Seeking Guidance or a Mentor to show me around this portal of misinformation

5 replies
Hi everybody and firstly thanks, i have read a few of the posts actually just about enough to have convinced me this forum might be able to help.
Ok i am gonna blab on a little bit about me and what i am for so hopefully this will help the right person or people connect with me, i have been in and out of full time work for the past three years and am struggling to digest the idea of having to be part of the cattle, i also dislike the idea of working below someone strongly. I cant seem to hold a job down, and my last employer lied to me and promised me that i would be a manager for the local suit store i was working for, i decided great ill go and get a loan so i can get a car and invest in myself a little, cut a long story short the oddjob looking manager decided to sack me one month later.

To a certain extent i feel like God has been watching over me as the time that i have been away from work i have been sponging info left right and centre about marketing, designing, and blogging. I currently own the site 2012-media , and its main intent was to give information out on as many subjects as possible, my personality type does not allow me to stick to one subject, and im kinda like a jack of all trades. This site was to hopefully help people who are unemployed and looking for ways to earn an honest and decent living online, the ads were not placed on the site to try and earn money though it would be a bonus. They were simply there as reccomendations which i suppose advertsing is all about.

Everything you see on the site was done by me and although i have never completed a course on any subject to do with computing i feel like i have accomplished something of a high standard. Though i would love to improve on my writing skills as sometimes i dont get things out as i wish.

I am also in a dilemma, and really need some guidance. Right now i feel like i have the knowledge of the 5% but just cant seem to utilise this knowledge due to my lack of funds. After my redundancy i became quickly in debt, and now the solicitors are trying everything to take me to court for non payment. I have tried everything i can to get back into work but i just cant explain why a job has not come my way, maybe its due to the recession in England or maybe i prefer the idea of being my own boss.

My dilemma is that i have absolutely no dosh, no dollar dollar bill yo, no cream, no cheddar, no papes and its becoming very frustrating watching the opps go buy. I have this one domain which i owe payment for from over 2 months ago and am praying to God that they do not shut my only domain down. I need some guidance or a fellow aquaintance to possibly guide me on what i can do to start earning even part time money from the very little i do have. Even if nothing can be done, i will still be happy in the long run, as when i manage to get out of this mess i too will write a story about how a 22 year old went from bleaching numbers off a bus pass to marketing hero! I just hope someone will see my potential and decide that i have the ability make it in to the 5% nation and one day be teaching people exactly how to make millions online and decide to work beside me.

Right now everything is against me, my comp is having a mid life crisis, my car or microwave on wheels as i like to call it has just broken down, the domain could any minute get shut down for non payment, on the other hand, im a hard worker, i will not quit until i have made my first £100,000,000 a month lolol, i have quite an extensive knowledge of most things, i would say i have a good sense of understanding in regards to God and life, this is somewhat of a SOS CALL, & if anyone on the web deserves to be mentored or guided then the grammy has to go to me! I have hustled to hard and long now, and selling clothes from TK Maxx to customers for extra cash is just not cutting it anymore. I cant live on the welfare cheese no more, and right now need to take action!!!

Your help is highly appreciated and i hope someone will open the doors for another kin who is not quite there yet and take me on board to show me the ropes. There is just too much information out there, some very misleading and some which is illegal, i just cant afford to get into any trouble.

God Bless and warmest Regards

    Hello_All, lol, ok well i have learnt how to design logos and use graphic packages, i have learnt how to use wordpress and work with php to design a blog, i believe i have learnt some knowledge in SEO though i would not suggest its great, i have general good knowledge, and to be honest i cant try and play a alter ego, im me and what i have done for my site and visitors and the information i give shall surely help improve their lifes, i would say i can get around, and find it easier to complete a task given to me rather than having to sift through miles of information, for instance i can make a very dodgy flash movie, it will view ok but im certain if someone who has extensive knowledge in the field looked at the actual structure of the file they would be very critical, but i do believe it could quickly be fixed into the correct formatting. Apart from my skills in the outside world i dont have much more to offer, im here in the hope that others to believe in helping others for a better and brighter future and will be able to craft me into a pro marketer, but please rememeber my dilemma im in. I feel that if i was earning some money from a job i would have been able to utlise what i currently feel is the way the 5% work to earn dosh, but i have this dilemma

    Hmm its a good idea, but to be honest i dont feel that my presense in this field is that strong and i would worry in dealing with customers or other peoples valuble information. The comp i am working on is just no trustworthy, and to be really honest coding is not what i want to do in the long run, but just curious as to how i would go about this, as im sure that the smaller company or individual could make use of my skills. thanks

    Consider putting together a portfolio and listing your services on a site like ODesk. You could then actively seek out contracts through the site. I agree that a smaller company might be able to use your skills and ODesk has a great track record of getting their providers paid.

    Thats great, i will most def look into this but right now my main objective is to somehow get back on my feet, i cant express how crazy this computer is, and i have already recieved 3 BSOD this week and i am literally praying to god that it doesnt all go, i have nothing back up as i cant get money for a portable drive and my CD rewriter broke 2 weeks ago lol, so i just hope that it doesnt decide to conk out. When im using photoshop i literally press the Gaussian Blur filter go and make a tea and come back to find its still loading, yes i know its crazy.
    In regards to my site, shall i leave it as it is or shall i affiliate it to see if i can make some extra dosh in the hope of buying my own laptop, so i work further on my projects.

    P.S I just done a read through and everything suggested needs some form of investment whether it be 3$ or more for me this is impossible as my cards are now blocked, the one Cow Stupid method or something along them lines the link is not working which they claimed was free
