Hi all,

I have a job and I sell online constantly but for some reason my online sells fell this month I haven't sold a thing in 3 weeks. This is very strange it's never happened to me before. I count on my online sales to pay my bills because my job sure doesn't it's a joke compared to what I bring from my sales but I like it, it's fun so I'm not complaining. Now my rent is due tomorrow $1000 and I don't have a darn dime towards it. My other bills will be coming due in the next 5 to 10 days at a total of $800 again not a dime to pay them. And if it's not bad enough that I haven't had an online sale in 3 weeks I was sick last week and couldn't go to work. So I won't be getting a pay check next Friday :-(
I'm a step away from Screaming! The only reason I'm not I don't want to scare the family. They know about the paycheck they took care of me all week while I was ill... But, I haven't told them about the lack of sales because I don't want to worry anyone. It's bad enough that I can't sleep I don't want them to worry too I do enough of that for the whole family.

Please don't send me any links to any online sites I won't go to them. I have checked out plenty in the past and I haven't found a one that was any good.

You can email me off the list if you or someone you know needs someone to do some work.

I live in the middle of nowhere PA but I'm close enough to Baltimore, DC, Pittsburgh, Philly, etc... willing to travel if it'll pay the bills and keep this roof over our heads.

You've already waited three weeks, hoping against hope that your online sales would not only pick up, but pick up so dramatically that they would make up for all the down time. Now your rent is due *tomorrow* and you need to find a way to make $1,800 sometime in the next 7-10 days?



Look, the ONLY way to make that kind of money that quickly is to sell something. Even if you worked 16 hours per day for the next week at a $10/hour job you'd still only have $800. Do you have something worth $1,800 that you can afford to part with? If not, then you're probably in the soup.



.......But you will get through this disaster somehow. Then you have a choice: you can try to put the bad experience out of your mind and go back to life as usual, or resolve never to allow something like this to happen again.



1). I'd start by leveling with your family, and make a habit of always being on the level with them. Telling the truth to others forces you to face the truth yourself. See how it would have helped. If you had mentioned three weeks ago that your sales were falling off, and kept your family constantly in the loop as your sales stayed low, do you think they would have let you spend 3 weeks fooling yourself that sales would pick up? No!



I'm not saying to tell small children, but certainly your spouse. They are your partners: not only are they there to help you, but they have a right to know what's going on. And it will help you, too.



2). Second: get a reserve fund! Disasters are always unexpected. IF YOU ARE SPENDING AS MUCH MONEY AS YOU MAKE EACH WEEK, YOU ARE HEADED FOR BANKRUPTCY sooner or later. That applies equally to the coal miner as it does to the billionaire. If you spend all of your money, accumulating nothing for unexpected emergencies, then one day, one of those emergencies is going to come along and swamp your financial ship.



You'll probably tell me that you need every cent of what you make, and can't spare anything for savings. Fine . . . you don't have to convince me.



But somewhere out there there is another, much bigger emergency with YOUR name on it. When will it hit? Will it be in the form of medical bills, car repairs, unexpected disability, job loss? Who knows? If you don't find a way to save 10% of your income each week to put into an emergency fund, you will not be ready to face the next emergency, and you will watch everything you worked for disappear into bankruptcy just because you couldn't come up with a few thousand bucks. Don't let it happen!

Well.. ask your local restaurants if you could do something today for them to earn $20-$30. I've done this, they made me hand out fliers, clean the windows, tables, or even bathroom =\. But Hey! I earned $110 at the end of the day, but doing all those.. is really tiring! Hope this will help and good luck! And uh.. $177 for a sweater? That's kind of expensive don't you think? =x
