PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

Hello,
My car was repossessed the other night and i have 1 doller in my bank account .. the repossession though released a bunch of stuck energy ..and withing hours i contacted someone who happen to have the skills i am missing and need to get a business going and running.. .. the problem is even though she is well eduacted .. she is unemployed.. in the philippines and couch surfing to survive and just managing to get online at friends or with her phone that is one of the last possessions she has ..

So right now i have really strong motivation like i have never had and i have spent the last few days focusing on possibilities and options .. but i am stuck because i have 0 money to start and no way to borrow any ..

but i have real goals that mean something to me now.. make enough to to get to her so she has a place to stay ..and build a business with her the pays off her debt pays of my debt and lets me get over there and get a nice place by the beach with her .. if that develops like it feels like it can..

I am just unable to work a job right now and really want to figure out what to do online .. not to make a huge amount right yet.. but to make something .and i would rather earn it than ask for charity ..as i want to learn to earn starting now so i am never this broke again ..

It is kinda a reverse gun to the head thing.. if i don't get things going now the piece of my life i have been waiting for might end up with a gun to her head ..

keep in mind that you live in the generation of internet, where information roams freely and open to everyone and anyone.

yes, you need money to make money, but there are still ways for you to be able to make money from scratch.

i know people who started out using wordpress (dot com, not dot org) to start a free blog and there are tons of other blogging sites out there that you can SEO and optimize to help you make money.

you can even write a blog about your life and make money by being REAL and authentic about yourself while giving advice so that people don't make the same mistake. use your story to inspire people and not just create sympathy.

You may struggle with zero money as pretty much everything takes some investment. Can I ask why you're unable to work a job?

  You are quite in a difficult situation in did.
  
  If you want to start earning money online know that it can take sometime if you have no money - but if your creative you can overcome this.
  
  1. You first need to make a plan with:
  - goals and timeframes
  - skills and actions you need to take with timeframes
  Put it somewhere where you can watch it every day so you stay focus and inspired and keep it realistic.
  
  2. You ll need to research to get started - start asking the basic questions you need to know to start an online income and putting them on google. ( how to make a website, how to get trafic, how to get emails, how to setup autoresponders...)
  
  3. Here is the basic 3 step formula that you need guide you to have an online income :
  - People to market to
  - Product
  - Promotion ( here is where 90% of people fail to be successfull in making money online)
  
  So your first step is to find a product or niche market go to clickbank or commission junction to get started with choosing a product and niche.
  
  For clickbank choose a gravity above 30 or search for articles: how to choose products on clickbank
  
  You ll need to have a website or at least a squeeze page to get emails and to get your traffic to buy your products.
  
  Summary:
  - get a plan with goals actions and time frames
  - Learn the skills with research
  - follow the 3 step formula: people,product,promotion
  - get your niche market and product
  - get your website or squeeze page running
  - promote - promote - promote
  
  Good luck and never give up
  
  Thanks

With just a $1 in the bank account and no other business assets to speak of (from what we can tell in your OP), you might be best served figuring outsomething that you can do to get out of your current situation. You don't have money to invest so that means that you will have to invest time. With $1 in the bank account that is time that you don't have.

Why is it you are unable to work right now?

Surely there is no harm in applying (even if you get rejected). Doesn't mean you don't go into business for yourself, it just means you have another source of income.

I would start providing a service of some kind. Writing, site design, link building, anything.

Try to realistically assess your skills (assets) and then begin to look for one (or several) ways to leverage them for some cash.

If you have a paypal account and some type of skill you can leverage, you can start earning the second you find your first client.

Keep your head up and keep pushing. Just make sure to keep your mindset right in order to find the shortest path between you and some cash.

Good luck.

  A plan is one thing. Execution is something entirely different. Remember that.

  oh i know that ..but I am at the point where the pain of doing nothing or the pain of doing why i normally do.. far outweighs ..the pain of failures along the path of getting what i want ..
  
  also The knowing exactly what i want part right now and the option of what to do to go with the want .. and the small amounts of money i need right now to get started .. and in the long run to make it work and keep it going ..
  
  from where i was 5 days ago which was a state i was in for a very long time.. to right now .. having a clear idea on what i want to do..about how much i need to start and where i want to go ... that seem to come more into focus every few hours ..
  
  I believe you will agree that having a plan that can be ajusted while trying to execute it.. is better than blindly figure out stuff to execute ..plans change..but the need to have a plan never changes
  
  Thanks

if you are unable to work you wont get anywhere sounds harsh but it is true
and by work i mean anything that you could do to put money in your pocket.

Now if you are willing and able to work, start looking for opportunities or even better create them. Offer a service to someone who needs it and charge a fee.

That won't cost you money just time to get you back on your feet. I've been there and worked my ass off to get out of there.

Thinking about and researching different ways to go about making money is not what you need to do.

What you NEED to be doing is going out and applying yourself, and take massive action which at this point is really the only thing you can do so make it happen.

Literally after you finish reading this, go do something that will result in you putting money in your pocket right away.

So if after this you decide to contact some website owners and build them a mobile site or even offer a video production service to them, do that and keep doing it don't stop.

Point of this is to just take action. Stop researching because its taking up your time, you know what you need to do. The only question is now will you do it?
