I am a Blogger/YouTube Creator

 



My Longtime Work as a Survey Panelist
For many years, at least 30 years now I have been a survey panelist, and being a survey panelist is the most underpaid profession in existence. For 2 years now I have been trying to leave all surveys behind and just be a blogger and or YouTube creator. I have watched videos on how to be a successful blogger or video creator. First I want to explain that a survey panelist has to deal with shady companies who give you a long list of questions for you to qualify or disqualify for a survey.  It happens a lot that you get disqualified after 30 minutes of questions which is so unfair to the panelist. 

If a company decides to pay for the survey, the pay can range from 10 cents to $1 for 20 minutes or $1 for 30 minutes. Very seldom is it more than that so this is a confusing and losing kind of job to do. I don't know why survey panelists aren't valued more and they need to be. Even the minimum wage doesn't pay enough to be able to make it in today's expensive economy and survey panelists get paid way less than minimum wage. I had to choose to be a survey panelist for all these years because I work from home and I just only qualified for this kind of underpaid work.

Being a Blogger / YouTube Creator
So I decided many years ago to become a blogger and YouTube creator but currently have only a few videos and I do have quite a few blog topics. I had a blog for many years (20 years) with many topics but I deleted it 2 years ago and I wanted to start fresh. My old blogs weren't as good but Google did approve them for ads you cannot cash out your earnings with Google unless you have earned $100 and so I had maybe $50 and when I deleted my blog all that was lost. 

So now I have a blog with a few topics again. I think I will do better this time. To have a blog on Blogger you have to get approved by Google to make money with ads and Google has not approved my blog yet. Even if I get approved for ads, Google does not pay a lot for having ads on my blogs. I can choose to put my own ads like for Amazon and I will do that and maybe one day Google will approve my blogs for ads so I can earn a little pocket money. I did the same thing with YouTube and I had videos that I had uploaded on there but deleted them and am starting new.

YouTube which is basically Google, does not allow ads on one's videos until a creator has 1000 subscribers. Currently, I am studying how to get that many and also there are other ways to earn on YouTube. I am learning about that from other creators on YouTube and applying that knowledge takes time of course.

My Current Work Situation
I just wanted my readers to know that currently, I am not making any money with blogging or YouTube videos. On YouTube, I have a long way to go before I can earn but there are great videos out there teaching how to achieve this goal sooner so that is what I am doing currently.  Occasionally I also still do surveys even though the pay is ridiculously low but every dollar helps. However, I have done very few surveys lately because blogging does not allow many more jobs to be done due to time constraints. I believe in always working even if you are older than you used to be because maybe my work can do some good in the world and that would be great.

How Much Money is Owed to Me

My Financial Past Mistakes So my financial past is like everyone else's in this world who is too nice and we make mistakes because we are too nice.  I will list several places/individuals whom I know owe me money. Those Who Owe Me Person 1 = $400 I loaned to this person and never got the money back even though I tried. I was trying to be nice and the person didn't care. This happened years ago. Person 2 = $400 I paid a person in advance to get materials to build a shed and the person took advantage of me and didn't do anything and didn't give me my money back. Maybe 2 years ago. Person 3 = $400 and the person said I would get my money back. It happened in 2023. No, it isn't the incident with the PayPal Sanam!!! It is something else. Thank you for being so honest Sanam. At least Christians in Pakistan are very honest. I can't mention who this person is who owes me the money but I have since discovered the person is a true narcissist. I have reported this as a cri

How to Become an Amazon Affiliate on Blogger

Introduction To Being an Affiliate This is just a short introduction on how to become an Amazon affiliate on Blogger. If you have a Google account then you have access to a free account on Blogger. This is much easier than having a website and also it is less complicated. I have tried WordPress but that blogging site, though it is popular, is very complicated to build. On the other hand, Blogger is much less complicated which makes it more fun to have. Step 1 Create a Blogger account and write 1 or 2 blogs. Make sure your content matches the products you want to be an affiliate with on Amazon. If you promote good health then write about it and then put any health product link that you like on your blog. Step 2 Go to Amazon Associates and sign up for an affiliate account. Step 3 Copy and paste the affiliate link into your blog's HTML or just post the link. If you need help tell me and I will be here to help. Every time someone sees your blog and clicks on the affiliate link then you
