I REALLY need advice/help - GoFuckYourself.com

MakeMeGrrrrowl · 07-07-2004, 10:24 AM

Okay so my Uncle is like 60 and he's having a really hard time getting a job, basically he can't. He's been doing sales most of his life in various mainstream things. But I guess at his age, no one wants to hire him. So when I woke up today my mom says "Uncle Kenny wants me to come over there saturday. He wants to get into the sex business" Grrrrrrr!!

So what advice do you give someone whose never done online marketing, sales etc? Where do you tell him to start? I know I have to come up with something, cause they're pretty much broke at this point, but I'm not sure where to start with him. It would be better if he could just find a company to work for, but with no online experience who's really gonna hire him? I know he's desperate which basically means dedicated so that's not a problem. He's got plenty of time on his hands, so again not a problem. But what does he do with his dedication/desperation and time?

Any advice would be awesome!!!

Oh, I own a phone sex company as my main thing...I really don't have anything for him to do with me. That's why I am trying to find something for him to do on his own.

I guess it's ok to advise him, and point him in the right direction, but not to work with you or for you!

Right, that's the plan. But since I pretty much deal with only phone sex (a few other things as like a hobby kinda thing) I don't know a great deal about other ways to make money. I mean I know there are TGP's, PPC search engines, affiliate sites, link lists etc...but I just don't know which way to point him.

Of course if anyone is hiring *smiles* he's very personable, reliable, and smart =)

Since he is older I would recommend getting him into the marketing end of things!

Can you go into a lil more depth with that please.

Now mind you, when I say he's sixty I don't mean he's walking around with a walker or anything...he's a kewl dude and active, he's a young sixty sorta...just not young enough for mainstream people to hire him for any work that's going to be worth anything. Sooooooooo the net is our friend at this point lol
