What do I do next?

VitalityMN · Feb 2, 2015

So, here's a little boring, depressing story of myself:

I'm 19 years old, and living with my parents. Yesterday I lost my job working for a company that's shady as fuck, and was never appreciated once by the management. So I'm happy. However, I'm very scared on how I will make money now. I haven't told my parents yet that I lost my job because I don't want to be a disappointment to them, when really the reason of me losing my job was managements' fault and really stupid. My parents are in a tight enough financial situation as it is, and I don't want them to have to pay for my car insurance, gas money, etc.

So I've come to the BHW community to help me out. What do you guys think I should do? What methods will give me fast income even if it's only a very small amount? I'm just lost

I know I'm gonna get those smart asses who come in and say "They have a search feature for that" and you don't think I've tried that?

Anyways I could use everyone's, and any help I can get right now

Thank you for your time.

You want working methods? Read everything and work out which ones suit you. No need to over-dramatize on this forum.

May be the same shortcutting duties has cost you that job... Be wiser and try to take proper actions in life to become successful and a cause of real happiness to your parents.

I am sure that many will tell you to get an offline job first. Online is full of risks.

I'm sorry that you don't want to hear "Use the search" but that's what we've all had to do and if you can't be bothered to search and learn then why should anyone give up their time to help you?

Not over-dramatizing just telling you the truth and how it is. I've been reading methods for the past couple hours now. Sorting them out from which I'd like to do, and not. I just want other peoples' opinion as well. Two brains are better than One.

Start selling article writing while you set up your own stuff

Calling the people who might tell you to experiment and try for yourself "smart asses" is not going to attract any expert opinions your way.

Maybe changing the attitude is the first step there. You're not entitled to anything, much less free help. If you want honest help you better humble down that tone and kindly request precise opinions, not "OMG I am a victim I have no money you HAVE to help me".

This is exactly what I mean -_- I call them "smart asses" because I always see them, and they don't think people have used the feature. Did you not ready my previous comment? Also, not once did I say "OMG" or tell people they "HAVE" to help me. You must have to steep really low to make assumptions about someone, and say they aren't entitled to anything. I'm just looking for help. Not your negative feedback about me as a person.

I greatly appreciate you adding your opinion to your comment. I will continue to search for methods as well as offline work. Thank you

Join all of the freelancing sites, see which gigs/jobs are in high demand, learn how to do those gigs, and sell your service on there.

smartboyhere · Feb 2, 2015

Start some fiver gigs and sell your service there and after getting decent amount invest the money with some working methods..
Before starting try to research and study the whole BHW forum, how the newbie banked with IM.

strawlink · Feb 2, 2015

Go through to money making section, There are numerous of thread which are still having good method to earn. No one will spoon feed you, Try few of the method and implement them by putting your own twist. Fast money won't last long, so go for steady income instead.

P.s: you can go with PPD/CPA as well.

Thanks

Here's what you do. Reduce costs and start producing.

You go sell your car, take the money, invest it all in some part of IM you master (either SEO on authority sites, churns, buying fb ads, PPD, or whatever you know what to do).

Don't know IM? No worries. Go to ebay, see what's selling, what's hot, buy products cheap from aliexpress and sell for profits (either on ebay or locally). Tip: Iphone 6 covers are selling now, the crazier the designs the better.

There are tons of opportunities out there, take few days to think on it, find a thing you love doing and profit from it. Make a plan, get organized and focus the hell out of it!

Take your profits, reinvest, don't spend all profits on bullshit like a moron, do this cyclically and by this time next year you'll be in a place where lack of money is the least of your problems and you can live like a king investing in other people's work. You'll let the money work for you.

Whatever you do, focus 110% on it, set an end goal, don't worry about the journey, worry about the destination and never stop till you're there (your initial plan will most likely change, be ready to adapt to new events and changes and BE FOCUSED).

Also start building relationships with people you don't normally meet. Start knowing influental people, introduce yourself to strong people in your community, see how you can help them, nurture those relationships because they can help you in ways you can't imagine. Also look for opportunities, be courageous, have the balls to walk up to a bigshot in your city and say "hey man, I'm [insert your name here]. I know your business is [insert niche here]. I can help you grow your business and I don't want any money for it." Help him with something minor, that benefits him and doesn't take much of your time. There will be a time when you will get repaid tenfold from this friendship.

Or, keep your car, get another job and become the ant you'll be forever. If you have no balls to risk it at 19 years, for sure you won't risk it at 30.

Live a life of mediocrity as a sheep or one of success as a lion. No matter what, it's all up to you, YOU can change who you are, all it needs is focus, passion and doing things not for the money but for perfection. With success comes money.

You sir have just motivated me so much, you have no idea.

I've been an EDM music producer for 5 years, and have had releases on iTunes so I'd say I'm pretty good at that I guess... I've thought about selling rights for $5 a pop to YouTubers but I don't know how I'd be able to get in contact

srb888 · Feb 2, 2015

I am not a musician myself but I know that Fiverr can help you produce some of the best advertisement jingles, songs, music pieces, or even training materials (for kids, etc) for the global clients. Try that for a beginning... There are no shortcuts, and you have to find the clients either yourself, or purchase some related service. Also, there are good musicians on this forum too. Find them and send your portfolio link to them. May be they can judge you better on that common ground. This is one approach you can take to earn some money.

My suggestion to you is also don't keep your parents in the dark about the lost job. It will pain them more to know about it from a third party...

P.S.:

I don't know what EDM music is, but I did a Google search and found some interesting info...
Google:
how to sell OR promote edm music

This newly found motivation won't last forever. You need to find your own motivation source. This nobody can help you with except yourself. Open your eyes, I'm still thanking the person who opened my eyes a long time back.

Who opens your eyes and how?

What do I do next?
