How can a stupid person like me make money online?

Discussion in 'General Business' started by MURLOCK, Feb 29, 2012.

    Ive been in the online business for some time now. But I have not really made any money on it what so ever and my situation isn't improving and I'm running out of money and I freaking hate living at my parents place.

    I currently know the following:
    PHP
    JAVASCRIPT
    JQUERY (SOME)
    CSS
    HTML
    MYSQL

    But I don't know how well I know it and if someone would pay me doing it. I wish I had some cash coming in but I dont have that, soon I can't even afford to host a dam website and buy a domain...

    I guess that would mean GAME OVER. I see myself as pretty stupid and I know others does too.

    My situation wont improve as I don't have any friends helping me, my family isn't supportive and just yell at me all the time for being a failure and I don't know what to do any more. So I guess I talk to the Internet and hope someone will help me as I'm not capable to solve this myself, those who search can see I made an other thread about this way back but situation is just a lot worse now.

    I need to make some money somehow but I fail each time and I guess it has to do with me being stupid. I just want to make enough money so I can move from home somewhere and get peace in life.

    Any suggestions???? I'm also open for suggestions about none internet related ideas. (but I think internet is the place where I belong due to being fat with low self esteem.).

    My friend, dont be so hard on yourself... you ar enot stupid you are just very depressed and have extremely low self esteem. Many do my friend, many do. You should feel stupid for feeling like this...

    PM me and tell me more about you and your situation.. I am not going to try and sell you anything, I am just going to give you someone to talk to. You do not have to feel the way you feel. I have been there and still go there from time to time but life gets better. You just need advice and direction...

    Look forward to hearing from you Louis D :)

    If you were stupid you wouldn't know all those languages and stuff. Starting a website from scratch can be frustrating and take months and months before you can even start seeing some income from it. I would focus on freelancing and maybe buying a cheap site that has been up for a few months and then fix it up if you can afford it. This will give you a head start.

    Understand, that your weight has nothing to deal with your success online and making money. Most of us are all in the same situation, with being living with our parents due to hard economic times. I would suggest to try to get a job, and preferably being a freelancer. You can make money from various platforms like ebay as starters to afford hosting cost, and other things like domain name which I`m sure you are aware.

    Even then, there is always a domain coupon code that leaves your $7 to pay for.

    If your going technical on providing your technical skills you learned, I would try to learn how to apply them by making a website to use it as a portfolio for starters and ask around business owners for your expertise. Figure out your flexible rates, and do this for 3 paying customers. You can achieve your free portfolio with wordpress`s site then having your own private server for now.

    If anything spend less, make more. I hope this helped at some level.

    You gotta have optimism. You're really not stupid because a stupid person wouldn't have come on the forum and asked the question. It shows that you actually want to learn, but by Having a negative mindset you are taking yourself out the game. You have to already see yourself moving out of your parents place for it to happen. Reality is whatever you percieve it to be, and if you see positivity you it will show. Don't count yourself out just yet. And plus with all the skills you've listed, you are already in the right direction. I suggest you foccus on 1-2 skills that you are most profficient in and utilize those. If you keep working at it you will get it in know time. Stay positive friend.

    Why don't you start a blog on the areas of your specialisation. I thinkthat'll be a start and then you can go for the big boy status.

    Get a job , a real job . If you think you're stupid then you are probably right 90% of the people never make one stinking cent on the internet and out of those who do make a cent over 70% won't make a 1000 USD per year . If it would be easy to make money on the net we would all be millionaires .

    There are many ways to make money online - but if you are desperate and want the money now then this won't be the best option. Anyway join sites like elance and try to offer your knowledge to others for a fee. Also try to get a job in any company - check craingslist in your country/city or similar service and see anyone looking for coding jobs which you can do from home. Be positive and have faith in you. Get regular workouts and the feeling of being fat will slowly vanish. Good luck!

    Thank you all for the posts. It feels good knowing that others are struggling here as well it makes me feel less of a failure.

    I think I may have some sort of manic depression or something cus today I feel alright, yesterday I was really down. Usually I have some days feeling really down and can't produce nothing and just go sleep really early then comes days when I just feel okay/happy and today seems to be such a day.

    Everyone needs some money in todays society.

    I need to get up and focus and maybe eventually I make something right. I'm going to learn some more JQuery then I may produce a chatroom, not sure if there is any money doing that but I think a chatroom is a good thing to build.

    Use your skills to get some freelance work, build up some capital, then invest into PPC. Quickest way to making money online if you know what you're doing (and I can help with that).
