Since I was a teen I always looked up different ways to make money without having to actually go to work. I was in school and the thought of working and going to school just seemed like a lot and thinking back now I would have failed and my grades would have been horrible.
So I would look up ways to make money and a lot of answers were to do surveys. So I would sign up for all these websites and do all these surveys and only end up with 50 cents. It sucked pretty bad and I really just wanted money. The only money I got was on Christmas and my birthday from my parent’s friends. With their money, I got a tattoo because why not.
However, I have now graduated high school and well I need to get a job and I was so ready to get a job then Covid happened and well it stopped. Since I wanted to keep my family and I safe I thought it would be best to stay home until Covid was calm and the numbers weren’t high. It was going ok for the first three months but then I just felt really broke and my mindset was that I need money.
So I started my freelance writing career and it hasn’t taken off so well. Like I said in my last blog post how in the last 4 ish 5 months I have only made about $215 which is not good when I want to survive on my own. So of course I started googling everything I could do to make money at home and no not surveys.
I ended up getting a lot of ideas and making accounts so I could start the process. I made a Patreon, a Blog, Another freelance website and another website where I could write and get paid and I currently just made an account on Poshmark. As you could tell I made a lot of accounts trying to make money but one thing my brain tends to forget is the fact that it takes a while to actually get money like on my Fiverr it took me a couple of months just to get my first order.
So waiting to start selling my work or to work with other people is pretty hard and I’m super impatient to make money. However these past months I have learned that I love doing what I do and that’s writing although I may not be making money right now in the near future there could be a chance that I will make money that I can survive off.
So now I’m gonna try selling clothes that have been in my closet for a couple of years. Clothes that have never been worn because for some reason I am super picky with my clothing so sometimes I end up with clothes that I hate or they are way too girly for me or just fit my body weird.
Will selling my clothes fail? Maybe but that doesn’t mean I’m not gonna try. Plus it’s a good way to get rid of clothing due to the fact that I have too much clothing already and I barely wear half of them.
This year I do hope to make more money and get a job. There is a big chance I will do more googling finding ways to make money even if that means getting a real job. I am tired of being broke and I just want to start supporting myself.
