Sick of struggling. Best way out? - Basscrazzy - Sep 26, 2024
Hey hope your all doing good.
I will do the short no sob story version
Single dad
£47 left each month after life crap
I can't buy the beaks method which seems like everyone likes as its 1500 and would take me a million years to save.
Are there any genuine ways to earn. Time I can put in as much as needed but I don't have capital to put down I'd say maybe 150 ish.
Thanks for any help I'm not a passing grab guide and go id like to become a little cog in hf people 😂
Even shorter version
Didn't wear anything
Kid arrived
Kid custody to me
No money
Getting Old gonna die soon don't wanna die with 150 to my name 😂😂

Buying online methods isn't likely going to get you out of any hole. Find your skill, use it to trade for income.

Hey, Basscrazzy. I'm sorry to hear about your situation. I know firsthand it can feel like a daunting task to dig yourself out of a financial hole.
Unfortunately, what I've learned is that you either get really lucky (0.0001% of people) or you can take the time you do have to work hard and get back into shape.
Best advice I can give is to find a decent paying job or even multiple if they're available. Sit down with a financial advisor or someone you trust and create a budget. It's hard work, it sucks, and I admit I don't know all of your circumstances, but building wealth takes time, patience, and self discipline. There are very, very few easy outs and most people aren't too quick to share them.
Best of luck to you and I'm here if you need me.

No worries thought I'd ask thanks very much

Instead of buying methods you should focus on your current skills and find a way to earn money with it. You can buy methods for e-whoring but if you're not good at social engineering then you'll to make money from it.
Here is an example that is not related to Internet : I have a friend who is a landscaper and the weekend he works for individuals instead of the company who empoyed him. He made some social media pages and get traffic from it. Of course it's not something you can behind your computer but for 1 day of work he makes around 200 and 400€, which is quite a lot in my opinion.
Overall, for any 'method' of making money, there are 3 rules to follow:
- Do something you are good at it, there is no meaning trying to do something someone is better than you, or that could bother you in few weeks, it's important for the two following rules.
- Do something that no one (or very few people) have done before, which is called a 'niche.' You can take something simple like dance, cooking, or mechanics, and innovate (just doing one or two things that have never been seen elsewhere can attract people to your social media page).
- Stand out from others by doing or being something memorable. For example, my friend who’s a landscaper has plenty of tattoos related to nature, trees, and plants, and I can guarantee that if I need to redo my garden tomorrow, I’d rather have a guy who shows how passionate he is than just some random person.
Overall, nowadays it's vital to get social medias, you get traffic from it, it's free ad, and you can do it from home. Then just find something you're good at it and start monetizing it.
Another example, for me :
- [Something I'm good at it] : I work in cybersecurity and I looooooove it and IT in general
- [Something that it's not common] : I could make videos about hacking (lot of people want to learn how to hack, we have dozen of people every day on HF asking this)
- [Something to stand out] : I have tattoos about hacking, I have a room full of computers even old ones and old IT stuff from the 70's / 80's and 90's, I'm sure I could stand out with these things
There are other options for me such as my friend work during the weekend for individuals I could do auditing for other companies or individuals that are running their business on the Internet, I could do bug bounties, I could do mentoring, there are lot of options related to my field, you need to find options related to YOUR field.
Besides, feel free to use an LLM such as ChatGPT to find ideas, otherwise, share :
- What you're good at
- What you're working in
- What you love to do

I second this, overall making money with what you're good at is the best way to go about it. Start with a full time job and pick up a part time job too if you're struggling. I worked two jobs for years it sucks but you have to do what you have to do.
I would do like Bastille advised and incorporate something you are good at to do in your spare time on your off days or off time because the hustle never ends especially in this economy. If you're good with computers then use your computer skills to your advantage making money. Actually now that Bastille mentioned it something I have thought about was doing landscaping not like mowing grass and stuff that is too saturated in my opinion.
Landscaping can be profitable if you find people and businesses that want to keep their property looking nice like fresh bark, weed free flower beds, plants, bushes, etc.
You may have trouble finding gigs at first, but if you walk in to places and ask to speak to the owner about it you never know asking 15 people one out of those 15 people may want your services. If you do get it then make the absolute best out of it with their budget. Put 150% into it that way you can take pictures and use them as a reference on your next scout for landscaping opportunities. Look for residences with poorly maintained flower beds and offer to help make it look nice. You would be amazed at the difference just putting new bark down and pulling weeds would make.
I can come up with all sorts of ways for you, but you gotta have the drive brother. That's not something I can help you with its something you have to want.
RE: Sick of struggling. Best way out? - Basscrazzy - Sep 27, 2024
It's not that I don't have the drive but around kids nursery I work while they in there but that is 4 hours a day which after tax is £34 a day. I was looking for online as while we are in the house I could do online while they play and eat and sleep
I appreciate the replies I just got wrong end of the stick thinking there are online methods etc
Thanks everyone
