However begging for money won't get you anywhere, EVERYONE expects a hand out. I suggest you go look for work, post on CL or freelance boards and try to pick up a few people. Charging someone $500 for SEO/SMO won't be the difficult if you have a track record of success, then all you need is 4 clients and you have your $2,000 that you EARNED rather than trying to borrow from someone.

First thing tomorrow you should create a solid resume and get 3 testimonials of people that you worked with in the past. Put it together in a nice PDF file then just start looking around for companies in your area. Show up at their door with your printed PDF from staples in a nice cover with a contract in hand saying you normally charge $1,000 for this but you are helping out local businesses and will do it for $500 if they signup today.

Just my and exactly what I will be doing to recover this huge loss and I'm certain in 3 weeks I will have more than what I need.

In my case I decided to fund a business out of my own pocket and partnered with people who are not giving it 100%, so now I need to give it 300% to make up, but that was MY RISK and its MY FAULT, so now its time to shine
Good points, and I feel like an asshole for asking publicly..

I'll try making up a resume and see how that goes. I wouldn't think that local businesses would pay a single local guy up front that much money for the first job, though, but I can always try and I have some great references.
