Hi. I am a single mom of 1 son. I am currently employed but have not received any hours at work in 2 months. Job hunting has not produced anything yet. I am looking for a better way to make money, At this time I do not have my own pc or internet. I have to use the library. Looking for advice on where to start.

Thanks.

    If I was in your exact scenario here's what I'd do:

    On the rare occasions when I'm able to get
    to the library I'd be setting up my sales
    funnel (one day at a time).

    That way, on the days when you can't gain
    internet access (at the library) your
    funnel is automated - and all you have to
    do is drive traffic to the start of your funnel.

    Of course, knowing how to set up a proper
    sales funnel may require internet access in
    the first place. But based on your circumstances
    you have to do what's neccessary.

    All isn't lost, though.

    Some folk don't even have homes and they
    manage to launch businesses online.

    The fact of the matter is you will need
    to generate some form of cash flow to
    afford the basics that come with an
    online business.

    Once your funnel is set up you can even
    use offline advertising to generate traffic.

      You can use the library one, but it will take a long time to get something up, (especially if you have a time limit, or other video restriction in place).

      Use the library, but get a Laptop when you can.

      Toshiba satellite i3, is probably one of the most reliable, ones out there, and costs about $600 in Au.

      If money is tight then find a place that sells, second hand laptops. Second hand/charity dealers are a good place to start, since they usually only cost a $100 or so for a reasonably fast Laptop or Mach PC.

      Laptop is better since you can go to the library or coffee shops and spend long hours there putting things together.


      Where to start, Fiverr is one, and then finding high demand products on Amazon and selling them on Ebay, is probably a good starting point.

      But it is buying and selling physical products, so it would make money, but not make you rich.


      Then come back here, and ask the "where do l go from here", question! :rolleyes:

    Don't buy on Amazon and try to resell it on eBay.
    Find a drop-shipper online.
    Here's a good place to start.
    http://www.bestdropshippers.net/

    Open a free Wordpress blog site.
    WordPress.com - Get a Free Blog Here
    And/or Blogger.com

    Use the information about the product you want to sell
    for content on the blog.

    The drop-shipper will provide a "Buy" link for you.
    You'll need a Paypal account.

    List the products on eBay at a price that will guarantee you a profit.

    You won't get rich but you should be able to bring in a few bucks a day for starters.

    I did it selling GPS units and other, related electronics.

    I made $4 - $5 P/D.
    I could have increased that amount by adding products.
    But, at the time, I had other, more profitable sites to work with.

    Another quick method of making some money is selling ebooks on Kindle.

    If can write, or re-write short books Kindle is quick and easy.
    I have 2 ebooks listed on Kindle made sales almost immediately with no promotion or effort.


    Hope this helps.

    Find out if there are any Internet marketers who are marketing for offline businesses in your area, then see of you can become a sales representative for a commission. You could visit business owners with your baby, why not. Makes you look more human, less "salesy".
