A Trickle of Pennies

Just some lidded bowls I made in the past.

I had a very emotional weekend for reasons I can't talk about. Even though I write in a pseudonym, I still think I have to respect privacy. I'm through it and so are all parties concerned. In fact, something good may have come out of it. This might lead to future discussions but for now, I'll let it rest. I did get some good news though. My favourite NFL team finally won a game this season. That's not the main reason for my joy though. My writing linked to my Youtube efforts is actually bringing in a few pennies on Hubpages. Showing definite increases over the past three months. Youtube won't make anything until I hit ten thousand views on my channel. That seems extremely far away but in the mean time I can be happy about my pennies.

@koopharper they used to randomly delete my articles - It put me off being there - they can be terribly elitist

Hubpages was never very lucrative for me. I was posting these articles there for lack of another option. They fit and are doing well. I intend to post a how-to article there linked to my Youtube videos on the same subject every time. Appropriate Amazon links there might do really well. We'll see. Right now I'm happy to see more pennies than I was expecting.

Sorry to hear that you went through a difficult time but glad you got it sorted out. I think when it comes to online earnings, even those few pennies can be a good motivation. Good luck!

For now, a sense of moving forward is enough. The online earnings right now are encouraging because they are more than I was expecting.

Your call. In the meantime pennies bring some kind of joy I suppose. Getting those views need constant attention I suspect. Never tried youtube so much farther behind.

@koopharper I see how it comes together It would be nice to be one of those large earners on the tube but not everyone gets to that.

@Bluedoll If I could replace our meagre income, I'd be happy to work full time at home. My wife would like that as well.

I've tried to link it all together in one grand scheme.

We do. Being a father figure in a restaurant full of young people can have its moments.

Thank you. I intend to keep doing a steady bit of work on this whole project every week. If the numbers keep trending up I will be a very happy camper.

A few pennies is certainly better than no pennies.

I put the name of the channel on there. Still working on making everything up and running. Doesn't help that I don't have a lot of time and I'm pretty tired. Tomorrow should offer a little bit more time to pay attention to it.
