like my other website, I will sell that one on Flippa, but I not familar how to flip websites.

      Thanks, this is a good idea. I would like to become a director for this. How do I get started with this?

      On Thursday, December, 15, 2011. I done somthing I have never done before. Use job resumes, this was probley why people ignored me because I didn't tried this out before. Hound.com said that 95% of people are hired by job resumes today. I just submit 20 of them two days ago. If I succed with this, I will make a tutorial on my blogs that will teach others how to submit job resumes, and use the correct services.

      You are all wondering, how did I get more hours at the library? I walked another mile to another library lol.

        You say you have 3 social disorders.

        Sounds like a desperate market. Sounds like you have lots of experience.

        You have a hosting account. Why don't you buy a .info domain for $2.99.

        Start a website about 1 or more social disorders.

        Check keywords. Write articles. Do SEO. Read anything Alexa Smith has wrote on Article marketing.

        Check for affiliate products. Better yet, make your own. Build a list.

        Sell. Make money. Build a business. Become rich.

        Good luck.

    All of your answers lie within you. Don't let discouragement overtake you. I wish you all the best.

      You need to redefine yourself and turn impossible into im possible. Yeah, it's a play on words but you need to think more of yourself and don't let anything stand in your way of being successful. You've done quite a deal to survive in this world and I have no doubt that you will make it through the next stages.

      My recommendation, since you're no stranger to work, is to share yourself to some freelance article writing sites. Right off the top of my head I can think of textbroker.com and iwriter.com that accepts anyone. Sure they don't pay that much in the beginning but with a little persistence, you'll be able to create a sustainable income for the time being.

      take charge of yourself,
      Jim

    I think you have writing skills. Why don't you apply that skill as a service. Everyday people outsource articles from freelancing sites. You can try that one to collect cash. Then move to make more web sites.

    Good luck!

      Internet Marketing is truly a game where you will face the challenges of reinventing yourself often, especially to stay ahead of the "curve".

      I have well over $35k invested in IM, and MLM business ventures.. $18k was a complete loss at first, (Mostly during the MLM and Telecom boom) and hurt like no other. I myself have found moments where I felt like I WAS DONE, and wanted to throw all my PC's in the garbage; Go get a regular 9-5 job, etc.

      After working in the corporate arena making companies millions yearly, I decided that I would take my skills and make myself wealthy. The struggle has been ongoing, but still beats the brakes off a standard, "rat race" corporate america job anyday. Also, the beauty of writing my own ticket to success, and the pride of business ownership is second to none.

      Like anything else, if you want it bad enough it will come.

      When you crave success as you crave breath, then you will become successful. That is posted on my PC, and viewed every time I feel like I cant go on. It has carried me through many 24-36hr, "no sleep" periods of hardcore web design, promoting, marketing, programming, and testing.

      Keep pushing

    It could be just another best luck for you one day, or you just keep building your own relam of internet marketing... just be aware that the competition is everywhere, no matter what you do.

    The main thing is that you are willing to learn and you seem to be incredibly determined for somebody who has been through so much. My advice to you would be to, as you yourself said, minimize costs. You do not need to make huge investments to get rewards in the world of internet marketing. Keep learning and working hard - you are bound to succeed
