Hi everyone.

What is the definintion of help? And if you could find help that you needed, would you invest money into it?

I am so sick and tired people telling me that the secret to my internet marketing success is $250 or $1200 dollars away. Wtf- flip? I mean seriously if I had that much money to invest I would spend it in advertising.
So what gives?

Why do people want something for nothing, and the people that offer something worth anything they decide to charge outrageously for it?

Am I wrong in charging my 12 week seminar ( one hour on a FREE phone line) Zero dollars or would people take me more seriously if I charged a small fee or took donations?

I have invested over a year into researching the subject of suicide from a biblical viewpoint and I mean this e-work book is actually being used in a lifeskills program in Africa, with other people showing interest, I have other e-books available to, and am working on financial blessings the biblical way, but how? my goodness anyone know how to get a foot in this proverbial internet door?

I’m tired of ‘affiliate’ marketing that doesn’t work. I’m tired of being fed hoopla, junk and lies. I just want honest answers, is this too much to ask?

Am I just not finding the right internet circles?

Thanks for letting me rant.

Personally, I feel it is more helpful to go to the people instead of waiting for them to come to us. Which is why I’m here. Suicidal, depressed people in plenty. And those who are neither suicidal nor depressed but need encouragement.

Well said guys.

Complicated, yes you bet it is.

And going to the people instead of waiting, yes I agree, because time is not on anyone’s side when it comes to dealing with crisis issues.

I’ll rest when I die, heh. But as for now waiting won’t help much.

I can think of at least half a dozen advertising venues that will cost you nothing. Sometimes the most obvious ones tend to be overlooked.

Re: Charging a fee I have never charged for consultations. It just goes against my grain. That’s not what I’m all about. I do accept donations when working with the public but they are not necessary and not expected. My entire purpose is to help whenever I can. You might be surprised at how much is donated when you expect nothing. If you are offering something that will make a difference in someone’s life, you shall be compensated so your work can continue for others. Every individual who comes to me becomes a repeat visitor.

There are peripheral ways to make money. Again, on a donation basis. It has been my experience that people give generously when left to decide if and what to give.

I’d be happy to work with you at no cost.

Thanks that would be great, and it is nice to see that someone feels the SAME way I do. I don’t want to charge, and I don’t want to feel like I should be forced to have to.

You definitely don’t have to. Do what’s right and the Lord shall provide. I know this for a fact. I’m going to put some suggestions together for you and I will shout you within the next few days so I can pass them on to you. :D

I know it can be frustrating but you are on the right path. You just needed to stop and ask for directions. It’s a good thing you’re not a man! :P

lol! Thank you so very much. I have to admit, I’m not good at asking directions, but the Lord is teaching me this is exactly what I need to do!

Chat soon!
Thanks again.

Hello Anon, if you are around, I’d like to get some ideas off of you if you don’t mind? Anytime, I’m around just give me a shout.

Thank you so much,
Shannon

You still need help promoting your internet stuff?

It is hard to find the ‘right’ internet circle. I was just passing by and this post caught my attention. I realize I have been blessed in my life and in my internetz and wouldn’t mind passing some of that along.

If you still could use some advice, let me know. There is no charge.
