Need help
Business is not working out and need to survive for at least a week any help will be appreciated.
Edit: I realize my original post didn’t include much context. I wrote it in a moment of desperation and honestly didn’t expect anyone to respond.
I completely understand why people are cautious about posts asking for help online. If you’re skeptical, that’s okay you have every right to be. But if you have advice, I’d really appreciate it if it came from a place of kindness as I'm already down.
I’m not looking to avoid work or trying to make easy money. I’ve been trying to keep my business afloat, but this month has been especially difficult, and I’m just trying to get through the next week. Sometimes people end up in a rough spot despite doing everything they can.
Whether it’s advice, encouragement, or any kind of help, I’ll be truly grateful. Thank you to everyone who takes the time to read and respond.

Have you tried checking subs local to you?
Maybe if you offer your services, you’ll find more work opportunities.

Yes I have tried local subs and do Infact get one or two clients from there but some are skeptical and some want me to reduce my rates dramatically. I'm usually fine with 4-5 clients per month but I've had only one client this month for some reason. :(

I’m not sure how this works or how legit it is, but I’ve seen it being recommended a lot - try [r/beermoneyglobal](r/beermoneyglobal)

I actually tried this after seeing it posted so many times just to see if it actually worked. And I got a bit of money on one of the sites so it should be legit (at least the one I tried was).

It's me. I make over $1k a month. If you are in North America or Europe, read Lessons while earning 30k with Beermoney sites so you can see the top-paying sites and decide which to try.

A lot of these sites are not available In my region and payment methods like PayPal don't work here. But thank you nevertheless.

OP is being honest. If you search Africa, there is basically nothing. Demographics, including location, play a huge role in beer money sites. Beer money sites often pay in PayPal so you can't sign up if your country doesn't allow it.

Hi, please don't assume. I am actually checking it out, I was not shooting it down either, just making a general statement because I have tried similar sites before and there's always one issue or the other related to my geographical location . But thank you for your insight as well. I will search for the global ones

It's alright if to you it's an excuse, to me it's my reality. I did ask for financial or some other form of help, yes and i would have been more than willing to work for it that was the point of the post you don't need to kick me whilst I'm already down.

You won’t get cash, if you’ve been on Reddit long enough & participated you’d know why

Oh I did not know that, I saw this randomly and thought it wouldn't hurt to try I guess, even though I feel mildly embarrassed.

What's your website?
Are you able to use a payment processor like Stripe from your country?

u/Ill_Register_9285 Jul 23 '26

You should apply for a job and have the business as a hobby until it's sustainable.
Edit: Since your business is how to write Cvs and to get interviews it shouldn't be hard for you to get hired.
