I am struggling because I have so much time on my hands and I am not doing things that are very productive. Right now, being productive means making money or taking steps that will lead to making money. I want to make money without having to rely on a job. I make roughly $24 per day doing personal tutoring. I want more money but I am not sure how to get more. I post ads on craigslist daily but that hasn't got me anywhere. I don't have a trade and I don't have a service to offer that people are willing to pay for.

Right now, a part time morning job would be better for me than what I am currently doing. If places were hiring out here, I would consider it. I know things will improve but I live in the present and presently I need money. I guess I just have to sit back, be patient, and hope for the best.
Stop focusing on making money and begin focusing on providing and creating value.

Tutoring = value to another person. That value to another person you provide, they in return will pay you for your time. Begin providing the BEST possible tutoring that you are able to provide.

Another thing, do more then you would be getting paid for. If you are currently getting paid $24, provide $2400 worth of value in tutoring that the other person thinks they are getting a deal and getting away with it.

Stop focusing on yourself. To generate income from tutoring you must focus on the other person.

If you really get this, you will be on your way to better income. But if you don't then you will be chasing "money" for the rest of your life.
