It is one of those times when nothing seems to work right for me. knoji has low SEO, iwriter- I am not getting compatible assignments and expertscolumn is down at the moment. I feel exasperated. Have you faced such situations and what did you do to overcome the frustration?

I can understand your frustration. It is hard when we are trying to earn money and nothing is working out like we had hoped. When things like that happen I just try and continue to find other ways of earning. I have been trying to reach a goal of a certain earnings each month. That has happened yet but I will keep working on it and see what will happen. It would be nice if there was a job that we could do online where we actually made a decent earning. But it is hard to find that type of work.

Thanks for the information about articlegate. It will be nice when there are other legitimate site that pay well. It hard to be able to supplement income or make an earning online. I keep trying to look into different avenues. Hopefully something will start to work out for me and others as well.

you are so very right dear, when will we ever be paid the right due as far as online earnings are concerned, I do not know. let us all keep searching for the right site and do join articlegate, in my profile, I have given info. They dont take money from referrals and the site did pay me this month for posting about five poems (and promoting through twitter). it is far better than triond and no cheating or minimum payout stuff. No hard and fast rules

I usually quit whenever I'm frustrated. And you are not alone. You know, I tried my very best whenever I write for Knoji or for some other writing site. Not only that, I study on a topic if its going to have a good ranking, I also promote endlessly for people to find my work. But, it seems, we are not really the problem. It is not our fault. I guess, whatever happens, it just happens. So, I try not to take things seriously anymore.
And it helps at least for me.

We cannot always have control over situations or even our own circumstances, but we definitely have control on how we will act and fare in such seemingly dire times.
Times like these, I try to step back and relax for a bit. I tend to worry a lot when I feel like nothing's going right for me and too much worrying will tend to cloud my judgment. When I'm calm and have accepted the situation, I list down every issues I have that I can possibly think of, as well as the solutions that I can come up with. Then from there, I will narrow it down to which among the solutions are doable and then break it down into short term plans that I can immediately execute. I may not always come up with great ideas but by the time I'm done with the brainstorming, the last thing on my mind will be self-pity and resentment and I will be so ready to act on my plans. And of course, prayers help a lot.
