Badly Need Help - Need at least $500 right away

Dear Fellow Warriors,


I have a situation here and I badly need help. I thought this would be the best place to ask for it.


Here's my situation:


I was making some decent money off affiliate marketing and own products and had a healthy amount just withdrawn to my paypal account two days back.


Problem is, the same day I got my money in paypal someone asked for a refund against one of my products. The customer actually lodged a paypal dispute but by the time I came to know about it, my paypal account was already on hold.


I emailed the customer, but got his gmail autoresponder saying he'd be back in a week. I emailed Paypal but no response so far.


I read and found that Paypal issues usually take around a month to resolve.


Here's the biggest problem - I'm supposed to pay an installment for my camera May first week and all my money is locked up.


I'd get an adsense check beginning next month but by the time I'd have the money it'd be too late to pay my installment.


Is there any FAST Method that could help me get at least $500 within the next couple of days without me having to invest ANY MONEY AT ALL? Because I don't have any money to spend until paypal resolves the issue.


Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

    Nope.

    Find something to sell, do some work for the neighbours, borrow it off family. You have three weeks until the beginning of May. If you already have an adsense cheque coming in you must know that this business doesn't work in a day or so with no investment.

    $500 for a camera instalment? It's some camera!

    With out Paypal you are in a tough spot. Look for the thread "What to do if you're desperate" in the Main forum.

    Get off the W.F. after reading and look for a job. Sorry to hear about your problem.

    Oh that's bad. Are you sure Paypal would take a month to resolve the issue? I hope they do it faster.

    But, in the meantime here's what you could possibly do.

    1. You mentioned you have an adsense account and it seems its not new because you are expecting a payment. So, I guess you have some writing skills? Because old adsense account holders usually applied and got approved through personal blogs.

    I don't know about your case, but if you have some writing skills head over to iwriter . com and start taking up projects there. The basic ones pay very low, but once you have 30 good reviews you move to the next level and its not that difficult.

    Its free to get into so you should have any issues and there are always a good number of orders available,so you would have some steady work. Just keep "quality" in mind.

    Now, iwriter also pays by paypal, so you'd need a working account (someone at your home to workplace could help).

    Look for the Dragon NS software and see if you can get a copy of it. That would make it faster for you.

    2. Do you have a CPA account? If you don't then apply for one showing your adsense and affiliate sites. Getting in is not that difficult. You can try Peerfly.

    Once you have an account, head over to FB and look for groups that might be interested in the CPA products. Free to download products should work well.

    Create a site around the CPA offers and the join the FB groups and share your site. CPA networks won't allow you to promote affiliate links on FB, but if you bring the traffic to your site where your offers are hosted, its okay with them.

    With some hard work and luck you should be able to get into the bimonthly payment threshold.

    Iwriter and CPA together should be able to give you some financial relief, especially since you have around a month's time in hand.

    3. Fiverr: Create a gig on fiverr about something you are good at and pray you get some fast orders.

    I hope that helps.

    That's a tricky one. I guess that if you have had some experience with making money online; you could teach other people, or offer some sort of coaching, or something?

    You could also do work for other people on freelancing sites. I know that's probably what you want to hear, but it seems that you are in a bit of a pickle

    Do you have a database you can email for sales? PayPal Database? If you do, set up some sort of JV with another vendor or warrior if they will and do a mailing for them. Just brain storming...

    Warriors... a little more help here on brain storming for Melissa if you could. I know there are some smart ones on here.

    Here is the thread I guess DWolfe mentioned.

    I don't think you are in a position to start from scratch. Since you were already making some decent money off affiliate marketing, that means you probably have some sort of website, traffic or list or all of them. If I were you I would try to approach someone in this industry, possibly someone on the forum, and try to make a short term partnership in which you would allow them to use your assets (website, traffic, list, whichever you have) and share the profits and send you via a bank deposit since you can't use PayPal. Other than that, I would try to offer some services if you have skills in any area. Maybe you can write a report about how you are making decent money with affiliate marketing and partner with someone and sell as a WSO but that's a cheap advice. In this case, you will need a bank deposit from your partner to your account after the launch since PayPal is not an option. That is, unless you offer a service and take payments as check/bank deposit.

    Why did you not phone them as this is such a serious issue for you?

    Don't know about that...

    So why do you need it in the next few days, you have almost a whole month to come up with the money?

    If you know you are getting enough from adsense to cover the installment why not ask a friend/family for a short term loan?

    Don't know why this "Fast, Easy way to make money" question is asked so often, don't you think if there was such a way for someone with zero money, nobody to JV with, no mega list etc.it would be common knowledge by now..

    Sorry your story does not make sense to me...
