As i reside in South Africa, getting writing jobs is not easy at all, as we prefer to get paid in dollars, but working your butt of and get the response that a client is not satisfied with your work and you will not be paid, believe me, you have never seen a 35 year old throw a tantrum. I personally think that if you are someone like me, who is not a writer but like to do articles and research for an extra buck should just send all these people who actually betray you and your hard work at the end of the day, right to where it is hot all day.

Your has been a difficult journey I can tell. You keep plugging away and the technical help will come. I'll tell you something right now: Please do not pay anyone a single time to teach you about the technical stuff. Lots of great folks are around that will be happy to help for the asking - I'm one of them. If you have a question about something just let me know, OK? George Patricia.

I spend a lot of years doing great work for the church …then got the great dump…
I set up a wonderful campus ministry program at the new college in our city for $500 a month and no benefits, worked 70 hours a week and taught in many of the programs for free to attract students to the wonderful programs we offered on campus…. they set me up and I was fired…now they have been through about a dozen other ministers and volunteers and they now pay $2000 a month and benefits for a guy who goes out to campus when the spirit moves him away from his book…

hmm…I was a volunteer counselor because the children needed me and still do…though I got gas for my car and a discount on my cell phone

I am trying to believe I will get paid for something I do and money that is reflective of my work…but I am increasing gun shy…I set aside an hour a day to work on the business end of things and stick to it…I will get there
I can’t make twitter work and am just to lesson 5 on Traffic Rush and SU…I am a very slow learner on the technical stuff…trust me on this… but everyone wants me to pay them so that they can tell me how to do “it”…I have no money…really.
