About Selling Out

I've had a pretty mixed reaction to my posting advertorials but there seems to be a common theme to the message you`re ruining your blog/ you`re selling out/ it looks like spam! I get the message. *sweatdrop

And I suppose in a way i AM selling out - because yes i AM doing it for the money (you`d be dumb to think otherwise :P). But then again, unless you are willing to pay for my living expenses (let me assure you, you definitely are not) then well... speak now or forever hold your peace. peace? piece? peace.

People get jobs all the time and lose their souls slaving away 9 - 5 sitting at a tiny desk, slaving away for some corporation. All they have during that 9 - 5 time block is the office and the world in it. What`s different about what I do and them?

At least I am assured that I enjoy what I do, because I chose to do it. Not because I was deperately in need for the money (again, I assure you I am in not that great a need for the money), but it IS nice being independent and earning my own money (as opposed to bludging off my parents) and i found something i enjoy doing, and someone to pay me for doing it.

Heck, so maybe it`s not writing an article for the western australian or the straits times. But it`s still writing, except I actually do earn something for it!

No it is not a job. It`s sideline work, my studies still take the priority here. Up to date I'm only due to be paid $36 USD as opposed to top earners that get paid $100USD a week. Pretty nice for sideline work huh?

If you would like to say something after hearing my viewpoint..... the link to post comments is down there!
