RE: Financial Contest : How I Make Money From Home
Yes, dear friends: the advantage is you won't have a boss screaming and yelling at your shoulder, coming and going bossing you, but be prepared to at least 12 hours per day (a friend of mine did 16) in front of a screen and sleepless nights because you must finish your written jobs into the day before yesterday😂😂😂😂
Homeworkers with us have bosses yelling or those who provide you with work. No one else takes the responsibility if you fail. 🥴
I suppose in such a cases there are remote workers who work online, but they are officially hired by a company. Not the same as us working on steemit, PTP forums and cousins tasks, is it?
It feels to me that Steemit is demanding to many too. The force to do better, better than what? moderators pushing, the justyfing, editing, pressure from club to club, witnesses voices, scammers, downvoter, AI's fake info and the clock keeps ticking,and there is so much more and all that for a few bucks...or cents
There are bosses here, more than on the average working place and this counts for most online work also for you.
Everything you do today might be born out of fun but it is not if there's a need. The need to make ends meet, the stress if you know you can't.
Twelf hours or more behind a screen is a big part of your life and many invest more 15+
If no one telks or yells than the worst thing is you are the one doing this to yourself undermining your heslth, yelling at you, you have to do better.
Yesterday was my moderator day, I had a nap at daytime. 😁 Way too short but better than nothing.

I understand, dear friend, I understand, I understand...Surely, things goes this way because for most of users (maybe, especially those living in the top tier countries) this is merely a side-job. As they can count on a at least discreetly paid classic 9 to 5 job, they can even afford to work here for free. And they can spend less hours than me in front of a screen. Not the same for us whose main job is this one. In my case, it will probably be my main job until I'll finish all make-up artist courses, the only way to get a more stable activity, as in this geographic area average people is not committed with their education and worse, with their children's education. So a teacher's job suffers, especially when our subjects are foreign languages, arts and music. That's the southern-east in my current country...
For sure there are who need an income and a 9 to 5 job doesn't exist with us. My working hours started at 7:30 while school starts at 8:15 or 9:30... many of us drive over 1 hour to our job and 1 hour back and we work till 6 pm which is normal. Lunch break might be in it and isn't paid for. So we are always in a hurry, stressing, paying high amount for someone to take care of the children since we do not share a house with family and neighbours do no longer babysit. One job isn't enough not even if you earn 3000 euros per month.
What we can't figure out is how to lay hands on crypto. Many in Euro have two jobs and try to find an online job which is rarely paid well and not a trend yet although it seemed to work well for during the lockdowns.
My eldest has three if not 4 very well paid jobs and her husband has a well paid job (gave up on being entrepreneur he's a photographer) and with these very well paid incomes they can not live till the end of the month. The more you work, the more taxes, the more expenses, car, gasoline, and so on and your are always tired. I have been there with my 60-80 hours of work per week for two to three employers, next my own shelter, writing for magazines and being a single mom showing up at whatever school decided, wanted to organize and so on. For over 20 years my max of sleep was 4 hours, most times only 2. Was it worth it? No. In the end, I have only stress, I didn't spend as much time with my children as I wanted, I had no time for me to relax all it was was: work work work.
My eldest recieves a lot for free and they can not manage. I am glad I no longer have that stress. I don't care much if I don't eat, I am not a bag with bones yet, so I am good. Nothing extra, I will manage in a way and if not? Well, I guess I will ask my children to support me for a change.
The main problem for us is how to lay hands on cryptocurrencies. Binance is forbidden and many others and it is fought by the government and banks. It's the main reason why not many join and if their hands are tied.
Another reason might be that Steemit is not the most friendly place to be if it comes to Europeans. You might say: start your own community but those who are here are not around to talk to Dutch or Belgium people. Most Americans and from the UK left and went to peakd and with them the most creative, enthusiast and best writers went as well. I think you can see how small the German and Italian communities are, for some reason we are disliked or fought or whatever the reason might be although we do not share the same history, ideas, norms and values not even if we live in the same country.
Better not generalize about why people are here or saying we are Europeans since we don't feel that way and we do not support another. We are as European as Russia or the Scandinavian countries we rarely meet.
Unfortunately, online jobs are not the same as the classic offline 9 to 5 job, in terms of salary (unless there is a signed hiring agreement between a company and the employees, but in these case it's equal to the offline job in terms of responsibilities and legal matters). But the classic offline 9 to 5 job is becoming more and more a piper dream in a lot of countries. To not talk about salaries in Venezuela that became so ridiculous people can't purchase an egg. In the European countries, out of the virtuous Scandinavian governments, the aim is to fight and destroy the middle class, as it's happening since the nineties. Now, a lot of Italians in the middle class can't purchase any more meat and fish. And Latin America is following the same European trend. It looks like especially people that were born since the eighties will see the worst financial plummeting.
Ps.: hoping things will become better for your daughter. My best wishes❤️
With us it's the same. I can hardly buy meat ket alone fish for at least 40 years. Now the worst is vegan is extremely expensive too. Water, everything has extra tax. The healthy life and cheap one is only achieved by buying vitamin and mineral tablets.
Sadly, this is the trend everywhere in the world, out of the Scandinavian countries, whose economy never plummet. Hoping these platforms help you buy meat and fish 💕
Ps.: the third millennium is not a big deal. That's happen in the favelas in São Paulo:
