Wow, this is a long thread with more excuses than I can ever count.
It struck a never with me though.
If you need some money or some way to finance your life, why worry with SEO or flipping sites when obviously you have never done this successfully?
Why not go to door and say can I mow your yard for $5, can I clean your car for $5, take out your trash for a $1? Hell, go pick up cans on the side of the road. If you can't generate $50 in a week doing this, you aren't trying.
They are a literally thousands of ways you can improve your life. I started thrifting when I was in college using the same method Jill used. Don't have a car? Get someone to take you who does. Pay the person taking you by splitting profits with you. Go to one store, spend $10, take pics, resell for $40. Give the driver $20 back and you keep $20. I literally can go to one city and shop for one day and make $1,000. At the VERY least....$500. (Literally, you can do this nearly EVERY day!)
Can you read? Walk? Type? Take a picture? You can do it too!
How bad do you really want it?
I didn't set out to sell second hand clothes on ebay, but the fact is I am making twice what my friends around here locally make with four year degrees working in banks, ect. Is it glamorous? Hell no! But I am BANKING 5k per month now and that includes paying two employees anywhere from $1000 to $2000 per month to do crap I don't like doing anymore. It wasn't long ago I started out with nothing not knowing what was the difference between Tommy Hilfiger and Giorgio Armani.
If it wasn't for having a job and finishing up my college degree, I would have already have saved up enough money to buy my first home with cash. Still, I am planning on having six figures banked from ebay by the start of 2011 (and I spent some of my profits paying my way through a private univ, starting another business, ect.) and then buying a home free and clear, no financing needed. I am not saying this to brag, I was in your situation not too long ago. Trust me, it won't be easy but once you start gaining traction it will become....(gasp), FUN!
Again, how bad do you really want to change your situation?
You can do it, but it will only be you doing it. One step at a time though...
PM me if you want more details on how you can do the same thing as I did.
This post made my day, Luke.
It's great to see a "student" from the B&P mentors program making some serious coin! :icon_super:
