Don't you think its ironic that a college student with a degree can't find a job in America? Well, unfortunately its true. Our economy is suffering big time and unemployment continues to sky rocket regardless of what the media/news feeds you.
If people with a college education can't find a job, can you imagine what it must be like for other people without an education. I mean, here we are told that college graduates are more likely to succeed in life and earn a higher pay salary throughout their lifetime than a person without an education and then we are faced with the realization that there is not enough jobs for everyone not even college grads.
Its like a stab in the back and the realization that things are headed for the worst. I've been struggling to find a job(yes a woman with a college degree can't find a job..lol). The economy must be bad if even I can't find a job. There's plenty of jobs available that don't require education but no one will hire me because I'm overqualified. Wow! The tables have turned.
Today it seems like the statistics regarding job income for college vs no college are not the same as they used to be. I am starting to think I wasted time in college but its too late now. It seems like the jobs available now are either underpaid or we are overqualified. I wonder if I can omit my college education and if it will increase my chances of getting a job. I just want a job,any job is ok but since this is not working out, I decided to start an experiment and see if it works.

I Will be self-employed and I will write and publish for a living online.
If you've been following or reading my blog articles, you can see that I don't publish often. I usually write from 2 to 3 articles a month or less, but I still managed to make a few bucks with Google AdSense.
If you don't know what Google AdSense is, I suggest you read this book called
Essential: About Google Adsense !
Google AdSense is not a get-rich scheme, you have to work very hard to make any money at all and you usually only make money when people click on your ads.
I've heard from other bloggers that in order to make a living out of writing online, you have to make a commitment to do it like if it was a regular 9-5 job. You have to write everyday or at least update your website or articles everyday. You have to be extremely active online with participation and dedication. I haven't exactly done this and this is why I believe I haven't been successful as a freelance writer and poet.

I don't want to monetize what I love doing but I am a single mom and I need to feed my children and this is the best way I can think of that will allow me to share knowledge and my love for poetry, music, and information with others while still having the job of my dreams. Self-employment is almost every good mom's dream.
I Will continue answering and asking questions at WebAnswers
In case you don't know what this is, WebAnswers.com is an information Beta website in which users get to answer questions and if the answer gets chosen as the best, then you earn from the ads. In other words you help other people by answering their questions and sharing your knowledge and you get paid. Another way to make money with WebAnswers is to ask questions. It's a good way to earn money.
In fact, since I joined, I've seen some increased changes in my online earnings. You do not need to have a Google Adsense account to join WebAnswers, however, after you answer 50 questions, you are given the option of applying with Google Adsense.
To learn more you can go to www.webanswers.com and start helping others with your knowledge and information. The great thing about webAnswers is that you choose what questions you want to answer and you can even ask any questions you want.

I Will focus my attention on Rich Content
Most of my articles consist of songs or poetry that I write. I will continue to write as much as I can and write about other things that are on my mind or that can help people. I do admit though that I don't like to stick with one topic so my articles vary from each other but most of my articles have rich original content.
I try to express my opinions and views on life as much as possible on my articles. As for my poetry, it doesn't get any personal than that. In fact, my poetry and music is a reflection of who I am as a person and what my thoughts, feelings, and beliefs and views are.

I Will expand my Content and expand my writing
Since I started writing online, I have only written on my blog and made a couple of youtube videos but nothing major. My plan is to write for other webpages such as wordpress, hubpages, online magazines, forums..etc..anything that will allow my content to expand. I will continue updating, writing, and building up my blog The Vane D Dayz but I don't want to limit myself to this blog only.
I Will Invest in my Online Self-Employed Business
What I mean when I say "invest" is that any business needs advertising of some form without being annoying to others. By investing in forms of advertising such as AdWords, it will help my websites to be indexed at the top of the search engines. I either invest with money or I invest with time such as using free tools to drive more traffic to my website.
One great tool that has already helped bring traffic to my site is Pingomatic.com. Everytime I make changes to my blog or I post a new article, I enter my url and it automatically sends a message to the search engines that my website is updated. This helps to index my website and blog so that people can find my blog when they search for a particular topic.
I will Be more Serious and Take Action
When I first started my blog, my purpose was to share my music, poetry, songwriting with the world. I never even thought I could make any money with my website and I didn't take it that serious. It wasn't until a few months after starting my blog that I realized I could make money online and I noticed that the more effort I put into it, the more revenue I generated.
Of course there has been times when I don't make anything at all and that has gotten me discouraged several times but I am not known to be a quitter. I will give it all I got and if I fail it will not be because I didn't try. I owe it to my children to at least give it a try and if I succeed it will prove that hard work does eventually pay off.
I Will read and learn as I work
One of the greatest things about being human is that we never stop learning. Even when we feel we know what we are doing, there is always something new we need to learn and improve. The web keeps changing every minute so learning and staying up to date with everything will help in building up an online business.
Even Attorneys don't know everything and they must constantly keep up with the fast changing laws by practicing law and keeping up with changes for as long as their career is active so why should it be different for anyone else.
I Will Be More Social
As a busy mom, I rarely have time for making friends or meeting people outside of my home. Its very lonely to be me..lol..and there's times when I just feel like giving up on my social life and continue writing but I know this is hurting me more than anything. How are people going to know who I am if I don't socialize more.
It might seem impossible but I know I could put more effort into going out more and meeting with other people that have similar interests as me. This will not only help me develop healthy relationships that may last a lifetime, but it will also enrich my writing as I am exposed to different experiences and a different atmosphere.
I will not forget my Main Purpose
My main purpose for this online journey has and will always be to share my poetry, music, and information with others that may inspire or help others. I feel as though the only way to make this possible is if I dedicate my time to do just this but I must remember that its not about the money at all. All that I want is to be able to provide for my children while still following my dreams and goals in life. That doesn't make me a bad person that just makes me normal.
If it was up to me, money would not exist and everything would be free. Unfortunately it was a generation of humanity that let this happen and in order to fix this we must learn how to be self-sustainable. In the meantime, these bills keep piling up and someone has to work to pay for them. We could go on and on about these social political issues but that's a whole different topic that should be included in another article and believe me, I will soon. I have alot on my mind that I need to share with the world and I know the best way I can communicate is through writing, poetry, and music.
