Days 17

These days I am always on the lookout for an extra income. You know that phase, when you finally realize that your salary is no longer enough for you to get by, I mean, when you calculate so thoroughly that at the rate you're going you wont have the money enough to afford a decent living. I am in that stage right now, especially when I discovered just how crude the policies in salary increases are in my company (it's barely noticeable) So you look for different ways but you just cant catch a break.

I must admit that I am hopefully wanting for this blog to make a profit someday, if I become good enough in writing. But as of the moment I can only see myself writing for an audience of one. There may even come a time when I finally realize that I dont have enough talent for this writing gig and call it quits, but not today. 

Aside from that I try to make an extra income off of survey sites and youtube videos. Unfortunately, the only ones that did work is the survey site but then it was so small that I hardly felt it. As for youtube videos, the only thing that did went popular was my uploaded video on network marketing, but then when I figured they are just desperate sellers of products using my videos to persuade their contacts to buy, I decided that it's not worth it and now I am in the stage where I need to reinvent myself. Baby steps First, this, and then videos and maybe create my own site one day.

Another is to find a way to freelance my skills somehow. Make use of the eight years I had going in accounting and accounting systems and earn a quick buck here and there, but these things need training and I cant afford training right now. Someday, I hope I can be a tax lawyer but for now, its still a prayer.

Lastly, one thing I really want to do is to start a business. Like what my mentors are doing. I kind of admire their courage and skills for being able to start a business albeit the risk of failure. I hope one day I can rise from the ashes of my failures in network marketing a come out as a successful entrepreneur. You never know.

Then again, I can just quit my job and look for a better one with a clear policy on salary increases and bonuses, But thats another story
