Hi Laurie,
I'mvery new to this forum, but know exactly where you're coming from. I too am now not spending anything on internet maketing (got bitten once too often!!).
What about finding out what talents and skills your friends have - you'll probably be very surprised at their hidden treasures. Perhaps some of these could be used to make money. What about them composing ebooks or music or how to do its? I'd be quite happy to proof read anything for you(no charge of course), if that would help. Gon't ask me about music though I'm tone deaf!!
Hope this triggers a few thoughts and good luck to you.
Jane.
Hi Laurie,
My background is JV Giveaway events, they're great for people with very little money who want to learn and take positive steps forward.
You can join as a member for free and literally help yourself to loads of quality freebies, such as software products, ebooks, audios and training videos.
For the more ambitious, they can list - free or paid - and start to build a list and make some basic offers.
They're a great way to start, you can go as fast or as slow as you want. and you can even do it for free all the time ... though of course there are more benefits for people who pay ... but paid prices start as low as $7.
Let me know if you want to know more, I created a free e-book that I gave away in my own events.
I don't advertise it now, but I'll send you a copy directly if it's useful.
All the best, Paul

I see that you have a possible hungry target market (niche) but that they do not really have the funds to support the usual methods of monetization such as promoting affiliate programs for hosting, courses, marketing tools, etc.
Perhaps you could set up a marketing cooperative for First Nations people. People could contribute skills (time, art, knowledge, etc.) instead of money. You could earn money off of the success.
Here are a couple of examples.
1. A First Nations Art and Music Web site that sells art, music CDs etc.
2. Set up a business incubator for First Nation businesses where you teach them to be successful and take a percentage of the profits.
3. Set up a cooperative loyalty buying program for First Nations where they can buy groceries, clothing, etc online and a loyalty percentage goes back to their communities along with administration fees for you.
You could call me at 1-866-413-0951 to chat about some of these ideas.

Laurie,
I'm a little new to the forum too, but been around for a while (in sales & mktg online & off)... Here's my take...
If you're wanting to make some money selling to your FB group value... and if they've come to
know you basically on a free communication basis like FB direct monetization can be difficult... however
if you offer massive value in relation to the product you sell or promote to someone who does, I think
you should be alright... For example... let's say you offer a 4 week coaching program on x,y,z for $19.95 and
include a 60 day money back guarantee. Maybe do one hour of teaching and one hour of live Q & A afterwards
twice a week... etc. etc.
Sure it probably seems a bit over the top, but you'd be surprised how many people would take you up on the
offer... BTW you could sell your program on a webinar.
Just some thoughts... Remember, massive value to a target market you know & like and they know & like you
and you have the makings of a win win all the way around.
btw I left out trust, because for the most part that's assumed until you or they do something that
damages that bond.
Hope that helps.

I've sent a few people some PM's etc. some really good ideas, thanks for all the suggestions, ideas etc.
Need FRESH PLR? My writing comes highly recommended (even by that Merz Sr guy that runs this forum) http://provenprofitsplr.com PLR packs starting at ONLY $47. Ghost Writing starting at ONLY $35.00.
my advice ? start anew and start building oyurselfa real email list where the people have the capacity and ability to sign up and purchase something. tell your fb friends about the new list and get them to sign up there if they are interested.
