How would you save yourself if you end up with nothing?

If I even am thinking about such high IQ scenarios in the first place, maybe I am where OP wants us all to be already.

Imagine, all your online projects are bankrupted. And you ended up with nothing.

And you work with a dead end job to live by paycheck to paycheck, just to not end up homeless and get by.

But you have some experiences with online marketing and coding in the past.

And you curse at life everyday. How would you get rid of this situation and how would you start from scratch?

No family. No money. No nothing. Just a shitty job. And past computer and online related experiences.

Had such situation going, did NOT get a 'normal' job. It's not a good deal to get one if you had even modest business experience.

I’d start by listing my marketable skills. Such as, coding and online marketing—then pick one service and offer cheap gigs on platforms like Upwork or Fiverr. Next, I’d build a simple portfolio site with past work to look legit. I’d use those first gigs to earn a few hundred bucks, save it, and reinvest in a low-cost course or tool to level up. At the same time, I’d hang out in niche forums and social groups, share free tips to build trust, and pitch better clients. Step by step, gig by gig, I’d raise my rates and climb out of that dead-end job.

I’d flip the script by giving away value first. Jump into coder and marketing forums, answer questions, fix people’s tiny website bugs for free, and collect those thank-you testimonials. Then I’d turn those into paid gigs: slap a simple “1-Hour Fix” page on a cheap domain and pitch local shops or solo entrepreneurs. While that’s rolling, I’d bang out quick YouTube or TikTok tutorials—nothing fancy, just real tips. Stick some affiliate links in the description, and watch the pennies trickle in. Before long, you’ve got a mini-income stream, a growing portfolio, and you’ve ghosted that crap paycheck-to-paycheck life.
