Let's just say that earning $0.27 does not make for an encouraging start to a new career. Add that to a tough week, a heat wave, and an offer of janitorial work that sadly got me excited (hey, a girl's gotta eat), I just about threw in the towel.
The day after writing my eHow articles, I'd earned $0.27 from 38 views and was pretty excited. Three days later, with +100 views and no change in my earnings, I felt like the wiffle bat of reality had clocked me good. I moped the rest of the week, refused to check my eHow profile, and spent the 4th of July holiday telling people I was looking for work in my originally-intended career. So yes, I had a little pity party for myself.
My earnings have since gone over the $1 mark and the wiffle bat came back to beat into me that I don't need to change my plans, I need to stop thinking that this was going to be so easy. So I'm back to work on eHow, and promised myself that I will start submitting things to Constant Content, Associated Content, or a similar freelance site. No more wussing out.
