Hi guys,
Sorry I have not been around for a little bit, things have been difficult lately. I have been struggling to get a consistant internet connection, plus from day to day I am struggling to eat regularly, there is charities about that supply food but can be difficult been in there, as the vibe is horrible, there is people in there with serious drug and alcohol problems, like people who have been homeless for at least 10 years with serious alcohol problems.
I am remaining positive though and want to thank everyone for the motivational comments and hopefully I will get there but it's super hard when your at rock bottom.
Here is an update on what I have done recently.
- I have managed to get an aws vps from amaon.
- On the vps I have managed to install FF + Imacros - ie youtube commenter macro I have created.
- The imacros is working fine. However, when I disconnect from my computer, the vps doesn't seem to keep running, so not sure why that is for ?
- I have another 100 comments to do - however, this time it will be directed at the english market.
Some good news, when I checked my account yesterday, I now have $53 in credit
All the sign ups where spanish, however, the rate is lower than the uk and usa but none the less, it's $53, however, I wish it was 10 times the amount, as this would seriously help me get off the street and into accomodation.
I feel i have 2 battles on my hand at the moment, the one to survive and eat on a daily basis and the other to try get an internet connection, so that I can do my work.
-----------------------
I am going to take some of the advise shared here and start some freelance accounts, however, I have uploaded some gigs already, however, I am struggling to get my first sale.
--------------------------
Sorry I don't have a lot to update, that is all I have been able to do since the last time I updated here. Which is a little dissapointing.
I don't know if anybody can help with this but I managed to get a client for 200 euros, I had finished the SEO Work, I done everything promised to the client, she sent me 200 euros through paypal, I was so happy, however, what I didn't realise is since that my account was brand new and under 60 days old, paypal actually put a hold on the money...
What i decided to do, was refund the client and ask if they can bank transfer, the client is now been an asshole and is telling me she wont bank transfer, as she said she never agreed to it. So wtf!
She has no idea on my situation, however, she has totally fucked me up.. I can't call her, as i don't have the money to pay for a phone call...she is been difficult on purpose. She knows now, she will get away with this.. but I am not gonna lie, it really has annoyed me! It's not fair.
how do you get amazon vps?.. when you dont have credit/debit card?.. please teach me.. anyway goodluck to your journey mate..
It's amazing what people can magic out of the air.

Did you seriously ask a homeless person to make time and teach you how to get an Amazon VPS...? This guy has bigger problems than helping you get q free server dude.

I met an english guy who was on vacation, I asked him for a cigarette, we got talking, I told him about my situation and he gave me 20 euros. The local post office sells prepaid debit cards for 6 euros. So I went and purchased one.I can also save money in this account to.
With the vps, I have managed to get a vps with amaon and google.

Hey bro,
Things could be better but still staying positive. I have internet access for now, however, I will loose it again soon, so trying to make the most off it.
I haven't reallly done much recently regarding marketing, however, I have just logged into my account and I have had 1 more person sign up through my affiliate link
I also noticed I have $53 in my account now, so I am currently looking for a cheap hostel to stay for a few days.
Will be nice to sleep in a real bed, however, I am a little paranoid, as my feet stink and others may complain, so will probably get a wash in the disabled toilets before going there.
How are you

I really would like a job, however, the locals tend to get a look in before a foreigner. I also don't speak spanish so good, so the language barrier is a bit difficult too.

You are in Spain? or in South America?
At least in Spain in super common to ask for money on the street. You know about marketing, I bet you can make a good signboard and ear about 20-30€/day. Try around churches and supermarkets (people get cash). Another thing a lot of people do is selling tissues on the traffic lights.
With that at least you can afford for bed and food. And in the night you can work in the IM thing.

I do know of people who beg, however, I just can't do it. They generally earn enough money to buy alcohol or drugs then spend the rest of the day drinking or getting high. I know a couple of people as well who go around looking in the trash for food. They tend to have enough to share with me.. before you pull any faces in disgust, you would be surprised at what people throw away in the trash.Sandwiches that are still in there packaging, buscuits, crisps *or potato chips if your america*
I will not eat anything that has been opened, only if it's still in it's packaging and it looks good and also important to smell it as well, to ensure it hasn't gone off.
I don't look in the trash myself, however, the others do encourage me to do so, however, I just can't. I hate it when people look at you up and down. It's the same for begging, I just can't do it, it's a lot harder than you think to just go up to people, feeling like shit, looking like shit and asking for money. Just not my style! The time I got the 20 euros of an english guy, it was pure luck, all i was wanting was a cigarette, then he carried on talking to me and he was asking me what i was doing, so i just told him straight, I am homeless.
As time has gone on, I have started to find out about more charities that are around, where you can go for food, others let you shower too. However, the people visiting these tend to be a bit shady and i don't feel comfortable taking my laptop there. I have already had my mobile phone stolen of me when i was sleeping! I know of others who have had there whole bags stolen, with everything they have in that one bag. There is also homeless hostels, that have a lottery thing going on, where a ton of people are lining up for a bed for 1 or 2 nights, however, not everyone is selected and only a certain few are chosen. That still doesn't make it advertising, as these people are full of people who have been homeless for at least 10 years, with serious alcohol or drug problems, or in some cases, both.
I am not begging for money, I will get out of this situation myself. I have already made a start!
Last night, with the $53 I have earned, I spent the night in a fairly nice hostel, with a room that accomodates 6 people. Lucky for me, the 2 americans staying here were out partying till early hours of the morning. The other couple, came back late, so I had the whole room to myself
The downside is that I have to check out tomorrow at 11am :-(
So plans for today are to get talking to the girl who owes me money and do some more IM. Most of my signups that I have getting are spanish or latino. So the market I will be focusing on at the moment will be this market!
Dude,
Respect.
I think being homeless in a foreign country would rank right up there on the list of people's nightmare situations they'd never want to be in. I don't have much advice to give.
But you have my respect.
Hat's off to ya.
When you do pull yourself out of your current situation ...
Do you realize how STRONG you are going to be?
When you can say that you survived what might be hell for most people?
And you pulled yourself out of it?
Respect.

100% - I know it will not be an overnight solution. However, looking at what I have done so far and the signups I have had, eventually, I will be back on my feet. However, the only thing that is killing me, is when will that day be ? That's the million dollar question! However, feeling a lot better staying in a hostel with real, normal people, where you don't have to really care about other homeless people trying to steal off you!

Thanks for your kind words. Life is a journey and like one big learning curve! Trust me, this learning curve has been very tough, one of the hardest fights I have had in my life. However, I am determined that I will get myself out of this shit.
