    Man that's like kicking someone when their down.

    To the OP, it's a long shot and maybe IM isn't the best way to go if you're brand new to this stuff, it does take time and plenty of mistakes.

    If your friend can think of any services he could offer.. skills that he has which others would be willing to pay for..

    He could sell a high priced item as an affiliate, he'd only need to sell a few to hit the target, but he'd also be pretty lucky if he did.

    Offer an article writing service. Make him write effectively and quick, have him do backlink services, have him do link wheel services.

    He can do all that and make the 2k quick. It'll be many hours of boring work but if someone really needs it, he will do it.

      Would your friend happen to be you? lol.
      no it is actually a friend - we live in australia and he has not done taxes for 4 years so gets no govt help and has only earnt 500 in 2 weeks yet worked about 90 hours for it

      Although I have earnt $3000 in a night using facebook. But obviously I'm not gonna share how I did haha - if you dont want to share your method then fine but it doesnt make you look any good to other forum members or myself and do you think it will help you with your reputation when you post a wso - i might not buy it because of the way you worded it

      thanks guys for your tips so far

        If you and your friend are in Australia, I would suggest paying a regular tax agent, like H&R block or something to get the 4 years back-taxes done. Once they're lodged, your friend can apply for Housing Commission assistance on bond and rent in advance with no problems. Your friend doesn't have to repay the bond until the time you move out of that rental property.

        Get the back-taxes done. Problem solved.

    If you need quick cash. Sell things you already have. Use craigslist and eBay for quick sales. Sell a computer. A tv. Then use Im to make the money to get stuff you want back later on. It can take time. There's no quick cash gurantee.

    If either you or your friend actually have good skills you can potentially make that much money in 2 weeks. It is time to head offline.

    Start hitting up small business owners with how you can promote their businesses for them, and give them a better presence online. You can request 50% upfront, and if you are decent at proving your value to them, you have a fair shot at getting $2000 of up front money landed in a couple weeks.

    You are going to need to work your tails off.

      The best advise I can offer is to sit your friend
      down, and get him to make a list of all the things
      he does well. It doesn't matter if they hate some
      of the items on that list right now.

      Then come back here with that list so we can work
      on a proper plan. It's pointless people offering advise
      if the suggestions require a level of skill.

        It's sad that your friend is in bad financial position.

        If he can write quality articles, then he can make it with overtime.

        Otherwise, he can sell some of his stuff on eBay.

        You are advising someone NEW to IM to take money from people - and then what? Learn in a couple days HOW to do what they promised to do?
        Do you think someone with no experience in SEO, etc can explain what they will do to smart business owners who will quickly write a check?

        If you have done nothing online - have no presence online (sites/blogs) - have no reputation or product online - you are not going to make $2000 in a week in your first week.

        Saying someone can do it leads to more unrealistic expectations of IM. It's threads like this that make others think making money online can be on demand when you need money - even though you have no idea what to do first and no knowledge of IM.

        The old "write articles" response assumes someone can write - and knows how to use keywords, etc. To earn $2k writing, the person would need to write 200-400 articles in a week...and find enough customers instantly to order that many articles from an untested writer. It won't happen!

        Guys we should give positive responses about who's in need.
        There is nothing good that comes from telling people they can do the impossible. It doesn't make it possible just because someone posts "you can do it". Sometimes the truth is better than just helping someone dream.

        The idea that you could come up with a "plan" for $2k in one week for a total newbie - is not logical. If that were possible - people would come into threads like this and tell how they did it, wouldn't they?

          There are many ways to make 2k---The question is not the method,
          but the action your friend puts into making it happen.

          Your friend should also consider offline. What talents and skills can he
          turn into cash? Does he have anything that can be sold? Also can you
          loan your friend some money to help get him et started?

          Maybe a combination of the above:
          -5 friends could loan him a couple hundred each = $1000
          -Sell all he can sell----maybe $500
          -Do work for people. Like yardwork, house fixes.....

          Your friend can scrape up the money with multiple ways!

      For the first week i would sit down with a pack of cards and memorize the cards in harmony and complete serenity listening to Metallica, then i would take myself to the casino and play in a low buy-in poker tournament and will accomplish first place, due the high amounts of Redball.

      Now, its not over until the fat lady sings so you take your winnings and play in the poker cash games, the sound of ka ching is ringing as many will fail to beat your pocket aces. People are more vulnerable after a few on the table, so get out there and start bullying. Rinse and repeat.

      My worst advice ever.

      But seriously people make thousands playing poker.

    Here we go;
    Paul Myers' post: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-internet-marketing-discussion-forum/142737-what-do-if-youre-desperate.html

    If the post is not helpful, tell your friend to visit his bank and apply for a $2,000 loan OR beg family members, relatives to help him out.

    This is strictly my personal opinion and I hope it helps.

      I have not seen any negative response so far. Maybe I'm not seeing what you are seeing. Maybe I need to go get binoculars.

      As for your suggestion, writing articles will not give him $2,000 in 7 days! Lets be realistic.

    'Every penny he'll ever get HAS to come from someone else', begging aside leaves SELLING something

    Internet Mktg lets him sell something and also keep it, allows him to sell other people's 'stuff' as well.

    I know these are obvious basics, but some people need reminding.

    Online or offline. Figure what he is really dam good at or can do (constructions, handy work, web design, anything). Get a contract that will pay 2K down at start of it.

    Goto
    - Classified (Craigslist. Backpage)
    - Outsource Sites (elance, rent a code, odesk)
    or even here

    Cheers,

    PS - Now if your friend does this and finishes the work nicely, he may have found a new way to make some money ...good luck

    Thank you Glenn and Kay.

    As mentioned, some of these ideas are unrealistic. If someone needs to come to a marketing forum and ask how to make money, then they are in NO position to advise others about IM.

    And also as mentioned, we can't advise someone about how to make money without knowing anything about them (e.g., their skillset). Not everyone can write, so "write articles" isn't always the answer.


    ***

    Julie, what CAN your friend do? What are his skills? Can he do anything related to graphics, writing, programming, etc? If so, then I suggest he takes the initiative and join this forum. If not, put aside the idea of making $2k in a week without skills or experience.

    Don't limit yourself to thinking of online methods. He may have better luck going offline -- doing some manual labor tasks (even things like car detailing, yard work, etc). If he's friends with some people who have work available, they might trust him enough to advance his pay and then let him work it off in the coming weeks.

    Selling stuff on eBay or CraigsList is also a good idea, since almost anyone can do it (though those with good copy skills and those who have experience tend to command higher prices on similar items). If he's done this before, he might also consider helping friends and family sell their stuff online (i.e., consignment selling, where he gets a commission for selling their stuff).

    Yes, it is realatively easy, IF you can handle yourself in a professional fashion AND you take a few hours to learn the basics. The fastest way to $2k from a standing start, in my opinion, is offline marketing. Your "friend" can make $2k from 1 to 3 clients through simple services like seo, directory submission and USP development.

      Well, I'd be selling it in the WSO's myself.

      It's possible to make something, and if you had 2k to invest you could make more than 2k with some luck and an adwords crash course, but overall I agree with Kay.

      It's a shot in the dark - or better a shot into a vortex really. You might hit something but unless your friend has some amazing talent, skill, or something we can package up in a 24 hour report that will sell like hot cakes, he is really not going to find his money here. Not without previous skills, knowledge, and an amazing offer.

      This is not as easy as you imply, even with my
      experience with dealing with offline businesses.

        you could submit a 1000 articles to associatedcontent....

        (each article averages 2$)

        if you had one week that means 7 days.

        And we'll say you work through most of the nights so you're working for 17 hours a day. Thats

        7*17 = 119 hrs.

        So 1000/119 = 8.4

        So if he can write 8.4 articles an hour for the next week straight, then you've got yourself 2k haha.

        good luck.

        Well, I've been in dire circumstances and posting on a forum was not a priority.

        I do think his expectations of suddenly making 2000 in a week is totally unrealistic. The fact that he doesn't pay his taxes makes me wonder how he expects to run a real business. But, I'm not interested in dumping on someone who is down.

        My advice is this:

        Get a crappy job for the time being. Start tomorrow. Yes it's demeaning but it will give you a foundation and stability. Work on getting your life in order. Get focused and don't lie to yourself about your current situation. I've been homeless and it made my head spin as to how fast everything crashed down once I had no place to live. Save the pipe dreams for when you are at that crappy job and need them as a motivating carrot.

        Sorry if I sound preachy, but I can relate to what you are going through. Don't abandon your dreams, just get real about you need to do now.

        I discovered this place a few weeks ago and barely have made a dent in all of the great information. Right now, my focus is on learning, the money will come later.

    Clickbank, do your homework find some good selling products then setup some landing pages on a few domain names and then promote your new landing pages the best you can to drive traffic, this is not the fastest way sometimes especially if your new, but keep your head up high or tell your friend to and keep going at it, you may struggle and have several down falls to whatever method you choose but done give up ever YOU CAN DO IT and with the internet and the right knowledge there is plenty of people out there willing to pay for services or quality products you just have to know where to look :-)

    If your friend has a skill at doing something specific he can easily make money off of it. For me, it is relationship advice and tips.

    Figure out what it is he is good at and he can write an e-book in about 5 days if he really pushes himself. Then he can use paydotcom and clickbank to get marketers (or joint ventures on WarriorForum) to sell it for him.

    The best part is the fact that he can set his own price on his book.

    I definitely agree with the people on article marketing and selling things on Craigslist and Ebay. You will be surprised what you get for stuff laying around your house.

    Article marketing can be done with the freelancer websites. There are some that pay as little as $1/500 words and some as high as $10/500 words. See if your friend can get the ones that need lots of articles quickly. They should pay fast too!

      I would say it is almost impossible to make $2,000 in a week online for a total newbie. As someone else stated, your friend should be getting a job doing ANYTHING at this point. Short of begging and borrowing from other people, I don't see how you can make $2,000 in a week if you have never done this before.

    I've been in IM for a few months now (although it's just an evening part-time job) and have netted $1,800 and some change. There's A LOT to learn and you need to take action. Your friend should have started the day before the day before yesterday imo.

      Yeah, it took some time for me to see a decent income as well.

    Man I hate these threads. Although I have earnt $3000 in a night using facebook. But obviously I'm not gonna share how I did haha.
    Bad karma man. The nature of this site is to help others.

    A good Facebook model is to register for Facebook Ads and market Farmville Products from Clickbank to highly targeted traffic.

    This really is a rude comment. For a hundred different times.
    I don't know about you but I was raised to help others.

    To tell someone I can make $3000.00 but I want tell you is B.S.

    You need to go to another forum. When people are hurting, they
    ask for help.

    If you really could do this, get off your ass, and tell only the
    person who is asking for help, how to.

    Don't tell the rest of us. Help this person.

    I've kind of re-thought my stance on this...

    I can't give you a "$2000 in two weeks" method... but if you'd like I can give your buddy a guide I wrote that's for people just starting to make money on the internet. It's a long term solution but you can have it free if you like, no opt-in, no strings attached : ) Let me know what you think it's in my signature but disregard the prices because if you think it could be helpful in the long run, just let me know and I'll give you the download link.

    If not, best of luck to your buddy!

    Hi Julie,

    This might be heard a bit bitter, but sure-fire. Someone doesn't get what he/she wants but what he/she deserves.

    That 2k kung fu in a week is possible, but it is high-level kung fu. High level kung fu only can be done by well-trained body, and more important well-trained mind.

    If I were you, the best I can do is prepare for the best and ready for the worst. If this accommodation is so valueable, I would try to borrow for trustful person (stay away from trouble, untrustworthy person). If not, I would let it go and rent small room for me to live.

    Meanwhile, I would select the most effective and efficient WSO that suits me fit. Eventually, 2k per month would be piece of cake.

    As far as I knew, website flipping is the fastest way to make money online. It need start-up costs though - hosting, domain, content, listing. If you're native english speaker it would be a lot easier (and cheaper) to write content.

    Well, that's it. Just be faithful and sedulous.

    Write 200 articles and sell them for $10 each. Done.

    Is it possible to write 200 articles in a week?

    If he's really desperate.... hell yeah.

    Where to sell them?

    Here.

    Trust me, there are plenty of people looking for
    unique articles here.

    Go talk to some realtors who may have houses sitting on the market and need the yard or the place cleaned up. Offer your services to the highest bidder. See if there are people who need someone to do their yards, rake leaves, move items. You can advertise on Craigs' list to get some customers. Organize a car wash for charity, youcan do this in 2-3 days. Sell water and hotdogs soda and potato chips on the side. Give a certian percentage to the charity... Make sure you do this. But Get some Signs offering in and out car washing, I don't know what the costs is in your area but in CA, you could charge $10.00 easily. People also tip you. How many cars is that over a week end?

    Good luck to you and your friend... I hope it works out for you.

    Here's some of my suggestions for making money on/offline. Some are quick some take time. Tweak as you like and do what works for you (some do to initial investment won't be for you, but maybe in the future...).

    Make wholesale list and sell them on ebay. Find popular items and use alibaba to find where you can get them for wholesale. Be sure to contact each supplier yourself to see if they're legit. Check out their website to sniff out poor attempts to scam.

    Flip cars. Its not so much selling, but buying at a good price. Do your research and use kelly blue book to find the value. Find motivated sellers. Get the best price you can. Toyota and Honda makes do very well.

    Here's a section I took out a guide I wrote and was giving away free last year. How me and some college buddies make quick cash.

    1. Detailing Cars

    2. Jittney Cab. For a small donation we would take others from point A to point B.

    3. Airbrush Tattoos. This works great at parties, festivals, and flea markets.

    4. Wholesale club. We got together 20 others who were interest in buying 32" flat screens below retail. We found a supplier who would sell us them for $375 if we were to purchase a certain amount. We were usually able to even profit, charging a small fee for members to join our club.

    5. Mobile Oil Changer. A local mechanic and classmate of mines would close his shop and hit the parking garage downtown and change the oil of about 15 cars. At $15 bucks each, he'd spend a few hours in exchange for over $200. He did it three times a week in addition to
    fixing cars at his shop.

    6. Teach a class. A classmate came in with some incredible artwork on his sneakers. We wanted him to do some on ours. One peer asked if he could teach him how to do it, because he figured he'd save more money if he had multiple shoes he wanted designed. My classmate would demand a minimum of five students per class and charge $50 a head. The
    class lasted 90 minutes. He even made a cheat sheet for all his students and gave them access to his e-mail and phone number. He held classes every other Saturday and his enrollment continued to grow.

    7. Tutor. If you're good in a particular subject, parents will fall to their knees for you to help their sons and daughter to succeed (think about it, they get good grades and leave the nest).

    8. Concession cart. I've sold can sodas, water, and chips a 100% return. I had a cooler and a book bag. I'd walk around the park on a hot Atlanta day and cash in.

    9. Install Operating Systems. You'd be surprised how easy this could be. Have your client buy their operating system and charge like $20 for you to install. It'll take about 45 minutes. To learn how to do it (again it's super easy, the computer tells you what to do and when to do it) visit a local computer tech. Ask him questions and offer to bring in your own
    computer for an upgrade for his time.

    10. Make a movie. I study film at Georgia State. I love to make home videos for others. I usually charge a flat fee. I shoot and edit and give my client the final product. Easy money and I enjoy doing it. Plus I build my reel up for future clients to see.

    11. Make life easy for someone else. People will pay for their life to be just a little more easy. If you can figure out how to do that you'll be good as paid.

    Here's what i had to say to a post similar to yours

      You sure are (creating your own job) ...which is a trap within itself. Like I said before, its time to get a JOB until things get a little more stable, keep at it with the internet marketing, but don't make it your primary focus.

    The problem with using IM as a quick cash solution is that you need money to get started. You need "trial and error" money. I have never started a campaign that hasn't resulted in an initial loss. I am fairly new to the industry, and as someone who is fairly new I can tell you that there is too much to learn to turn a $2,000 profit in a week.

    Imma give you a real method to make $2k in a week.
    It will require work and a no B.S attitude...cant wast any time!

    Go to flippa.com...find a website for example...$2k, keep an eye out for that website and search the web to find buyers for that website and ask $4k for that website.

    Once you found a party interested in giving you $4000 for this website, take the money, purchase the website from flippa or wherever the site was listed and send the website to the guy who bought it from you.

    Its basically website brokering.

    I did it once and made a quick $4000 on a $12000 sale.
    You got to be able to sell and you might want to speak via the phone to gain more trusts because obviously people wont just send you $4000 and assume your COOL and legit.

    It requires work...it can be done!

      One time, somebody at work asked me if I knew how to convert VCR tapes to DVD. They offered me $200 to do a set of 8 family vacation tapes. It was an easy $200 since I had a VCR-to-DVD machine already handy.
      How about offering services like this? A lot of people still live in the stone ages and know little to nothing about electronics and computers and such. Many many people need help doing basic things. But you need to be able to offer a service first. Either that or go get yourself a job.

        And therein lies one of the problems with IM in general. It's perceived by many as a quick and easy road to untold riches. Wake up - realize you need some money - get into IM - cash the cheque before you go to bed at night.

        Truth is it can lead to a very comfortable living but it ain't push button simple and it certainly ain't quick. Elbow grease helps.

      I don't see how that's relevant.

      How will that solicit different or better advice?

      I think craigslist is the best bet for fast cash. I raised $1200 in a couple weeks last year selling stuff from my house.

    Seems like nobody's considering the possibility that the OP might just be kidding, which I think is more than likely. Either that or he really doesn't have a clue. $2000 in a week is a big deal and i'm willing to bet that at least 80% of all warriors haven't reached that limit yet.

    Sounds like a tough little deadline.

    Pull out all the stops.

    If your buddy needs to do this,
    he will do it.

    Maybe even if he needs to borrow from friends or family?

    I personally would make an info product and launch it on multiple forums...

    hi guys
    sorry been busy had alot going on - firend ha now got loan off family member for the money - although still needs a better paying job - i will give him some of the wsos that i have purchased so hopefully it will help - whilst he needs money now - as his income is really bad $500 for 90 hours work - commission only - if he learns how to market online he will eventually make a killing providing he does it right - he may be coming to live with me till he gets a house with his family - ill show him this forum as well hopefully he will get something out of it
    again thank you for all your help and i have already mentioned to him some of the ways you warriors have mentioned - although unsure if he would do stripping as he is married with kids

    1. Get a credit card and start an overdraft.
    2. Go to your bank and ask for a loan
    3. Ask your friends to each chip in

    Apart from that, you can try pay-per-lead + ppc programs, that is usually very quick but like every affiliate network you dont get paid until the month after.
