Dear Santa, I Need Cash for Christmas!

5 replies
...But I'm not sure how to get it. Nobody understands what I do. They all think I've got my head in the clouds with this IM stuff and that I need to get a "real" job. I LOVE IM, but the truth is, I'm not making as much as I'd like to right now. I really want to earn enough this season to spoil my family and friends (and show them once and for all that IM is BETTER than a real job!).

Could you please post your best ideas for earning some quick Christmas cash? I could sure use 'em! (And I'm sure my Warrior friends could too.)

Oh, and please say Hi to Rudolph and Mrs. Claus for me!

Love,
Michelle

    This thread has some great ideas: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...desperate.html

    I also know exactly how you feel (as a lot of people here can also relate) - IM can potentially outweigh a "real job" by a thousand fold... unfortunately, relying on IM to "kick in on time" is risky.

    My only suggestion would be to leverage your time. Whatever you're doing now, find ways to do things more efficiently. Then, include something new - whether it be services, new WSO, whatever - brainstorm, get organized, and get going.

    I also just noticed you're not yet a War Room member - there's a great start.

      Thanks for the tip MoneySoapBox.

      The post was somewhat tongue-in-cheek and not necessarily specific to me. I meant it as a representative post for many Warriors here -- a letter to Santa many Warriors might write.

      But you're right: that other thread is a great one. Thanks for linking to it!

      P.S. Not that I don't need it too, because I do.

        What do *I* do?

        I'm a copywriter, but have been more focused on creating/selling my own products than writing for others. I've done copywriting for Warriors in the past, but it's been quite a while.

        Actually, I've been on hiatus from IM for several months for personal reasons. I'm just coming back to it and am just playing around on the WF for now. If I get a good idea or two in this thread, great! But I'm not going to push too hard on IM for right now. (I've been dealing with a MAJOR case of burnout due mostly to the nature of my day job and partially to taking on too much with my day job, school and IM. I'm slowly coming back, but for now, I'm just playing on the WF.)

        As I just posted, my original post was meant to be a representative post for many Warriors here. I just thought it would be fun to see what Warriors would come up with since I know there's always a need for extra cash during the holidays.

        Hope that explains it!

        Ah... that's what happens when it's 2 AM

        I think we should all ask Santa for that magical ebook where we get tons of moneys as soon as we hit "Buy Me! Buy Me!" XD
