My content has been sucking...
Some of you reading this are probably like, "Old School finally came to senses." He finally realizes that this blog is the equivalent of a dried out turd, old and smelly!
Ok. That may have been a bit harsh just now. I don't think my entire blog has been a waste. I've actually enjoyed writing and some of my posts are quite good (in this blogger's humble opinion:)
I just haven't had time. I have a million ideas, a ton of pokers in the fire if you will. All of these ideas float around my mind and bang off the walls of my brain, never to be conceptualized. I admit, I usually have an idea and then don't follow through.
Worse is when I do follow through, stick with it for but a fortnight, and then discard it assuming it was a stupid idea. The idea wasn't stupid though, I just don't stick with things long enough to make them work.
I guess that is why I'm writing this post. Even though this blogs state is in a current pile of poop, I'm going to keep writing. I will stick with this. I will not give up. Sometimes you just have to take a break from ideas, step back, and then try again with a renewed perspective.
A good example of this is J Moneys side hustle series. I pledged to start making money on Craigslist many months ago. I took the business approach and attempted to buy low, sell high, and turn a profit.
Can this approach be done. Yes! By me? Not so much;) I consider myself a good salesman...but I just wasn't willing to put in the time to study the market trends, be patient to buy the right products, and then post multiple times on CL or ebay. So I quit...
Fast forward to today. Due to a party we are having inOctober, (October came fast!), I am decluttering the basement. I figured, what the hey I'll snap a couple photos of some of this junk and throw it up on CL.
Low and behold, someone else was interested in my junk! I've already sold one item for $10.00...woo hoo! I didn't even have to make an extra trip to sell, it was on my way home from work. So I'm +10 bucks and - junk. Win win. The guy I sold to got a really good deal on a barely used tool. Win win win.
In fact, I'm probably going to sell another item this Saturday for 50.00 or whatever the guy/gal offers me within reason.
Why is the CL working for me now and not earlier. It could be a number of things. I'm not desperate anymore or trying really hard...you ever smell a desperate salesman (they smell bad). It could be that my postings have gotten better or maybe I just got lucky.
I don't really care. I making those phat stacks baby! Well, at least a little extra cash anyway.
You may ask what is your point Old School...you suckered me in here telling me your content sucked, and then you flip the script, what gives?
I don't really know. That is my point. I don't know the direction this blog is headed, I don't know the direction I'm headed, and I really don't know where I will end up.
One thing I do know is that I think I'm going to keep writing though.
I kind of like it and I hope you do to.
Dueces.
OSC out.
