Scary Thought, I might try my hand at article writing.

Today we will be continuing on with my saga about the constant decline in my finances comparative to the decline in the markets. I’ve probably written about my pending decision to give up sattelite for broadcast tv. (really its not a decision its an eventuality.) I personally only consume about five hours a week of television. It used to be alot more. Anyhow I know its something I can easily give up to spare myself some trouble in the face of this recession. My family however uses it almost constantly. I’m not sure I can put up with the complaints that will ensue. I guess we will see.
Well what I wanted to write about this week was actually writing. I’ve been looking for ways to make a quick buck online. (legally of course) And aside from selling what little I have left on ebay I’ve come up with a few ideas. The adsense from this website has earned me a whopping seven cents this year. (at that rate I’ll get my first check from google in the year 3046) So internet advertising is out of the question. What I’m thinking of trying is article writing.
I know lots of websites purchase well written articles for a small fee. I know you’ve been reading my blog and you are thinking well written? I actually can do much better than my writing is here. My blog is the place where I unwind and let off some stress, so sorry folks you are not getting the best of what my mind has to offer. The real question is whether I can convince someone to pay me enough to unlock the lazyness barrier.
I’ve done some research about what it takes to make it working as a writer. Theres an interesting article about it here. I don’t plan to try it full time. I’m just wondering if its a reasonable way to make a few bucks on my day off. I might be able to do two or three articles a day during the weekend. At twenty bucks a pop that is not too bad a haul for playing with the computer. Of course I look the part, so I could probably make the same cash sitting on the street corner with a coffee cup and a cardboard sign.
As a last resort there is always blood plasma donation (its not really a donation). It would be first on my list, except that the donation center is more than a half hour drive away. If I drive there it costs me the gas and I don’t make much if any money. If I ride the bus, it takes all day and I chance getting sick from some contagion bieng hacked around. Have you seen the kind of people who ride the bus downtown into the heart of the city?
I’m very handy, and can do almost any kind of odd job. That would seem to be my out except with a recession I’d have to fight with every other looser out there who thinks he knows how to hold a wrench. (I’m probably not really any better than them but I can pretend to be for my blog. Nobody here knows me in real life…)
Well the saga continues…
