I am in serious shit and need help. This is not your typical noobish question to make quick bucks, I actually need the money.

the rundown is:

I'm 17 ,my whole family is planning to recolate and I want to stay behind I finish my education rather than them planning to have me redo what I've already done*

They also want me to choose different subjects to what I want to study and my Nan has a place to stay but is apparently selling it. This week I've been told the family house is being given to other people and we'd have to move out soon.

So basically the possibility of me living on my own at 17 is getting realer and no conventional part time job will earn me enough money to live off my own so I'm thinking IM is the only way to make a lot in a short space of time other than coke dealing.

this is all serious and would really appreciate informative and frank replies.

*6th form education in the UK. it's basically high school and they want me to start from the beginning and do other subjects
 


Why does everyone think they're just going to show up in the IM industry, and be making thousands within weeks? Sorry, but not that easy. Nothing is.

I know. I've been studying IM for 4 months or so. I've got a website up etc. I know the basics. Just need some advice...
 
Start a service, with your English standards(based on your first post) you can probably get at least
$2.5/500 words.

That might seem a bit too low for you but if you are desperate these low prices will help you get many orders and you can always raise your prices afterwards.

20 articles at $2.5 everyday = $50, in 1 month you would have $1500
 
I don't know, are you a good bullshit artist? I'm not, and that's why I'm stuck working hard. I make decent coin, but have to bust my ass far harder than good bullshit artists. That, and I'm too honest for my own good. Blame my dad for that.

Anyway, just throw up a good web design, SEO & marketing company site. Cold call like crazy, bullshit your way through meetings, and land even just one or two project. Goto oDesk, and contract out the work.

Put up a small directory site for models, and make it nice & flashy. Again, cold call, place classifieds, post on Craigslist, etc... Bullshit quite a bit on the phone, and on the site, and convince models it's worth $100 to be listed on your site.

Throw up some shitty real estate website, than buy some crappy leads. Contact property owners and tell them you have pristine real estate leads for sale that you generate from your site.

There's a million ways...

if you just pulled that out your ass on the fly, thats not that bad rofl
 
I think you should live life and just move with your folks. You are 17 so stay young while you can. This is a difficult business and I think you are have the wrong impression. It takes awhile to make money and you have to invest most of the time. Good luck and remember have fun.
 
1. Buy some sexy clothes
2. Visit your local truck stop and go to where the men's park their big rigs
3. ???????
4. Profit and stay behind while family abandons you

This is a good advice.

OP

You may start your content writing service here - Content - WickedFire - Affiliate Marketing Forum - Internet Marketing Webmaster SEO Forum

But make sure you read all the rules before starting the service otherwise you would be banned in minutes.

First, start making some money and then think about making thousands!
 
There are no shortcuts to things not unless you are going to use a software to automate stuff for you. But generating thousand of dollars for a first-timer or a noob will not be very easy. You need to build up your skills, and have a good reputation to have more customers.

One good suggestion here is for you to be a writer. Just read through the buy and sell section. Perhaps you can offer other services like linkbuilding, SEO, etc.
 
1. Get a 'normal' job
2. when your not at your 'normal' job hustle online

I did this for about 2 years before I started making any serious money online
