    I lost my job yesterday....I may be able to work a bit more but this month is it. My dad and his dad along with his brother all may lose there job next month and then we may lose our house.

    We own a farm.....It is very bad.

    If anyone knows of a way to make some good money online tell me how. I wish I could earn a lot and help pay off the debt. I hear of people making lots of money each month on the internet but I just make a bit here and there.

    I hope you all are doing better.

    In 1 week ( 7 days ) I got 600$ from BST section .. Everything depends on you ;) There is no such a thing "I want money" .. If you can agree with "I want to work for money" - you will earn it !

    Owning a farm instills that value anyhow.

    We work very hard here. I just, when I get online I am not sure how to make a ton of money. I tried writing articles but people want to pay nothing for them. I am a good writer but people around here want to pay nothing. I do need something now and if anyone could help out a guy about to lose everything it would be great.
    How did you get 600 bucks from the BST in 1 week? Send me a PM if you will.

    This isn't what you want to hear but it needs to be said. Get a job flipping burgers if you have and if 40 hours won't pay the bills get two of those jobs.

    It will be like a country song played backwards. You will be tired but get to keep the house, the dog, and the farm.

    Sorry about you loss and I really do wish well.

    I doubt I could find one. See I live a ways away from town and well if you factor in gas it would not net me much. You are right though in doing what you have to and I am looking for opportunities. I could not pay the farm bill myself. I just hope my family can keep our house if we lose the farm. If we could make money online we could still help the farm. We are signed on the bills of the farm so if we go bankrupt we could lose two houses and 3 incomes.

    well you may just have to get a loan until you get back on your feet. I know that sucks but what else can you do?
    Making money online usually takes a lot of time to figure out on what you need to do the get this money. Alos you are setting yourself of for failure telling everyone your situation. People will see this and take advantage of the situation .. Dont fall for any of these get rich over night scams that people offer.

    Example :::

    Buy this ebook for 50 dollars . you will make 500 a day by reading it and doing what it says.
    Theres a ton of these scammers at this board and all over the internet. If its to good to me true then 99 out of 100 times it will be. Just use common sense
    So be careful and good luck to you and your family

    I live on a farm also and I know it can be mighty hard to make money online without investing lots of money the right way (adwords for instance). Don't you have something on the farm you can sell? Firewood, Manure, Moss (if you can find a buyer), Fresh eggs, Chickens, Bee keeping also brings bucks. If you got a lot of space where you live and are away from people you could open a shooting or archery range. Best of luck its hard for everybody right now.

    The only idea that I have is to write article packs. If you could write 10 hours a day, you should be able to write 20, $4 articles, per day. The income would be a stop gap.

    I'm wondering why the farm isn't making any money. But many times the cost of paying for the land exceeds the income that is generated.

    Increasing the farm income usually takes time and may take up to two years. Some ways to increase income are to plant blueberry trees on a few acres, raise pigs, grow vegetables and sell on Saturday at farmers market, make cheese if the farm has dairy cattle or make shine j/k.

    I am sorry to hear that you have lost your job and are in financial difficulty but I have an idea for you.

    Have you thought about diversifying part of your farm land? Here in the UK, our farmers have been doing this for years and parts of farm land have been turned into everything from offices which they rent out to play parks for kids.

    I see you live in South Carolina, I have played Golf there many times so I would suggest creating a golf driving range or even a 9 hole, par-3 golf course if you have enough space and then you can make money from that!

    PM me if you want to chat any more about this idea

    Good luck

    Do not write for people,write for yourself.

    Join any affiliate program,select any product of your interest.

    Set up a landing page reviewing a product,just use google to write a review about.

    Do some keyword research (again use google on how to do keyword research).

    Write 1 article per keyword and submit it to ezine with your landing page link in resource box.

    Social bookmark each article and your blog.

    Keep doing same thing for other products as well.

    The farm has been going since before I was barn and it is ALWAYS up and down and would never hold it's self up without someone puting in other money into it such as my grandparents social security money.

    The reason it is not making money is they are dropping what they give us per gallon or really per hundred weight on milk. We are getting like 18?? bucks per hundred weight and it may drop to 9-10 next month. Now we are already just pushing by and now....

    The cows eat up 52% of the income all by themselves each month.

    That is just what I am trying now. I have 3 articles live but no sales. I have 11 more waiting to be approved and 3 rejected for more than 1 keyword per 100 words and 1 that does not contain enough new content. Ezine is tough.
    Do you really see sales doing this stuff? I have a landing page and I am trying weight loss.
    http://www.howtoloseweightguide.info is my landing page.

    try using a redirect link like http://www.howtoloseweightguide.info/stripfat-product.html instead of just pointing to clickbank url directly..

    also try to put a before/after pic for "lose weight" landing pages..it doubles up sale...

    you start article writing job
    dont write in a haste, because you want the client to buy again and again from you.

    write good quality excellent articles you will be in demand and will always get work.

    also make article packs means see the content section they write articles in a pack and keep it for sale.
    so you can write on demand and also sale prewitten articles.

    always make sure quality is the most important so take time and put a great effort to write articles you will surely succeed, also you can start your own blog and make money.

    it is better to sale articles faster and get payments faster and start on new article packs.

    so it is better to sometimes give discounts to clients so that you can move on forward.

    you get payment and are free to write again.

    see if a writer waits for a pack to be sold for a week. it is better he sells such three packs in a week.

    yes you will need to work hard in such situation but it will pay off.

    I have had 10 clicks out to my landing page(1 was mine I think). I have had 49 views on the 4 articles so far.

    The review will bring quite a good sales for you if you do it rightly. Tell you what, why not you do reviews, I'll bring real human traffic, and you take most of the profit. I've been doing quite well with this. PM me if you're interested & I'll show you how it works.
