I thought that I was finally getting #work from one of those #gig sites. I got an #email saying it .However, when I went into this site, there was no message about it. It might have been a #scam. I really do need to work. I am sick and tired of constantly being #unemployed. This is not my first time. It's the first time that I am without any #income.
@adhdcanadian I think those sites are a waste of time. Look locally. Find small biz network in your area and join. Reach out to everyone you know, tell them what you’re doing and you’re working for yourself and ask them to look out for you. That’s the best way to start. Write physical letters to potential clients and Inc your CV. I did these things 20+ years ago when I started and I’m doing them again today now that I’m starting again. They work!
@larrygmaguire Not everything works for everyone. I have tried to network, but I only got the message to #apply online for a job. Yep, people said that. I moved back in with my mother 2 years ago, and I haven't been out social. I don't know anybody who want to hire me. I'm not good with #selling myself. There is a story with that which I will not get into here. I don't own a #printer because ink is expensive. But I have to go to Staples to print something....
@larrygmaguire Problem with that is that not everyone will get the same #results. Being an #unemployed #writer I have read tons of articles about how to make money online. I did try them and those didn't work for me. But I am #writing online to grow my #audience. And it is slow but worth it. But I am looking for all avenues of employment not just one. My own gut feeling is telling me to get a main job, and look for #gig work on the side. Who wants to be unemployed with no other #income?
@adhdcanadian yes do that. do whatever is necessary to cover your basic income needs. Then in your spare time #work on your craft.
@adhdcanadian try something. Something works for everyone. If you do nothing, nothing happens.
