    I've been searching the internet for years and have not found any work. I'm about to give up and just relax. If anybody has any ideas for my last chance on finding work please pm me or something. Every money making site out there today is either fake or don't pay you anything which i call them all cheap bastards. Please help me. Family of 5 to feed, its starting get on my nerves. Thank You. Someone give me a chance. I can write articles and rewrite them, design logos and more. Name what you want done and i'll do it. I don't have paypal so being paid by check, money order bank transfer would be nice. Thanks everyone for your support.

    Since you're in United States, get Paypal US account. It's free and you can get paid in seconds.

    Check out DP's BST section and create new thread listing all the stuff you can do and why someone should hire you. Also, check out oDesk, vWorker and Microworkers for jobs.

    what have you tried so far? And getting a paypal account is pretty much the only way forward as literally EVERYONE uses it.

    If you have been trying for years to make money online and have failed to make a penny then you should really look at what you have been doing for the past 3 years and see where you have gone wrong and what the hell you have been doing. I can literally put up a WTS writer post on the BST of this forum and within the day I will have a minimum of around 3-4 people all looking for some articles to be written for them at a good rate!

    Hope this helped! :)

    Well, you are in US, I guess it should be easy to have Paypal(& verified).
    And with the skill you say above, you're on the right forum here in DP. Lot of opportunity here. :cool:
    so.. good luck !! best wish for your family. :)

    Well, if all you did was look then there is a problem in itself. While you spend time looking, sometimes you would be better off making more work yourself. Give yourself things to write about or make logos for friends. Stuff like that will add up and make it look like you have tonnsssss of experience.

    And yes, it's a HUGE issue that you DON'T have Paypal yet.

    Have you tried a site like Elance? And the forum here - be consistent with skimming through the posts each day to see if there is anyone looking to have something done.

    I think it helps to specialize in some things too. To say that you can anything leaves people confused and wondering how well. Kind of like the jack of all trades thing. I"m not saying that you don't do several things well, but I think it helps to have a specialty or two.

    I wish you the best:)

    1. Get a PayPal account (it's free)
    2. Make a website, a free one with wordpress showing some examples of your work and give a description of your talents.
    3. Offer your services in different forums or sites or look for people looking for services to be done., Other places to go - ODesk, Elance, Fiverr, Do Nanza just to name a few

    Good Luck!

    If you failed making money online, why don't get a off-line job? (if you don't have one).

    First of all never waste your time on sites that asks money to pay you, the're all scams.

    Register a domain name and start a blog using wordpress and write something you dominate. After that put adsense and try to get traffic.

    It's tricky to keep depending on forums. My advice??? Build your own website that offers the services you can do and start marketing it! There are tons of ways to advertise your site for free, you just need to work hard. Working on forums can get you started in MMO BUT IT WON'T TAKE YOU FAR.

    Start thinking long term and big. Start a small business website!

    Sorry to hear that you're having trouble... I hope things get better for you soon...

    The US economy is surely getting better... hopefully it will reflect on your situation as the unemployment rate seems to be going down (slowly).

    Now, I have to agree with Cleberl1 though... why are you stuck online?? Go out and look for jobs...

    If you can write, apply to Textbroker.com. They usually have an inventory of several hundred articles to write. They don't pay a lot but you can at least earn some money. Textbroker pays every two weeks through Paypal, so it's an easy way to start generating immediate income.

    Even though Textbroker has low pay, if you work like a banji, you can generate a few hundred bucks per week.

    After getting some experience with Textbroker, apply to Demand Studios. They are much stricter than Textbroker, but they pay $15.00 per article.

    You should go to odesk or some freelancing sites .Yes it will take time for a newbie in freelancing site to get work as the employers mostly want to hire genuine people and those people who have essential skills and experience even if the pay is low . How ever I assure you that once you get hired by any 1 you'll be getting more and more jobs .

    There are some great freelancing sites. If you haven't yet make a portfolio and get it out there on many forums.

    Forex trading has become very popular in recent times as a way of making money on the side using extra funds. In fact, a few people have even been able to turn their Forex trading activities into a regular source of income. When you play on the Forex market, you are running a risk, but you are doing so because Forex trading offers you an opportunity to make a good profit.
