Trying to make a living from Blogging and self publication is a struggle. Across social media and skimming past various sponsored posts belonging to others is envious; some of us may have found ourselves in a rut questioning ‘why can’t I be successful too?’ For the most part, in my thought processes as least, earning money isn’t the most important aspect: I want people to engage with whichever topic I chose to discuss as it’s helping with my mental health. However, having an income is a hurdle in my life right now and I don’t deserve sympathy, I put myself in this situation when opting to live abroad.
Other than writing I have no special skills or talent to create art in exchange for donations, although would it be to much to ask if you would kindly buy me a coffee or tea over at http://www.paypal.me/EmmaM95 (I’m aware that this link doesn’t work via this post, but it works when put into a search engine). Anyone who donates anything, no matter how small, I will mention you on my blog as well as Twitter as a token of my gratitute.
I feel awful, like I’m begging, but I love to support other writers and creators so maybe I deserve some recognition once in a while, right?
I don’t know why it’s giving a hard time but whatever and it posted several times sorry I Musta hit the button

If you ever figure out how to do this and get paid let me know if I figure it out I’ll let you know. I’ve asked several different people and have gotten nothing but the runaround so I feel ya. I personally prefer to write about something I’m passionate about, something about myself that is true, about another person a place or a review. Never give up !

A lot of bloggers I know use Ko-Fi instead of paypal. Of course if paypal works for you, keep it!! I just wanted to let you know that Ko-Fi is very popular amongst bloggers. 🙂 I’m not too sure how it works though. Best of luck, Em!!

Brief but great and straight forward. I believe when it comes to helping other bloggers it doesn’t have to be doing a big task for it to be significant. Something as small as liking or sharing their post can go some way.
P.S. I donated to your paypal account (via DoctorJohn). I hope you’ve had a nice day 🙂

Exactly, and some bloggers take their privileges for granted and act like helping small or new bloggers/writers is beneath them. If I knew someone needed help and had contacts for aiding them to earning a living I would do everything to assist…but some people will be self-centred. Just got to accept that.
