This is probably not the answer you want to hear, but I felt terrible reading your post. It's taken me a few hours to figure out how to reply.
Here's why: pretty much all you've said in your post is you want money, and you're prepared to work for free to learn how to make it. You also say you're honest, and I believe you. But an honest person who badly needs money is exactly what the scamsters out there consider an easy mark.
All I can suggest is to take any offers that you get with a dose of skepticism.
The other thing is if you sell yourself, then you're more likely to get a useful response. What skills and interests do you have? Computer skills? Ever made a web page? Ever sold anything on ebay? A bit of this type of info will help you sell offer, and maybe even demonstrate that you are worth a little more than $0/hour. Even if you do decide to charge $0/hour - you ought to be able to show that you are worth more than $0/hour.
There's several reasons why I'm not making you an offer:
1. I don't know that you are worth more than $0 per hour to me - because I don't know anything about your skills. Sure you are offering maybe 150 hours of labour, but would it take me more than 150 hours to manage/train you?
2. I wouldn't want to offer you $0 per hour, unless I knew that at the end of it, you would be in some other way better off than before. For example, if you were totally unskilled, and I used you to do menial tasks for 3 months, at the end of 3 months, you would still have no way to make money online without my help. This also ties in to knowing more about your skills.
3. I'm not sure that I would feel right about $0 per hour, even the other two points were addressed.

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures.

In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
