Hi, i’m a student, so i’ve got no money to spend on anything involved in publishing
All i have is my manuscript with an excellent story.
So, can i get a lot of money in selling my book within the first two years (i’m not talking millions, but at least £10,000 would be great), without having any money to begin with? Considering i have no money to afford an agent, a publicist, marketing or promotion or liability cover
Should i give up trying to publish the book? I need the money though.
@first answer: in case you didn’t read, i’m a STUDENT! I’m not meant to find a real job!
@katniss: i doubt many students have jobs to pay a publicist £500 a month. Bit rude of you implying i haven’t researched
Thanks Lynn, for not being a spacker like everyone else
@katniss: For being 17, you can’t expect me to know much about this. I’m studying. That’s what y!a is for, for finding answers. Besides, you must be like 102. I’m not surprised your so ‘well-informed’.
LOL That’s WHY I’m writing my novel - I need the money. 
So, you have no money? That means you have to do it the hard way - learn how to write well enough to get published and then learn how to get published. Will you make 10,000 pounds? (Hey, American, so our keyboards don’t have the pound sign, we have the $ sign.) Well, that’s jumping the gun a bit (like one or two years too early.) First you learn what you have to do, then you do it, and then you find out who pays what you want, and make darn sure you write it well enough that they’ll pay you that kind of money.
How do you make it good enough without money? Once YOU make all due effort into producing the absolute best (which means you have to learn what publishers are looking for, but I’ll give you the names of two books that I bought used and helped me), then you find others trying to do the same thing and proof each others. And, if you’re lucky, one of them has editor-for-brain and can make it up to snuff. I did luck out. Because I write, one of my friends is a full fledged "grammar police," a good thing since grammar isn’t my thing. She promises to get the grammar right after I get it good in all ways but my grammar issues.
Here are the two books that got me started. (And remember libraries and used bookstores, but you have money. Everyone has money. Some of us merely don’t have as much as most, so we buy only what we have to. These are "have-tos.")

Oh and all that to say, I certainly hope you don’t need the money in January. We can get published if we work at it, but it does take time. I need my money by this time next year, so I’ve been working on the novel for a while already, and have a schedule of when to start sending it out.
Added after reading the rest of the crap you got -
Best revenge for such idiots? Blow by them in your learning how. Don’t entertain their "idiotness." (Well, too much. lol) I had idiots like Katniss. (What, kat? You can dish it out, but can’t take it?) They motivated me. Look. She’s taken "years" to get to mediocre. I blew past my idiots in two years, because I did study how. (And my idiots were published. lol)
You didn’t know. How do you research "How do I get published if I’m broke?" I gave you a start. You’ll figure out how from there.
But, hey, now. I am old. I’m 55. It doesn’t matter when we start, just how motivated we are to get there. "Flat broke" is the ultimate motivator.
