Like a lot of people now a day's me and my family are in a BIG financial crisis,I have tried everything I know to make some money from selling all of our stuff,calling churches to help with the bills,getting a small loan (which is not possible now a days),borrowing money from family and friends heck I even tried to beg for money online (very embarrassing) I have also been trying all the different money making programs online and have had some success with them but I have never been good at getting referrals and most of these sites make it almost impossible to make any good money with out having ACTIVE referrals. so I was wondering if you all knew of a good way to make some fast money on-line (Please no scams) or if you would want to help me in the referral department check out my site in my profile the link to it is under my picture :)thank you
God Bless

I am in the same situation as you. I also would like to find some good money making sites. Everything I have come across is just a penny here and a penny there, which is good, but can not help much, since I need money NOW. I have put some items on Ebay, without any luck.
There is a site called www.wishuponahero.com, which might help you in someway. I have not tried it yet, but I know that some people have gotten results.
I wish you luck.

Well, if you like to Write there are some Writing sites besides here where you can possibly get some extra cash as there are many of us who do that. Also just continue to Pray and Trust god. Many times we have to go thru things to see just what we can handle. A miracle could be on it's way.
As for Referrals from time to time, I have been quite good with getting them for a lot of the programs I am in and have tried. Matter of fact I have like 36 here in myLot. The problem is getting them to be active to where you can actually earn anything off of them is the problem for sure. Many times you get them, but if they end up doing nothing you're back to square one as well.
All I can say is do not give up. Something Good is bound to happen, and things are getting tight for everyone.

Welcome to myLot Ruby_Dawn! I'm sorry to hear about the financial crisis that your family is going through right now. There are many online money-making programs out there, but probably none that will earn what you need in the time that you need it. Of course, I don't know exactly how much you need by when. I have a home based business that might be helpful to you for future reference. There's a link to it in my profile that you can check out.
Since you've already sold your stuff, I won't suggest doing that. Have you cut out anything you don't need? Such as cable? Have you considered getting a second job for the time being? You could also do odd-jobs for people. Craigslist has a Gigs section that lists jobs that people are looking for help with. It could someone like mowing a lawn, helping someone move, cleaning a house, etc. As for a loan, there's a site where it's person-to-person loans. You might be able to get one through there. The site is http://www.prosper.com I hope this helps!

I can definitely relate to your issues (at least on a crisis level). I obviously don't know any details. But I do have a few suggestions that have helped us.
Sit down and make a budget. You want to include everything that you have to pay for and not anything that you don't need. You will also want to start making meal plans to cut out any unnecessary food items. Junk food and processed foods have to go if you want to save money. Other things need to go as well. We had to stop buying toys for our son (2 1/2) and on trips out and about as well.
That hasn't eliminated our crisis and if you are in a real one, probably won't yours either, but it can help. We found once we budgeted out all our bills such as rent, electricity, gas, and such we didn't have any food or household money. This can lead to panic and when I contacted agencies that often help we were told that we made too much money for aid such as WIC or foodstamps.
In addition to that I am five months pregnant and have had to sign payment agreements for the doctor and hospital to have our baby and get the prenatal care that is so important. We don't have the money for this either.
So, my goal each month is to make enough money to pay for our food and household needs, my medical bills, and to save so we can move (we pay $900 a month and could pay less if we could only afford to move). I do this by writing articles online. It is a lot of work and takes time to build it up, but it has been making me some money. I write for a number of sites and have a few that I would recommend, but it takes a lot of work, time, and effort. You can check out my profile for information on the sites.

I don't know of any fast ways to make money online, but you can check out my blog for some helpful ideas and free sites that have paid me. I've posted my proof of payments along with reviews. It can be hard to make a full-living off the internet, but I've listed good sites that will allow you to earn a good side income every month- without paying a cent.
