Case study . THE BUM . Make money with no money.

[theundreamer]

To be honest I was even offering my friend help. He said to me "If this internet thing of yours works out I might even consider it"

Well I told him: "Well if you do, look me up, I'll try to help you get right into it instead of investing money and time that'll take you a month before seeing your first profits"

... yeah.

I'd like to learn AND teach. BH rules!

He also has a P.O. box as well .

How does a bum afford a PO Box? Can't afford to eat but don't wanna miss that junk mail. Are you sure he's not one of those pros who hops in his car and drives home after pan-handling?

Simple i got it for him . Costed me 5.00 figured it was the least i could do for him helping me out and prove a point.

 

[foxandrew]

Wow ! Really dude, there are not enough people like you out there !
But do you imagine if he ends up getting a few hundreds per day, in a few weeks or months from now..Or even thousands/day, who knows..

Not only are you doing something extremelly good by helping him out, but this could crank up your credibility on the IM market (no disrespect,I don't know anyone here so..)

And if he gets to that level eventually.. that would be a crazy story for promoting a product !
Frank Kern did the same but his story was about a Navy pilot who learnt IM..
...
Navy Pilot <---> Street Bum
..lol
Anyway, nice job man !

 

[valwardon]

Wow holy smokes i like that Navy Pilot versus street bum . Yeahh .

The homeless folks where you live must be a lot more sane than the homeless folks where I live. This kind of thing would never happen in Philadelphia. In the time it would take you to type in your password to log him in, he'd have stolen your shoelaces, keys, any change in your pocket, and the zipper and buttons from your jeans. Then he'd start screaming, "FLAGA! FLAGANAGTA! NATATATA! ZABIDABIDOO!" or something unintelligible about how we are in the Matrix and you are Agent Smith, just before stabbing you with the business end of a year-old hypo filled with cat urine and the blood of a newly born bird.

I'm from Philly and I can vouch for this.

When I first read OP's post, I thought it was a clever analogy for something, but I'm glad to see that it's not, and you're actually helping this dude out - That's pretty cool.

Hey Val, like alot of people, i've lurked for quite awhile in here looking for ideas to make some bank. I became a member in here not too long ago and this is my first post. I'm not one who is normally moved by gestures and such, but I'm glad to have come across this thread and see what you have done with this person. Kudos to you! I'm quite green when it comes to all the technical in and outs that are spoken about in here but just reading that just kinda has to give you a boost. Hope to learn alot here. Thanks!

 

[valwardon]

Well I am touched .I have a program that I will be opening up here in about 1 day or so . Maybe even tonight who knows . It is geared towards newbies . It will allow newbies to conect with mentor in a freelance type of style to give them that hand holding that they need.

 

[valwardon]

Nah need to think outside the box to make oney on CL specially now days .

By the way my site is now open and active and ready for newbies . With a 5.00 preloaded credit into your account to place your first job .

Get the hand holding you need and hire a mentor .

 

[bvb]

so did the bum have any computer knowledge?

 

[valwardon]

Yes was quite acute to the computer as well as writing . His grammar and english where better than mine .

That was faaast......they say that those who succeed when they hear something they take MASSIVE ACTION fast. I guess we should take a cue from you on this

 

[badboy_Nick]

Thats a very inspirational post lol ... and I thought it was about bum-marketing ... and it IS lol. You just made my day, good stuff!

 

[beefsupreme]

Wow this is really nice of you, helping that bum out. Makes me wanna help out aswell, unfortunately I have to help myself before I can help others. Yes, I'm a noob at this, for the time being anyway.

 

[smileyd]

Valwaldron, Im impressed with your website, though when I click on browse projects I get this error.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in /home/vladious/public_html/browseproject.php on line 1225

I hope this site gets off its feet.

 

[Sanitarium]

Now, if you can do this with a crack head bum (yes there are bum variations) and get him to make money without buying crack thereafter you are a super hero!

 

[bvb]

I wonder if your help could just be helping his alcohol habit? hah

 

[peter1988]

Bum marketing now adays not easy to get more traffic....but it still works ...


i guess i still stick to PPC marketing...

 

[valwardon]

Today he has made a hair more than yesterday though not much . He still made more than me as yesterday was a negative profit day for me Updating implementing my idea trying to get it out there as well .

I thnk most people the problem with earning an online income is they have a security isssue . They need someone to hold there hand and say hey this is how you do it !!

Which is where I hope my website comes into help .

Oh yeah the syntax error I am having someone look at . It should be fixed tomorrow .

 

[jahpo]

Great thread, great idea. Looking forward to the website, might be able to be a newb and learn some new techniques and bid on some jobs to teach whatever I happen to know.

And now you can even get the 'bum' you're mentoring to be a mentor on your new site and make even more money....
