Good points, and I feel like an asshole for asking publicly..

I'll try making up a resume and see how that goes. I wouldn't think that local businesses would pay a single local guy up front that much money for the first job, though, but I can always try and I have some great references.

Storage auctions :winkwink: I once put a bid on one for 5 bucks and flipped it for 3000..just need a truck and help and repost that stuff on craigslist ... My storage unit was full of Stetson hats sealed in boxes that belonged to companies. Theres many ways to make money..just have to think outside the box

Dont worry, there is usually one or two people a week asking for money here.

You have to have a success story, or this wont work for you. If you walk in and say "hey, my name is Mike, do you want SEO?" you will get the door shut in your face.

Most companies don't like working with big agencies because they know they will get fucked. Make up a story about how you used to work for them and you know you can do this better on a one-to-one relationship with the clients where they know exactly who is doing all the work.

Also, and probably most important, make sure to have some type of guarantee of service. Meaning... "if I don't do what I say, I will give you my money back, and its on this contract right here so you have nothing to lose." No one will hand you a dollar on a whim.

Make yourself professional and come prepared. Start with some that are out of your league to practice, then you will have more experience going after the smaller companies that you can close.

Good luck :thumbsup

Great tips! :upsidedow

I'm going to start with the T. Marzetti corporate office down the street. Might work since T. Marzetti was my great great aunt. It was bought out by a bigger food company years ago, though...

Preach traffic lawd preach! \o/ amen lawd

Here's another random way that someone could help me make $1000:

If you know anyone that is going to buy a fancy, expensive sectional sofa, refer them to http://sectionalsofas.shop-blogs.com/ and one sale will pay my rent and bills... :upsidedow

Grab a pan and sit in the river. Gold is money

lol, there's no gold in Ohio.. :(

Let's see, you've been here 8 months and you've been impoverished that entire time?. You loaned all of your thousands out and are you're now broke? You're paying on a 60 year mortgage but you can't live there? Your electricity is cut off but you still have Internet access?

Get a job :2 cents:

If I thought your hard luck story had the possibility of being even remotely true, I might feel sorry for you, but that's the biggest crock of bullshit that I've ever read.

I swear it's all true and I've been doing this much longer than just the time I've been on GFY..

I live at my dad's now, but my brother is at my apartment and without it, he's homeless like I explained. I'm fine but could use the help to make things much less complicated and can bounce right back to normal once I get everything that is owed to me plus a few checks at the end of the month..

Pathetic thread... no offence to the OP.

Over the years, with 3 kids, a wife, a dog, a house, etc etc... I've come close to hitting the skids more than once, and NEVER, never... would I come here and ask to "borrow" from random strangers.

What I did do tho, is explain my situation and asked if anyone had any WORK they could throw my way.

Want to panhandle? get off GFY and hit the streets like the rest of the bums.


Sorry man, I know some will read this reply and think "Whoooooaaa where's Mr nice MGK"

He's tired, and exhausted from working his ass of for years, and never asking for a handout.

You'll get thro this, but next time, think about offering to earn your way, before begging for it.

If you're willing to sell any blog posts, I'm buying. ICQ in my profile. ;)

I'll send you an email about it, if that's ok? It's pretty late here and yeah, I got a real job and have to work in the morning :(

I know, I should have thought of that and offered a few services in later posts.. :winkwink:

I've seen a few other people doing the same thing and thought I'd ask since I don't know what else to do right now, especially since someone big in the industry said I could borrow $1000 a couple of weeks ago and nothing so far.. If what I posted was really uncalled for, sorry about that.

Sure. Now hit the sack. ;)

What I meant was that it would be cool if there was an actual company who offered the service for a cut.

Sponsors would likely also want a cut so pay $0.85 on the $1 to 'Minimum Schminimum" who would then take 15% and give the rest to the affiliate.

So affiliates would essentially have to pay a 27.75% surcharge to use the service.

Probably not lucrative enough for a stand alone business, but a nice new revenue stream for a company with pre-existing sponsor relationships

Maybe Sign Bucks?

Are you willing to sell greatbongs.com? :pimp

You have about 11.50 more than me in your account sorry... :(

What sort of money do get from Chatturbate and is it %?

I approached AFF a few years ago and raised a few thousand by "selling" my future rebills to them.

Its an expensive way of doing it, I lost a lot, but desperate times call for desperate measures.

Try being VERY VERY nice to Punker.

Weren't you the guy making a 100 new unique blogs a day? If that's not making you recurring money to easily live from I suggest you try a different approach. Sorry for being so blunt.

Never be sorry - Ever.

Hopefully you've learned your lesson. (To not give money away to other people. Fuck them and their sob stories, you have your own life to take care of)

"I loaned my brother 10k"

Which is it? Anyhow just sell one of your two houses and you wont have a problem, btw you said you bought your fathers house so no foreclosure problem there right?

"So now I'm in a bad position with literally $12 in the bank with my power shut off and rent not paid for my own apartment a"

Your apartment? What happened with your two houses?

I was counting my dads as one of those and I haven't lived in the other house for a while, long story on that bs, too.

Also, I said I gave my bro 10k (with intention to pay back) so what's your question there?..

I was but changed what I've been doing for the past few months. I'm going to get back to the regular grind, though. :winkwink:

Yeah, I'm actually trying to sell that one.

What did you have in mind? It's just a domain only masked redirect right now, PR1

woEW!!!
-74.35% FUNDED -$371,766.31 RAISED -24 DAYS LEFT

A mere 8 months ago you had over $15,000 in savings, but now you're broke? Something definitely smells fishy.

Are you on icq now?

Move in with your dad...or get a real job...or stop lending people money you cannot afford to lend them.

That's a long time ago for just 15,000.

Look, I wouldn't ever do this but last month I was promised 4k from one person and 1k from another which didn't happen and messed up my accounts and South Smoke didn't pay me the 1,100 that they owe me because they lied and said they never received my tax info. All of that all at once hurts...

If you can make 15,000 last 8 months with your whole family leeching off of you, then that's awesome. :winkwink:

Now I am

Already did all three..

All I can do is wish you good luck.

You can apply for foodstamps online and in many cases don't even need a face to face interview. That's a big relief and help until you can make money again. $200 a month for a single person with no income buys more food than you can eat.

If your rent isn't too high you can receive emergency aid to cover past rent once you've been served the eviction notice.

Here's some good advice on how to make money, from a filthy rich GFY playa.

You work at or own PornCMS?

Not just the 'golden days' apparently.

Sell your Mac and stop buying drugs.

I swear you were bragging about making six figures a year within two years, and doing well with WebCams. Now in this thread you say you haven't done well with WebCams and it seems like you never really made that much money.

If I'm mistaking you for someone else, I sincerely apologize, but something isn't right here. Were you lying then or are you lying now?

your dad sounds like he deserves to lose the house. it was paid for then he took out 50k and then 70k? and did what with it? talk about stupid and unresponsible (if true).

I used to have a high 5 figure bank acct but I'd rather not explain all of that. I'll have about 20k+ in a month or so but I'm just hurting temporarily and will pay back asap..

I just do small marketing jobs for PornCMS and promote it, I don't own it..

Also you're right, I'm going to quit smoking and see how that works out.

Yeah, he does deserve it... But he's family so it's hard..

With cams? I mostly make money with PPS paysite signups and selling traffic..

From a financial perspective, you're supposed to have 6 months income saved up. So, if just took the $15,000 that is $2,500/month. $2,500/month in terms of yearly income is around $40k/year (with taxes factored in).

Now a lot of people making $40k/year do not have 6 months income saved up. To be making that much and have that much saved up means you're REALLY ontop of your financials and are smart+conservative with your money.

So, you were either
A) Extremely smart with your financials and money
B) Making way more than $40k/year
C) You actually have the worst luck known to man
D) You're simply lying

If it's A or B, then you have the means to survive. You have skills to have been making that much, and you probably have things around you can pawn or sell. If you're in hard times then you have to live like you're in hard times. You can't be driving around your Mercedes asking for help on the car & insurance payments.

If it was C, then oh well get a new job. If you were making as much as you say you were. Then just take a pay cut finding another job. For someone supposedly of that caliber it should be a walk in the park getting a job.

But I think it's D, because I don't know man. You've posted that you were making $90/hour? That's 180k+/year. You shouldn't be asking for hand outs if that is the case. That is top 2-3% of the population in this country. No one with the skills/ability to make that much money needs a handout. Sounds to me like you were just a typical "gfy baller" like we've seen over the years.

Bullshit. Anyone who would have $20k in a month or so would either have the money to make it until then, or be able to get a temporary loan until then.

You are so full of shit.

Dude is begging for money, but now he'll have $20k in a month or so. What a fucking piece of shit.

As sad as it is your problem is your family. Get rid of them.

Off them and sell their organs or something...
