Whiny Journalists Go Nowhere!!!

Part 1.
"I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!"
  • I’m sick of reading whiny articles by whiny people who say there’s no money for the online journalist. You’re right, there’s not.
  • If you think a RealPeopleNewsLocal.blogspot.com is going to make you money - you’re living in a delusion. Buy a ‘.com’ domain and try your luck.
  • Think GoogleAds are going to pay your rent – they’re not. No one is going to click on a stupid GoogleAds Ad…they’re ugly and make pennies.
Let's get real. Only talented people are going get ahead online.

If you want to make money, you've got to have something tangible and unique.. like Da Beef Bucket's Monthly Mouthful - now that's quality! It's all about shameless self promotion and milking the digital cow. If you can milk it, make some fine online brie and serve it up to rich yuppies then you really got something. 

If not, you're probably not cut-out for journalism anyways, or an online market.  So you should think about working in the trades or something. It's a sink or swim world out there and not everyones dream comes true.

The best thing and aspiring online journalist can do is try their luck in the online pool. If it doesn't work out than leech onto a physical media outlet because it's what untalented writers have been doing for years. They will pay you regular wages and will one day find out how to make money online.

Part 2.

Coming soon...maybe later tonight.
