I’m a not a big fat zero. I’m a NEGATIVE!

I’ve taken the plunge and quit my job a few months ago.

Unlike other success stories, this one unfortunately is not :( . Make money online. Sheesh !! What was I thinking!!

I pretty much regret my decision now as Google’s recent penalizing exercise has resulted in 4 of my money making blogs being relagated to PR 0. Since most of my money came from paid post, this was a severe blow to my online income. That’s a bad decision on my part to rely too much on one source of income. Lesson learnt.

It’s gotten so bad that I’m now in credit card debt. I’ve been borrowing cash from my credit card and have been in denial. I keep thinking I will make it. I will change the situation I’m in. However, I must face to the fact that it’s going to be hard and I have to brave and humble enough to take up menial jobs to make ends meet.

I owe my credit card company 5533.00 which I will have to pay back. I’m not ashamed of owning up to failure so that in future when I get out of debt I can see how bad things were and how I got through it.

Initially, the plan was to document my successes online on this blog. I have to swallow my pride and now blog about my struggles to survive after quitting my job and trying to earn online.

    If you are living in US or Canada there are plenty of other options available for you. If not you are pretty much limited to paid posts. Good luck in your journey in reducing your debt :) .

    Thanks Nishadha. I’m looking for other avenues besides paid post too.

    Hang in there. I am sure you will pull through. Good point about not putting all eggs in one basket.
