You've got the right attitude and who knows - the medication you're taking on trial could control the cancer full time.Longside4evr wrote:the scans are every three months and the results each time are positive in the Cancer is being controlled that's what keeps my spirits up flying backwards and forwards to see the clarets, just done the Cardiff game and doing Everton and Arsenal thats happy days for me cos until i cant i will carry on doing so and just for the record did Athens just to put it out their anyone with cancer you can still have a life UTC

I say unemployed but retired for a 2nd time. First time I hated it as I had no structure to my day and got very bored very quickly. Went back to work for 6 yrs and then retired with plenty to do.Dark Cloud wrote:Been retired 18 months now, but still haven'y fully adjusted and find a lot of days hard.

Get involved in the community, whether it be local politics or charity/voluntary work. Very rewarding whilst working your own hours and getting a sense of achievement. Just don't stagnate and best of luck.

Re: What do you do for work?
I don't sell posts. I run websites and sell advertising on those sites, so the social media is used to generate most of the traffic. Fiverr is something I've lightly touched on in the past, but getting your gigs to be actually seen (on Fiverr) appears to be the difficult bit, especially without feedback - so a bit of a catch 22 situation. Do you use both the UK and USA versions of Fiverr?Claret-On-A-T-Rex wrote:I'm up to about the same, my largest single following is 500k on Pinterest but I also have 50k+ on Instagram and I own the largest "kindle book promotion" groups on Facebook.

Re: What do you do for work?
I'm on the .com version but people book from everywhere, if you have a large social media network you can use that to get an order and feedback. Once you have your first order and review then Fiverr sends people to your gig. That's pretty much all you need to register on the algorithm so you can basically sock puppet the first order and review. After it's just a steady climb and the more orders you fulfill the more they send you.FactualFrank wrote:I don't sell posts.

If you have a large following on any platform, websites or social media such as twitter, pinterest, facebook, instagram, tumblr, reddit etc then you register with an app or agency that sends people looking for exposure to you and they pay you to promote their product in a post or "shoutout".Swizzlestick wrote:On Twitter?

Genuine question as I’ve no idea.
Alternatively you can make a "gig" on a freelancer site such as Fiverr or Upwork.
That's the easy part, generating a following is the hardest bit really. The main trick is to follow then unfollow hundreds of people per day.
You need to understand the principles of seo, keywords, hashtags and such and also find a tool to automate much of the process.

Re: What do you do for work?
If you mean get people to buy an order from you and leave a positive review, the marketing forums I post on have people who do that. You give them like $6 and they'll order on Fiverr for $5 and then leave a nice review.Claret-On-A-T-Rex wrote:I'm on the .com version but people book from everywhere, if you have a large social media network you can use that to get an order and feedback.

I haven't done the following/unfollowing for a few years as I used profiles I'd built using that technique, to grow other profiles. So my main profile isn't following anybody, but grows by around 1500-2000 every day just by providing updates.Claret-On-A-T-Rex wrote:If you have a large following on any platform, websites or social media such as twitter, pinterest, facebook, instagram, tumblr, reddit etc then you register with an app or agency that sends people looking for exposure to you and they pay you to promote their product in a post or "shoutout".

Is that how you build your Intagram profile? As they seem to limit the number of people you can follow at any one time, meaning you'd need to unfollow people who did actually follow you back.
Reddit can provide a lot of traffic, and some of my articles have gone viral and ended up on there. That too can be cheated by buying 'upvotes', but that's something I need to delve more into.

Re: What do you do for work?
I'm actually looking for work having recently been fired as a bouncer from some pretentious club in Burnley. The suits the clientele would wear once were worth more than my yearly wage. Totally not my fault, I was just following rules.
The owners son, some business magnate, was showing a load of his foreign clients the club and I had to let them in one by one, shaking hands (or not, as the custom permits) with each one. I remember it clear as day; there was a japanese, a kenyan, a norwegian, a swiss, a swede, a dane, a german, a spaniard, an italian, a frenchman, a dutch lady, a belgian, a russian, an egyptian, a korean, a chinaman, a pakistani, an indian, an australian, a canadian, an american, an indonesian, a nigerian, a south african, an estonian, latvian and finnish bloke who weirdly all traveled together, a georgian, a belarussian, an israeli, the polish dude with his austrian wife, the bulgarian wrestler with his czech bodyguard, a slovak, a greek and finally an algerian millionaire.
After all this, when the son tried to get in, I wouldn't let him. 'Look', I said, 'rules is rules, you can't get in without a Thai.'
