I am a noobie needing help and advice

16 replies
I am a noobie here and I was told that if I asked, I could get all the advice I needed to direct me in the right direction. Here is my situation in a nutshell.

I am flat broke making everyone else rich on their supposed 100% guaranteed programs that got me deeper in debt without making me any money for myself. I am not looking for a get rich quick scheme but I need something that will produce enough money to pay my bills and I need it to produce funds inside of 7 days.

I am definitely hungry for something that truly works and I will do whatever my advisor tells me to do to get the job done.

Is there an angel on this forum that can help me?

    Hey there - I'd do a quick search for "cash cow" and also "jobless dad" and any one of the threads you find should get you going in the right direction. Jobless dads story is great and he managed over $1k in sales his first week without even having a website up to show people.

    I think that if you need genuine advice you need to tell a little more about yourself.
    There are some really great ideas here and they will work BUt unless a person has the aptitude and attitude needed to implement them then they wont work.
    Are you looking for a miracle ? and I guess as you have said you are going broke buying the million dollar ideas them you may well be.
    Try starting by looking for a Job and by that think about one little aspect of sales and marketing on the internet and focus on a service you can provide.
    The most common bit of advice I have seen here is "Start writing articles"
    Whilst I am always in the market to buy articles not everyone who is selling articles is good at writing them.
    However IF you have good english skills and a great imagination then there is an Instant business to make money on line and generate some Income very quickly.
    If however you are looking for someone to give you a step by step guide to Instant Riches without your aquiring any knowledge, or putting in hard work,dedicatin,aptitude,or attitude then I think you are looking for something thst does not exist.

    You don't say what skills, talents or experience you have to work with. All we know is that you need results in 7 days, though we don't know what sort of results you need. Without this knowlege we can only guess and throw things out there based on assumptions.

    If you know anything at all about internet marketing, the fastest way to results is to offer that knowlege to local businesses.

      One of the easiest ways to immediately start making
      money is to visit places like Digital Point and look through
      the Services section for jobs like Forum posting,
      Submitting to Social Bookmarking sites,Directories etc.

      There are so many members there willing to pay people who
      can do these tedious tasks for them.

      Just to get some cash flow in while you start to learn about internet marketing.

    I think you are suffering information overload, you keep on buying into programs but don't really go out to make some money, you have to take the actions and learn along the way.

    If you need to make money within 7 days unless you have a PayPal account I don't see you getting any Internet money.

    Can I ask if there is a reason you can't find some work where you're at?

    I know times are tough but there is always labor pools, and day labor jobs like walking onto a construction site, a loading dock, mowing the neighbor's lawn, offering to sweep in front of a business, wash cars at a car lot...

    Despite what some people would like to believe, there is always work to be found.

    You know the old "Pride goes before a fall"...well if you are too proud to hustle up some menial work then the lights go out in your house... then the house goes.

    I know it's not what you wanted to hear but please go do something constructive with the little time you have left. Don't waste anymore here on a dream.

    Come back when you get your bills paid and have some breathing room.

    I want to thank everyone for their wonderful suggestions and ideas. To answer Mathew Maiden's question, which I might add is a common question for me to hear, I suffer from spina bifida which recently confined me to a wheelchair. Until that time I was working steady. At one time I even owned my own printshop doing all sorts of business printing. Currently I am just trying to get used to moving around in this chair as it is not as easy as it seems on tv. Also, I am stuck in the vicious cycle with social security right now where my claim has been denied and I now have an attorney working on that for me but it is a long and drawn out process.

    Other than what is mentioned above, I know computers and software development, I am learning about game design, and I know editing proceedures for books and magazines. Currently there are no magazine companies where I live and the software market is very dry around here. That is it in a nutshell. I hope this helps you all answer my question better.

    Stidd,

    I'm sorry to hear about your condition right now and that you are having a hard time of it.

    I would suggest though, that if you have a Social Security claim you should not be making any money right now or you can have your claim denied.

    If you can't wait, or decide to give up on your SSI claim, then having knowledge in software development is a great skill to have.

    Go check out Elance to see how that works for other developers. You just might be in business after all.

    I was not advising you to give up on having your own Internet business by the way. I was trying to let you know that if you were in dire need of some cash right now, then this is not the time to try your hand at something you don't know enough about.

    I was merely stating that there are better ways to come up with quick cash than trying to make money online.

    Good luck

      Mathew,

      I do not take offense at what you said. After all, I doubt you are a graduate of Hogwarts and so you can't be all that skilled in crystal ball gazing (not that Trelawney is all that great a teacher) so what is there to be upset about. Your suggestions are actually very good and when I was younger and I did not have to deal with my back as much I would work at the local labor ready and manpower and places like that. Now, though it is not possible for me to get hired by those places. All I was doing was to explain my situation so you would understand it too.

      As far as the disability claim goes, my lawyer has told me that I can make a certain amount before SSI really starts taking a dim view because they know that their process is a long one and I need to live in the meantime. They can see that I am on food stamps and currently on a rent subsidy so it is not like I am making $500,000 bucks a week or anything like that. I just need enough to get me by until the dust settles around the claim.

    Its not easy to make fast cash, unless you do some sort of blackhat technique, like pay per install for instance. Building a business or affiliate marketing will take take some time especially if you are a newbie as it does involve in traffic generation. When I needed fast cash, I built unique blogs and websites and sold them on ebay or sitepoint

    I might be able to help you.

    It's true what some people say about the FASTEST way to get some money is to provide services to local business owners who know NOTHING about the Internet and more importantly, don't WANT to learn anything.

    Plus, they can write you a check which you can cash immediately. Fast money! Cool!

    So...what's your town or the nearest town like? Are there a lot of small Mom & Pop Businesses?

    If so, do you have an Adwords account and know how to use it?

    Also, do you know how to get a small business listed in Google Maps?

    You can provide Both of those services for a setup fee plus a monthly maintenance fee. I'd say offer each for $497 setup plus $97/month, or offer a package deal where you do both services for a setup of $697 plus $147/month. Or pick whatever pricing you're comfortable with, just don't give it away for free or cheap.

    If this is interesting to you, and if you need help with it, send me a private message and I'll help you out.

    Hello Omari Taylor here,

    All the advice I have read so far has been great. One thing you could do is go to Youtube and do some research on free marketing methods like article marketing, blogging etc... You can learn some great tips for free there. Also you can learn, if you search for it, about low cost marketing methods. Of course you can aways get fast results with PPC but that cost and if you don't know what you're doing you can quickly lose your shirt. I hope this helps and I wish you much success.
