Learning, Earning and Changing

div>
I spent yesterday looking over my articles at eHow, and upon closer examination, I was just shock to see "How to Make Your Own Beef Jerky" has earned me around $17.00 since its creation on April 22nd, 2008!

This is my best earning article on eHow, and what funny about it, is: I had one comment, and only three stars! It was viewed 3,914 times! This was like a kick in the rear since I didn't burst my brain out to write it comparing to other articles.

What is worst? I didn't use too many tags/keywords, nor promoted it! What a shame!

I edited 10 low-earning articles so far, adding links to my other articles at different websites, changing keywords, and adding categories. The things about keywords: I am still in the dark about what considers being the high paying keywords!

Personally, I don't like adding links to my own article, but taking these successful ladies' advices, I did! They are in the same category though, or related to the subject of the article!

I credit this endeavor to the Podcast ladies in my last post. There are so much to learn if you keep your ears and eyes out. Just be ready to absorb the information and apply it.

As I edit my eHow articles, I jump over to Associated Content, Helium, Hubpages, and Squidoo to look for similar post, or related category...Lord and behold: I earned a badge on Associated Content as "Top 1000 CP"! How can this be? What the heck is going on?


Well, I have to find out how I manage to earn this badge without being active on the site! This is how Associated Content explained it: "Our Top 100 & Top 1000 badges are awarded at the beginning of each year, to the Content Producers whose published work from the previous calendar year received the largest volume of page views. Content Producers must have published at least twelve pieces of content during the year in order to be eligible."

After the shock, a pleasant feeling creeps in! I sure can use some good news right about now. The beginning of this year has brought me nothing but headaches. Looking at these accomplishments somewhat ease the pain of life.

I am writing at eHow and have over 100 articles, but I am not very active in promoting my articles. The community there seems to be very supportive. I have over 200 friends because I accept every request. With these numbers continuing to grow, I have about a handful of really supportive friends. Terry Lynne, K. Bali, Judy Sheldon, Goodselfme, and Barry331 are some of them.

I will have to go through my articles on eHow to edit, edit, and edit! Time to put some work in and take my mind off other unpleasant troubles of life. Nothing is better than keeping busy!

An Odd Feeling!

My little boy had a soccer game at 8:00 this morning, and so away we went! As always, we got there early so he had time to warm up, while the parents stood around and chat away in a group of just couples.

Suddenly, I felt very alone among these people that I've known for the last three years. It was an odd feeling of being so out of place. I found myself slowly walking away from the crowd as they talked and laughed and complained about the aches of their last night soccer game together.

It finally soaked into me that they are couples, husbands and wives, and their children forming a soccer team! They share the same activity, and they have something to talk about whereas my boy and I are just the outsiders!

The feeling was strange! It is not the first time I am alone! I have been doing this by myself for over seven years, and my son knows that he is on his own to care for himself out there since I am disabled. My mobility is limited! My financial situation is in a slum! I can barely afford to pay for my child to play, leave alone paying for me to play even if I could play!

Watching the parents buzz over their kids, run to them when they are needed; I felt bad for my boy!

May God Have Mercy!

I am in a jammed right now, in real life, so my being is scattered with thoughts and worries! The days and nights are very confusing. I pray a lot! I howler a lot! Yeah well, nothing helps to ease my heavy mind.

How to get out of this trouble? What to do? How to do it? These are the questions that occupy my being. I can't sleep! I can't eat! My stomach is in knots! The weather is freezing, and icy! Therefore, my mobility is very limited also!


Darn it! I need a break! I need to have an easier life to deal with! Too many things hit every since I was born! But I didn't curse my life. I just work with whatever God gives me. I only wish and dream and accept. This time though, I'm losing my spirit and the will to fight!

Here I Am

Many things had happened since my last post! I just had to take a break from life itself. Yet, I still wrote many articles during this time, but I could not write on my blog.

So here are my excuses/reasons:

First, I was discourage about making the adsense works, and see no reasons to waste my time.

Second, my beloved couples passed away, within one month of each other. With their deaths, I was left to contemplate on how their love lasted for so long, and yearned for a relationship that was so grant!

Third, my daughter graduated from high school, and got ready to move away to college.

Fourth, my oldest son was diagnosed with high blood pressure while worked on the cruise ship. He is only in his early twenty! After he was done with life at sea, he moved to Maryland!

Just like that, I lost two children in one summer! I needed time to adjust with my emotional and mental stage to accept this new adventure.

Finally, I broke off the relationship with my neighbor when she became abusive and taken control of my life. She wouldn't take no for an answer when we didn't feel like hang out with them. My poor little JoJo couldn't even introduce her son to his friends as neighbor! She would come stamping at my house and yelled at him or me.

We had to live in fear of this gigantic woman for a while, and I finally figured out that she fits the characteristics of a bully. It all started when she realized that I had no older kids at home anymore.

To make the long story short, I was aimed to call the police on her if she continued with her nasty ways. (It is winter here, so we are safe until Summer time.)

At the end of August, I started another blog, and concentrate on providing more useful, entertaining, and fresh content rather than rambling.


My new blog is doing great, and I love working on it more each day than the actual writing for websites! Making money is still my number one priority, and I have to do whatever I have to keep alive.

Beside keeping busy with Reach Beyond Limits, I also blog at Today.com, and yes it is a a paid blogging site. Darn it, is there anything that doesn't cost any money?

If you want to join Today site, sign up here! They are paying $1 for a post of 100 words after it's approved. (Update--they scammed you to join, and they'll kick you out after a few months!)

If you are noticing the color orange of all my blogs, don't ask! I need some bright colors in my life to take away all the dark clouds!

I currently go through a template-craze, and still work on this blog. Hopefully, with this new change, I can feel more inspired!
