Hey everyone, so I'm at the verge of working for a company. I want that extra capital to invest into my business. Plus the benefits are always nice.

Just a quick question, for those that do work for a 9-5 company, and does SEO what's your experience?

      Wtf? You're kidding me right? No. It's effing serious. And I can't believe you thought it was a joke. I feel extremely insulted especially out of all people it had to be YOU Niko.

      Why don't you read the whole description first by clicking on the link before you even say some bullshit like that.

        I did read the whole thing and honestly, mostly these type of stories are made up by people from Nigeria for example, I guess you get my point. And no offense but the date says May 2012 and there hasn't been a single donation so I bet I'm not the only one that thinks that way.

        Appearantly I'm wrong here so my apologies for that. Now that I look at the picture I guess it's you and your GF same as pic on the WF here, bit small to recognize it good, anyway I thought it was just some random thing in the first place.

          Bro, you know me. You've seen my post in the past. And you know I don't BS when I post here on the forums.

          My sister is one of my strongest WHY's to make it in life in general. She's being held against her will, I've posted it in so many posts here on the mind success section.

          When you have a strong "WHY" you will succeed in whatever it is you want to do. Sorry for being so defensive, but I just take this to the heart. And I've done everything even with no money or power, I've contacted the government to help her out and even a journalist to handle the situation.

          I have a strong desire to do whatever it takes and she's still in that country. It's hard when the royal family of Amman Jordan is the one that's holding her against her will.

          I'm not from Nigeria. I'm here in Long Beach, California. Fortunate to be in a city like this. It's not the greatest, but when I see people like my sister going through some crazy shit like that, I'm extremely thankful. And I feel as if I'm destined to do something great in this world. So I can help others as much as I can. As long as I fulfill my cup first. And that's why I think getting this job is a stepping stone, so I can invest more into my business if that makes sense.

          Well, here's the thing. I'm not expecting people to donate on the WF, but if they do that's cool. It was moreso just for them to know a little bit of what I'm going through and get an idea of the type of person that I am..I've helped others and offered my service completely free. People in this forum probably can't or won't donate because they want to invest their money into who knows what, purchasing backlinks such as your signature, or some kind of software or join someone's list, or some type of coaching. I have received messages from people that say they admire my goal, and that they would want to succeed so they can eventually donate.

          Another reason why there's no money is because gofundme will not promote it unless it has reached upon $100. And I haven't even posted or shared this to my FB or twitter or anything else. Why? Because I keep it a secret from my family and friends because as I've mentioned a "long lost sister". If people that are close to me had known that a sister of mine existed, it would tarnish my family. Does that make sense? But I don't want to get into too much detail, because this is a touchy subject.

          But at the same time I just want to make my point across since you commented "funny".

            Lol don't go that road, we all know that most of such spam comes from Nigerian IP's, whether it are actual Nigerians or just people from everywhere abusing their IP's.

    It's gonna depend on the company, and the people who work there. SEO companies were usually very laid back and pays good. But after panda and penguin, they tend to be more "controlling" (cant think of a better word) and always try to play it safe.

    Well ofcourse what I have been blabbing about was just from my own experience.

    Most successful people who work full time probably had a full time job and worked part time.

    It's not going to be easy, of course, you IM business will become secondary but the most important thing is to have a plan and stick to it.

    Sometime you might only get 4, 5 hours sleep a day, it's ok so long as your part time business is bringing in the beacon and you are scaling up and investing, hoping to retire full time some day..

    Now that's taken care of, I just want to say thanks for those that replied. I hope I do get this job, and I'm excited. I'm willing to commit 40 hrs + over time AND still run my business. It's not like I have any kids...yet. And my gf lives far (long distant relationship for the win). So instead of all the partying, drinking, spending time with my friends, I'll just spend more time in making $$ and I'll party later.

    Very unusual terrible story then.

    I've been in Amman, Jordan about 3-4 months ago, flew from Cyprus to Bangkok and had a transit time there for 8-10 hours. It seemed pretty civilized, different then what I would expect from a country in the middle of the Middle-East, and it also amazed me that everything was pretty damn expensive, I went out for one night and didn't do that much special, only taxicab + restaurant/smoking waterpipe and I was 50 euro poorer. So when I read the story about $200/month income while I know that the average salary is around 400-600 euro/month over there my alarm bells were already ringing. And I also know the salary in the Phillipines or here in Thailand and that's not far off from $200/month so why on earth did she move from the Phillipines to freaking Jordania.

    Besides that the $5k also seemed far of, I personally bought a plane ticket from Cyprus to Bangkok for 350 euro one way ticket. The distance between Cyprus and Jordan is about the same as the difference between Bangkok and the Phillipines. So if this would be a total stranger story I would say the story smells from all sides, or perhaps your sister is just trying to make the most out of it.

    Hard words I know, but also dead realistic.

      Well here's the thing, I contacted a news reporter from the Philippines that was able to contact the OFW office (overseas filipino workers), and had kept in touch with me with the latest updates. Yes, the administration and ministry of labor had talked with the owners or the "illegal agency" that kept my sister. Yes, they confirmed with me that it was a long process since that illegal agency was run by the royal family. My sisters agent, had even spoken to me asking for 5k just to give her passport back.

      All I know is that her situation sucks. She left 4 of her kids back home in the PI. Her father (my dad), was never there for her obviously and I didn't find out that she existed until last year.

      At the same time, there's a language barrier with me and her. I don't understand my native language (tagalog) so when she explains in English, it's hard. Her grammar obviously isn't the best. But, talking to a news reporter has helped me understand the whole situation more clearly.

      And at the end of the day, the truth is I live a much better life than she does. She's not with her kids that's a given. And I would love for her to be there for her kids. IF she were to take my money, then f it. She needs it more than I do. I was fortunate to live a life with two parents raising me and having a roof for the past 26 years. That's all that matters for me. To help her out in any way possible.

        After being in Thailand for 3 months now and having had more then a handful of short relationships a lot of stories came by, so there is not much I believe anymore but I did develop the same mind set as you in the way of that they need it more then I do, and just consider it as an alternative way of charity.

        Anyway, good luck with it, if I would be in your position and I had the money I would probably fly there myself to get it all sorted instead of blindly sending the money.

    Sorry Paul, but I read that a few weeks ago and I have to say it sounds like a poorly written sales copy. If it's real, and I hope its not, then you should seriously consider a major revision because as it stands it trips the BS alarm BIG time. I know this thread isn't about your sister so I'll just leave it at that, and if it is real then best of luck.

      Read what I wrote carefully. I never said you, or your story, is BS. Merely the way it's told makes one suspicious. And you can't be surprised when people say something about it. You are afterall advertising it here. But yeah, back to the topic at hand.

      Well Allow me to just extend it by one more post..as I think people have raised some unfair issues ..Having lived in a third world country when I was young I can tell you that citing the cost of a plane ticket or what the wage is would seem to make sense but it doesn't

      There are many countries where the official price of things means squat. You often have to pay your way past unsavory government officials (not high ranking either can be just the clerk at a front desk) and its just a fact that many people end up leaving their country with the dream of making better money only to find themselves stuck with sometimes only two or three people who want to be paid blocking their exit. Shucks some even get caught in straight out slavery.

      I had a friend that decided he wanted to get a license he needed fairly and all he did was express that to a clerk and not only did he have to pay they raised the price on him just for expressing the idea and when he objected the price went up - he didnt get the license for many years.

      So though I don't put my head on the line for any page on the net I didn't find the link anymore suspicious of BS than any other donations page I have seen. the fact that the link was not even operational to take people's money doesn't say to me scam or BS. GG I woudn't take it too personal though. The doubts expressed are not because of anything you did or anything about you as a person. Its juts the nature of the net and what people have done before unrelated to you. Plus people who have not lived in third world countries really have no sense of how things can work outside of what they are used to.
