RE: This Could be the Future for Content Creators on Steem
I have cut out many luxuries in my life. Only simple foods (are the best anyway) which cost 80€ per month. No fast food, no drinks, nothing extra.
I don't drive a car and I don't take the bus, I only go with my 2 legs. I have canceled my gym subscription and I learned to workout at home with the weights that I have and my bodyweight, I am able to sustain my muscle.
Also I have changed the electricity provider that saves me another 30Euros.
The simple life is best! Hardship makes us stronger.
If you have a garden you should plant potatoes and many other veggies.
You can make it Sharon!
If the price just goes up to 2SBD/Steem again it will be twice as easy as it is now.
And if not then we will gain from the hardship and get creative! I have ordered a green screen today and I will soon do high quality self-improvement videos with a positive message only!
Besides tha, I have also contacted adsactly to write posts for them on a weekly basis which give around 40-50SBD at the current value for each post.
Furthermore, you can also sell things you don't need (I could sell my TV).
I wish you all the luck in the world Sharon.
Thank you, Philip. I believe in both of us.
I'm already eating through the kindness of friends for free and have no possessions of value at all. I'm in a hotel room in Bangkok with basically nothing but clothes and this laptop. This is my nomadic life and it sure is catching up with me today.
I recently noticed this adsactly thing since they tweet their steemit posts and are on my list over there. I guess you write it and they post it. This is an interesting model. I really hope it works for you. You always have great posts, and the more exposure the better.
I definitely advise selling the tv. I got rid of the one I had about 25 years ago and have never once missed it. I do not need that distraction.
I pray for crypto to rise daily now, but God has not yet answered that prayer :)
Maybe you can do some work there? Just to get by?
I'm on a Tourist Visa so that is not legal here. And my health is not up to a nine to five and why I chose to work online. I was supposed to go on disability back in the states but chose not to go that route. I can here because things are cheaper, but now I am not even making enough for that.
Hi Sharon, you can try teaching English online. Some of the mamas at @steemitmamas recommended https://www.ipalfish.com/klian/web/dist/teacher/mobile/invite/teacher_invite.html?uid=2144389 or https://t.vipkid.com.cn
It's worth a try if you have good internet connection. Hope it gets better from here on.
Thank you for the idea. I have gone through the testing at one site and my wifi is not good enough.
Aww crap. Even though I'm in the US I live in the boonies so I wish I could pass the internet speed on those. When I think of something else, I'll keep you in mind.
The schools really want you to have a land line, but some allow wifi if it is good. Mine is bad nights and weekends because I live in a hotel and all the people come in and use it then.
Thanks so much for thinking of me :)
Lawd have mercy.
No kidding.
Just after I replied to you, my Thai friends messaged and asked me over for dinner. Now I have food for two days and then they will ask me again. I am proving to them that all people from the us are not rich. They can't believe it, but they help me so much.
As soon as I get there, a pile of food is put in front of me and I eat like an animal. This is one of the many blessings I am thankful for, but I still need to pay my rent and my son's in California or we are sunk in less than 10 days. He does not have nice people to feed him, unfortunately.
Most of my Thai friends speak no English. But the one who does, told me money is on its way tonight. I am counting on her to be right.
When it rains, it pours.
But when the storm is over, the sun will come out again. 😇
