i am getting negative , totally discouraged, please cheer me up.

I had a nice going full time offline job, but i thought i deserved more then that. My job was to handle a team on the operations and make sure I cheer them up and make sure they are working fine and happily.

Then I decided to quit that job and take up my passion [internet marketing and web-mastering] full time. Now, its been 2 months and I have made almost nothing. I got only about $100 left in my bank account.

I've seen some success for SEO with some of my website, but that didnt bring any good money [ i think it needs a lot more time]. I have contacted some offline clients for SEO.

At this point, i am totally frustrated and discouraged. Which is resulting in fights and arguments with my family and girl friend. Please cheer me up.

I know its kinda weird, but it really helps when people talk good with you.

I will tell you the following my friend: Exactly at the point where you think that way your body produces stress. This stress can be handled negative or positive. If you let that stress make your brain think and act different to be more effective than it is a good thing. Just dont put it down and experiment more, at one point you will find the formula that works for you!
Let the negative, discouraged feelings get rage and motivation and try something different if you see the current formula doesnt work....
You have set your goal very high by having no income from IM and quitting your job for it in my opinion. Making money on the long term base is easier than just step into a market and make big money, sure it can happen but at this point it is more like gambling, and as in gambling you can have a great success but there is a high risk involved of failing to archieve that goal in a timeline someone has set and you may also gain nothing and only loose at many points.
Only the time you will experiment and make good and bad experiences will give you the knowledge of what is really good or not for you.

Off course you can do much with money, if you can set up good ad campaigns and just buy what you need to raise the chance of success you have better possibilities, so if you are able to earn some money think about some good ways to invest it in that way.
 
Has anyone considered that being a part time plumber would make much more money than most IM people here. Pick up that monkey wrench you monkey!
 
everything , any mistake start with the way how advertising messages are broadcasted to the general public :) ... I`ll not tell you from where I took this quotation but ...

In my honest opinion , everything begins with the fault of those '' success stories '' extra-super-mega promoted ; First of all , you peoples don't understand some basic things , like in OP case now ...

He had a job , good or bad none is able to say so , at the end of the day we can't be all general managers on a bank , or sexiest secretaries blonde and brainless :) ... quiting your day job to start by yourself an carrier on IM it's most foolish mistake from the world , why ? because first of all the way how your life will change ...
Yeah ... doing some IM work , in parallel with your real life it's maybe best bet for everyone ... at least until you manage and scale up enough your IM business to can afford same lifestyle level ... WHAT did you tough , you will quit your job , and you will put 2-3 spammy blogs up , hundreds of dollars start to roll into your bank account daily :)?

Well to go back into the starting point , the extreme aggressive way for advertising on this '' niche '' :) ... why I say problems start from there ? because of few things ... none of experienced peoples ( who work on full time IM ) will NEVER tell you the full pictures ... usually IM require months maybe years to become at least average experienced , none never will say full specs of requirements ( for servers - hosting , full drive tests of workflow ... and all those small details .. ) usually you see even from my experience greatest toys released to public with very weak descriptions and so on ... why ? because none into sale letter will say '' everything '' if the seller make such mistakes is like shooting himself on the foot lol ... hes sales will fall down ;)

What means success / failure from your point of view can be a very subjective aspect ... I saw peoples ( over the years ) who hit a certain level of revenue from their stuffs , then they quit / sell the websites and move on on their '' next big thing '' , I saw peoples who even try for years to accomplish the targets and never reach this point ...

In general informatics / technology evolve into such super high speeds than most of you don't even realize ... ( take example of OS ... each couple of years new OS version is released , take a look on big electronics stores , if you are buying an computer on january with $2500 , till the november maybe the price of same product will go down few hundreds , and will see at same price an more performance machine sold .... usually 15-20% ...) Same things happens on IM ... same way like technology , if you don't keep the step with the '' real time '' on this business you are going straight to a perfect point of failure :) ...
 
SEO is the stupidest thing to ditch your job for. Even if you are good at it, it takes time. You can't expect any serious money from it in the short run.

Get your job back, do SEO a few hours/day or over weekends and quit again once you are making money.
 
Honestly dude, don't give up, find something that works best for you and go for it! Look I'm 16 and I make $100+ per day online, I stuck with what I found to be the best for me and went for it. Just don't give up!

GOOD LUCK :)

no one believes that.

OP: dude. it's time to get your act together! with 100 bucks left you've still got time. stop fucking eating out and stop taking your girlfriend out. in fact next time she fights with you about IM just dump her, money over bitches. stay in the next 2-3 weeks focusing on making stacks. it's time to grind. IMO the only way to make any good money super fast is gonna be through a local business. start making really good websites and use your SEO skill to get them ranked for local keywords like "lawyer in yourcity" and hit the fuckin streets hard. if you have a website listed at the top of the first page in google for a keyword that the business owner will deem worthy (obviously lawyer in yourcity would be an epic keyword) there will be NO CHANCE of you not selling that site if you talk to each and every lawyer in your city. don't even mess around with cold calling
