Looking for Online Jobs
I always hear my friend talk about his online works before but never tried doing so myself. I thought it must be a good job for him but not for me. I'm a hardcore offline video editor and motion graphic artist so I thought internet job is enough for me.
There are times however that life is becoming hard and I think I also have to try some online jobs. That's because even if I learned a lot of skills in Adobe Premiere, After Effects, Photoshop, 3D Max and what not, I'm not really making so much money from them. I'm just gaining minimum wage and it is not enough.
I then considered looking for online jobs applying those skills I learned. It's just not practical for me though since online file sharing for videos can take a very long time. I'm then considering doing article writing like what my friend does. I'm a communication graduate anyway and I also learned journalism from school.
I then looked for article writing jobs online and I found craiglist and many other places. I tried to apply to some of them but I didn't have very good results. I was not able to write for a while and it's really taking me a hard time. I also made myself some blogs in blogger but it's just more of free tutorials. I thought of earning from adsense but google is just not accepting my adsense application.
Learning Internet Marketing
This is the time that I realized that I need to learn more things about internet marketing. I joined a seminar in our place and I guess I learned something. It's not enough though so I still kept on searching for more tutorials online. I then found a free lesson that I bookmarked in my browser. Though it's great, I think it will take me forever to make some money from that thing he is teaching.
Finally, I found Steve's "I've tried that" site and I enjoyed reading his articles. Of course I don't know him personally but I guess he is more trustworthy than those other unrealistic ads of others I saw. I then joined his one week course and he is recommending Wealthy Affiliate University. I thought of giving it a try so I enrolled. I'm glad I did because I really learned a lot in my first month alone
Doing Online Jobs
I needed to earn some money for me to have something to use for my monthly subscription at WA. I then did some article writing jobs applying the things I learned. Though I had some failures, at least I had successful works and finally earned money online. I also had the opportunity to do web designing and I found out that money is even bigger here. It's just that, I'm only having web design jobs once in a while.
I'm also running some online business now by selling affiliate products. Me and my partner is also setting up a website offering web content services. Though internet marketing is still my part time job, I can see that there is really a great opportunity here. I wish I started doing this many years ago.
