  • how can i make money from home

    If nobody is hiring, your best course of action is to figure out how to make money on your own. Do you have things you can sell? Many people make good extra money selling things on Craigslist and eBay. Do you have a skill that people would want? use it to make money. You will be much better off if you find a way to be in business for yourself rather than have someone pay you a small amount for work.

        Ok, I understand how you got to where you are, but the only thing we can do now is to figure out what to do from now. The past is the past. The key is to figure out what you can do now to make that $50. Have you brainstormed any ideas?

          I suggest 2 options ;

          Marketing like worldventure but you have to be at the top of the pyramid.

          Another one will be buy and sell register internet register domains that just expired

            First of all choose an area in which you are expert or highly interested. For example, if you are good at writing, there are several online writing jobs that you can do from home. However, if you are an artistic, it will be easy for you to accomplish such home based jobs. Try to evaluate your interest in specific area, then surely you will be able to make money from home.

              Best to do is get a freelance job. I'm sure you know it, there are a lot of freelancing websites that you can register on.

                Hey Marcus - Did you notice her post didn't contain one punctuation mark? I don't think she's good at writing.

                  What does your skillset look like? There are a myriad of things that you probably do, but we can't help you very much if we don't know what your good at. making 50 to 100 dollars a day online isn't a very easy task, unless you want to work for 16 hours a day or you have a strong enough technical skill to freelance. Idea's off the top of my head without knowing your skill set:

                  1. Drive for Uber (assuming you have a car)
                  2. Sign up for Gigwalk
                  3. Sell some of your stuff (Temporary solution)
                  4. Create an etsy shop and sell your goods (assuming you can make something you can sell)
                  5. Write an e-book and sell it on Kindle Select Program
                  6. Do Online Surveys
                  7. Amazon Mechanical Turk

                    My suggestion would be going freelance, especially if you have a set of skills you're good at. Try Freelancer.com, Odesk and Elance and maybe you'll find something that suits you.

                        Dude, there are ways to earn. You seem defeatist in your attitude.

                        Not being flippant, but there have been comebacks to roaring success from situtations far worse off than yours!

                        If you mope around the street asking for work, of course you'll struggle. Dress well, stand up tall, present a good offering to potential employers.

                        I don' t think online activities can be set up fast enough for you my friend to get anywhere with in the time frame you need it.

                        Success from guys who got laid off in my area are all offline:

                        -one guy started washing windows. Took $40 to K-Mart and bought the basics. Researched what to do online. Soon had a full book of customers. Now employs people and makes LUDICROUS money with a huge building maintenance company. Took 5 years to get there though.

                        -another guy - (me) started a toilet services business on the weekend. Now brings in another $1000 (cash)/month for a pretty simple offering. Not big money but almost pays the rent, plus have the day job which I was fortunate to get soon after starting this... I hear PLENTY of No's, and I basically don't have a weekend, but after every "No" I front up to the next biz with a smile and some confidence looking for the next "yes".

                        Keep you chin up and keep charging - basically I wanted you to dig deep and find positivity.

                            Apply for freelance jobs online. There are lots of online jobs available or just like anybody else suggested, write a book or do buy and sale. In any cases,try both and see which one works for you
