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.
