How to deal with 'make money online' programs ripped off, being unemployed, broke and depressed?
Hi all, I'd appreciate any advice you can give me...
I have been trying to build an online business for the last 18 months and doing Temp jobs at the same time to pay my bills. Because income wasn't stable I decided that this year I was going to find a permanent position Facebook marketing related (as that's what I love) so my Fiancée and I get a normal life, save some money and then get a proper business mentor to help us build the business we want to build
For the past 18 months I have spent over $8000 in 'make money online' with the aim of getting myself FullTime self employed so I could dedicate my time to build our business. But we feel ripped off by all those "Gurus".

It's been 5 weeks already that I've been looking constantly for work, registering with agencies, attending one interview after another, and sometimes I go to the last stage of the recruitment process but never seem to get the job.. I've been now applying for Temp work as I have to get some cash, totally frustrated, with no money no even to pay the transport to go to interviews, I walk instead for hours as I know the city well.
Also, as I am settled here I have no one other than my partner (she’s national) to lend me money or help me with the bills, but I now owe her more than enough and she's about to kick me out because she can't pay all on her own.. She works really hard to keep us afloat and I feel so embarrassed that she has to provide and not me, she believes in me achieving what I want to achieve but she just want me to help her with the bills

I am good with Facebook-for-business and I got some experience. However, every time I apply for Facebook related jobs they ask me for advanced excel experience which I don't have, this has been a restriction of not getting a job that I want till now. To develop advaced Exel skills I’d need to do unpaid internship which I can’t afford..

I am an aspiring entrepreneurs, passionate and driven. I have invested a lot money, time and effort in business mentoring and personal development, I have an ambitious plan to live the vision I want us both to live, I just one a damn job for now!

I love my Fiancee and I hate to disappoint her, I would appreciate if any one can tell me what short term strategies to use in this situation, I have thought:
Going to my local bars and hand on my CV
Borrowed some money, get a flight back home with the tail between my legs (no sure about this one)
Keep applying! but I don’t know for how much longer I am going to have a roof over my head

Thank you so much for taking your time and helping me

You feel for that " BECOME A GAZILLIONARE IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME" crap? You probably deserve your current situation.

You shouldn't have to pay to make money! You don't pay to join a job! If you want to make steady income from the internet through passive income try checking out http://bee4.biz/?ref=12093 to see how others do it.

Just remember NEVER pay for guru advice, try free sites and work up from there.

I've started a blog on this at http://paidtowebsurf.blogspot.com and would like to hear from you.

If it was possible to become wealthy doing "On Line" jobs...India would be awash in millionaires. They have better broadband access, many trained computer engineers, and a desperate population willing to do anything to earn money. If it isn't happening there, it sure won't happen here. What sort of credentials do you have compared to an engineering degree? How much time are you willing to spend doing work rather than playing on line and playing with your new girl friend?

Work is providing a service or product to people who want it and are willing to pay for it. Valuable services and valuable products reap greater reward. From your post, your focus is not on getting a job as much as having someone else finance your play time with your new girl friend. As long as that is your attitude, there is a good chance you will never get employed.

You need to get off the net. You sound gullible and easy prey for all the scammers out there. Forget FB, you need to get a real job and a real life.

I would keep at it (persistence wins), but you shouldn't need to invest much. You can surely teach yourself excel, with what is available for free online.
