This blog is the glue that keeps all my financial options together. But gah if I feel like at times those options just suck.

ATM:
Selling
Blogging (still on 1 blog)

Top10/Maholo take longer
Email Texting

I want more than writing fluff articles on Demand. I'd kill for a blogging gig but I'm getting kinda put of from the myriad of fruitless ads. Ugh how feels like I'm being toyed with. Something wants to just be more patient, but I have a bill to pay and it's loling at me.

I'm highly tempted to do a money auction, and just do 10ten/Mahaolo exclusively. Article writing on shit I don't care about takes me waay longer than blogging and writing on stuff I do care about. Sounds like a devious plan indeed.

To blog...what fun it is. To say whatever you want and sorta get away with it. That was my initial draw to do it, you see. But then I heard about blog advertising - and went 'what?! LIES!' And so my journey into making money by doing this, and other things I like began.



Now don't assume that the only reason I write. I write because it makes me think. Makes me sane and hell, makes me smile. I even write because for awhile that's all I had to do. But eventually I began to seek out places that would let me make coin from this. I researched, and read far and wide tips on how to make my drabbles marketable.

Some places had little to no work. Some had work but wanted you to jump through hoops to get it, some wanted already beefy blogs to use. But some let me in with a gleam and a place to market and vent. Some that were good for me at one time have become bad and restrictive, and some that were meh, have grown into a hop spot.

But all in all blogging, and marketing these blogs have been life changing and redeeming. I love to write, to talk and to discuss. It's what a blogger does. Dare I say 'I'm a blogger'? I think it's time to admit this and move forward. I. Am. A. Blogger. There, I said it.

Now I admit freely that I've been aggravated at IZEA for awhile now...blog advertising store (aka paying post) has become a new creative hub for me. Even though their queuing up for posts system is a bit annoying and customer service replies are SLOOW, they have well paying posts for the taking. I feel like I can actually say what I want and not sound like a corporate shill. AND they actually try to help you improve your blogs to gain money. Who else does that! Most are like, 'hey work on your pr' and they drop you off into the lake. I am so far a bit smitten. Weather that will stay the case only time can tell.

I usually lol at bidding sites. I either have to bid too low or get out bid on work that isn't worth it. But I have no feedback because of this. So I decided to bend and see what I could get. At I am haggling with a review project. I'm working for a bit less then I'd like but hell that's a feather in my cap! Here's to hoping I'll get it :)
