I have put applications into every business that is hiring within a 30 mile radius of where I live. That happens to be about 2 businesses, and the filing deadline had already passed when I sent out my resume's. Other than that I have sent about 20 applications and resume's to at least 20 companies in the area who are not hiring in hopes that they have need for someone as talented as I am. I have not received a response yet. How can I find a successful venture out in the middle of nowhere in the middle of a recession, unless you'd like to call it a depression? I've searched deep and wide to find a service where I answer really dumb questions for hours on end for .10 per answer. I have found a potential way to make money, and I'm learning the ins and outs of blogging. This is starting to get fun, however I've made zero money on them so far. I certainly have a lot to learn. I'm writing articles for other people's blogs, and that pays all right. I can do it part time and make a few bucks. Another thing, I am a customer and representative for a "wellness company". Another word for Network Marketing person. The goods they sell are great, so I'm doin all right with that too. For the record, I have been working my butt off, and I have not seen my paychecks yet. They all seem to be out there in cyberland waiting for a click. In the mean time, let me just go back to my article writing, and make another couple bucks for the day.
