I'm losing hope

remember Op, "Through failures, you learn". Don't lose hope just yet :)

Take a break online and get a job, once you have money to invest then go back to IM.
 
My only recommendation is not to lost faith, to keep strong and the most important thing to believe in yourself and believe that you will find the way to get, and do what you want. try to find what makes you happy, focus in all the good things you have in your life... the better you feel, they happy you get and is like magic... those positives feelings will bring in your life all the keys to open the doors that are close now. I'm a big law of attraction believer and it does works. do not loos yourself. you are here to be happy and you can be happy from now. is just your decisions and if you take the right one you will find magic in ur life. cheers
 
$50 and 100 hours wasted.
You have NOT wasted anything. You invested 50$ in yourself. You invested 100 hours in yourself and you have learned a valuable lesion.
Now you can chose to give up, or to keep going. It's up to you.
 
Unfortunately, all such threads finish by discouraging people even more. In the same time, mostly everything which was written in this thread is true. Internet & English is a good place to start.

Most people making money online are not geniuses. They are average guys ( including myself) who didn't give up. Period.

Basically you are asking where you can offer your services in an easy manner and make good money. It's difficult because people who make easy money won't tell you especially to avoid getting the place overcrowded. And to make money with no money invested is again almost impossible.

When you are young, you want things to happen. And fast, very fast. Unfortunately making money is rarely like that in real life and almost never on internet. Do yourself a favor and learn some rare skills. What you add to your skills bucket is what will differentiate you from others and you won't need an advice in the future.
 
Try to do something free: tumblr, youtube, twitter, instagram,... Do something like making your own youtube content video.
 
You are on this forum since 2 month and you tried every method? I am working on one method since about 1 year and didn't really master it yet. If you try one day and give up the other, there is nothing anyone can do for you.
You have no more money? Guess what. That's where most people here started. There is free hosting everywhere. Go write some content and start a website... Stop crying

I've read literally every method on this forum and most of them are awesome and can make you nice money, but they do require the work and cost of running websites that need articles written and SEO done, e.t.c. I've bought a website and it has failed miserably due to numerous reasons, to the point of no redemption, = $50 and 100 hours wasted. I don't have any more money to waste on websites.

What I would like to know from you guys, as cliche/generic as this question may sound, are there "methods" that have you do something other than send people to a landing page or run a website or whatever? For example re-selling a gig on Fiverr (but that can't be done these days due to over-saturation on Fiverr of course.)

I've tried applying for Amazon MTURK to do tasks because that has potential, but I'm not a almighty Murican living in the best country in the world full of the bestest amazingest people so Amazon thinks I'm shit and denies my application, I've even sent messages to support asking them to review my application but to no avail. Other micro-task sites like Clickworker and Microworkers are useless as there aren't any offers. GPT sites are useless and the only good thing I've found so far is posting on forums with Postloop, which has earned me $70 in the past two months, but due to a lack of motivation and a dwindling supply of forums to post on, that has become a lost hope. I've read everything on forums such as /r/Beermoney and I do visit /r/SlaveLabour every now and then to do some tasks, (these are Reddit threads) but I don't even bother reading things on those "Make Money Online" websites because 99% of those articles are just sponsored/affiliate crap.

I'm not interested in going to university(college) due to personal reasons. I want to make money while I'm in High School (Grade 11 at the moment) so that I can leave home with a car and a house to buy (at least on credit, obviously I won't have 2 million Rand by then), the problem is a lack of opportunities, motivation and methods. I love the idea of making USD because thanks to our president, who has 120+ counts of corruption and has less education than I do, the Rand gets weaker every time he opens his mouth, which is nice for me. I can't do drop shipping and stuff like that because I'm not 18. I have tried buying cheap Chinese stuff like phone covers on eBay and selling them here for profit with moderate success, but shipping does take 2 months which is painful.

If anyone could recommend anything other than article writing, which I'm not exactly good at, I would really appreciate it. Searching on Google and forums has gotten me this far, getting real advice from real people, I would assume, can get me a little further. Thanks.

EDIT: Sorry for stupid title, I know it sounds whiney but I'm here to ask, not to complain.

I played LOL 900 hours and im still shit player,you think making money is easier?

And how you tried every method in 2 months? Im trying lamest method preparing it for about 1-2 months and didn't even start it,and you did all forum methods in 2 months lol!
 
Don't lose hope, man. Sometimes it takes years to figure out how to make money on your own without a "normal" job. If it was easy, then everybody would be doing it, after all. I know how you feel, though. I tried a lot of different things (running websites, promoting NSFW stuff, promoting SFW affiliate offers, CPA offers, etc), and most of them didn't make me a dime. After way more time than I would have liked, I figured out how to make a living, though. Here's my advice:

1) Work from your strengths. This is one that seems dead obvious, but you might be focused on "What will make the most money?!," and practically ignoring some skills that might benefit a lot of potential customers. I sure did this when I was younger, and I would say it's the number 1 reason it took me so long to get sustainable income. It's easier to sell what you are good at than something you are not really good at that "makes lots of money." You may even subconsciously think "Oh, I'm not good enough at [X] to sell it," but think again. Someone somewhere will want what you have to offer. You don't have to get things done perfectly, you just have to get things done. You'd be surprised how many customers will be excited to have you simply because you are reliable, even if you're not that skilled.

2) Accept that good things are built little by little. Things may not be going as fast as you want them to, but guess what? Even your mistakes are a step forward because at least you know what not to do now. Building a good business is a slow process.

3) Transform active income into passive income. Not everyone does this of course, but it's part of the whole "little by little" thing. You might have to start off working for peanuts and doing everything yourself before you can scale it up and make passive income. I made the mistake of starting with that mindset of doing as little work as possible and making everything passive, but the fact is that the best way to get others to do work for you is to first learn the ins and outs yourself. Yes, this means that sometimes you will be doing work that is "beneath" you. For example, with your whole Fiverr dilemma; yeah, you could start out trying to resell gigs...or you could start out fulfilling the gigs yourself with that skill I mentioned above, and then slowly find reliable people that you can hire to replace your labor, until that income stream is passive. Since you have the skill yourself, you can make up for the flakiness of others and you can also understand the details of what the job entails. Again, work from your strengths.

Also, it's a good idea to have more than one source of income. Use a skill that you have to start a service that genuinely benefits people and collect as many customers as you can, so you will have consistent cash coming in even if you lose a few customers here and there. Anyway, that's just my two cents. I suggest starting with a freelancing site and working your way from there, if you want specifics; remember that the things that make money are the things that are in demand from other people, so focus on filling that demand. Just be persistent and you will be okay.

Edit: BTW, I don't recommend MTurk. They pay less than peanuts; they pay the crumbs that are left at the bottom of the peanut bag. Even Fiverr pays more than MTurk, generally, and you can actually build something of a service and reputation there.

It's not about brute forcing every method until one works.
It's about learning to sift through the bull s**t and finding gold.
But even if you have the perfect blue print laid out in front of you,that will make you rich in a years time, are you going to have the motivation to execute it?
The best type of motivation is having fun with what you do^ Well that and money of-course^^^

Best advice i can give ya is be wary of open doors :P
 
Motivation

try the sex upload method maybe have fun at same time.

you might need a rest

have a shower, take dog for walk, have big coffee, read the porn uploading method, give it a go....

all the best im get depressed ok it about keep going and learn to lauth and learn to accept sometimes we win sometimes we lose

try to change attitude to what your doing try to
enjoy what your doing and have fun .

im is hard to learn, untill you succeeded, but it fun ,you dont need a boss
That make you fill depressed, im a grate job becouse
the more you fail the more you learn and eventually you start earning
and get even more fun .... Trust me change your attitude ...

Dont give up there millions to make online your
regreat it.

Eventually your see im jobs advertised in windows and job magazines
im becomming very popular as a popular job

You keep fsiling but eventualky you will get success
some im take years just to do a project your in front just trying.

You dont need no money ,you can use free donains and free vps ,and other stuff
money only needed when you already made money ,to up sales or bigger methods
try small free methods.

did you no students from school use free methods and it pays for there education or
housing or fun at school , it can be done , just never give up.

then crate a free website and know add adsence and then start writting blogs pointing to the website and know add cpa offers eventually your get sales

Good luck bro

The way I see it OP, there is either hope or no hope. There isn't an in between. The thing that really matters is the level of inspiration, motivation, and perseverance you have. From what I've read, you'd be better off learning how to get motivated more than which method you should use. Everyone has likely heard "work smart, not hard". Well if you want to get ahead in life and really succeed, especially in IM, you have to work smart AND hard. That means taking action and working your butt off until something works. Once you find something that works, focus on it and expand upon it. Once you're satisfied with the results, move along and find something else. I don't think anyone expects you to read every single method on here, let alone try them all. That'd be ridiculous.

You say you've made $70 in the last two months with postloop. You realize that sets you ahead of the majority of people who try IM, right? When I first started the mere idea of making money from home was fascinating. When I finally did, my mind was blown. I've never given up since, even during difficult times when I had to adapt. Actually, the only reason I'm on BHW at this moment is because I'm reading up on some stuff to add to what I'm already doing.

I've spent plenty of time freelancing and I can say, without a doubt, that the biggest factor in Non-American/British freelancers not getting hired (regardless of experience level) is lack of English skills. You don't seem to have that problem, which gives you quite an advantage there.

Anyways, a couple of quotes and I'm done.

"Ideas are $***. Execution is everything." - Gary Vaynerchuk

"Failure is not a permanent condition." - Not a clue!




I played LOL 900 hours and im still a (censored) player,you think making money is easier?

Making money is definitely easier than LoL laugh out loud :p
 
go to university/college, study a program you are passionate about.

IM is really crap, it's more of a pipedream than it is reality.

Go buy a husky pup.
 
OP your problem is quite simple. You think there is some magic ways to riches on the Internet, 99.99% of the time there isn't. You need to start small and make your way up in life.

The good thing about IM is when you know what you are doing, you can make a killing. Better than any 9 - 5. Aim low then high, not try to go in for the kill, because it most likely will not happen.
 
keep pushing it man, use up to 50% of your offline salary to churn and burn. Learn sucks, but it all we have to swallow
 
1. Goto Fiverr.
2. Find a popular "Animated" or "Whiteboard" or "Powerpoint" gig.
3. Message the user and try to get a discount (I got a gig that would have been $150 down to $80 simply because I said that was my only budget)
4. Contact local businesses (I would suggest buying a domain name, a cheap .info will do. Also grab hosting. A hostgator 1 cent coupon will do so you can email 250 per hour without being spammy)
5. Email 250 business every hour (use an email scraper or simply cut and paste from whitepages, manta etc etc)
6. Offer them the chance to have a custom animated video to promote their business in full HD for the mere sum of $200 (or more if you're feeling confident in your sales ability)
7. If they accept get them to pay you via paypal, they can charge back should you be a scammer (which of course you're not) and go get the video made, copy and paste the business wants and needs to your fiverr user so he/she knows what to make.
- 7.1 . Sometimes they will drive a hard bargain and drive the price down. I never accepted anything under $120 so just remember to always accept more than your video costs (duh!)
8. Lets say it takes you 2 hours to contact 500 business and only 2 say yes. That's $240 clean cash in your paypal for 2 hours work after video costs.

No skills required, under $5 startup costs (hosting and domain), no need to actually run a website, you can resell ANYTHING. DO IT!
