I'm Fucked...
This is a repeat of last year..
Ok I live with my room mate ( My best friend ) and last year I tried to make money online and failed miserably. Well my bitch of a land lord didn't support me (some old lady or AKA: His grandmother). She told me to find a job in 2 weeks or I had to move out and I had to put making money online to a halt.. I moved my ass around town looking all over the place doing everything I couldn't and I just simply couldn't find one.. not even Temp Services could get me one that quickly. She kicked me out and I had move back in with my mom.
Well.. now again this year.. I've only been trying to make money online again for 2 weeks and now the old bitch again (find a job in 2 weeks or move out) and jobs are tougher to find in this little tiny town than ever.
What I need is proof that I can show her that I'm making steady income..
AKA: I need to start making decent/good money on a daily basis so I can show her proof and try to talk to her.
I can't believe I'm in the same situation again.. I can't live another year in the middle of nowhere in a little brick shed type house with no money or food. I'm trying to build an online business with an income and yeah I'm not making shit for money right now.. but at least I'm happy.. I've spent 20 years pissed and I've had nothing for 20 years.
I'm finally trying to build something that will be worth it in the long run and now she's trying to be the dream crusher.
What would you do in my situation? Please don't say "get a job" because it's not that simple.. nor is it an option for me right now.. it's too complicated to explain.

Re: I'm Fucked...
If I were you, I would firstly remove myself from the drama by going somewhere I could clear my head. Then, I would make a list of all the things I am good at in relation to online endeavors. Of all the things I had written on that list, I would focus on the things that I could monetize relatively quickly.
Do you possess any marketable talents such as template creation, website building, script installation, coding, banner/header creation, photoshop skills, or article writing? If so, you could capitalize on these talents while you are continuing to work on other online ventures that bring you happiness/money.
Many webmaster forums, including this one, have several members who would be willing to pay you relatively well if you possess any of the aforementioned skills and can provide services both professionally as well as reasonably priced. I am sure you can think of many ways to market this to your advantage.
As far as the crotchety landlord goes, do what you need to do to appease her rotten ass. Then, once you start making a sustainable income once again, I would highly suggest that you move the hell away from your negative room mate and his dream crushing mother.

Re: I'm Fucked...
Seriously dude, your room mate is ass. I know you said he's your best friend, but he's ass, and he's dragging you down. I'm not saying you can't still be his friend, and/or that you can't still be best friends, but you have to realize that he is dragging you down. Now for anyone else that reads this and doesn't see where I'm coming from, check out coreygeer's other posts where he talks about the problems with his room mate. One of the tips of successfull people is to surround yourself with other successfull people, or those that you wish to emulate. I'm trying not to come off looking like an asshole here, but you need to take a step back and see the situation for what it is.
I'm also not talking out of my ass either, because my best friend and I are also room mates, and you know what, he's got the same type of attitude that your room mate does about jobs/internet marketing. I had to sit down with him and have a talk, telling him that while he has his opinion, I respect it, but mine is different, and I would appreciate it if he doesn't try to down-talk what it is I'm doing/attempting to do. I understand where you are coming from.. he's my best friend, and I can't just "get away from him", but you need to work things out in YOUR head, that you are just different, and MAYBE he will see your side of it when you start making cash left and right on the internet. If he doesn't it's all good, just have it sorted out in your head to not listen to his influence.
Now, as for the whole grandma/landlord thing. It all comes down to this: can you pay the rent/your share of bills? If you CAN.... basically, tell her to shove it. Ok, don't tell her to shove it, but lie, say that you got a job creating content/building websites/advertising for an internet company, and that you work from home on your computer. If she says "that's not a real job", "that's not a real company", ask her how rich Bill Gates is, and say that "Microsoft" does the same sort of thing/etc/whatever, make crap up, get her off your back. Seriously, if you can pay the rent/bills, what is her problem? Let her try to throw you out. Check out tenant laws in your city, if you are paying the rent/bills, can she throw you out? I don't know, I wouldn't THINK so, but check out the tenant laws of where you live.
If you CAN'T pay your half of the rent/bills.... I don't know what to tell you man.. I know you said you hated your last job, but it was YOUR responsibility to ensure your own survival. I worked an extra YEAR at a job that I HATED, and that physically HURT me every single day, just to ensure that I had enough money saved up to give internet marketing a go, and be able to pay my bills for months and months in advance in order to have the time for everything to work out. It sucks, but it's "tough love" man.
If you get things on track and get her to chill out, and make some cash from the internet, your first agenda should be saving up as much cash as possible, and MOVING out of the situation that you are in. Environment is A LOT.. and if your current environment is crap, you've got to put up with it long enough in order to CHANGE it.
If everything fails miserably.. I've got an empty living room in NJ ... lol

Re: I'm Fucked...
I stumbled upon a website 2 years ago that payed you to write articles.
I can possibly convince her that this is a job.. technically it would be. I need a website that pays you per articles, because I can't really afford to go Forum Hopping from forum to forum looking for writing jobs because I'm not guaranteed to get anything.

Here's A Thought, Open A Paypal Account, Do The Article Work, Get Payed, Print Out A Copy Of The Transactions And Your Paypal Balance, Keep Your Place
It's A Job If You Make Consistent Earnings, So Do It, Get Proof ... You're Good lol

Re: I'm Fucked...
I know I know but I'm asking where I can go to write Articles.
I was hoping there was a website that paid you per article so I could have one place that I could make consistent money off of.

Elance Would Be A Good Starting Point Man, They Pretty Much Bring All The Buyer To The Table, All You Have To Do Is Close The Deal.
Oh And Pay The 9 Dollar Fee
If I See Something Around That Will Help You I'll Give You The Info ASAP
Cool?
