Broke guy needs help - Please Help me I promise to giveback to the warrior community

21 replies
Hi Warriors,

Exactly one year from now I was doing great in my offline career. I managed to bring good amount of money and life was fine. I was a regular visitor of warrior forum and read new tips posted by veterans such as Jhon Dhuram, IamNameless, jason e.t.c.

Last September I got enrolled in a university. I decided I should focus on my studies as my grades where starting to fall, at that time I had 7K in my account and I said to my self "7K is a hell lot of money, you can spend a year with it". This was the worst mistake of my life. That 7K shirnked into $500 within 4 months. Now dont ask me how it happened. its just a storm of bad lucks stroke me.

Right now I am at a position where I have pile of debt on my head. Bills are piling and so is the stress. Turning back to offline marketing, I started looking for clients but the market is so saturated that it got impossible to find a client. 200 cold calls every day but no leads. Until I found an ad on kijiji, It stated that a SEO professional is required for 4-5 sites with a $5000 pay per month, $1000 for a single site. I contacted the guy and he asked me for at least 3 sites I have ranked before. Now this is a huge hurdle for me. I previously had 2 sites ranking first in the internet marketing niche, but that was 2 years ago, now they would have dropped to 4-5, and when I decided I should use the google love method to rank my existing domains within 3 to 4 days, but guess what? My hosting account got suspended, I didnt touched any of my website for a long time and I also did not payed the fee to carry on my hosting. Go check your self www . roimarketingfirm . com

I am very stressed right now, I can get this job but they are asking me for proof that I can rank the websites. the guy said that he wants to see the proof with my name or my company's name or the company's name I work with. I need help! PLEASE!

    where are you located? and, what exactly are you saying to people when you're cold calling?

    I know it can be tough, but I have a hard time believing that you're making 200 cold calls everyday and not getting any leads... unless there is something wrong with your process.. from point A to point B.

    I feel for you. I can only pray for you. God Bless!

    Ask him to try you out for free for 1-2 websites, if you rank them fine, then he can start paying you after 1-2 months or so. This is all I can think of right now.

    If someone has website that ranks first on google, He/she can tell the guy that I have done SEO for him. I know its not ethical but how am I going to explain him that I know everything related to SEO? He wants result. Please help !

    Stay strong man...

    What exactly are you saying when you call people up. You must be doing something wrong if you're making 200 calls per day and not even getting 1 lead.

    Tell him...

    1. there is more to marketing than SEO and ranking on the first page or number 1 on Google... If he works with you, you will be the expert in charge of all the marketing needs.

    2. SEO Is a constantly changing industry, so it makes no sense For you to show him Examples better not properly optimized for the industry that he is in... but that you're willing to work at your cost only for the first 2 months... in order to prove to him what you might be capable of... well also explaining the SEO is a long term thing and it can take time for optimal rankings to be achieved.

    if he doesn't want to work with you based on those things... then his loss, and you need to focus on finding clients yourself..

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if you haven't done any SEO work since sept

    then you really don't know SEO any more... as in... you should not offer it
    until you know it again. a lot has changed.

    If you show some one elses ranking as your own, its fraud.
    don't do it.

    Sell something else... like websites. Overall its an easier sale.

      Yup. Fraud. The fact that he even asked bothers me.
      But for ethical people, that idea about offering to do one website for free would get him a job probably.

    Wait you say you were number one in the internet marketing niche but you think $7k is a lot of money?

    You should have been making way more than that.

    Is he asking us to pay for his website hosting, or give him our work to use as an example for the client? All sounds a bit fishy to me.

      Well you got my prayers either way but (and no offense at all), what exactly it sounds like your asking for is a hand out... 200 calls/day and no leads & repeated days of this you say? Really? I don't even do CC but I have a hard time believing this statement.

      7k you had, had ranked sites in the past and had a hosting acct. and you simply forgot you had hosting at all and didn't pay it???

      Again, prayers going to you sir, but that's all I'll give.

      EDIT: Oh and silly me just looked, you have 2 posts. Let me send you my acct. number right away......

      I agree with Ken. If you haven't been around in a while, you don't know SEO anymore.
      But, if you think you do, offer to rank a video.
      You could do a whole site, but I would offer a "small sample" of what I could do for them.
      Tell them you can't give out your clients details (cuz you don't have any) but you understand them being skeptical. Then rank the video on your channel, and if they aren't happy then just delete the video.

        I like that suggestion.Ranking a video is fast, and it proves you know what you are doing...without much time invested.

    Furqanza,
    You sound like you are in a panic, or trying to take advantage, I am unsure which. If this is for real take a few deep breaths, then

    Follow some of the suggestions above. Or you could pick up a few small jobs on the WF or weekend jobs and make enough money for hosting.

    It is one thing to ask for helpful suggestions, another to ask people to lie for you. What a way to start off with a client....
