In dire need of HELP

Hello fellow warriors. I am in a crisis right now and I am in serious need of your help/advice. I just recently lost my job and I have about 2 weeks to get back on my feet and get my rent paid or I will be out on the street. I have been applying to every job post I come across but the local economy here is very bad and jobs are scarce.

I have a good working knowledge of affiliate marketing, PPC, CPA and the like but for the life of me can not pinpoint a niche that I can cash in on.

My passions and interests include: Nature, computers and software, quantum physics, natural health/healing, UFOs & aliens, galaxies/nebulas/anything space related and of course, internet marketing. I am sharing these because I feel these topics are my best bet at making some quick cash.

I am a member of the following programs: Amazons affiliate program, Commission Junction, PeerFly, ShareASale and ClickBank. I would like to promote using YouTube, Facebook and/or Google Adwords but I am open to suggestions.

I have $75 in advertising credits on Adwords and around $50 in capital. I am a very technical person and have been servicing computers for over 15 years. I could provide direct/remote services to marketers in the following aspects: Hosting Setup, CMS (WordPress, Drupal, Joomla), module and script installations, software/OS troubleshooting, home network setup, etc. Basically anything technical related!

I've been looking through the WSO section but there is just so much there to choose from and I haven't found anything that would benefit my current situation as most tactics take time to mature/get off the ground.

I know most are reluctant to share their success for fear of too much competition jumping on board, but if you would be so kind as to share with me a niche I can work with I would be forever grateful and at your service.

I know this sounds like a desperate attempt to have success handed to me on a silver platter, but I am truly stuck between a rock and a hard place.

    I would suggest you start offering a writing service and advertise it in your signature. Make 30 posts a day here which will not take long to get the word out. Go visit a few apt complexes during the and offer to clean up their dumpster areas in exchange for you to be able to recycle. Make a quick contract signing away your rights for them not to be liable if you get hurt.

    I have made $80-$120 a day doing that on the side in a 3-5 hour span. Go to Fiverr and offer writing services. When you get the money from your writing gigs start a service on the warrior forum.

    As far as the job side its best to contact the hiring manager directly and be ready to give the reason they should hire you in 20-30 seconds when you get a hold of them. Pm me if you need help with interviews because I have gotten all the jobs I have ever had on the spot by using a 3 step process.

    I'd suggest you look for a job in the brick and mortar world outside of IM because the chances of you building a business quickly and one that will support your lifestyle and pay your bills are very, very slim.

      Yes, you are absolutely right. It does take a lot of time and effort to build an online business, regardless of what you will read in some of the WSO threads here, but I think if I can find the right opportunity I could make some quick cash using PPC, YouTube or FaceBook. These marketing avenues allow you to get pretty much instant traffic.

      If anyone has a method that they would like to share, but don't want to do so in public, feel free to PM me!

        Dude, you do what you want. But rather than start another thread like this why don't you do a search of this great forum? There are literally thousands of threads similar to this one with every conceivable answer under the sun offered.

        Also remember that what you promote from Clickbank will take a while to build up to where they will pay you. It is not automatic that you will be paid in two weeks the first time.

        Shareasale and some CPA offers only pay out once per month. So you would likely not be able to collect in time, even if you did make sales.

        Check the threads mentioned, they have had a good number of ideas mentioned.

        When you can, post in warriors for hire section with what you can do. Someone may need some of your services.

        I live in a small town and graduates from High School usually have to move away to get work. I have a relative where he works - the business is in the process of going to a new owner. He won't have work here shortly. These are tough times.

        See if you can find a part time job, even if not a full time job this will help.

    I feel for you, man.

    But really, you need to get a job. Or start offering a service as much as you can, I mean 20+ hours a day you are going to need to work and I don't mean 20 hours at the computer browsing WF and such. You need to be doing actual work like article writing, backlinking etc.

    IM takes time, it's just the way it is.

      Get on Iwriter.com, pronto.

      You will make enough to pay your rent in two weeks, if you start NOW!

      Good luck.

    Look for design work or any other work you have the skill in.

    Try problogger's job board, craigslist, and warriors for hire here.

    Apart from that, I'd be active in the forum here and advertise your services in your sig. I'd also write a few articles and comment on some blogs and link back to a money source.

    Don't stop looking for a job either.

    You can create some fiverr gigs. Just look at the top gigs on each category and try to offer the same type of gigs with an added bonus.

    But I agree, try to get some part time job in the day time and work on IM at night. It could be a few months before you see decent money coming in.
