What you wrote is very hard to read. Make sure to string some thoughts together and separate them and try and put together more coherent sentences. There is a LOT of advice on these boards but you must be more direct and phrase your thoughts better. 'Need Money - HELP ME' is a very vague start.

Why did your ads stop working? Are you promoting your products / site in any other way? What have you done to - date?

' last thing I want to do is have to go back to employment, the goal is as most people to have the freedom of earning without being tied to one thing, place or person so any advice is welcome.'

Yes that's the goal, but before all that you need an income source and some excess of funds to be able to experiment on your fastlane business. If you are strapped for money - it is MUCH harder to devote head space, finances and dedication to building up your empire.

Sometimes slowlane + living below your means is the answer for years (or a decade) to get up and rolling.
