I am in need of some aid. And I don't know how many random members will see and respond appropriately. First up this is not technical or motivational help, I need financial aid. I am unemployed and my current savings which facilitate my premium status is about to expire this month. I do not want to lose the motivation I have as being a premium member. I know some will say I can just do level 1 but I want to go the full mile.
I am hopeful for many successful outcomes. Either I get a job in the next few days (or a loan) and my status doesn't lapse or I start to make money to pay for my account myself. The problem with the latter is that I don't see that happening too soon. If I can get a loan from any member that would be nice but probably an impossiblity as well. I also think that overall I would have to sprint to make some money and I know this thing doesn't happen overnight. That is why I want to keep the premium so that in time it will start to pay for itself.
I hope I can garner this type of help from an already helpful community.

I am sorry but my husband and I are fixed income and we live paycheck to paycheck so we can not help either financially. Like some of the other members said below is good advice.
I would think of something that you can do just for the time being till you get back on your feet. We are all in the same boat.

Hello Julian, I am not certain where you reside, but I would suggest looking for part time work in any field until you can find something in your field of expertise. Many people on Wealthy Affiliate are in the same situation as you and cannot afford to support someone else. Some are retires who are on a fixed income and are trying to supplement that income. I hope you do find someone who can assist you. All the best.
As Susan said, I have had to sell things from my home to afford things throughout the course of my life. Facebook Marketplace works well. I do not personally have the funds at this time to be able to assist monetarily. I really do wish I could. Excess furniture, clothing, books, CDs, a lot of household objects can sell and generate quick cash.
I am doing this now.. so like I said. I am also looking for employment in the real world as well.
I make $340/mth donating plasma. Takes less than an hour and you get a free physical the first time you donate. First visit takes couple hours, after that about 1 hour tops.
Julian,
You have come a long way to give up now for whatever
reason - be creative - I do not know where you are from
but have a yard sale - use your expertise that you have
gained so far to place yourself in a position to make
money in your community with Local SEO - go check
Boomers blog on Diversifying it will also give you some
great ideas.
When things get tough the tough get going you can do
this "Giving UP" is that seriously an option :)
Best advice I could give you would be to try and find a real world job that pays the bills and work on your sites in the mean time. Like you say, affiliate marketing is a slow burner so you ideally want a real job in the meantime.
You can use your experience at WA whilst applying for jobs; you had the initiative to create your own online business- that's more than a lot can say.

Webbuilding, learning and earning is a long process... it would put the burden on other struggling members.
Best is to level down and seek another solution ...
So it is looking that the subscription will lapse. I have subscribed via PayPal will WA automatically revert my status or will the subscription be still active until I cancel it from PayPal.
Best is to do both...
ok I have to cancel WA premium manually as well? I will look in to it.
Yes... better do both
Ok I am trying to cancel but it says close account. I don't want to do that. Is there another option?
Better see wIth site support and ask what your best options are...
