Am here for you fren. Id say do your own research, but here ya go.
If i were you id:
1. Buy chainlink (because i myself believe in the project)
2. Stake the links when staking is available (passive % income)
3. Set up a chainlink node to earn links everyday by having an idle computer

First start saving for an emergency (that you can atleast support yourself in case of job loss for 3-4 months), then start paying down every debt you have.

Don't fall for the car and expensive clothes and mobile meme.

Doing above puts you already in the 10%.

Next steps
- if US look for the military
- or join a trade

Investing and or entrepreneurship is simply out of your realm atm.

Hey Anon,
At the moment there is only one crypto to buy BTC, learn about hedging with options & market sentiment (It will take a while). Don't fall for the daytrading meme! Also Chainlink is not crypto, its an ICO coin, aka Scam. 99% of the coins shilled here are scams & the majority of posters are newfags like yourself ('17 or later).

Learning a trade or working construction is good money. I did locksmithing a while back as an example. Try to specialise if you can over the years.
Pay all debt, Don't join the military unless your willing to kill for Israel.
If you want to start a biz, your going to need 5k minimum. Think about what you want to do while saving. But try an 'unsexy' biz.
Best of luck Anon
Last parting advice is not to trust anyone on /biz/, even me.

I hope you get out of your situation, anon, but don't put all hope into internet passive income because it isn't as promising as it sounds. Unless you have a good following and your name shows up at the top of the search engine, nobody will give a fuck. I've written two books, painted pictures, published a video game, set up an online store etc, and not one of those took off - I'm a nobody, nobody cares.

The rest can all fuck off if what I'm about to say rubs their sore asshole, but crypto will not get you rich. The chance with Bitcoin has passed back in 2012 when you could literally buy hundreds of them for pennies.

If getting out of your current situation is a priority, sign up to workaway and do some volunteering. Do teaching abroad to get shit into perspective. Enroll into a lifeguard course or personal training or just change the job. Once you're in a better place with a stash of money, invest into assets such as land or housing. It might work, it might not, but you'll take an opportunity that many people don't.

Not a scam bro. I wouldn't bother typing out all that shit just to fuck with you. I tried to help, even spoon feed. There are literally thousands of people doing affiliate marketing. IT's not some new shit. People have been doing it since the dawn of the internet. Of course, there are some affiliate programs out there that ARE scams but you just have to do your research before you jump in. Read reviews about everything before you buy.

That's why you pay for ads. SEO doesn't really work anymore. You know the saying, "You have to have money to make money"? Well, it's true, sadly. But there are enough resources available on the net nowadays that you can do things cheap af. Paid ads is the only way to go to get your site exposure and help it take off. Also, you always want to utilize bullshit social media links (FB, Pinterest, etc). Pinterest has been most valuable tool aside from paid ads

Congratulations on escaping your mom. That’s a huge accomplishment even if you feel panicked now.
Your next step is to acquire skills so you can get a better job. I’d recommend trade school as that has the lowest barrier of entry and high earning potential.
If you get into crypto without understanding what you’re doing then you’ll be gambling like 90% of biztards here. Don’t do it. You will lose eventually. If you insist on getting in anyway then buy and hold a top 5 coin. Don’t fucking trade or randomly believe people when they shill something. You’ve got to do research so understand everything about a project if you insist on leaving the top 5. You will not get rich quick.
I know nothing about dropshipping.

Here's what I did:
>Brainstorm on my web site for about a week. Plan out everything mentally (layout, links, color scheme, navbars, etc)
>Draw main pages on paper how I want them to look
>Go on Fiverr and find someone who can do photoshop/gimp, html/css/java
>Send them your drawn plans and tell them everything you want your site to be
>Send them all graphics/scripts/text/etc you want included
>Have them create a photoshopped mockup of your idea
>Once happy with their design, have them turn it into a real website
>Pay them for their work then you begin filling in all of the sections with your affiliate links/reviews/blog/etc
>I took articles from competing web sites and payed writers on Fiverr to rewrite them in such a way that they will pass Copyscape
>Plug those articles into your site
>Launch site
>Pay for ads
That's it. It took me about 3 months to complete all of that and about $1000 total. $1000 total for the web site and articles. Ads are different. You can pay as much or as little as you want, whenever you want.

I didn't do exactly what he does. He goes through affiliate programs like Mobidea. I just go directly through the source companies. He makes excellent points on why you should go with programs like Mobidea though. I just think it's easier to go through the companies themselves. Those affiliate companies are excellent for beginners though. I went a different route because I did some affiliate marketing in the late 90's so I already had my feet wet.

Do not fucking touch it before then. Do not bitch about the price at any point in time, you had 2 years. Do not get euphoric over the price at any point in time before your 2 years are up. You'll only miss out on the gains by wanting to cash out early.

If you have poor parents, go to college on the government's dime once you have saved up some cash. It's a Jewish scam, but if pick a good major and aren't a social autist (network), you'll graduate with no real debt, and can walk into an entry level job with a lot of growth potential.

Find a percentage of your income you're comfortable with investing. Now allocate half of that to long-term and half to short-term investments. For the long-term investments you're going to dollar-cost average. For example, you're comfortable with putting $100 into crypto monthly. That means you're going to put $50 into crypto each month no matter what. The price doesn't matter. Each month you're putting $50 into a select few coins you think you be worth a lot more in the future, e.g. Bitcoin. You're only going to sell these coins in a few years when you like how much you've made.

With the other $50 a month, you're going to try to short coins. Crypto is notorious for its volatility, with some coins gaining 50% in a day often. But coins can also lose 50% in a day. There will always usually be a coin gaining 20% in a day. If you can try to predict which coins will pump by analysing charts and data then you could be doubling your short-term money every month. E.g. you invest $50 in month 1, and by month 2 you'll have $100 plus another $50, which by month 3 will be $300, and month 4 $700, $1,500, $3,100, and so on... Obviously you're not going to be able to predict every pump and you're going to make mistakes and lose money instead. So you need to keep your expectations low and be aware of the usual patterns coins take so you know what actions to take.

Crypto is a capital gain and therefore is taxable. Every country has a different tax system, so you need to do your own research there. Make sure you keep a record of every single transaction you make.
