Hello WF, long time lurker, I hate for my first post to be asking for advice rather than giving advice since this community is so helpful and I hate to not be giving back right now. But let me cut the B.S, I had some money tied into the Forex with one of those bots and I am currently down a large chunk of money ( around 10k ). Now that is the bad part, the good part is that I have about 3-4 weeks to pay my bills ( credit cards, car insurance, rent etc ). So I wanted to know if anyone can help me build myself back so that I can get back on my feet. I have tried e-whoring but that did not go well in my favor. And i'm still struggling with affiliate marketing using c.l gumtree etc. I want to put together a realistic plan using online money making methods so I can at least survive to next month and beyond and the job market is looking ****ty in my area and I dont really have much family to lean on. So if anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it. Also I hate to put this out there, because I know this sounds like a b.s sob story and I dont want to waste the community's time but if any of you guys can help me with this I would gladly appreciate it. Also this was posted in another forum, so i hope no one gets upset. |

Well don't take this the wrong way but this is your first post .... * If I had access to $10,000 (even if I was a newbie) and access to this forum I would have turned that $10,000 into an easy $10,000 a month income. This forum is a gold mine just waiting to be mined. * If your bills are $5,000 a month, then you certainly are living way past your means. I mean come on dude $5k a month in bills is a great deal of money especially considering the average American only makes $23,000 a year. This is poverty level in the USA. * You say you have been lurking awhile but yet you invest in forex instead of creating your own product and building a business... I just do not get this. * There is no get rich quick scheme, this is a myth... Maybe this is why you messed in forex not sure but the fact is unless you have the money to burn you should not be messing around in forex. * Looks like it may be time to start cutting up some credit cards and lowering those bills.

I don't think it is possible to do it that fast, except maybe sell a car on eBay? Even if you get a hot IM project going unless you sell your own product through payPal you will not get a check cut that fast. Even the payPal thing might not deliver cash if you got the account balance up quickly with new money |

If you are trading in Forex, you have to remember, it is a longterm thing. You will have your 'ups' and 'downs'. Do you still have a lot of capital invested? (I'm assuming you put in something like 50k). Personally, right now I'd say you are really uncomfortable doing trading and can't afford it, so take your remaining money out while you still have it. (Incidentally, if you were using a bot, essentially thats trying to cheat the system, and it seems you are like in the get rich quick mentality. You need to change that.) Anyways, you should get out right now, otherwise you are kind of getting into a 'gamblers' mindset and you are on 'tilt', where you are chasing bad money with good money. When you can afford to (essentially gamble) in the currency trading without worrying about whether or not you win/lose money, then I'd say you can go back into it. PS, then you would also have the 5k you need to pay your bills. You need to bite the bullet and get out of the trading. I know it will be hard, seeing as you are looking at it as a '10k' hit, but you can always go into it later. (And if you are going to cheat with a bot, make sure you pay attention to it -- ppl wouldn't sell bots if they were perfect, they would use it for their own purposes). |

How very unfortunate for you, but I think as has been suggested that you need to ditch whatever's bleeding you dry to the tune of needing $5000 per month. I also think that rather than lurking for so long it might have been wiser to get posting on the WF and have made some contacts/friends. You would then have someone to go to to help formulate some kind of plan or support to get you working a viable plan out of your situation. Good luck |

Sure, this is what you do; get a flight down to Bogota. When you get there, a man called Jose will meet you. He'll take you to a low grade hotel and give you a few dollars to enjoy yourself, then in about 5 days, he'll come to the hotel with some packages that you've got to swallow, and then take you back to the airport. Once your flight lands back at home, another guy(s) will take you from the airport to another hotel and give you a handful of laxatives and a bucket. After that you get your $5k. Fancy it? |

Woah you guys are brutal. Yeah, I agree, I couldn't imagine having 5k worth of bills a month. But there are plenty of other threads I've read in this forum explaining similar situations, seeking advice on how to make a large amount of money quickly, and all of those threads were answered honestly and respectfully. Why was this guy hacked on so much?

Hi, I agree with Elaina, not very helpful tips, just a lot of judging. Perhaps he does have a lot of bills...who knows what's going on with his personal life. Perhaps a few tips on where he could start is all he's looking for. That's what I was looking for when I came here, always on the look out for good advice. Perhaps we can work on that. Good luck raising your 5k. I work a full time job and do freelancing internet marketing on the side, one day I hope to be able to just do internet marketing...until I am there I am going to utilize all advice. Thanks in advice. |

why is 5k always the magic number? I wonder if its some sort of scam to steal WF ideas and turn it into a product with a pitch like "make 5k a month!" aside from my sneaking suspicions there are lots of threads on here with golden advice and i've seen money be made that fast. unfortunately its usually by guys who don't need it. |

actually, why don't you go find a good clickbank item and make a squeeze page for it and do whatever it takes to get traffic. youtube videos, ppc, offering related newsletters a one time fee to mail out or whatever else you can think of. or maybe thats a dumb idea. ive seen it work though |

| Yep, that would make a good product in itself- if you had a credible step by step plan to turn a $10K investment into a $10K/month income stream. Not everyone here is starting with zero capital to invest.

I am sorry, but I have no sympathy for people that do this. Instead of asking for people to make you $5,000 quickly, maybe you should have thought about testing the forex market before investing 10 grand into it. My advice to you. Get in a car, and start driving for the Mexican border. With any luck you can escape the United States unnoticed and won't have to pay your bills! P.S. To answer your question seriously, my advice is to write articles and other copy for people. You won't make $5,000, but you will be at least start making some money for your time. | |

Hmm.. it may sound odd. But learn how to trade The Forex instead. You just learned lesson 1. To lose money. And yes lesson 2. Machines can't trade human behavior very well. Some of us on here trade Forex Fulltime. And while some may say it's dagerous, so are the djungle. It has snakes and stuff, right? You just got bitten by one... The Marketer :O Lately people have come in here and think there is ready made 5k plans. If you hunt money in desperation it will end bad. Trading is a wonderful world. But not for lucky seekers.. that's it! Same with IM! Daniel |

Joe, ignore the nasty responses! People here are brutal sometimes..they forget that as humans we ALL make mistakes! I once looked at Forex and believe me, I quickly realized that it would be suicide for me to even attempt something that I know nothing about. It sounds like that's what happened to you. It also sounds like you have acknowledged your mistake and you're ready to take the necessary steps to correct it. Good for you! Why don't you write a report about your experiences using the Forex bot? Do you know how many people you will help by possibly preventing them from making the same mistake you made? Turn something bad into something good! Sell it for under 10 bucks. Use e-junkie.com to sell the report because it is a quick and painless way to secure your download and e-junkie uses PayPal, so you would get your money faster that way. I hope I've given you some ideas here. I wish you all the best of luck! |

There is a difference between truly needing help/seeking advice and someone that is either posting for a lark or just trying to get his post count up. It's not only rare that I make a negative post here - it's practically non-existent! But this one really was a bit over the top as advice posts go! not sure what the OP's intent was here - but I don't really think he is actually looking for real help.....and if I am wrong, then I apologize and reiterate what everyone else here has already said - start reading the forum posts and dive in.

"Long time Lurker"? (Joined Jan 2009) "E-whoring"? (What does that even mean?) This one smells fishy to me, at best. BUT ... if you are genuinely interested in making money via Internet Marketing, there really isn't any need to start a new post asking how. Just start searching the existing posts. You'll find more material than you can process in a month of non-stop reading. Pick any of the very powerful strategies that are already in this forum and begin applying the information found. |

Well , I would like to say to everyone, that thank you for the support. Also to those who bashed me, I think its appropriate for my situation. <br> But the point of this thread is just to get me on the right track in starting out in IM. I know I made mistakes but I am now trying to get out of this hole.<br> 5k, maybe un realistic, but I am doing what i didn't do when I was trading on the forex, which is planning for the long term. Right now I think that my solution for my first revenue stream should be article writing and affiliate marketing. Although what is the best way to start affiliate marketing on the cheap ?? |

Also I apologize to anyone who found the e-whoring solution to be distasteful. I only did it for a short period of time, until I realized that I could write articles instead. I was just looking for some means of income with very little start up capital. And I am not a scam everyone, just a guy who made dumb mistakes, who is trying to get on the right path. Also I have been searching through the forums as well. I think the best solution for me right now is just to sign up for affiliate programs and to promote products. It is free to start correct ?? |

Hah, no sympathy in this thread. Sorry you found out the hard way that you had no business whatsoever in the Forex market if a loss was going to wipe you out. What were you thinking?! But you're smart--you'll figure out the next "get rich overnight without skills" thing to get into. Whatever you do, don't build a real business by searching the forums. Takes too much time. |

Well starting from square one with no list built or any marketing out there will make it quite hard to make 5k in 4 weeks. It is possible for I have done it before. But I also have a big list and established marketing on the internet. So I think you need to start with the basics. 1. build a capture page giving away something Free that has to do with your niche you are in. 2. Get an autoresponder (aweber) and learn to generate 10-25 leads per day. 3. build relationships with the list by providing value. Then sell them products that will help them in what ever they are interested in. That method may not make you 5k in the next 4 weeks but with consistency it will eventually make you 5k or more per month 6 months to a year from now. Hope that helps! Have a great day! |

Thank you all for your comments especially the ones, that are bashing me. Because I do deserve it. After looking around the forum, I have decided to become an affiliate and I wanted to ask for advice. My plan is to pick one product to get a system going and then repeat for various niches. So far the system I have planned is : a) Creating content by writing various articles myself then submitting them to various sites b) Creating a landing page to warm up leads by using blogspot, not sure if I can start building a list this way ?? c) Get relevant domain and cloaking my links ( Need some advice on this ) d) Writing blog entries as well, and establishing other sources of traffic to my blogspot. ( The blogspot page is where I will have my aff link ) Is this correct ?? |
