Don't Keep Those Non-Existent Eggs In One Basket
As an online web-writer, it's hard
enough to make a living. So, in the event one of the sites you write
for goes belly-up, make sure you're keeping yourself spread around
and not just getting screwed over by just one site.
I recommend variety. Each site has its own style of not paying. And, it keeps things interesting. You might find it best to write for one site which seems to hold their religious/political beliefs against you, while another site has a staff of functionally-illiterate editors preventing you from being published.
(Extra points if they behave like it's all worked out between you two and they chortle along about how much they care about you on Facebook and publicly – just to be extra cruel. The extra points are theirs by the way. You get nothing. To hell with you. Fuck you, in fact.)
But that's not enough variety, I say. To keep yourself jumping and collecting cans – perhaps even getting to the point a “Will work for food” franchise starts sounding like a raise, you need a site with vague, arbitrary rules and an unidentifiable staff telling you “as long as yous don't break rule, you gets pays.”
Remember, you need multiple reasons why you can't send in child support or support your own smoking habit, as some way to numb the pain. This way the ambivalence and frustration makes death seem like the only relief. Then, admin can profit from your work long after you're dead, since, while you're alive, mere lack and want isn't enough satisfaction for the ranchers controlling the cattle.

Goodbye AdBrite
I've just made a decision about my blog. I've just removed a long-time sponsor from it and for good cause. Maybe you might do better with AdBrite - but me – I'm a little tired of being kicked in the teeth.
I've had a small relationship with AdBrite for years now. And there have been a few times I've made a few dollars, so not all of the memories are bad. But after the month of November 2011, wherein I've had more blog visitors than ever before, I see a whopping total of 19 cents in earnings.
In fact, over the past two years, I've seen such little earnings with them, it's not even worth sweating ever collecting a cent from them. 19 cents for my best blog month. Admittedly, my blog sucks for visitors compared to most others. And that brings me to my next point.
These last couple of years, the advertisers using AdBrite have gone from good to bad to spam-a-licious. When I've addressed this with admin they tell me, when I increase my visitor totals and the quality of those visitors (whatever the hell that means anyway), I'll see better advertisers.
What? In order to get anything much more than “Congratulations! You're today's lucky visitor!” I have to get the kinds of page views that are usually turned off by “Congratulations! You're today's lucky visitor?” Talk about Catch-22. Besides, my visitor totals have been increasing, in spite of this, "Congratulations! you're today's lucky visitor," is all I see. (By the way, who could ever get tired of seeing that ingenious, well thought-out marketing approach? It just gets better every time I see it. Not lame at all, right?)
Awhile back, I was seeing those scummy, lowlife ads where some advertiser using AdBrite is basically trying to trick folks into downloading something, allegedly because their video player wasn't updated. Although I repeatedly rejected those ads, they kept showing up.
Contacting admin, I was told I needed to set my adzone to “family friendly,” and that it would significantly lower my income. So, if I am to ever have a shot at making money with AdBrite, I have to deal with these types. Well, I'm not settling for that. I sell my soul enough as it is.
Dealing with AdBrite has been a lot like being told that, in order to make a living, I have to deal with scumbags. I'm tired of the negative impact their ads have had on my blog. The folks at WoT have told me what shows up on my page from these advertisers AdBrite deals with. They're just not finicky enough to deserve to be on my blog.
Then there are questions too, regarding the way they work anyway. Even though lately, my visitor counts have gone up, the earnings just are not going up accordingly. I contacted admin about that as well and was told – in short and what appears to me as – they just don't have the advertisers. This, in spite of everything I was told previously.
No more. I will not let others dictate what I carry on my blog, for the sake of maybe earning a few dollars a month – unless some other problem arises. I will not be told to jump through hoops to just be denied my prize anyway. Perhaps others might give AdBrite a try and they may just love them but not me. Not anymore. I'm done with kissing the ass of those who would treat me badly. I have been patient enough, to such a point, I have wasted my time. No more.
Goodbye Adbrite. You're off my blog. I'll have better luck relying on the occasional donor. I'll have better luck finding my own advertisers (Hint-hint to anyone willing to sponsor my blog). Regardless, I'm done playing stupid games..

Developing Your Writing Gift-Magena Fawn
Developing Your Writing Gift
A good writer will read and study a variety of literary works by a number of authors. This past Memorial Day weekend, I picked up a short story by Ernest Hemingway called "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" while
resting at a bird sanctuary in Lexington, Virginia. This story is about the death of an author who is on safari in Africa. He is lying on a cot waiting for the vultures to devour his remains. He realizes he will not receive medical attention in time to be saved. Like most people, he has regrets as he lies at the door of death. He regrets that he didn't finish several writing projects. He mourns at the thought that "now he would never write the things that he had saved to write until he knew enough to write them well".
While punctuation, spelling and grammar are certainly...Go here for the best!

French Men Drop Their Drawers to Save Their Jobs
French Men Drop Their Drawers to Save Their Jobs
And Put Together Something Special for Women
We all have one, or have seen one. Some are bigger than others; some don't quite measure up to our expectations. Some are thin, some are thick. Some are put together pretty good, some fall apart. Some sparkle, others are dull and lifeless.
Some have little glitches on them, some are smooth as silk. Some have a staple, some are just perfect. Some are dark, some are light. Some try to initiate a mood, while others just hang around. Some you would pass up, others you would pay a lot of money to see.
I bet you have one, and your dad to and your brother. I know people that have more than one. Some people have one in every room in the house. Some people could care less if they get a new one or not. Some people recycle theirs.
You have one, I'm sure you do. I have one also. As a matter of fact I'm looking at it right now. Yes, there it is. It's right here in this room where I can see it...it's my wall calendar. My beautiful "Just Labs" 2009 wall calendar that it totally PG13 rated.
Some workers in France put together their own raw calendar. The reason 'behind' the calendar is to help save their jobs, or they say that's the 'point' of it. You heard me; they are letting it all hang out in order to draw attention to their potential unemployment. How this is going to save their jobs is way beyond me. I guess in the overall scheme of things this is much safer than blowing up the post office after you are fired, or kidnapping an x-boss to prove a point. At least no one gets...Go here for the rest!
