THE POSSIBLE DEATH OF MY OWN BLOG! ME Getting VOCAL!

And below that - WHY NOT CHARGE CHARITIES?

I have 2 many ideas!

THE POSSIBLE DEATH OF MY OWN BLOG!

ME Getting VOCAL!

.

Because...

.

A)

Being a social justice Warrior pays fuck all

.

B)

.

I find myself looking at the world and thinking,

"This shit"

"This shitty species"

"My own species"

"This world"

"Is not worth saving!"

.

AND

.

C)

.

I like eating!

.

.

I am slowly phasing out this blog page.

.

But I will still keep writing!

.

I am taking my 34 most commercial articles

(as opposed to best articles)

.

Out of the 450+ articles on this blog.

.

Signing onto the site called

VOCAL

https://shopping-feedback.today/

.

And putting those 34 articles on there!

.

(Bit by bit, I am going to refresh and re-edit each piece and add extra updated bits, this will take quite a long while.)

.

VOCAL? - You might have heard of them.

.

I am going try the Vocal+ $10 a month service on a month's free trial.

.

Why 34?

.

Because I am not swayed by VERY unlikely promises of the vast wealth of $500 a month.

...Any more than I believe in unicorns!

.

But if each article gets 1 cent a day.

.

34 articles will get 34 cents a day.

.

Then over 30 days I would be able to cover that 10$ expense without being out of pocket.

.

You may ask,

Why do this?

If you are not expecting to make any money from it?

.

My Answer...

I am playing the LONG GAME!

.

I am hoping the exposure will get someone somewhere to hire me as a Magazine, or Feature writer.

.

I am using VOCAL as a living CV!

(Much like my own blog at

https://www.lombot.co.uk/

already is.)

.

Do not get me wrong,

If the Advertising Revenue or PayPal Tips start pouring into the RAT LOMBOT RANT PAGE Blog site,

Then I will keep running it!

But despite getting over 6k (Sometimes as high as 8K) of hits every month.) that blog makes NO MONEY!

Never has done!

.

Once I have those base 34 articles transferred over,

I will be concentrating all my writing on Vocal and my books for Starry!

I will look at the Base 34 stats on VOCAL and write future articles for VOCAL based on the best 10 hitters and the 5 highest likes!

TO BE CLEAR!

I am not after ANY fame OR fortune!

I am NOT wanting to be a celebrity!

I am NOT wanting to be rich

(Why do I need to be rich? I do not want to go to fancy restaurants or tropical holidays!

I never want to leave my keyboard!)

.

All I want to do is make enough regular money to come off benefits and work at my keyboard full time for the equivalent of a minimum wage.

.

I am not scared of hard work or low pay.

BUT I REALLY WANT TO AVOID, AT ALL COST. MIXING WITH OTHER PEOPLE!

.

YUCK!

PEOPLE!

.

Me and “people” do not mix well!

We do not like each other

Like Water and oil, we are not suitably compatible.

AT ALL!

EVEN A BIT!

So obviously I cannot hold down a “regular job”!

.

All I want to do is Write and do Art!

.

This is the plan so far,

.

Feel free to wish me luck!

.

.

PS

My standing offer to do free writing and Art for registered charities STILL STANDS!

.

.

WHY NOT CHARGE CHARITIES?

.

I am not totally pure and innocent,

I understand certain people will charge a charity for stuff.

.

Persons who may say,

"I get paid an amount that is commencement with my experience"

.

I am fully aware that not 100% of every pound gets to every front line of every charity in the vast majority of cases!

.

But I am only responsible for My choices and actions, not other peoples!

.

So I will NEVER be charging charities for ADD space, Writing or Art!

.

The fact that people do, makes me feel sick!

.

EXAMPLE

Even if I only charged 5$ to a homeless charity for a load of work.

That a 5$ of canned food someone does not get to eat!

.

AND I REALLY HATE THOSE FUCKING PROFESSIONAL FUNDRAISERS!

.

Unless my mental health improved to such an extent that it decreased my current self-perceived level of morality!

.

.

'IF' that happened, here is a note to that potential future self!

.

"Dear Future Ross, You have become a fucking total tool!"

.

Having said that,

No valid charity registration number!

THEN

No free work!

.

.

The Fact I point bank refuse to accept the world the way it is instead of the way it should be,

Is one of the reasons I cannot hold down a so-called “Regular Job”

.
