For the past few weeks, I have been Struggling to try to find a niche for me or just to complete some offers online to try to get my paypal some cash that I can then use to invest in some hosting, a domain, and ads. I'm literally broke and live in the US. I'm 24 years old, intelligent, and certainly well liked. I can't say I have any real enemies in life. In 2004, I suffered a huge setback when I fell through a window from the back of my house and sliced my right elbow up pretty gruesomely. It has greatly diminished not only the prospects for employment that were open to me, but my very ability to work throughout 8 hour shifts, on my feet, in an already crappy local economy and job market. I've read some threads throughout the branches here at DPF, lurking a bit, and now I have joined because I believe in the community I have found here. I'm sure there are a lot of faces to watch out for, as well as spam attempts, considering the nature of the forum (and the power of that captcha, wow that was hard to read! lol), but overall I have seen in the past few days leading up to my registration that the moderation and administration teams here are strong, as well as the comradely of the community, which is always attractive to forum lovers like myself. I literally have 0 money. And I Need to begin using my skills as soon as possible. I am even willing to do jobs for people at ridiculously low prices to start in exchange for up-front payment or some kind of guaranteed secure escrow, because I Can't risk being duped. My truck was taken off the road 2 Fridays ago, my license plates went back yesterday. (it's a 99 s10, immaculate interior, numerous upgrades, dropped 2 inches, one previous owner who did it all, needs 350 dollars worth of parts for the body and new paint, for sale $2,000 or best offer, bought it for 2500 in july-ish, if anyone in the Jersey area is interested in taking my baby :'( ). My paypal has $0.26. My pockets are Empty. If I do not make something happen, I don't know how much longer I'll even be around anymore, including many other factors not listed here. I am not looking for sympathy, please don't tell me to cheer up, etc, I know, I'm a big boy, I'm just at the End of My Rope. I'm lucky in that I am Not married, No children, 100 percent time to spend on this, internet supplied (living back home with the parents, whole life pretty much ended in 04). I don't know how many of you can relate, or who understands, or who will help me, but my skills are 3D, HTML/CSS, Extremely well trained customer service and natural inclination to help (nothing local that doesn't also require heavy lifting or repetitive actions for long periods of time, I would be doing that, and doing this on the side, funded by that), I can write and create pretty much ANYTHING that a PC can be used to create BESIDES programming. Want to make that clear; I can make great, original sounding music under many genres, I can make graphics, I can design in 3D and texture very well (way stronger than my 2D), I can do A Lot, I just can't write a "Hello World!" application to save my life. I don't know what I'm expecting; expectations are supposed to be ignored anyway. I am hoping for some serious guidance or some help, and I'm willing to work very hard at very low prices because my plans won't cost A LOT to implement. I can share it, I'm sure it's a dime a dozen: I want to do a Get A Free site. Just temporarily. It's an emergency situation in my life, and so a Get Paid To site, coupled with the Huge amount of time I have that I Really can't do anything else with, is the route to save me, I'm reckoning right now. Advice on that? No need to say to check out this site or that one, but is it worth it for a starter/newbie in the cyber business world? I made one at greedlead.com after exhausting myself googling and saw that a short term promotion with a few ad networks (most likely using ShiftCode) could be just the thing I need to make me relaxed enough to actually begin even THINKING about my own sites with meaningful content. Please, help me, I am really struggling. Also, if you already are successful and need a new set of VERY available hands, I am interested, even if just short term or trial basis only. Also, if anyone invests in something to get me on my way that requires offering support, or dedicating a lot of time, time that you don't have, I will share ALL profits on the venture and be the newest Friend Forever in your life, even if we're just friends online. Which, these days, that is where most of my Loved Ones reside. I don't know how to prove anything, but if no one trusts me, I can manage to take pictures of my arm with some form of proof and short of listing previous employment, there has got to be some way to prove I've been rejected, had to reject, or downright couldn't travel to a lot of jobs, and that I have been out of employment for a Dangerous amount of time. I have a GREAT work ethic, I care about the people who depend on me, both my team and my clients/customers, no matter what genre the duty. I am cursed by these 4 years unraveling my life, and I know the only way to get help is to ask. I hope someone can appreciate my broken up paragraphs here; There's so much to say, and I don't want to make this post TOO long. Thank you in advance, whoever you are, thank you, and very good to meet you. -Brian Edit: Just read this somewhere out there in bloggerdom: Any insight on that? I co administrate a large site based on a very popular game (but I don't get paid), but as you can imagine that doesn't deal in money or people trying to scam the service. Thanks again everyone who will help me.
Welcome to DP forums! in regards to frauders and cheaters, this forum has been around for a long time, and you wont see many members bashing this place so i wouldn't worry too much.
You are very well-stated; your only obvious problem is that you are focused on the past, not the future. You have a promising future ahead of you. I am not in a position to give you work, but I can imagine that the work is available for you if you are willing to track it down here. Keep looking.
Thank you everyone! I hope so too! Hopefully I will find a mentor who will help me start in exchange for the HUGE money I could make for them considering EVERY waking minute is right here, on this computer. I mean, I'm dedicated. I understand the Rich Man buys ads and gets rich. The poor man must offer his time; My time is offered, if anyone is doing well enough for themselves, I would never stop Appreciating help. Ever. Cheers, -UnFunded
Maybe you would want to join a site like getafreelancer.com. Lots of job there for your kind of skills.
Hi there, I have a shiftcode site and am in need of help with a template and then getting it uploaded to my site. Are you able to help with this?
Welcome to DP. I don't suggest that you open a GPT site, much better to focus your time on a content site which is handwritten. You can sell those things for $75 minimum.
