What Else Do You Do When All Money-Making Efforts Don't Seem To Work?

Okay I have been trying to do more art related stuff and other things to earn me some money in the past 2 months but nothing seems to be working. I'm almost at the end of my budget here. New job will probably start in April so what else do I do to earn money asap? Online selling seems to not be working out during this time. Writing here would add up some but it takes time... Ah life. Now you all know why I was feeling down the other day. I don't want to borrow money from friends or family but damn looks like that's the only way to go again.

Common , your family will understand so , text them and ask for some help. Surely , they will readily give you money .

There are a few ways of making money in real life - if you arent afraid of needles you could try a plsma center. You could try selling unwanted items on eBay or Craigslist - like clothes and electronics. As far as working online - I personally do the best on paid GPT and survey sites but that still is only around $70 a month for me. I have a few good ones listed in my blog on my profile you could consider checking out. Have you looked into paid writing sites? I only recently joined one, Zemandi, and so far it seems like you can do alright if you write well and can put some time into it. I havent gotten paid from this one yet. Finally - theres a site called Humanatics (I believe) that a lot of people here are active on. Best of luck to you!

What's a plasma center? I'm not afraid of needles... I already sell on ebay or craigslist but still nothing. I have a survey site but my points aren't big enough to withdraw some money from it. As for Humanatics yeah I think I heard of that but haven't really gone into it. Maybe I should check on it again. Thanks!

@maezee Ack! I don't think we have such because we have Red Cross? I'm underweight so I don't think it'd work for me. But thanks for the suggestions.

Thanks for the writing site. I enjoy reading what writing sites are out there.

I'm not pretty sure what answer to give you as I have never experienced such thing. I'm fortunately blessed because I don't seem to have any problems with money at all. I guess, there might be some other opportunities that might come your way. Just never give up.

I never used to have this problem but living with my bro or this house is really giving me bad luck I think. Oh well.

@toniganzon Yes I do that but living here for over two years is really bad. Will be moving out as soon as I get that job I'm waiting on. Thanks and God bless to you too!

@owstalaga sometimes we just have to ignore the negative energy. If he's giving you that, don't succumbed to it. Just try to look at things positively. God Bless.

It would be fortunate if you could get some help for sure my friend. I do not have that option in life, so I just keep trying all ways that are available to me for catching up with bills omg It is non stop slogging.

@owstalaga Do you have anything you can do for others such as organizing, cutting hair, cleaning, babysit? haha

@owstalaga what has worked for me when I have been in need of quick money, is ask friends or family for some wuick jobs or help them run errands, that is because I don´t like the idea of asking for money, I feel constant pressure to pay them. You should give it a try instead of asking for money

@gerardoriar Well business is booming or so they say. Investment on properties and such is good so I also try to sell townhouses and condos online when I have the time. Why? Where are you from?
29 Mar 16
@owstalaga you´re welcome! If you have any doubts or need any aditional advice just say the word! If you don´t mind, I noticed you are from the philippines, and i´m curious about how is the economical situation over there, would you mind to give me an update on it?

But if there is no way but borrow then do but make sure you pay when you are already able so your trustworthiness will not be ruined.

yes definitely. It just reminds me of someone too who owe me 1k and haven't paid me yet. It's been like 3 yrs. He's even avoiding me, even the gf did not reply to my FB msg. It's just funny and annoying how some people don't know how to pay what they owe.

I am totally with you. We have the same sentiments. I don't have work for the past two weeks and for the whole month of April since its school break. I'm worrying about my bills.

Oh are you still in school? If you are then it should be easier to ask for parental assistance.

@crazyhorseladycx True. And good news is, I just signed my job contract yesterday so after a month I'd feel a whole lot better. Hahaha~ My salary will be coming by then and then it'd be every 2 weeks. I can't wait!!! God is so good!

I'm so sorry this is happening to you! And even more unfortunately, we're in that in-between period where you can't shovel snow or rake leaves or even mow for some quick cash! Try to hang in there!

Keep at it. I'm in the same boat as you, but we cannot give up. Those who persevere the good and bad will undoubtedly find success, but it takes years of persistence.
