THE SUCCESSES AND FAILURES

I have had the privilege of reading widely. I wanted to quit my job because I felt I want not being useful to the company at all. In finding what I could do as a freelancer I stumbled up someone by the name Emily. She is a writer and the way she introduced herself on her blog prompted this post.

She says she started what she thought was a blog post that ended into a best seller. The she raises her two dogs wherever she lives. People love animals. I love them because I love meet. The responsibility of raising dogs? For me, Questionable.

The next thing that came to my mind was the three blogs that I started and all of the failed. Terribly. I wrote good articles and some of my friends visited the blogs. I had a Facebook page with a hundred and seventy likes. The blog was doing really well until google blocked me from raising any money on it. The first two blogs did not do very well. The third one did really well and in a months’ time I had fifteen dollars in my account. In the end, they all failed.

I applied to be a freelancer on freelancer and things looked brighter there. I spent most of my time online looking for opportunities to earn. Freelancer started well and on my second day of bidding, I got two projects. Then I wrote two short articles for my employer and submitted. He went mute and never responded. The other project I got did end before the employer told me to stop. I had taken too long to finish it. I could not tell him that my computer had an issue.

I decided to look for other writing opportunities and I applied for writer bay. The process is lengthy and tiresome. In the end, they told me my writing is terribly poor. The article contained either too many grammatical error or plagiarism. Plagiarism was wrong because I write my articles. May be too many grammatical errors because I am not a native English speaker.

Therefore, I got two other websites uvocorp and asia writers. I made my applications and by the time of writing this post, none had given me feedback. Although Asia writer had asked for my identity. Looking for what you can do with your skills can be a daunting journey. I decide to write these posts and save them may be in future I will need them.

The moment I get results, back I will let you know. However, I have had far too many disappointments. Including jobs.  There is a possibility therefore, that I will not get positive feedback. However, I look forward for better response for these type of employers. 

The problem is that I think I am better than who I am in reality. I guess writing is the way that I could do and my leisure would be out in a volleyball pitch or lonely at the beach with my box guitar. At least those are five hundred words in my head right now.
