WELCOME TO WORK IN HELL! 
When Working Online Becomes Hell
I've been at this for a while and I've not only met some cool people out there in cyberspace but found good resources for making extra money. As the chance to relocate away from La-La Land is becoming more of a reality, I've been kind of aggressive in my search for supplemental income until that great (or acceptable) opportunity comes through that is synonymous with lower living expenses.
Anyhoo, this past week was not a great one as one client who wanted a 400 word informative article, accepted it immediately, then gave a not so great review which blocked other opportunities. I've been with this content company for a while and have had pretty good communication as far as satisfaction with all parties has been concerned but this review took me out of my previous ranking which means fewer opportunities to get paid. So far I haven't gotten feedback as to why they would wait more than a week later to say they were happy. Damn doofus!
Also, I used to do mystery shopping and data collection for numerous marketing companies and made a nice side income but now everyone is jumping on that boat. I did write a few articles based on mystery shopping that I'm still getting residuals for but I think my bright idea is backfiring big time. There is a company that wants price verification on 50 items, note whether they are or are not organic, store brand, etc and now they want to get technical about the sizes! And you have to be discreet about getting this information,BS! These jobs now don't pay enough today (gas is back to about $3/gallon - again).
Thank God my grandmother taught me how to save!
