Listen man, bad shit happens to everyone, it's just a bump in the road. If you're serious about internet marketing I would look at this as an opportunity. Why not find 2 jobs where you can work really long hours but still do your internet crap on the side?
How about:

Like barman said, your not going to be making enough money to pay off your rent anytime soon, so you had better quickly get yourself another job. And after you come home from work, spend time learning and applying what you have learnt on the internet so you can make money. There are many ways, you just have to find your niche and get going. Good luck. Edit: trigatch4 beat me to it

Amassing FABULOUS wealth!
|
In March of this year, my business partner suddenly passed away. A month ago tomorrow, my mother passed away. Last week, I was told by the company I have been doing freelance work for 12 years told me that they're doing the work in-house now, so I'm basically fired.
I'm not sure which shoe will drop next. You're in good company. |

Yeah, regardless of what you hear on TV Infomercials, there really aren't many ways to make a legitimate "quick buck" online. Even if you do know a way to make a lot of money quickly, most ad networks pay on a NET 30 or NET 15 - so you'd still have to wait several weeks to get paid.
Moral of the story is: hit up monster.com, craigslist, and your local paper's employment section. That, and ask all your friends and family if they know any jobs available. Once you get yourself back on your feet - THEN start an internet business on the side. Dedicate an hour or two each day to your endeavor. If you get some good action, you can expand that hobby and eventually make it your 9-5. Good luck.

If you have a decent internet connection, sign up as a service provider at scriptlance, getafreelancer, and tons of other freelance sites on the Net. There's quite a number of "no technical skills needed" data input jobs you can try--captcha work or detailed copy and paste jobs (manual database migrations). Due to the URGENT nature of your need for funds, you may want to put in the LOWEST BID for these jobs so you can line some up and start earning.
I wish you the best, man and remember--keep trying and keep learning!

I've been stabbed, been had, been beat, burned from heat, in jail, in hell, in prison, learned my lesson, failed business's, failed mariages and I'm not depressed.
Man up and work your ass off or go suck cock (fast cash), sell crack (even faster) or just kill yourself now . Or be like CorrectAD who makes $250,000 a year but finds it neccassary to run for Joel Cumms butt licking contest and CEO of wicked fire. Maybe that will make you feel important and worthy Being depressed is for weak minds who give into their own self destroying thoughts that eventually decay your mind and then life. Don't be a victim of your thoughts because they shape your life in every fucken way. |

You dont need a job if you can hustle online vis:
1.Do as 5 submission told you and sign up at a bunch of freelance sites. Do work for other marketers. Sell service's on forums. 2. Have everyone pay you through paypal. It doesn't have to be verified. 3. Then use the money in your paypal account to buy something from one of those paypal websites. Buy something thats hot, like the newest gadget or something. 4. Then send it overnight delivery, and post it on craiglist for cheaper than what it going in the stores. Youl take a lost but at least you can pay your rent , so you can focus on other things. Hope this helps, O ya let logic kill your depression. It was only a job, the world didnt end ![]()

As other posters have said: Get any kind of 'real-world' job that pays a living wage, then fiddle around on the internet in your spare time.
Internet-based freelance jobs pay badly, and you might get cheated. Plus you'll have no energy for your own internet work.

Quit being a pussy. I've lost jobs before. I didn't sit around and cry about it. I went out the next day and got a new one. That's what real men do.
So, get off your ass and go out and find something new.

lol I'll tell you right now Mr. X you WILL feel important and worthy if you lick butt in a contest and put a 'vote Mr. X for WF CEO' in your sig. Make sure you email Jon and tell him you want the spot too. Maybe you should follow ass blaster's advice and get out the weed whacker.... that's thinking outside the box. Otherwise... go sell some ebooks.

HAHAHAHA Dude his drivers have gone downhill,..
Ya have to go up hills sometimes in the driving game man! Seriously my advice, (For what it's worth) get yourself on the rock & roll (or unemployment, or even better get your doctor to sign you off with depression or some shit so ya don't have to do anything to get your cash). Then you have a shit load of time on your hands and all of your bills are covered (but not much else). I'd search for everything you can find on here about abitrage because although it's not as lucrative as promoting serious afilliate offers it IS MUCH EASIER and once you have a template you can just knock em up at a rate of 10 a day if you like all from the comfort of your own home while the other sad bastards make their way off to work. Finally although I'll probably get flamed for this have a look at the ebook download link section to get a free and very basic introduction to the game, then when ya know what the different terms mean build on what you've learned. read everything in the newbie section,..... and keep your ebay account for buying bargains, (aside from selling any junk you've got and would be happy to throw out,... make sure you cover the effort of going and posting the goods in your postage costs,... a frowned upon necessity) -Remember to get off the benefits once your money starts coming in-....ya don't wanna go to prison for benefit fraud. -Benj-

well, if you can't even drive a van, a bike, cook, waiter tables then by all means, you can always suck cocks.
but even if you are marooned in a country so foreign that the alphabet is hieroglyphics, you can always wash pots. This works even if you are a farmer and want to go off on a cargo ship, they'll always allow you to wash pots and help the cook. If all that is still no good then kill yourself. |

I don't consider minimum wage money. Certainly you can do a lot of menial jobs and make a little cash, but you can't make any real money. To make any real money, legally, you will have to invest some time, knowledge, understanding and potentially skill. Regardless of what it is.

Obviously it depends on where one is but dispatch riding on a bike in London can bring in even $5k weekly if you know what you are doing, and you can start without knowing what you are doing (at $400 weekly set wage), although admittedly it can be dangerous for beginners. You can then develop it. My old and never put into practice idea would be to set up a premium phone line at $5 a minute then go into all these firms pretending to be collecting a package, when they have no package just ask to use the phone to find a contact name ext. # (as you do) and phone the premium number for 10 mins at a time. Do that with every firm on every floor of every building for a while. Chances are a $50 phone call won't even get noticed by these big firms, and virtually every company use dispatch riders, at least in London. Doing 100 companies on a 12 hours day is perfectly feasible,and there are enough companies around for one to just milk $50 each company every six months, so in theory it could bring almost 2 mil per year. In practice I am not sure what'd happen. |

uh, I don't need to do either. But I googled it to see what the downside would be. In real life all that would happen to you is a relatively small fine and a year suspension, but to get caught you'd need to do it as stupidly as these people did it, conning individuals by sending dubious crap to them ICSTIS Service Provider - Adjudications

The scam is a lot more elaborate than you may think. I know of a group in Aruba who I'm friends with and they run something like this now, but not from Aruba. There's an area code in the Carribean somewhere with a US looking area code, and it acts as a 900 number. So they charge something like $20-$90 per call, regardless of how long someone is on it, and they market it as a psychic line or some type of support hotline for products. They bank REALLY hard from it too. The phone companies pay them, and will charge the victim no matter what. They can't fight it because it was clearly made from the location of the phone number, so they'll charge you regardless. The phone companies know it's a scam too, but they don't do shit about it because it's cheaper for them to just charge you knowing they'll win and make a profit anyhow. The FTC/FCC, FBI and INTERPOL have been onto this scam for a looooong time (not on my friends from what I know, but definitely on the whole idea of it). If ya make the call, get ready to pay for it. My buddies doing it went from working on the beach and selling marijuana to tourists to making well over $30M a year from it. They are good peoples aside for the scam, but to them, it's not a scam, they have a totally different mentality than Americans do. They told me that to them if it exists, and the phone companies pay you for it, then it's legal in their eyes. The scam is smart, and it does make A LOT of money, but if you're an American, you can be sure you will be arrested by the feds and sent to jail for a loooooooooong time, or if you do it offshore it would be safe to say that if you want to stay a free person you should never set foot on US soil again, for the rest of your life. So the real question that remains is.. is it worth it? I know my morals, ethics and standards are pretty shitty, and while I find this idea so fucking cool and tempting, sorry, but I wouldn't fuck with the feds on any level, nor would I be willing to trade money and wealth in exchange for never being able to set foot in the US ever again. Not to mention you'd probably feel like a war criminal for the rest of your life as you'd have to watch your back and live a super paranoid life for the rest of your days. Some things just aren't worth it. But to each his own.
