Yes, as I wrote in the title, I lost my job very unexpectedly (not covid related and not an IM business). Don't have any big savings. I got 1 or 2 months to re-construct an income. Got a wife and 2 children.
First of all, I am not in a pity and I don't want to give any sad feelings about this, I'm sure that I can definitely stand up again and survive. I wouldn't be this much anxious if I'm alone, but with kids I'm too concerned.

I just need some IM advices.

I'm in IM business for 10+ years. I made good amount of money sometimes but not constantly. I always searched ways to stable internet income. But it was always up and down.
Now it's time for me to accelerate the internet income process.

These are my skills: WP site construction, content writing, SEO, link building, Facebook, Instagram, FB and Google ads. E-commerce, Shopify, Woocommerce. Music making. Video editing. All kind of Social Media Marketing.
Yes, it seems like bullsh*t but I have these skills between average and very good level.

I've got Adsense with 3 sites approved in it. And I got membership for all kind of affiliate systems. Clickbank, Bluehost, Shopify, Clickfunnels, JV, CJ, Ebay etc.

The key of so many of these systems (or any other IM thing) is: The Traffic

SEO is a good way but it take too much time

I want to drive traffic that can be convert from Adsense or any above affiliate systems.
It must be delivered fast and not too expensive. I mean making the traffic arbitrage in a low level.
And it must be somehow guaranteed, cause don't have a luxury to spend too much money and getting broke fast.

I know that so many of you cracked the code of these kind of stuff and may be don't want to share your secrets.
But I had to ask.

What is your content writing like?

Where are you based and is English first language?

Sorry to hear about your job. Hitting freelancing is hard without much notice... id not aim for the 2-5k jobs as someone posted here you need to look at your monthly income I think you said you need a grand? ($1000) so you want to break jobs down to cover that first worry about profit later.

Doesn't matter if the job is only $200 you get 5 of them and you hit your target 2 more and your almost half of next month covered.

IF you think you can make JR VIP work then go for it, but I think you would need to hustle hard and fast. 2 months will go in no time at all.

What about delivery jobs or night work packing shelves etc? I know it's shit work but you got two kids man so sometimes you have to suck up your pride and do what's best for them, work through your down hours to get the side business or freelancing established enough where you can focus on that only and will cover your bills.

Trying to make it in "IM" during this time would just be a waste of time.

Try to sell your services on freelancing platforms like upwork, fiverr etc (buy few reviews to boost the offerings).

You can also upgrade to Jr VIP and start selling website making services here on BHW (if you good at that)

You can post on few subreddits to make simple 5 pager wordpress websites for free. You'll get a lot of customers. Then just ask them to purchase a hosting through your affiliate link. That'll give you $30-50 affiliate commission for an hour of work to build simple 3-5 pager wordpress websites :)

That last idea is awesome! I've seen the same for clickfunnels. People set up your funnel for free if you sign up on their link. The commission is a recurring 50$ a month I believe.
 
There is 1 way I no that works but a lot of internet marketers only use this method when low on cash and need boosting their income.

Method.

You go on jvzoo or ClickBank you look for marketing software that selling but also let you buy the app to change the brand to your own.

You change all brand info and you resell the app like yours.

Like I say it something that does work and with correct info knowing and seeing what buzzing in apps can earn serious money.

I am only telling you as you got children and wife.

Good luck.

Rebranding not for everyone as it involves buy the app and knowing design work, but can make huge money.

Yes, you just upload it back to jvzoo and ClickBank with your brand, affiliates also will try and join you.

A lot of marketers class it as cheating but it works.

Your get the odd marketer do this for a living, we are talking $5k to $25k a month, you just need redesign skill and promoting skills.

Remember because it a new rebranded app, the keywords are all fresh so google position and indexing and promoting very easy, the more you push an affiliate program for the rebranded app the more you earn.

Jvzoo and Clickbank are HOT good for this type of business, the reach is perfect.

Wouldn't even surprise me you earn the 1k in a day if you research what selling HOT and redesign everything your way.

If anyone tell you it don't work their in need of mental hospital 50% of apps on mainstream marketing websites are all rebranded .

I'd start from drop shipping because it's the quickest source of money.

How you work that out, there 90days for refunds allowed with PayPal and 60 days with alixespress you not safe from the sales until the refund days have passed.

So I don't think it is the fastest way to earn sorry.

It a great way to get a business running for cheap but income another story .
 
We are truely sorry to hear this man. If I were you, ill tweak my cv and start looking for a new job instead of trying to figure out a way online. It may take years for someone to make a way.
 
You should start im with your real job
Not now
Find another real job
Im is not to make money in 2 weeks
 
The shortest way is to join a platform that already has traffic and replicate other ppl services.
U can start with:
Fiverr or SEOClerk
 
I was in your position before.

I wanted to move my job said there will be an opening in the new state.

Long story short

New state no job

I had few sites making money then google updated,

Lost my job and my sites in couple of months.

Out of work for few months

I speak english but I moved to San Diego close to mexico so I had hard time getting job at mcdonalds, etc

Dont treat any day as a vacation

Forget IM

From sunrise to sundown look for a job

If have car, think uber, instacart or other ride share

The more days pass without money the more desperate you get

Good suggestion. I think OP needs to try this and if he has website designing skills as he stated.

if you have 2 months to restore your income, I wouldn't recommend to make a shot with IM.

If you know how to build websites, then it would be a better chance to sell those skills instead.

You can sell $2-5k Wordpress websites and you need a single client every month to earn salary level income.

WordPress with SEO services.
 
@qazqaz - which country you live in?

like many have said here, do not rely on IM as your primary source of income, specially since you have wife and kids. go and get a traditional job. IM should be your hustle job on the side, not your primary income.

keep you chin up and be thankful for what you have: wife and kid.
 
2 months to make a solid 1k per month will take a lot of work.

Is there a chance you can find a simple filler job in the meantime while you work on getting income from IM/side hustles? (like delivery driver, etc.)

Since you can already have a good set of skills, you can always advertise yourself on social media/friends/do local posting for your services, etc.

Do you have access to a program such as Unemployment Insurance? Might be able to look into something like this if you lost your job and it wasn't your fault.

Good luck in these times and I'm wishing you the best, it's never fun to be in this situation.

I'm not a native English speaker, so don't have high level content writing skills.
I've got no problem with any kind of work and start one of them to have a cash flow.
But I know there is a huge potential on IM and yes it's not a easy and quick approach, but I have experience as I mentioned before.
Thanks for your input.

Nope, I don't have any "Unemployment Insurance". So I need to keep it up for myself only.
