Making Money While Sitting On My Ass

Disability services here are a joke. After a year of fighting with them, I gave up. I had no desire to hire a lawyer and engage in some court drama of epic proportions for a hundred or so bucks a month. It just wasn't worth it.

So that begs the question: what does a gimp in the middle of nowhere do for money?

I, like so many others, have turned to the internet. As you can see by the adverts on the side of my blog, I am whoring myself to the great god of Google. Not that the great god of Google favors me much. I imagine in a year or so I should see a check. Not that this surprises me. Who really clicks those ads?

I also whore myself out to Mylot. A massive forum of whackiness and insanity, full of every flavor of humanity to ever crawl the surface of this earth. From blithering idiots to erudite intellectuals, you'll find them all posting and chatting for a few bucks a day. But it pays off, I make about fifty extra dollars a month there. And here's where I whore myself to you: http://www.mylot.com/?ref=misskatonic . As with everything, I get rewards for referrals. It's like some great pyramid scheme that actually works. Who would have thought?

Agloco is something I'm also looking into. Paid for surfing the net? I'm constantly online, so I may as well. It goes live later this month, and I am waiting with bated breath. Only not, I'll most likely have forgotten all about it by that point. I have the attention span of a brain damaged gnat.

Only in this day and age can we possibly be paid for being lazy sods. I will readily admit I am a lazy sod, and I have little desire to slave away at some back breaking job for minimum wage. But I figure I worked my ass off since I was fourteen years old. I can afford to be a lazy sod for a bit.

All hail the internet age!

I make a lot more (thousands as opposed to hundreds) from freelance and sponsored articles. Your writing is strong enough that you could do the same if you chose to.

So.. erm.. how, exactly, is your being creative and using your mind instead of your body being a lazy sod?? :) Finding a way to deal with the blows life gives you instead of sitting around whining and saying, "Poor me." is something to be commended. You rawk. :)

I've given you permanent Linky Love. Stop by and say hey once in awhile. Hope you don't mind what I put beside your link. LOL ;)

I'm currently in the process of selling my fiction. I've done the freelance thing and I don't seem to bring in that much - maybe I just haven't found the right market.

And I'm just being tongue-in-cheek about the lazy sod thing. Thank you! I turn my bitterness into entertainment. :D

I shall have a look, thank you!

This is better than AGLOCO. Check it out. Easy to accumulate points. Points translate into ownership in the company.
