The First Day of My Freedom
Thursday morning was my First day of my freedom. I were planning to fire my boss for some time ago but it seems he do not coordinate with me as he suppose to do it, meaning, he fire me ahead of my schedule. Yes, I am now another guy for the unemployment statistics in the world due to the recession.
This could be the end of the world or the beginning of a brave new world, all depends if I can raise enough income before I run out of money. I am not searching for a Job too hard, since I really want to stay like I am now but with a regular income.
Actually when my boss were telling me about my layoff I were trying not to smile too much, I had a crossover of feelings, feeling relieved from that place and at the same time thinking "Now What", what I suppose to do. I have a toddler son pre-diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome and a credit card debt of $9000 us dlls (use to be $17,000 but I were able to paid $4000 and at the very moment when they fire me, they make me pay another $5000, money taken from my layoff compensation, cool guys dont you think), so after thinking on this I still think this could be the best thing that could ever happen to me.
Now I have a lot of time to spend with my son and wife PLUS lots of time to invest on my online biz. Now I can interact with you a lot better, and maybe able to write more often and build some MFA sites to make money online.
The only I need now it is suggestions on how to make money online FAST, since the money from the layoff just gives me some 8 months and after that I will be in real deep sh"#%@ (excuse moi for my french). Right now I am cool enough, but this is because I still have lots of money, I even have a lot more money than I use to have, the problem is that this is my salary for 8 months and that´s it.
The bright side of this is my money thinking mind it is quite sharp, I guess it is the adrenaline, knowing that this situation can be disgusting, but I know this will be the best opportunity I will ever had. Now it is the time to invest and work harder than ever and make this online business to payoff.
I will be putting some deals like products for very few bucks and also I will need to be doing a lot of work in affiliate marketing and write my first ebook. Lots of work but lots of time too. It feels great to have this Freedom, even if I still have not the income to survive, but I know I will soon.
Other task I will be doing is a lot of article submissions to increase my backlinks and traffic as well as forum interactions and been more active in social sites like Twitter.
BTW, I haven´t had the time to announce that I have a poll in the rightside widget bar, you only need to scroll down a little, hope you don´t get to tire after the scrolling. Its about a comment I had about my helmet cursor that I put it before the superbowl since the Steeler won and I am a truly die hard Steeler fan, well I just forgot and actually were kinda feeling bad to remove it since its the helmet of the 6 time Superbowl Champions, but my true intention was to remove it right after the Superbowl some 2 months ago. But now I guess it is time and since I dont want to remove it because it feels like I am a traitor to my team, so I will let you choose by voting, If the majority vote for removal, then I will do it, knowing that I did not did it myself, I just will be Following your Orders, therefore it would be your fault and not mine.
This way I will not feel bad for the removal, call me insane, romantic (so to speak) or whatever you want to call me, I don´t care cuz I know it will probably be all true, so why fighting against the truth, Ha!, So please do me a favor and vote, this is election time for you. This poll will ends in April 13th, so please vote. Thanks in advance to all of my voters.
Just some clarification, "Yes" and "Do It Fast" it´s about the same, but I let you to release your anger against the Helmet. If you only want me to remove it then maybe "Yes" it´s your best option but if you are truly mad about that annoying Helmet cursor then vote "Do it Fast".
To your Success,
Luis Torres

Paul U- Hi Paul, Thanks. I know I will be able to do it.
Hi Luis,
Well you’ve always wanted to fire your boss. Just take it that you fired him a little earlier than planned. Do you have plans to start a few more blogs like niche blogs, now that you’ve got so much time on your hands. Anyway, whatever plans you have in mind, good luck and wishing you much success. (Hey now it looks like we can’t fire our bosses together like what we said earlier).

Luis,
I just realized you still have Sezwho on this blog. You mean you can still use it even after Sezwho says it will stop its service. So much for my rushing to change it on that very last day.

passive income ideas- Hi Peter, Yes I still haven´t deactivated, but incase you want the plugin I have it, so I can sent you the plugin so you can try it.
passive income ideas-Hi Peter, yes you are right I am considering this as minor plan change. One of the things I want to do is exactlñy that, to build some niche sites the kind of MFA sites or so, maybe having 20 or 50 would give me enough to live.
Thanks a lot for your wishes.
You know Peter, that´s the worst thing about this, I will not be able to fire my boss at the same time, but Hey you can fire your boss now so we can be almost full time online bloggers at the same time, LOL.
20 MFA sites? You got to post about that in your blog. Or create an ebook on it. Really want to learn more about it.
ian- Hi Ian, I will do it, but first I need to build them all. besides that I will write a lot in Today.com, I will open a blog. They pay you to write a post. As I remember was something like 5 dlls.
@Luis Torres: No Luis, I’m quite happy with my Disqus. As for firing my boss, no I cannot do so now as I cannot afford to quit. In a way you are lucky as you can now do so much for your business.

passive income ideass last blog post..8 Top Internet Marketing Tips
passive income ideas- I know Peter, was just a thought, lol. I kinda feel free, since I can work with my own schedule and would love to make a living just by working from home. I even went to look for a new laptop since mine is a little too slow, it completely outdated. I found a good one for $1200, HP, core-duo, 4 GB of ram, 320 G of hard drive, I think I can live with that for the moment.
Yeah, being out of job sucks big time but it could be a new beginning of something B-I-G-G-E-R. You never know where it would bring you to.
Drop me a line whenever you need any help with your MFA sites, Luis.

@TRW Free Credit Report- Thanks a lot Yan, you really dont have idea how much I appreciate this gesture from you. I will let you know, you can be sure about it.
Hi Luis,
I know you’ll be successful in all your internet marketing endeavors. Just remember to stay focused and not get side-tracked by information overload. You have all the necessary ingredients to make it online. You have the drive, determination and creativity to make some serious $$$.
Oh, one other thing; you really should get rid of the Steeler’s cursor. I find it very distracting especially since I’m a Giants fan:-)
To your success,
Robert
Roberts last blog post..Something Incredible Has Arrived!
Robert- Hi Robert, Welcome to my blog. Thanks for your wishes. I will try real hard on not get to overload with info that could be the main killer if I let that happen.
I guess you vote it, thats cool that you want me to remove the helmet cursor, but I dont understand how a guy can not be a Steeler fan, LOL:
Luis,
As the above commentators said before me “you can do it”. Sometime something good and positive comes out of something bad. Now you can use this all free time you have to really focus on your internet marketing endeavors and start making serious $$$.
If you ever need anything, you know where I am 😉

Salwa- Hi Salwa, Thank you for your kind words. I know I can and will succeed online even more now that I have plenty of time.
What a great opportunity.
Not many people have 8 months to work at something full time before it has to provide a full time income.
By the way, i’d lose the Steelers Cursor, it makes it hard to navigate the site.
8 months will go by quick, I would get hammered down! Good luck and blessings!

The Almost Millionaire- Hi Brandon, I know, 8 months are not much time left so I bettre hurry before I got out of money. Thanks to visit.
Thanks for stopping by the blog and for you comments. Keep your head up man, I agree with Sire, when one door closes, a better one is just around the corner.
The Almost Millionaires last blog post..Pure Michigan
The Almost Millionaire-Hi Brandon, Thanks for your support I really appreciate it. That´s what I like from the blogger community their always so supportive.
Sure does suck that you lost you job that way, it would have been nice to stick it to the boss, but I wouldn’t have done that until I had another one lined up. I wouldn’t sit around waiting for the money to run out either; I’d be out there looking for something real quick. Who knows what missed opportunities there may be if you wait too long in finding another job.
Sires last blog post..Obama Girl’s Stimulating The Stimulas Package
Sire- Hi Sire, yeah it was a shame my boss did not allow me to fire him first, but anyway, now I am talking with some guy I know to get a job on my Alma Mater and also my wife and I want to put an offline businss that she will need to operate since I will be developing my online business meanwhile, I am doing lots of research and talking with people so we can start right away.
Thank you for coming and your kind words.
Well, it’s good to see that you have everything organized. I’ve always found that when one door closes another one opens, and when that door opens I hope it leads you to good fortune.
Sires last blog post..Obama Girl’s Stimulating The Stimulas Package
Sire- Man Hope God Hear you, cause I am sure this should be happened for good, I was not happy at all in my job fro some time, now I feel less stress, maybe this can help to improve my overall health, lol.
Hi Luis,
Hummn. If your enthusiasm is really on online business, then it is a great opportunity that you can now become a full-time online entrepreneur. There’s a great risk on doing such, but in return, great reward waits for any people who really believes. I know you can do it. Try to explore more on marketing – viral marketing and guerrilla marketing, these basic concepts helps a lot when it comes to efficient boosting of everyone’s business.
@Vic- BusinessAccent- Hi Vic, Yes it is, but I am also looking for an offline business that my wife may help me and I am talking to my Alma Mater so I can grab a Job in the college. Of course i prefer to succeed online and do nothing but working from home. As I am doing right now, lol. I just need enough money and that´s it.
Luis,
I’m glad you’ve got a few things all planned up nicely. Looks like you didn’t waste much time did you. Sometimes when such things happened like this, they make you grow stronger. Also good for family ties bonding too. You’ll do just fine Luis.

@Alex, Hi Alex, Thanks to visit my site. Actually I have a question for you. Did your funds can be used to buy an existent web business? Like the ones in sitepoint.com
Yes it can and even better if it already generates cash flows.

@Melody- Hi Melody, Thanks, it truly is somewhat stressful, knowing that the money I have may be gone soon. But I know I will find an offline biz and develop my online businesses enough to say to my former boss, I am better now than working in that Company as slave for the rest of my working days, lol.
The best things to do in these times is to keep moving on. Make a little then move on further!

Steves last blog post..5 ways to increase traffic to your blog
@Steve, Hi Steve, Welcome to my blog. Did you found another job or just got a business? DId you have any recommendation?
As I Promise, I just delete my Helmet cursor. Since the votes were 5 Yes and 2 Do it Fast so that counts as 7 against 4 No´s and 1 did not even notice the helmet cursor.
Thanks to all the voters.
Great to see the helmet gone! 🙂
Lol, If you voted I guess you were one of the guys that said “Do it fast”, lol. I now see that the site loads faster, that gotta be good.
Best of luck with your new endeavors.
I hope you can make it in the online world.
Hi,
Thanks, I hope it too. Working hard here. Keep coming.
I remember my first day in freedom some 10 plus years ago. You may have some money now but don’t let that make you feel too comfortable. Get working now! Good luck.

guy with glassess last blog post..One Hour Eyeglasses: Save Your Money and Wait
Basically, I didn´t make it on my own before because of that job that took too much time out of me, but now I am starting all my projects and will finishing them up faster.
I think it also requires more discipline to work full time on your business don’t you think. Like when you’re doing it part time, your few hours a day seems so short and one tends to really focus and get the most out of those few hours. Now with a full day’s time at your disposal, I guess you really have to discipline more to get more work done. But I’m very sure you’ve the positive attitude and will speed up your business even more. BTW have you created any new niche blogs. I like to visit them if you have. I’m thinking of adding one too so I’m getting some ideas…..just one LOL.
Peter Lee
Hi Peter,
Right now I had a new one but it is about my journey with my son and the Asperger Syndrome and Autism Blog, it´s a today.com blog http://autismasperger.today.com, they pay you to write. You also can give yourself link love from a high quality site, just use the juice from them, lol.
I am researching right now to build up a niche site, but do not want to just start one without knowing which keywords to use, I need to setting up right from the beginning. I let you know what my other niche sites will be.
nah, sucks when you are idle doing nothing.
