Tmobile 3g and a hotspot at the place we work out of.

The libraries in your area probably have free internet too so you could go there as well and get decent internet to do some things.

 

[b1step-ahead]

put ads on craigslist for $99 websites. Just use a template and fill in basic info - up sell hosting, updates, seo etc.. at that price point no one really cares about quality to a point.

After you get 10 or so done bump it up to $199 websites till your back on your feet with cash flow.

Because i was in the back of my van working in Linux, PHP, C++ etc.
So people would call the police and accuse me of "hacking".
I am stuck in an area where a lot of elderly live. They see it on tv or a movie and next thing I'm being stopped, searched and seized.
Because i am homeless and no legal support the police can do pretty much whatever they want to us.

Pretty sure you are in the US from what you have written as it seems you do not health insurance.

I'd suggest looking into freelancing, upwork etc. Sure it might now be what you imagine as IM but you need to make money.

- Look into the health exchange (depending on your state) to see if you can get an OK plan to pay for treatment (not talking cortisone ad hoc treatment) but go see a neurologist and see if you are a candidate for Tysabri (check for JC virus first) etc.
Many programs have copay assistance programs so as long as you can get some insurance you often have $0 copay (as the cheap plans have ridiculously high amounts here).
You need to get it under control or you will just get back to square 1 again, so making money to at best pay for cortisone IVs.

Go on
- Upwork and get a profile
- Are you good at anything? writing? design? etc.? That's where you should look first to get money right now while you work on IM projects. While I understand being homeless often prevents you from getting a job try to go to local charities, shelters, food banks... so you can save a few $ on foods maybe get some employment assistance etc.

Good luck

You look like David Letterman!
Start up a homeless-talk-show.
This is your destiny.

Lmao. I would love to.

 

[SiddharthW]

As I already stated. I have stage 2 MS with POTS. Physical work just won't do. I wish I could.

That's bad. Very Bad. Honestly, I tried to think What I can suggest you and I don't know what you can do except hustling Online. Take care

I will look into the medical again. Last I tried o just got a run around.
I am great with backend IT and security. Well versed in system management. Worked for a couple ISP's when you didn't need a degree.
We are ok with web development and exposure.
The wife does photography so that helps there.
I am ok with writing but not great.
My smm is crap though. Still learning but a friend is going to take some of it on. He's a meme master lol.

 

[luciferxe]

Remember that homeless guy with the radio voice? You might honestly have something even better.
The headline sells itself:

'Homeless David Letterman' Interviews the Dramatic Life Stories of Homeless Guests in Famous Talk-Show-Van

You share some of your revenue with your homeless guests, and before you know it you become Homeless Letterman Jesus.

Honestly i may try this out.

Some people have helped @blackhathobo with some basic stuff. Here is his journey

I followed an hobo on youtube, feel sad for him and donated some money to from time to time as did the others.. then the retard invested that money into the bitcoin scheme that went down some time ago i dont remember the name.. and turned out that retard wasnt even an hobo after all, i was the poor one.

In other words: it works.

 

[luciferxe]

That does sound great. I just don't really have an idea for topics on it.
Maybe just general info on homelessness or more of a vlog?
Maybe banter with the wife and guests time to time?
Also, would it be better to host it on youtube or my own site? I get a 10gbps dedicated line with 100TB xfer a month and CDN's are manageable for video.
Or would it be smarter to start on youtube and migrate to my own site eventually?
And if going youtube, would it be better to live stream or prerecorded?
Sorry for the questions. Any direction is a help.
I really have thought about video, but been too nervous to do it.

Clean yourself up brah,

Get rid of the beard, get someone to cut your hair. Do your best to look presentable. I'm just being real here.

I understand that. However i have sever skin issues which is why i grow the beard. Well that and the wife lol.

 

[ComputerHelp808]

I thank God I cannot relate personally to your situation but, and please take this as me being real with you, what I'm reading in your responses are excuses. Fine, can't shave the beard due to skin stuff, trim it, computer confiscated, go to the library. Library won't let you code. Use a free online resource. A business-person sees opportunities not reasons for failure.

Again, I don't know you. I don't know what you're going through. I just know to look for the positive and find a way to monetize it.

God bless,

Rick

Yes and as I stated.
Not impossible just hurdles to overcome.
However, getting hit from all sides and having your personal rights taken away because you are homeless and poor does not help.
I read and read and try to overcome.
Where I am is not easy to get online resources. Especially free.
Our libraries have limited hours and only allow 30 minutes a day.
With panhandling on top of it kills the time as well as the travel to a place like a library.
I'm not trying to say it can not be done.
I am saying it's just a lot harder from where I am in life right now.
Any extra help is welcomed but not expected.

 

[SpoonFeeder]

what I'm reading in your responses are excuses.

This is my perception as well. I too came across such couples in real life a few months ago and all I see from them is excuses and they're changing their businesses for every 10 days. Whenever I questioned why they're not sticking to a business., all I hear from this is EXCUSES. The wife acts like a child and suffers from a mental disorder and the husband being spent almost 20 years with her, can't grasp/understand that their mindset and attitude is what holding them back from success for all these years. I've personally advised them over a dozen times and pin-pointed what's wrong with them but still they carry on with their poor life building so much debt and runs to another city without repaying the loan to the creditors. This is how they were surviving for all these years. OP's scenario sounds very similar and all I can say is No matter how much help or advice we give., The change has to come within him.

Initially i was doing the amazon affiliate.
It was gaining traction. After 3 months and just enough for payout from them. They pulled our account and required us to sign up again. We did, then they found another excuse to pull it.
Now here we are restarting again.
We did stick with it for 6 months but got screwed.
We are choosing a different path for right now because we obviously need to.
We would love to drop ship. However we have no legit license or ein. No protections etc.
So yes we are choosing different routes for the sites.
We do not just try our hands in one thing but a few.
One is creators working with writing and art of all sorts.
Another is in the health field and not sure where to restart with that.
I have one i am working on for SEO work.
Another is our story.
I also have a couple apps i am working on but are slow because of limitations.
If you want to see it as excuses. All the power too ya.
Sadly it is just a conglomeration of things that are affecting the whole picture. Plus depression just does not help either.
Ohh and if MS is an excuse... You might want to understand what stage 2 does to your body and MIND!
