My thoughts exactly.

Anyways, have him do some offline seo work for some companies and he should be fine. Of course he will need to actually buy link services in the BST so he can rank for those companies keywords.

Yeah he went from 20-25k/mo to $4k/mo... right after he used almost all of his savings to get into house that was on forclosure, so he could get out of the ghetto where people kept scaring his kids and vandalizing his mom's house etc...

Hello friend,

While make $4,000 month consider poor for American I think it still enough money to no have go bankrupt. Just have spend money for cheap food, pay mortage, pay for electricity and water.

Should stop buy any items luxury and stop live good life. No do thing like buy every new iPhones or iPads that release for entire family or spend $100 almost every day on diner expensive at restaurant.

If friend make $25,000 month for many years then should have good money saved. If he use all money for buy mansion expensive then maybe should sell house. When sell mansion expensive will have lot cash.

If friend person smart I think eventual he come back and will make more money then before. Just use cash from sell house for live until he make good money again.

Good luck bro
 
^ your know there is a guy name SwamiGupta that's trying to steal your swag on here... I think you and him should battle it out. I think you'll crush Swami 1 vs. 1
Sorry off topic, you just speak words of wisdom and wanted you to know.

Good luck bro.

LOL at totally fucked after 2 months. Good job stuffing all your fragile little eggs in a metal basket. Amazes me how many guys here make good money and yet have nothing. The party is going to end one day guys, you realize that right? All good things come to an end.

Besides, I don't think you can file bankruptcy until you're delinquent on your bills for more than 6 months anyway.

Tell him to get back to work, and stop crying over what he lost. Work harder, longer, faster than you ever have before. If he can't find a way to make money online then a job is perfect for him, I hope he gets it.

I have literally gone from being a millionaire to having over 4 million in debt in less than a year and some how I managed to pull my ass out of it without filing bankruptcy like a little bitch. The secret? Hustling my ass off. Not back to millionaire status yet, but I hustle every day to make it happen.

STOP. WHINING. GET. BACK. TO. WORK.

Any suggestions where to get a list like this?

Yes, but they're in the UK, so probably not much help,

Google b2b data broker, b2b list broker

Don't believe their claims about clean data. All bought data is dirty. You gotta call it and clean it first. It's boring, unpleasant work. But it's the way we did things before Google and their magic free neverending (until it ends suddenly) money machine. :D
 
Sorry to hear the penguin shit hit the fan.

It sucks to get chopped down like that.
There are a few posts about guys that have recovered from penguin. I would look into it. ---not a full recovery. I guess some is better than none.

I think if your friend made serious money before, he can do it again.

Good luck.
 
I think this will help him learn that... I view this biz as... grind hard, stack until you are burned out... or just keep going but stack stack stack so that when your stuff stops working someday, you have that money to rely on and invest in other things arent as dependent on Google for example.

I'm sure he would agree with everything you're saying right now, but to be honest it doesn't help the situation...

I don't mean this in a condescending way or anything, but he probably needs to learn how to manage money a little better. This won't matter much that he is broke now, but in the future it will pay off.

You shouldn't go completely broke two months after the loss of your income. You should have at least a year of living expenses saved up at all times imo, the more of a buffer you have, the better. This gives you time to transition into something different without immediately going broke. Also, don't buy stuff you don't need unless you can pay for it with cash and still have a year plus of living expenses saved up.

If he can't live on 4k a month until he gets shit going, he has other things to worry about. And what the fucked happened to his cash? How do you blow 25k a month when you have kids? Save some, fool.

If you want to help him, tell him the above. And then slap him. Nothing is more helpful than a reality check sometimes. Plenty of people support a family on 4k a month - and why can't his wife get a job to cover everything over 4k while he gets his shit together?

I smell a douche bag.

Any reason not to use the yellow/white pages?
 
Getting fucked by penguins and pandas what the fuck. Thought this was a gay webmaster forum not a bestiality webmaster forum.


OP, is your 'friend' wife cute? If so, webcam or tell her to get a job as a bus monitor.

Here are his skills:

  • He can turn boring text content into engaging, interesting pages so at a quick glance, you kinda get the main points without reading it.
  • He can write quality text-only content too if someone needs that.
  • He can do manual link building negotiations (emailing and negotiating)
  • Random, but he's great at working on/fixing/tuning and even painting cars.
  • He's good at designing CMS wordpress themes for authority sites.
  • ...and of course he can do simple things like setting up wordpress sites, misc. scripts..

Most people here have been fucked, yeah, cause almost everyone here thinks super short term. Those of us who thought longer term just got fucked a little later and kinda 50/50 random split by Penguin.

I think he was blessed at doing 20-25k a month with that skill set. With the exception of painting cars, I also think there are many in here with that skill set that are struggling to make $400/mo.

I vote cars.

He obviously does not know good sustainable SEO, yet all you assholes are telling him to do other peoples/clients SEO?

Laughable.

Yeah, he doesn't - his link velocity tanked. He believed if he just tried to build something high quality (like askthebuilder.com kinda quality) then he'd be safe.
He can help someone who doesn't know anything though.. He's been doing well for 6 years. A lot of legit people and really good SEOs got fucked in panda/penguin.

I'm glad you didn't but no need to be so hateful man.
