Starting this is very difficult.
When I was very young, I knew I was going to do something important. I did not know what that was. It drove Me itchy often, looking at My life as it passed by and wondering what I was supposed to do with all these data I was collecting.
I also was taught that We had the technology to extract the energy We swim in, and could control gravity. I did not know about the impact of this until much later.
As time passed, and I moved into teenhood, I still had that burning in My mind, as the itch managed to get Me every so often despite the direction I strove to concentrate on. And I would step back and feel frustrated.
I followed the prescribed course of getting a job and inputting My Human energy into things that "earned" My living, but really, except for the initial learning of the duty, left Me bored to tears. EveryOne I worked with was just waiting for the weekend, as the song goes.
I went into banking, dropping out of college to get married. This, though I waited for the weekends, was a blessing. I got to observe this system of money from an angle many don't, and discovered that I almost knew the way it all worked, astounding the trainers in My General Ledger class by explaining things to those around Me when They didn't get it.
Through My 20's and into My 30's, I moved from banking to what I love to do: create graphics for Others. (And I still do graphics on request.) It was a step down in pay to get the on-the-job training, but I knew that's what I wanted to do.
And still, that itch that I struggled with all along itched.
Through Kinko's to a contract working directly with the military - which gave further perspective in the field of data I managed to collect. The contract ended in September of 2001, as priorities shifted. Out into the post-911 job market this now 40-something, slightly eccentric feminine Human.
Crazy times ensued, and so did the interweb.
In 2008 I read a book called Entropy and when Jeremy made it very clear that money and all the suffering it causes on this abundant planet was accounting for Human energy expended (I got accounting tokens for the time/energy I expended into the system of money - heh, banking, yeah), and that the solution was simply to provide free energy and ensure no One feels compelled against Their will - which meant robots. The problem always has been, at the root, how do You get People to do things They don't want to do. And I can see We have THAT well on the way.
When it all came together, I knew what that thing was, and the itch went away. In its place is a keen desire to do all I can to fulfill this.
I am also willing to do all that is within My ability to sustain Myself, and I do look at job after job. I have "agents." Every day I apply to any that I can remotely justify qualifications. I admit to avoiding the west coast.
And so this now 50's - and heading into the latter part of that decade - woman, with a solution that has been Her drive throughout Her life, and therefore even more eccentric, seeks either a job, or a patron for Her work.
Today I burden a friend. No more than $600 a month, I would guess. For His support, though He struggles, I love Him dearly. I have asked for a patron now and then on twitter, but none have stepped up.
So, if I can do it from here and it's worth $600 a month, or it's somewhere else and will "pay the bills," and I can do it, let Me know. And if My work is important to You too, and You have $600 a month to offer, I would welcome Your patronage.
i would skip applying to dod jobs atm. they are cutting everything back. they have GS 5 guys doing their normal jobs plus the jobs of paygrades above them, so they are probably not hiring anybody with alot seniority. like if you were a GS 10, for example, they'd just have the GS 10 train a GS 5 to do their job before hiring another GS 10. this is what happens when people call for cuts in military spending. people make less money, folks who earned their seniority don't get hired when their jobs are axed, and some GS 5 has twice the workload.
i'm pondering your situation, amy. gimme a few to think about it.
first suggestion
seasonal work. with christmas coming up, sometimes smaller towns will have little art fairs where people can buy hand crafted christmas goods. examples might be simple wooden houses (just a chunk of wood, cut in the shape of house with a sloped roof, painted in christmas colors that can be hung on the tree or placed underneath it or on a nearby table.
handcrafted wreaths -- go pick some evergreen branches, create wreaths with it, and add some decoration, like a bow, or just sell the wreaths as is. check the local town and see if they have any christmas events where people sell arts and crafts.
check if there are any traveling art fairs, like renaissance festivals and see when they are in the closest town and if they allow tables for crafted stuff. then get with zorgon as he has all kinds of renaissance festival connections, including people who might be able to work out an agreement for you to sell their stuff at a local fair for a commission. examples are chain mail, replica swords and daggers, robes, cloaks, gowns, that kinda thing.
if you're any good at playing a musical instrument, find out the laws regarding playing instruments on a sidewalk for donations and see if you can get hired playing it for seasonal events.
check if there are book festivals, and hawk your book at them.
offer your services as a speaker on the subject of enki, to ufo conferences, write up a presentation and a book on the subject, put your tap book next to it on your book table and mention it during your presentation, like tellinger does.
think what the worst jobs are. check if any are available,
offer your services as a nanny or companion for the elderly or baby sitter. offer your services as a pet sitter. offer to edit people's college papers for a fee.
thinking...
grow bonsai trees and sell them on ebay.
those things are worth a fortune.
paint christmas pictures on something you can find laying around in the woods, like flat smooth stones or large pieces of bark. weave baskets from twigs and branches you might find laying around on the ground.
start hydroponic decorative plants garden and sell the plants to local nurseries.
make your own scented cachets with christmas fragrances. sew little pouches, fill them with something absorbent, douse the absorbent filler with a scented christmas oil, tie it up with little ribbon, sell at christmas fairs or on ebay.
offer to house sit while people are out of town.
check out what programs are available for female entrepreneurs and start a small business of some kind.
think of a fun charitable program to create, raise funds to get it started, get it on 501 status.
check the local good will, salvation army or other second hand store, if they are hiring. in hard times, the cheaper stuff sells best so those places are probably crazy busy
learn to recognize valuable items in yard sales. shop the yard sales, pick up the stuff for cheap and resell on ebay or auction.
have yard sales filled with stuff you've picked up or created yourself, or both.
restaurants are busy at christmas. see if you can get a job working as a waitress in one of the nicer restaurants (don't accept dishwasher, cook or hostess. that's a rip off. if you're friendly and personable, you will make many tips)
check catering services and wedding planners.
events planning. there are many christmas parties and new years parties this time of year, and they need people to coordinate the required materials. offer your services in the local newspaper to do that, including arranging special things like santa visits or christmas foods like frosted christmas cookies or spice cakes that they pay for. you just get the stuff ordered and sent to their place.
do you have a car or internet phone?

If My hands could stand carving for more than a few minutes, I might go for houses - I imagine a knife suitable could be laid hands upon. Paints and brushes too, maybe. I have none. I know I love to carve but gave it up because My hands started hurting. Maybe it is different now that I'm taking MSM.

I'm unsure what the property owners would think of that, and most of said around here would require some climbing. I imagine I could get stuff to make bows, and string to bind the branches. I have none.

My biggest problem with this (and is also a problem in others) is that I have no transportation and must rely on others.
Quoteif you're any good at playing a musical instrument, find out the laws regarding playing instruments on a sidewalk for donations and see if you can get hired playing it for seasonal events.
I used to play the recorder 25-30ish years ago... I don't presently have one.

Tough to do with a kindle only pub. Here: take this flyer home and order it... Not sure how time-effective that would be...

I already have written up a presentation, in My thread, "T.A.P., You're It." I have offered it to many and have been ignored. No kindle to show My book on, either.

They all are labor-intensive. I doubt I would last long. And I'm not sure where I would check...

Reliable transportation would be a must for the first, not insurmountable... Unsure where I would advertise for the latter, maybe craigslist... And I am not sure that is something I could do very well. What would I charge? And is it steady?

Theres some folks on amazon selling first year pecan trees.direct nut planting.i bought one.find the hardiest of a breed that grows natural in your area.since your in georgia.may i reccomend paw paw.
Its not too late to get started if you can get ahold of the seeds.plant them in trays of soil.they will winter and then sprout in the spring.i would buy from you.if you keep your price low we could all hit amazon at once to get your ratings up and we could all give you five stars.
I know i want a hardy threesome of paw paws.they are almost extinct in my area.maybe we could all preorder so you know how many you will need.we together can get you rolling but i cant guarantee success.you can use the local dirt and not potting soil.just dont say so.say potting soil.or steralize the soil in a pressure cooker.
You can buy the starter trays or get them for free from landscapers.
robo's got some cool ideas
too bad about the transportation problem
also, i think zorgon offered to help you by teaching you what to do to sell and list your stuff on his store or ebay, so get back with him on that as well
what would it take to get tap you're it on amazon books?

I do not have a vehicle. I have skype, but it stopped connecting. My computer is grossly infected. I have no idea where to get the stuff for events around here (except the Wal - and I go out of My way to avoid them, and they likely don't have all I would want).

write it. if you want people to hire you for 600 dollars a month, it would probably be a good idea to come up with a list of things you CAN do. since you have vehicular, phone and physical limitations

I was diagnosed with a "rheumatological condition" akin to - but not - rheumatoid arthritis. This was back in My 20's. I have done the best I can do with diet, stretching gently, and avoiding repetitive movements of My joints, or great strain on them for more than a few seconds.
The MSM which I have been on just a few months does help, but after these years of damage, I am not one to chop wood or sweeping hallways, for that matter.
Still not clear here on the amazon thing... "T.A.P., You're It" is an outline of a presentation that no One seems to want Me to do. TAP is My book, acro for The Abundance Paradigm. Which are We talking about?
Also, just know, I have no bank accounts, no credit cards, no paypal, no nothing. Not sure how that would work.

Write, and create raster graphics, and edit video. No cam, so no making vids, and if they're large, I might not have a system that can handle it.
I went out and found a bunch of telecommute jobs but They either expect You to pay Them for materials and then You have to sell the product, or require a monthly fee to apply.
Occasionally I have found telecommute jobs that require Illustrator and or InDesign along with Photoshop (of which I have a truncated version), but so far nothing that I can just apply for and do and get My accounting tokens.
well Amy
i am not sure of your age..not that age is considered
but with all of your listed physical problems i think you should try to apply for ssi.. it was made for folks like you who can't work because of those types of problems
here's their link
http://www.ssa.gov/pgm/ssi.htm
edit to correct the link info
it seems that any and all suggestions are turned down by you with one excuse or another..that doesn't sound very much like wanting to work to me
but if you hafta sit to work there are tons of jobs that will put you in front of a computer
..call centers for tv channels
hot lines for organizations that help others also hire the handicapped as part of their programs
if transport is a problem you may have to get a place closer to a work situation
you also have a very good line of bs..opps i mean gab.. so perhaps selling something would be right up your alley.
or working on a political campaign for someone..that is if you can expose their views and not yours for the phone calls
it sounds harsh but it seems to me you have found your own way to get free energy
what have you offered in exchange for your keep..maybe that would be a good job chioce
i do wish you the very best of luck in finding something
unfortunately for you
we are still into exchange on this planet..be it money or barter
so wishing/dreaming and/or just talking about your fantasy isn't going to get you very far for now

Other than on kindle? It's already there on kindle. In print? I think for self-pub, it's minimum $600 - or could be more now - and that is basic. For any support I think packages went as high as $3,000.
I advertised the heck out of the book I published with My ex. Never saw a penny, and He says He got very little.
Also, all money I have is in My friend's wallet, if You catch My drift. I have none personally to put IN an account.

I did try and get SSI, more than once. Every time I did, and My SED rates came back normal (something the head of rheumatology at Kaiser at the time told Me is rare but not unheard of) I was "faking it." I tried to convince Them of what the head guy had said, but none of it.
My brother was registered in some site for doing work in design, but I don't remember the site's name. There are also some of those sites for programmers (something like "rent-a-coder"), and Flash is still used by many sites.
Also, you know how to write and you do it well (despite those capital letters in strange places :P ), so you could look for work related to writing.
Edit: Here's (http://www.rent-acoder.com) a link. :)
Edit 2: it looks like they have a fee that must be paid as soon as the person gets a job, so they have to pay before getting the money (at least that's how I understand it). :(
so if it's on kindle, does amazon allow you to sell kindle books?
all the alternative radio stations would be interested in your book. so you would:
1. set up a credit union account
2. set up a pay pal account
3. set up website with link to pay pal to purchase your book, however that kindle thing works. write a summary of your book and post it on your website as well
4. surf the web for alternative radio shows . email them with a brief introduction of yourself and brief about book, with a few talking points and a link to your website where the description and pay pal link is.
5. arrange your calendar so you don't lose track of when you are supposed to be on the show in question.
6. start your own blog radio show. make a few pertinent recordings as presentations.
7. advertise, advertise advertise. your time is worth money just like anyone else's. don't live in misery if you can help it

I don't have Flash anymore... And I guess I could write. I have looked at places, and applied for plenty of writer jobs. Like You point out, though, for freelance stuff, money for the finder service is an issue.
sky, I thought the stuff under the SSI was copy paste from the site. I see now it was more of Your words.
First, I have logistical issues, not "excuses." Just so You know.
I have contacted call centers (despite HATING the telephone) and every one said They weren't hiring. I can keep trying...
As for sales... I LOATH sales, but could sell something. I suppose.
And there is NO candidate that I support. In any way. And here in the backwaters... And They usually have volunteers.
I do graphics on demand.
And time spent not spreading the ideas is that much slower before We are all considering them. Just a fact.

I tried to get Coast to Coast interested. Nil. But I will look for alt radio stations... I guess, start a blog radio... Where? I though I had to pay to have a webshow.
Amy,
Here are just a few thoughts;
Pursue anything and everything that others
show an interest in.
You did well on the radio, I listened to you. :)
You have a nice voice, nice expression, use this
to your advantage in every way. A resume
is a piece of paper in a large stack, its hard
to make an impression. But a voice is
another thing altogether.
Another idea would be to take your idea of
TAP, and start making graphics for it, then
make sure where ever your TAP promotions
are there are visuals.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
One other idea, is there potential for you
to turn TAP into a futuristic game, or
a book? If so, develop your characters
to play into a fictional scenariio, develop
a story line to go with them that can
be worked into a series, perhaps a book
or a video game?
Work on graphics that could go with
either....
Just a few ideas, sorry I dont have more
to offer - one more thing it seems you like
to do online research; have you tried
contacting an agency that does
information brokering, or SEO promotions?

It's already ON amazon. I "advertise" in signatures, in emails, on twitter, and so on. When sales are high enough I will get a royalty check.
In fact, I just had a "special" - 70% off - and tweeted it like a madperson. As far as I can tell, I did not get enough sales to get it over the threshold of "earnings" to get a check even with that.
do they allow you to list it on other book sites as well? if so, i would do so. find alternative book sellers. inquire. but foremost, you have to get the word out on radio shows that are popular and have a following. do artworks of how you envision the future abundance paradigm and put them on your book's website, between paragraphs. i'd bug the crap out of coast to coast to get on there.
enki is a very popular topic with many people, not just sitchinites. it might help to generate interest in your abundance paradigm, to write a book about enki to bring in traffic. that way you could do the radio programs for one book, then the other. start with the enki book, then 6 months later, the abundance book. who was he. what did he do. would he approve or disapprove of the abundance paradigm and why. etc
do a book series on the anunnaki, like sitchin did.
this guy is doing a series on various old testament characters (just linking this so you can see how he is promoting the books. covers are real important)
http://vftb.net/?p=4979
so maybe you could do a book of enlil
and one on enki.
and one on inanna
and one on marduk
and one on anu.
for example. would be fun. cover designs could be real interesting.
maybe call the series:
the gods: enki
the gods: enlil
the gods: anu
for example. then have some really nice cover art. promote promote promote. advertise advertise advertise. hehe
enki of the pleaides
Lore Lords: Enki
erm.
thinking some more...
crap i forgot about amazon having a minimum sales before they let you have your own sales
i'd skip linking it to amazon when you do the radio circuit and do the pay pal thing where the book is on your server but not directly linked to it from the website, only from pay pal once the person buys the book.
If I may ......
Forget Amazon and Kindle and all that crap ..... some books are meant to be a printed item that can be held with the hands and read at leisure ... a printed book can be referred to .. and passed around .. re-read and digested.
E-books are disposable and do not carry the same gravitas as a written book.
In my humble opinion Amaterasu .... you should print 100 rough copies of your book together with some Illustrations and cover designs .... send these copies to all the known publishers of such material and also to other writers.
At the very least you will get some guidance and feedback.
I would forget Amazon .... unless you are already a best seller your book will drown in an ocean of other books ... you need to get noticed.
Getting noticed is achieved by arousing the interest of the publishers and writers who are established in the field.
You have nothing to lose but the price of paper and postage.
C..

Unknown... I think Amazon has exclusive rights to kindle books. Since there is no layout (and thus why I published kindle), They and I split royalties, and though I could list it other places, They won't get any money unless I pay for the listing.
And after One bugs the sh1t out of someOne or some place for a certain length of time, it becomes clear that further effort represents time better spent bugging someOne else. Believe Me, it be came clear C2C was NOT interested. I suspect They too are gatekeepers. Talk about the problems and horrors, and ensure solutions are never passed on.

I really know little about Enki except what I read in The Terra Papers. And I doubt I could write a book. Really, I am not that good with research, and would have not much I can say. I will contact radio programs. Of course, I have already contacted People like James Corbett of the Corbett Report, Red Ice Radio... So far, no luck.

E-books are disposable and do not carry the same gravitas as a written book.
In my humble opinion Amaterasu .... you should print 100 rough copies of your book together with some Illustrations and cover designs .... send these copies to all the known publishers of such material and also to other writers.
At the very least you will get some guidance and feedback.
I would forget Amazon .... unless you are already a best seller your book will drown in an ocean of other books ... you need to get noticed.
Getting noticed is achieved by arousing the interest of the publishers and writers who are established in the field.
You have nothing to lose but the price of paper and postage.
C..
One of the things that has kept Me from publishing in paper is I could not afford to print it out and postage to send a hard copy to the big houses - who seem to want the hard copy. Not sure where I would get the money to print it out...
I did submit a revised edition of the novella only to Analog. They still have it open (not rejected) last I checked (a few days ago) but it's been in for over a month. I guess it's a good thing They still have it for consideration...
I found another site, Elance (https://www.elance.com/q/find-work).
In this one it looks like they only charge after the client makes the payment. :)
Where I live I can get a book bound for about 10 us bucks if I print the pages and give them to them.
kINDLE.... there is littel money to be made on that as they sell for cheap You would need lots of copies
The old way to publish You contract a publisher but you make NO money until the publisher gets paid back for the first run. A friend in France has a book out but needs to see 500 copies before he starts getting paid. ( I plan to sell some for him but they are not cheap... likely be 90.00ish) Well worth it though :D
So online self publishing IS a way to go and spam FB Twitter etc with it
Years ago I was told that the FASTEST way to make money is publishing small pamphlet style books 20 pages or so an 8.5x11 page folded in half with a semi hard cover.
These print out cheap. You then buy small ads in magazines related to your material Book sells for say 5.95ish and you can get a local print shop like OfficeMax to run off 10 at a time They don't need a printing press so are cheap to print coalate and staple Cost is usually around $1.00 to $1.50
Something like this

I have the rights to one on Gold Panning I just never got into reprint yet. That one would be listed in rock hounding mags for a small fee All you need to know in a small handbook you can stuff in your pocket
Two emails I got recently I felt should be shared with ALL. The first is on sellingQuoteso what was the way you were going to show amy to make money on ebay?
Glad you asked :D
Anything and everything... THAT is my point
BTS has been going to yard sales and church sales... She just found a Forestal diary for 45 cents that is worth $450.00
A member whishing to remain anonymous (but is free to fess up :P) just sent me four pieces of jewelry I listed at Etsy and already have 6 likes on it on Facebook

My daughter is buying video games at the pawn shop and yard sales for $3-5.00 and selling them after testing for $25-40.00 She buys stuff at Kmart clearance using her 10% discount... just sold a hat for $10.00 today and a Sonic shirt for $15.00 yesterday... she paid .99 cents for each brand new minus her discount AND anything she buys goes onto her points card LOL A leather jacket she got at yard sale for $3.00 sold for $45.00 in just three days
My sister in Canada was in serious trouble 2 years ago when her hubby lost work and she has our mom living in the basement apt. She now buys fur coats and high end glassware at yard sales church sales and thrift stores, etc. She never pays more than $50.00 but sells them for $200-300.00 She has all her bills paid now and takes her family for two weeks to Puerto Rico annually.
I myself had nothing left in the bank last January now back up to $3K float, bills paid, newer car and $6K line of credit ($3K at bank based on daily deposits from ebay etsy amazon etc) $500.00 at paypal bill me later and $2700.00 at Kabbage (an ebay line of credit) So I will soon be able to return the favor of those that lent me a hand ;)
Sure I am an expert now... and I know what has value when I see it. But i can share this knowledge and it is easy to learn if you can use GOOGLE :P Sure I have some good stuff I found over the years...But as a test I sold a handful of old rusty wood screws removed form trash furniture on Etsy for $7.85 as Vintage Screws for the wood repair guy (they sold 6hrs after posting) and drawer handles from old dressers tossed in the trash fetch $8-9.00 a pair !!!
Wanna see some crazy?
Wine Bottle Wind Chimes (https://www.etsy.com/search?q=wine%20bottle%20wind%20chimes&order=most_relevant&view_type=gallery&ship_to=US) Anyone can make these
Thor cuts trees for a living removes debris from disaster zones. He showed us the big trees he cuts and scraps. I told him he was an idiot :P In 5 minutes I sent him a link to 1) A company that buys white oak logs for barrel staves 2) A firewood company that will buy and pick up pallets of cut hardwood and 3) cut those huge stumps he showed us into table top slabs worth 300ish each unfinished. Will they sell? dunno but worth a try :D I saw the pictures of the table slabs :D At least he listened :D
There is money everywhere. Look for Disney stuff... Toys, Xmas Ornaments etc... Last year I bought a bunch at $1.00 each from a yard sale.... I had a broken set of Snow White and the Dwarfs 2 missing one... chip on ear. Paid $1.00 for a wooden wine bottle box with the 6 figurines in it. Sold Snow White for $14.95 and the 5 dwarfs for $9.99 each within 3 days of posting on Ebay
Example just today... Had this listed for $12.95.. paid $1.00 Guy offered $10.00 for it but it cost him $19.50 shipping to UK
http://www.ebay.com/itm/111233119301
So the yard sale guy makes $1.oo I make $9.00 ($8.00 profit on $1.00 spent) Ebay gets @1.00 and Paypal gets 45.cents. The post office and international broker get a share of the $19.00 shipping :D
Amazing huh?
:o
::)
The other one was from Amy
So I figure I will answer this for all so my position on this is clearQuote from: Amaterasu on December 11, 2013, 03:49:46 PM
And I say BS. IF They have access to things, maybe, but I can assure You that the children dying of starvation have NOTHING. No food, little water, even, no access to "stuff" to somehow sell to nonexistant customers.
And I do not see barely scraping by as somehow having abundance.
And what has filth to do with anything??
A LOT even animals don't foul their own den... but you have set your mind against understanding that a vast majority of humans just don't give a dam. If they are living in such conditions, WHY would you have more babies to bring into a world where you KNOW they will die of starvation? How does that make any sense at all? WHY would a farmer that has his crops dying because of old fashioned techniques and cannot feed his own people turn his nose up at you when you offer a SOLUTION... one that has worked and does work (soil rotation) that WILL provide abundance? WHY would I want to endlessly send those people food if they REFUSE to help themselves when shown how?
QuoteAnd if it was so easy, We all would be living richly. What would happen if One shared an avenue? Soon that avenue would be choked, and at best only a few would manage any kind of abundance with the competition for what little there is to "make a living" (WHY should We have to EARN Our place on a planet We were BORN to?).
You and Your penny. And if it was so easy, We all would be living richly.
ETA for context ONE PENNY doubled everyday for a month = $5,368,709.12
It IS easy... but it requires EFFORT and WORK. By the same method that YOU are expecting TAP to materialize... it works the same way the Law of Attraction, Think and grow Rich... Ask and Ye Shall receive... its all the SAME THING doesn't matter WHAT the goal is... money... food... health... You have to focus on it and take steps as they come up to make it happen.
I have already turned around my situation in under a year... I have already helped two family members do the same and have FUN doing it... I have already helped three forum members so the same thing and they are having fun at it.
I am but one man... and not so good on health or wealth at this point I cannot save the world in the time I have left... But if I can save 10 people who in turn can save 10 more I have done more than most... and I am satisfied with that
But I can and will take it one step further.. I have found a way that I can create abundance for many... and generate MILLIONS by a mere thought (and audacious idea) But that is top secret and has yet to pan out)
QuoteWhat would happen if One shared an avenue? Soon that avenue would be choked, and at best only a few would manage any kind of abundance with the competition for what little there is to "make a living".
How do you KNOW what will happen if you open an avenue? Until you TRY? Is it not better to help 10 live a better life than do NOTHING?
Quote(WHY should We have to EARN Our place on a planet We were BORN to?)
Because that is the way life works... survival of the fittest. That is the nature of things. If you are non religious then you have to recognize that we are animals and part of the natural order of things. We are smarter than most animals, but not necessarily the smartest and if Dinosaurs were still around we wouldn't be at the top of the food chain either :P Eat or be Eaten... that is the Law of Planet Earth
QuoteYou and Your penny. If it was so easy to double it every day, again, We'd all be rich.
That is a Metaphor.... an example in principle... but I will tell you this... the amount of effort needed to make 1 million from 100,000 is the SAME effort needed to make 100,000 from 10,000 and is the SAME effort needed to make 10,000 from 1,000 and is the SAME effort needed to make 1,000 from 100 and is the SAME effort needed to make 100 from 10
YOU won't believe it... that is your choice... but if you refuse to make the effort or learn the rules, that too is your choice
QuoteWHY are You so bent on maintaining a system that promotes the most ruthless and psychopathic, that demands People "earn" Their place on the planet They were born to, that allows some to die of starvation when there is plenty of food on the planet being produced, that passes "laws" to generate income, that promotes materialism, consumerism, planned obsolescence, and psychopathic "solutions" (like chemical spraying/profiteering, GMO food control/profiteering, pharma profiteering, war profiteering, medical profiteering, water profiteering, air profiteering.
because I am old and the system works for me.... I have stepped outside their box and make my own path. To do that I do have to abide by a few of their laws to be sure but even TAP has laws :P That is the price you pay.
You say you want to see TAP and a better world for all, yet I see most of your time devoted to talking about and giving life to the evil cabal and their issues.
I step outside and from where I stand it doesn't look as bad as the gloom and doom crowd make you think it is...
Construction is statring to boom here again... people are decorating more this year for the holidays... life is good again. Daughter signed up for Obama care under Nevada Health... she is a student living at home making 400-500 a month part time. She got food stamps (86.00 a month recommended by the Health people. took her 15 minutes to apply) and her health care payment will be ZERO. So whether or not Obama care is bad or good or indifferent... I will not snub my nose at it at this point
QuoteWhy are You so attached to this system?
Because I cannot change it in my lifetime... but within this system. by learning THEIR RULES and USING THEIR OWN SYSTEM... I CAN help many many people... And that to me has more value than some Utopian dream that I do not believe will stand a chance in Hades of making it
I believe STRONGLY in the Laws of Karma I KNOW for a FACT that there is life after death and there is reincarnation... based on that FIRM KNOWLEDGE I lead my life accordingly. By helping 10 or more people I put good karma into the bank. As such I am also a 100% believer that we are here on THIS planet to learn the HARD lessons of life to build character for our souls or 'life force' for our future.
So for me to support a system that promotes laziness and lethargy would be going against my religion as it were.
Hope that explains it. You will find MANY on Pegasus follow the Buddhist ideals (if not the religion) Even several Christians that I know of :D though they won't admit it :D

I had signed up with them a few years ago - did not find jobs I could do, and I suck at bidding, anyway. But I just tried to log on - even had Them send My user name to Me. I keep getting this message:
Your user account is no longer active. Please contact your Account Owner for more details.I tried to find a contact email, but can only find a phone number. Will call tomorrow. Maybe I'll do better this time if I can actually get back on.
Thanks for reminding Me of that.

Where I live I can get a book bound for about 10 us bucks if I print the pages and give them to them.
I didn't have the money to print. I just got a printer and now can print the 178 pages (less single space), but if I want a publishing house to see it, I also need to send it out - and that is one set of 178 pages per publishing house. Don't think there's anywhere local that could bind a book, and $10 a pop for 100 copies is $1000. Just for binding.
And that is presuming it is not more here.
I would LOVE to shop yard sales. But:
1) I have no money to give for even a 99 cent purchase.
2) I have no transportation to go mucking about at yard sales
3) I do not have the best "eye" for things that are worth anything.
I would be the one selling the $400 items 3 for $5 if I had anything to sell.
So... Yeah, it's easy of You have money to start with, the ability to GET anywhere, and had a clue on the value of things.
i don't know what it's like now, but 30 years ago, publisher's wanted outlines,summaries with chapter titles page, rather than the whole book, so they could review it and it's not easy getting published. now days, you could probably just link the kindle lol
i was thinking, if you present the abundance paradigm with a futuristic approach and not just the underlying communism theme, you would likely glean more interest in it simply because people like all that space stuff. have a snappy intro like "in the future, robots will do the work, while we live our dreams" or something like that.. you could even include a preface about the moral question regarding the enslavement of artificial intelligence.
hey
i suggested two publishers a while back and even got the links for her..pff..not what she wanted to hear
let's face it
amy wants a sugar daddy/ scratch that.. a patron...someone to fund her.. which means keep her
she really doesn't want to work..there is nothing but excuse after excuse on here
Z has explained it more than once..she doesn't hear it
sorry i'm tired of hearing it too..
now butting out
good luck amy but i don't see ya trying very hard...
like they say in texas..big hat - no cattle
i don't think it's because she doesn't want to, i think life has beaten the crap out of her and it's just going take some family like boosting up *(which may or may not include fussing hehe) to get her started on the right track for her. now i think from reviewing her answers, that she really does want to get her book going. it's just gonna take some brain work to get it off the ground. i think putting it on amazon was probably a bad choice. now that i recall that they basically steal all your sales lol
take the book off amazon and relist it as a slightly used digital copy on the resale side of amazon. hehe

When I was looking for publishers, all the houses said: send Your manuscript, double-spaced, to [street address]. I was hoping for an online submission form - Analog changed over to online forms about a year ago...that's why I sent it to Them. (Checked again today; My submission is still open and pending... And it's actually been three months since I sent it. They say 3-4 months, so I'm still hanging on that.)

There is no communism theme... BIG difference between "From Each according to ability; to Each according to need," and "From Each according to gifts; to Each according to request." This is abundancism, NOT a scarcity paradigm solution like communism or socialism or capitalism.
Are You suggesting another book?
do you have another book in ya? i know when i have a book in my head, and when i don't. and even then it can be an uphill battle. i have a very short attention span when it comes to tedious things. detail is good but not boring detail

I am very good at writing short pieces - and the novella alone took three months plus to write - and I did virtually nothing else. But, no, I really don't have another book inside.
Hoping another will come along.
sometimes it pours when it rains and sometimes it floods when it rains and pours and sometimes there's a dang hurricane and a few tornadoes tossed in to boot..
when z lost his job, at the same time, his wife did as well. they were subsisting on very little money. his body was falling apart AND that's when his car broke down. his wife couldn't look for a job cause they had no vehicle
you have the same streak going on. poor health, no vehicle, no job offers, no phone and no money.
i think reviewing what items are good sellers for auction houses like etsy, might be a really good option for you as a supplemental . you can research it all from your comp then surf ebay and see if someone has any of the items listed for cheap.
either way, you're gonna need a credit union account so you can actual benefit from the sales of your book. amazon ripped ya off, as far as i'm concerned

you're working on YOUR fantasy Amy..
but you'reNOTt working with the program now in progress
to change ANY program to a new paradiam you have to work with the existing system
in order to create a new one
with your tech skills you should have already realized this
that you think you are working your fingers to the bone suggests you are not aware
of how things are made to happen
and your claims of the number of jobs applied for makes me question your math skills on more than one level
70000..at 10 a day that would still take you 19+ years
and i have a hard time believing you could find that many jobs TO apply for on line or otherwise
so sorry
you haven't changed my opinion
even so.. good luck to you.
but i think you need to come back to the real world before going to live in your dream world
sorry to keep spamming your thread but new thoughts keep popping into my head on how to solve this dilemma
i'm really good at getting a website up on the first page of a search engine. usually not at the top, but i can get it on first page usually.
if you would like, i will create you a webpage for your book, for the pay pal thing, and then go get it linked everywhere. i just need to know the address you would like it to be at
and you'll need to get a credit union and pay pal account. so we can get this thing rolling
Quote from: undo11 on December 12, 2013, 04:39:48 AM
can you make voice recordings? do you have headphones with a mic?
Since Thor gave Me the headset, I might presume so. Only had it a couple of months and been reading the board in between spurts of job applications as My "agents" report in to My email. And tweeting things like links to My work here, bringing traffic. (The End of Entropy has had about 25,000 reads...) And z's etsy account, which I got picked up by one of the paper.li sites the day I started the tweeting of it.
I don't think I have been useless. Thor has a number of the graphics He uses here, and I am working on Deuem, the book. [
Deuem, would truly appreciate an outline. I'm better holding it all in My mind with something to visualize to add onto.] I need to get a pic of the cover I am working on, and had hoped to use skype, but as I mentioned, it just sits and cranks for five minutes, ten, maybe 17 was when I finally gave up and closed it down to reduce strain on My humble system one time.
So. I will be photobucketing
Yeah. I need to see what, if any recording software is on My computer and put a presentation together that way alone - with graphics but no Me...but I really want to speak before an audience and be taped, from several angles ideally. It doesn't have to be big, but I want My presence in vid if I can get it.
Yeah, little time for other stuff if I put the presentation together in audio only. Is that what I should be doing? Or should I press on doing what I can do in re the above contributions with expectation of things coming together as I see them in My head?
oh i was thinking on your book's website that i was hoping to create for you, that i could have a smattering of recordings of you, such as past radio interviews and what not. even if we have to link to them remotely and you could make a little recording blog, where you can record your latest thoughts on the subject. the longer you can keep a person on your site, listening to things, watching things and clicking links, the better
oh and i want to show you the most frustrating but most effective online sales technique ever. i mean this thing will just drive you bonkers. what they do is they word the advertisement in such a way that it draws your attention. then they ask you to watch a video "that explains it all" and they say things like "you will be so shocked" and "this is what the government is hiding from people" and "how to stick it to your utility company" and so on and so on. it's usually voiced by some professional, who draws pictures on a white board while he's talking.
now i'm not say you should do this cause it pisses people off, even if it does manage to sell the products its hyping. but this is just an example of where, even the simplest presentation, done wisely, can be successful

Pffft. 4-6 hours a day applying to jobs, for nearly a decade.... Yeah. Not trying at all.
Average at 5 hours a day 10 years gives me 18,250 hours of time. Ok, lets say this is true, then what is everyone telling you? 70,000 resumes, What are people telling you? I mean how many jobs are there in your market and how many artists? If there are 75,000 graphic Artists in the USA, then you have 5,001 more resumes to go. At that point the only choice should be you.
These numbers are very hard to understand. Do you have an actual log book of the places you sent to? I would like to spend a month to look at them all.
Deuem
ETA: I wonder what the 70,000 resumes looked like that got those jobs. Is/was there ever a place wher all of the resumes for one job were all posted so you could see them?
Did you ever confirm with the 70K that they indeed got your papers? An if they would tell you why you did not get the job. How many of these if any are knocks on a door?
I cannot answer most of Your questions, Deuem. And I have seen MANY resumes; Mine both fits in and stands out.
Virtually all the places on the web don't offer contact numbers and many say "No calls." A fair few have the company listed as "confidential." Some I have tried to contact, but after the first year or so, and getting no real data, I decided that was a waste of time and phone minutes.
I would say I get a very small number of responses in the form of calls. Maybe several hundred calls, and a very small number of in person interviews (mostly the local jobs I applied to back in Ithaca and other places I lived).
No, I have not kept a long list of these. I have a folder on My email where I place all the automatic "Thanks, We received Your resume" emails I get. But I have cleaned it out now and again.
amy
so do you want me to build that website for ya?
can you find out where the closest credit union is and see how much you will need to open a checking and savings there? have you found out what the requirements are for pay pal? need any help with this part?
I had posted this several pages ago, although it looks
like instead of quoting Amy, I goofed and edited.
http://www.thelivingmoon.com/forum/index.php?topic=5807.msg80594#msg80594
Sorry girl, and here ya go in case it got lost
in the jumble.
Amy,
Here are just a few thoughts;
Pursue anything and everything that others
show an interest in.
You did well on the radio, I listened to you.
You have a nice voice, nice expression, use this
to your advantage in every way. A resume
is a piece of paper in a large stack, its hard
to make an impression. But a voice is
another thing altogether.
Another idea would be to take your idea of
TAP, and start making graphics for it, then
make sure where ever your TAP promotions
are there are visuals.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
One other idea, is there potential for you
to turn TAP into a futuristic game, or
a book? If so, develop your characters
to play into a fictional scenariio, develop
a story line to go with them that can
be worked into a series, perhaps a book
or a video game?
Work on graphics that could go with
either....
Just a few ideas, sorry I dont have more
to offer - one more thing it seems you like
to do online research; have you tried
contacting an agency that does
information brokering, or SEO promotions?
There is one credit union, Navy Federal, and it requires a minimum of $5 to open an account.
If You are moved to create a site for Me, Beth, that would be very much appreciated!
Paypal needs an account number I think, didn't go that far with that.
Thanks, BTS. Not sure about a game... Have to think on it.
As for graphics, yeah, I suppose I can. Really not sure WHAT I would put in - it is so much a framework and not a specific manifestation.

yeah well you would need to do both of those things in order to 1) get your book sales going directly to you instead of amazon. i have my ebooks in html format. you don't need to have your book in kindle. the book can be made into a website with pages, that the person just reads and pages thru. i have software that can add a simple password, if i recall. so the person can't read it unless they know the password. i'll check on that password thing.
2) without the credit union account, i don't think pay pal would be able to pay you for your book sales.

your math skills on more than one level
70000..at 10 a day that would still take you 19+ years
and i have a hard time believing you could find that many jobs TO apply for on line or otherwise
so sorry
you haven't changed my opinion
On Monster alone, I can find 50-150 suitable jobs per day. Applying is quick and easy for most. There have been days I have applied to over 100 jobs. So...
If I applied for jobs 360 days a year, and only 50 per day, for 10 years... That's 180,000 jobs.
Just saying.

I am sure We can get it together. Will see about getting an account.
here's the link to the zip file containing the book software.

i can put your book in it, if you send me a copy but you will need to set the password, not sure if you can change that after the book is created, however. worth a shot to see if you can.
i would create it, then send it to you to have you determine what password to give it.
p.s. i'm on skype
skype handle is beth.vegh

My trial of WinZip has expired. Not sure how I can open that. But be that as it may, what would the password be used for? To give to payers for access?

Greetings:
I did have this discussion set up in a 'back room', just for that very reason.
That back room is available to Admin/Mods/invited Members only.
Deuem, sky and
Amy are the invited guests, as it were. :P
Let's find our Member AmaterasuSolar a job... (http://www.thelivingmoon.com/forum/index.php?topic=5798.0;topicseen)
I had asked for all traffic to be routed here,
in the public forum, so other Members could participate
and the fact that Amy wanted it out in the open, obviously. ;).
You guys call it...I'm just trying to help. :P
If you stop posting in this thread, eventually, it will fall off the front page recent posts...:P

Just emailed you a version of zip. 7Zip. It should be able to open that file. It is what I use and is virus clean for me.

Looks like we have another happy Skype camper. ArMaP on Skype ? Ok buddy step up to the mic.
I will just warn everyone. Do not accept any invites from people you don't know. If you get an invite make sure who it is and check with then first. Many people use different names there. On a cold call I reject and also block them.
