Blogging, Writing, Youtubing

It seems as though some days I am on a money-making merry-go-round. I bounce from affiliate blogs, to freelance writing, to making videos. Today I started with writing a post for swimsuits. Later today I have four freelance writing articles to complete. When I take my mom out for a morning ride, I'll try and take a video of something to post on YouTube. The only certain income is the $18 from the articles that take a little over an hour to write.

18 dollars for one hour work is no too bad. I have finally decided to start to write an e-book. The first chapter is now written, a lot more to do.

You sure sound very busy. I think having the freelance writing assignments is a good thing. It forces you to focus, and you probably learn something when you write. When Helium and Associated Content were paying good rate in the past, I loved to write to some titles in Helium, and published for upfront payment. Now I do not have the discipline to write.

Freelance writing is very stressful and requires a lot of discipline. Everything I write is reviewed by very strict editors. It's hard when the return something for revision and I don't understand their comments.

Making that much for just over an hour of work is a nice chunk of change. Of course anyone who has worked online knows that having many eggs in our basket at all times is a must. Good luck with your progress.

Funny to think of you writing about swimsuits when it is just now getting cooler where I live, I know it is hard work to earn income online, and I envy anyone who can actually earn anything. Because of my day job I could never get in on freelancing, so I'm stuck with places like MyLot. Affiliates and youtube never earn me anything.

@NeldaHoxie Maybe you could write about how you are doing in affiliate marketing, that would be interesting and helping for others. Thanks Nelda.

@marlina I will definitely write more about that since I spend hours every day doing it. Let me know if I get boring, okay?

It is a constant up and down. I've been doing it for almost 20 years, so I am as used to it as anyone can be.

The life of an online worker can be challenging at times but I find there are enough people doing it that you can easily find support from others. Just stay positive and plan ahead.

$18/ hour. Do you consider it's good income?

I have done a lot of freelance writing and it's sure pay but it's easy to get burned out for me. I don't do it as much these days. I may have lost the ability to generate verbal enthusiasm for things I don't care about..

Having a definite $18 is great. I just passed on a writing gig, I decided I don't want to ghost write at this time, just not in the mood. One great thing about being retired. lol

You're certainly a busy lady! Unfortunately my writing is a long term project and the money won't come for another two years!

I used to write too a few years back I stopped coz I didn't get my money. But you're okay if you have done an article and got paid .
