Got Laid Off Today. What To Do Now?

8 replies
Hi fellow warriors,

I just joined a whole bunch of other Americans who have been laid off recently. Just doing a search today, jobs are scarce in my profession which is an office manager. I need o find work quick because my mortgage is due within the next 10 days.

I would run a WSO but have extra funds for this.

I am proficient in setting up websites, autoresponders, blogs, plus a lot more.

I can work as a virtual assistant in doing numerous tasks.

Here is a list of what I can do for you:

Here are some of the skills that I can offer to any one who needs a virtual assistant:

- Setup an autoresponder and load with content
- Setup up a minisite with sales letter and payment link plus thank you pages.
- Setup a blog with any plugins necessary and and add content spread over time
- Answer emails
- Write and send emails to a list.
- Submit website to directories
- Submit articles to directories
- Research
- Plus miscellaneous tasks.

Now, I know you don't know me from Adam, but what I can say is I do know my way around a computer and how to use the Internet.

I am consistent and timely. PM me by letting me know what you need done and I will get it done for you right away.



I am also looking into helping businesses offline get an online presence.

How would I go about doing this?

Like I said, I can build websites and get traffic to them. My problem has been in conversion.

Is there a certain way to approach these offline business owners?

Not looking for a handout, looking for guidance.

I'll work at McDonalds if I have to, but I will wait till next week before I go that route. It is something I don't want to do, but you have to do what you need to do to survive.

Thanks.

Christian

    Probably not within the next 10 days. Get a temp assignment to pay your mortgage in the short term.

    I don't know what your rate is, but I can actually use some help. Shoot me a PM.

    Christian...

    What I don't understand is why you want to go to work for someone as an office manager when you know technology, can build websites and drive traffic? (...study conversion in your spare time.)

    The only other things you need are courage and confidence. There are a thousand people here who can show you how to capitalize on those skills.

    GO FOR IT! Mortgage be damned. It's not likely that anybody is going to hire you fast enough to pay your mortgage next month, anyway.

    All the best,

    Jack

      Put together some mini-site templates, blog templates, review site templates, PLR article packs, etc. and run WSOs for them.

      Also, if you can put up sites and get traffic to them, then get going on some affiliate promotions.

    The chances of making significant amounts of money in 10 days if you're not experienced in doing so already is too slim to risk missing bills. Find another job ASAP, even if it's below what you were doing before, while you look for a real replacement job and start working on the online business.

    Hi Christian,

    I'm sorry to hear that something like that happened to you.
    Whilst the advice given here is legitimate to first find another
    job ASAP, if you still want to try using online methods to
    make some money, here's a thread that might interest you.

    Hope it helps.

    Take care,
