My ticket to Portugal?

[astrabella]

Hi All,
I've just signed up after a venture I spent a year developing just failed. I built a membership site, and spent all my available cash advertising it on FB and Google, and had no signups after 3 weeks of advertising.
I'm desperate to move out of my shit-hole 3rd world country and get into Portugal. To do that, I need a "passive" income so that I can apply for a D7 visa.
So, I'm now turning my efforts to affiliate marketing.
Thank you for the opportunity to learn from your collective wisdom.

A few things to take into consideration:

1) Portuguese people are fed up with immigrants. So keep that in mind. I'm Portuguese and i can guarantee you that's the general sentiment. The government wants cheap labour to feed its cancerous tourism economy, that's absolutely terrible for the future of the country, but the population hates such policies.

2) Plenty of immigrants were found to be living in the streets after unfulfilled promises of housing and employment. We really don't have great opportunities here and plenty of employers are simply looking for modern slaves.

3) It's incredibly hard to find a place to live, even if you're a Portuguese with an OK salary. Immigrants will experience extra difficulty finding a place to live. Besides, of course, competing with the natives for the very few homes available, and pissing them off. To put it in perspective, minimum wage is 700 euros, and the cheapest apartment i can find to rent in my city is around the same price. The apartment right next to mine is 800 euros, and 1000, 1200, 1500 euros is a pretty common rent price to find. Food is incredibly expensive too. You spend as much as you do in much richer european countries, but make 1/4 of the salary.

So yeah, not sure what you think you'll find here...

Welcome to BHW

Do yourself a favor and make as much money as possible before entering another country and trying to live there. Portugal is really beautiful, but depending on where you want to live, it can also be expensive.

Thank you very much, everyone. My heart is broken. All the hard work I put into my site and not one signup after these few months. All the content is unique, written by myself. I designed it myself with Oxygen Builder. It's hosted well, is superfast. But it appeaers no-one needs the information I am selling. I'm feeling quite down because I don't understand it.

Really good insight. I looked into Portugal as well and it's not a cheap place to live in at all. It's actually as expensive as living in certain US cities. Europe also has high gas prices too.
