-You can sell your collectibles or valuables you no longer want to classified ad sites like the penny saver,greensheet,etc. I have a friend that sells under the table on greensheet and makes a consistent minimum of $6,000 per month very quickly.the only problem to not choose craigslist because of the very shady people who want to buy and then rob you.

-You can also learn about reputation marketing for businesses,create a report for the businesses your targeting and then send them an email with the summary of your report and the rank they are in on the search engines,etc and offer that service to them.It's residual if you offer them the service on a monthly basis.they can also pay you a front up fee of at least $1000 on the low end on that same day.since businesses are hurting,this wouldn't be a bad idea to target the desperate.

-you can market credit card affiliate programs that have to deal with people who were recently in a bankruptcy and want a second chance at getting a credit card.This is a huge buyers market and one i'm doing right now.

-constantly increase your learning abilities and skill sets because the more you learn,the more your more valuable to others and you'll get money lightning fast.

-cut your costs down and i'm talking about going out to eat,entertainment,drinking alcohol,luxury amenities,and be conservative on your food choices.grow your own food.don't use air conditioning all the time.open the windows at night.etc.

-most important of all would be to move in with a family member that lives in a great area with opportunity and have an above average income demographic if you can.you may have to do jobs you don't like but remember it's only temporary and not like your going to do that for the rest of your life.

-always be positive in a negative environment.mindset is really important if your desperate for money.avoid be around people who are negative and who will not encourage or push you to do better.negativity emotion is useless right now and you don't need that feeling because you have more important things to do.listen to self improvement audio programs like tony robbins to get you pumped up.

-Constantly brainstorm for ideas and read many books and useful subjects that you can use preferably marketing and business so you can use these skills in 24hrs and make money.you can also buy accelerated learning courses to learn more and scale up on that.I know many people hate reading and they wonder why their struggling and poor.reading is very important for success.

-Networking is extremely important and would be my number one pick on this list.if your shy then your going to have to suck it up and get out of your comfort zone.join the chamber of commerce if you can and network your skills to other businesses,join clubs that has to do with businesses.use social media like linkedin and ryze to get gigs.get yourself involved with high class people and not the poor people who will be no help to you.

- If you have kids who need a job and they live in california in the riverside county area.there is a program called Empower Youth Center who will give your children of agea 16-21 job skills etc.sadly to say but your going to have to train yourself to do things.

-Work smart and hard and you'll get money.I would mind letting you know that it's great to learn NLP,covert hypnosis,black ops hypnosis,mentalism in your conversations with people to get them to like you and offer you unexpected opportunities.

-I strongly recommend you desperate people to buy a priceless course called "Social Supremacy Blueprint" to get more opportunities after you start making decent money to get yourself involved with extremely wealthy people who are willing to help you out,give you free trips from around the world, get high quality friends,business opportunities from high powered billionaire CEO's,and many business opportunities.I tried this out and within 3 months I was given $50,000 from a guy to help me out with my business.I eventually paid him back once I made a steady flow of income but you desperate people get the point.It pays off to eliminate the poisonous people in your lives that weigh you down.It's time for a new social circle of people who are your true friends.

For newbies the best advice is to provide a service to make money online (email writing, graphics, installing wordpress sites, etc)

Here's why? Most of the skills(Adcopy, persuasive marketing, etc) required to sell products online require lots of time to develop.

Even the popular opinion is against PTC (Paid To Click)/GPT (Get Paid Click) sites, for someone in a tight spot I will recommend mobile ptc. Since this is a fairly new development, the payouts are a lot better than traditional ptc or gpt and there really are a ton of them. I have been involved in mobile gpt and ptc for over an year now and I couldnt recommend it enough, in fact it is very easy to make 6 to 10 dollars every day with an hour or two put in.

I simply praying to my GOD, and then my GOD removing the problems He gave to me. It is unlike what the commons human imagination showed, it ran normally, like you will know what to do, you get a positive mind, become more passionate or the condition become easier, but sometimes, magic is happened. Trust The TRUE GOD, that's the easy way to get rid of our problem.

I think the best thing to do when you are in a tight spot is just simple manual labor. Go from door to door asking if you can help out with any chores like mowing the lawn or cleaning rain gutters, etc. Not only will you be able to collect cash on hand but you could create a steady business out of it as well. Never underestimate the power of manual labor!

We all have been there at some point of time in our marketing lives. I believe that "he who quits never wins and he who wins, NEVER QUITS". Sometimes we make things harder than they usually are by not setting attainable goals. Instead, we look at other internet experts and guru's and aspire to be where they are so much, that we forget that we have to sometimes lose a bunch of little times to get that one big win or break through.

I had to do this to myself, 1st I took a long look at where I was and where I wanted to be. I had to "keep it real" with myself and see if I was really giving it 110% on mastering one thing at a time verses being just ok, or knowing enough to just get by. Then I rededicated myself to the very reason why I started internet marketing in the first place. Before I was pregnant & long before I wanted to start a family, I always told myself I wanted to be home with by baby & not have to miss out on the little precious moments away at work. Plus, I wanted to be able to afford the things that regular folks can't afford or have to work long hours in order to get it.

Now don't get me wrong, there is NO SHORT CUTS TO SUCCESS, and that's why most marketers fail left and right because they think they can just be blessed with a turn key system and boom... their on their way.

Your gonna have to dedicate some serious time into researching whats new, because times are always changing, have a great student mentally and implement what you've learn. If you should not get the results your looking for on the 1st run, stop and look at what you did good 1st. Then implement the good strategies again on the second run & input a new strategy to replace the mistakes you made the last time.

Last but not least attitude equals your altitude. Don't throw a big pity party for yourself, think positive hold the idea of winning in your mind and just... keep at it.

Are you finding yourself spinning in circles trying to find the best free upfront offer for you business?

When you are desperate, the worst thing to do is to take action. Why? Because your frame of mind is negative and you will then to make mistakes after mistakes.

So when you feel desperate, DON'T take physical actions. Instead, get away from it all and calm your mind. Get inspired again through positive thoughts and talking to positive people. Ideas will come and that's when you take inspired action.

When you are desperate, don't take actions!

This happened to me last year. I was doing well for 3 straight years online then everything seemed to collapse all at once. Truth is I put too many eggs in one income basket and when the Goog slapped my money sites silly most of my income was gone overnight almost. What did I do? I got a job... for a while until I was able to get back on my IM feet. Guys, the "real" world is tough! They expect results!

Here's my contribution:

1) Sell stuff you don't need. Yes, you have TONS of stuff you don't need. Set up a garage sale or contact some friends about the products you're selling.
2) Cut down your expenses. List down what your daily expenses and determine a realistic amount for daily expenses. And then, stick to it.
3) Get a job, and another one. IM and online services are great but they may not pay as quickly as some odd jobs. Go for small, local, family owned businesses that need help. You'll need to work hard, and be physically exhausted, but it will get you by.

In all of this, I guess a positive state of mind helps. : )

Whenever I'm low on cash or I need it in my hands within a couple hours...I go to local yard sales and pick up things like ps2's with games, cameras, Plasma tvs...anything electronic and I take it to the flea market in my area and I flip it...one time I bought a PS2 with 10 games for 10 bucks at a yard sale and flipped it and made $50 that same day...so it's totally possible...

Here are a couple sites I use to find yard sales in my area:

yardsalesearch[dot]com <-- I mainly use this one

craigslist

[Insert City/State] + Yard sale on FB.


yardsaletreasuremap.com/

Oh, also there are some "Swap" websites so you have to check those out too. I haven't personally but I do know some friends that have.

Also, some subdivisions may have a community yard sale throughout the year...depending on the neighborhood they could have some pretty good stuff.

Don't forget to take action you guys...it's taken me a longgg time to finally start taking action and it's a lot easier to do once you hang in there long enough.

Sorry about my run on sentences lol

You only need a good idea in order to start something. There are online places to get investments or loans, especially for those in the US, and you can always check the JV section here.

I have 15+ years of experience & millions of visitors (I'm also a warrior since 2002)!

If you have a PayPal account and want to make some short term cash, you can be a user tester at User Tester. You will get paid $10 for each review and each review takes 20 minutes. Based on your location and demographic, you could qualify for a lot of reviews....Good Luck!

Being desperate not always bad....
In internet marketing....there is always a chance that we have gone through many frustrations along the line, when trying to make any money online....that becomes desperation...when we don't get the goal, which we have in our own imagination....

I just want to say to all those who are in desperation....that this phase is a normal mile stone..which comes in the pathway to almost all internet marketers....99% won't find their way...until & unless they have crossed this milestone by themselves....

So, be happy that you have reached to a very important destination in your own internet marking success journey.

At this stage only...

You will realize many hidden gems within your own pocket...which you have not seen until now....you don't have anything... which is going to save you now...you have to trust on the things which you have acquired in your own journey...

Become still...give...a day or two...become thoughtful...

now...What...

Focus on your thoughts on one thing...which you enjoy doing....within the internet marketing arena...specialize in that aspect of the job...become the best...and then give your best while serving others whether in the form of service or by products to someone who need them badly.....

You will become successful...and that it almost certain....

Again remember one thing...desperation is a very healthy sign.....you are among...top 1-2% of the population who are desperate in something positive....

Be Desperate...for Success...Be Successful.

Best of Luck....From...
Vikash

Would love to hear if anyone has any thoughts.

Will check out some of these other responses in the mean time.

About 5 years ago when I have no money to start make money online. I go to e-book marketplace on DP, find high converting e-book and ask free copy review from the seller. After giving my honest review, now I have some germs in my hands with no cost.

I went to my local forums, selling thread that will help translate the language about the e-book that hot in marketplace. Some people can't read English well, so my service is very helping a lot for them to get the info from the e-books.

I also ask some established member to get testimonies of my translate efforts.

The results, I got $60 on my pocket and till now I never doing translate things anymore, because my local grammar is not good either

With $60 can do so much like buying domain, hosting, themes, etc. Enough to kickstart my business to roll again.

Thanks for that $60 I think keep me survive till now.

Just for you to know about 5 years ago there's no fiverr, so I think this present time should be a lot more easy to doing something when you are desperate.

Someone mentioned data-entry. Yes, you can make money doing data-entry, but unless yo live in a 3rd-world country, the income is unlikely to be good enough. I've done a lot of outsourcing of data-entry, and pay about 20 cents an hour for reasonably good work. So if you work 10 hours, you make 2 dollars. That is a living wage in some parts of the world, but probably not in the US

Also mentioned was writing. That pays a lot better, around $10 an hour for good English and good writing, so can definitely be a realistic income. However, work can be hard to find because there are a LOT of people who can do it, so you are likely to have to start by offering great work for less money, then once you've got lots of positive feedback, raise your prices to the standard. Still, that can be realistic, if you work at it.

One tip on getting writing work . . . put up a writing Gig on Fiverr, and you might get an occasional bit of work, even if yours is better value than most, BUT, continually scan the "wanted"s on fiverr and make a very rapid and personal reply to anyone looking for writing, and you can be sure to find work within a couple of hours.

My advice if you are in a really tight crunch would be to first go on craigslist and search for gigs. Look in computers and labor gigs to get yourself some now money. If that doesn't work you will need to post some of you belongings for sale to get some cash.

I would then sign up for clickbank and start promoting affiliate offers with a youtube channel. Cloak your affiliate link with bitly.

Do some market research on what you are passionate about and use google keyword planner to find keywords you target audience is searching for.

Then make a separate youtube video for each search term and teach your viewer how to solve that specific problem with the affiliate product you are marketing.

You can also do product reviews with youtube videos and be sure to put a call to action to click the link in the video description which will be the cloaked affiliate link.

Another thing you can do reviews on are amazon products. Sign up for the amazon affiliate program and search for any products you currently own and do a review on it and tell viewers they can find the product on amazon by clicking the link in the video description.

Hope this helps anyone in need to get started online.

If you are dead broke starting off don't count on making a lot of money fast online. You need to treat it as a business and build it up so try to find a job to make you money that you can live off of while you build up your online business.

Brad

Please don't - it makes it look like you're marketing in this thread, which I'm still not convinced isn't the case. If so, pretty cold to pull such a tactic in the most desperate thread on the forum.

Also, are you responding to someone's post when you say?:

In desperate straits, I gave this a shot - wow! Thanks.
Because you've haven't given us any clue what you're talking about until about until we got to the book title you mentioned. Always helps to quote the person you're talking to. There have been quite a few different strategies mentioned in this thread.

Gave this a shot, and it worked . . . really worked!

Tried to give details here, but laptop hiccupped and lost it all.

In rural area, with peanuts as startup, I gave it a go - and succeeded.

Long story short:
5 days preparation, 5 days marketing = ÂŁ4299.66 Gross Sales
After overheads & Tax = approx. ÂŁ2000.00 Profit. Total Time Required: 16 days.


Business now, 3 years on, giving me good income and paid off substantial debts.

I also sell it on as a 'Franchise' idea, at very low cost .


Again - Thanks

I aplogise to the Warrior who thought I was marketing. Those who know me, know I always try to contribute help and advice.

I would have detailed the step-by-step process here, but my computer's misbehaving.

Apologies if I offended. Original reply removed.

Now where did I put that pencil?

My suggestion:

Sit down with a pad and set a goal. Then break that goal down into 10 mini-goals. Start with that first mini-goal. Today.

If you are really desperate and need "money quick", what I do, go to search all webmaster sites and forums that have classified ads where people are looking for jobs done. This can go very fast, like finding someone who needs a site done, writing jobs etc.

I wasn't meaning to criticize you for contributing. Your post came across as spam. The random, enthusiastic reply to someone without a quote just made it taste moreso that way. I realize my reply was a bit brash and has put you on the defensive, but I think if you go back and read the initial post with an open mind you can see why it came across that way.

That said, I sincerely apologize if I judged it incorrectly.

As far as my own contribution, I do believe I've posted in this thread already quite some time ago, when it was still new, though I could be mistaken.

I will try to find the time when I wake up to review and if I haven't put in my two cents already I'll do so. Cheers and congrats on your success.

When you are desperate, you MUST change your mind-set to change how you are projecting yourself to those around you. No ONE is attracted to desperation! You attract what you are, Period.

My BEST suggestions on how to change your mind-set are to tap into hypnotherapy to re-program your subconscious mind to "Get Right with Money"

Something that worked well for me a few years ago....

Buy your local newspaper, wait for 1 week, then call on the items for sale that you think you could resell on ebay or in a garage sale etc and make silly offers.

If the item is still for sale after 1 week, the seller has often resigned themselves to not selling, and is more likely to accept a low offer.

It's simple. First, make a list of what services you can offer.

-Are you a good writer?

-Do you know how to write sales copy?

-Are you good at designing/graphics?

etc.

Then:
If you have $20, open up a Warrior Forum Warriors for Hire thread and advertise your service. Give out a couple of free review 'copies' to kick start it.

Don't have $20? Offer the service on Fiverr or some of the other free platforms. Once you earn $20, invest it into a WF thread.

Cheers and good luck!

Jan

I think the best solution is to try and work as a freelancer. It may not be a quick way to earn money, but it can be a durable and a safe one.

I am reading this thread and realize I was in this situation couple of months ago. This is how I did it.

Stage 1: I discontinue all my phone service and started using Google Voice, set up Google voice for me and my wife. Save me and my wife $80 month.

Stage 2: I was checking Craigslist for free giveaway stuffs and reselling it on eBay, the pain was that I got stuck with paypal waiting for 21 days to access money for three months. You can find it of For Sale --> Free section.

Stage 3: Stage 2 actually open my eyes, I went to junk yard to parking and droping any metals and materials on the trash days and the free items on Craigslist. This change my life to achieve my dreams of becoming Entrepreneur. I was getting paid cash daily and it is "Legally Tax Free" but check with your state since there are 50 States with different state law. You earning must be reported to IRS

Stage 4: I was able to use my previous skills to build myself an affiliate website domainvale.com with wordpress, if anyone is interested. I will be happy to build it for free for someone in my previous condition must be able to prove that you are going through hardship time.

Stage 5: It was a bitter experience, but I thank God for upholding me. If I can do it, I strongly believe you are better off.

I will encourage anyone in that situation to be bold enough to take the giant step, and pray without season because with "GOD" all things are possible.

I want to others opinion. Thanks to the Warrior that started this conversation.

I was actually in a "desperate" situation not too long ago! Literally lost everything--my home and my cars. Had to move back in with the inlaws with my twin girls and hubby--it was only a 2 bedroom home so me and my husband had to sleep outside in an old rusted out RV just for some privacy. It was out in the middle of the STICKS--hundreds of miles away from the nearest city. I barely even got phone reception there.

I stumbled across the Bob Ross 9x12 system--and got a $450 payment into my paypal just 2 days later...shortly after I had made a nice couple thousand dollar profit.

I would say ANYONE who wants to start putting cash in their bank account asap--should sell direct mail to local businesses.

Hi guys,

Here are my thoughts....

Depends on your skill set but you could use a site like Tuteable.com - they basically connect people who have problems or want to learn a new skill to experts who can provide help. The experts are all paid for their time so they are able to charge the learner a set price for an hour of their time.

That's 1 option.

Then there are sites like skillshare and Udmey which allow you to create courses and sell them online - this is also a good way to leverage your skills.

Hope that helps!

I would say the toughest thing about being in a desperate situation, is that it's hard to think clearly. It's at that time where you would be most vulnerable to the next shiny object or the next "make a few hundred by tomorrow" offer.

The whole paradox is that if you can just stay focused long enough to master a method or two on how to really make money online (since there are so many ways), then that would get you out of trouble.

But depending on your level of experience and situation, if there isn't time to learn marketing, then freelancing is the quickest way to go.

Hello everyone,Im still new to all this so bear with me. If I was super broke and needed cash ASAP,my first stop would be Facebook.You can punch in online flea market or online garage sale followed by your area.The FB market is mostly women,but if you have clothing,toys,baby stuff,car seat,stroller,etc,you can turn and burn really fast on there. Craigslist would be my next stop where I would list 20,30 or 40 smalls like CDs,DVDs,Books,etc. Next is old faithful for me here in Baltimore,the flea market.I get free stuff from craigslist,everything from clothing and shoes to big back tvs and more. Hope that helped!!

I'll give one more idea, make a Keynote or Powerpint presentation and sell your or affiliate product at the end just upload it as VSL or webinar and get some solos and see if you can get it convert if you feel it's good start optimizing by split testing.

Your subconscious is like a search engine. You tell your subconscious; "I need a great plan to make X amount of dollars in X amount of time"; and you completely trust your subconscious?

It will give you the answer.

It sounds crazy, but it's worked wonders for me; you have no idea.

PS: it does take a lot of mental training, reading, and meditation to get to that level.

Fastest and easiest way to make money online is to sell on eBay. Anyone can do it and you could easily generate $300 a month doing that. It is stupid easy lol

I would sell on Amazon before going with eBay. I'm an ex-powerseller and things have changed so much on eBay that I use it as a last resort or to get rid of things that I can't sell elsewhere. If you're a new eBay seller your money will be held until the buyer has confirmed delivery.

Amazon will place a hold too, but it's more predictable than eBay. You can start with books. If you have a smart phone you can find apps that allow you to scan the bar codes and see what the book is selling for on Amazon before you even buy it. I found an old hand-bound book that was selling on Amazon for $800 - $2000. The book cost me $1.50 at a second hand store. I decided to hold onto it though for a collectible, but I routinely find books for a couple bucks that sell for $20-$50
