Give up small money to have a big chance

-

When I built this site, I planned to get monetized from Google adsense.

At first I published fiction because I was a fiction writer, but Google rejected; it said my contents did not provide any good experience to the readers.

I hid the fiction then I published what I wanted to write and applied for a second time. This time I succeeded.

My site was monetized for a few months only. During these few months, Google asked me to change and update a lot and I followed them.

Then one day I got an email that they stopped advertising on my site without a time limit - because they found I defrauded them by clicking an ad on my own site.

It was a shock - especially when I did not do that; but there was nothing I could do.

Honestly I was angry and upset. I worked hard since there was one view a day to one hundred view a day and I got about twenty US dollars in the balance. I wanted to get that money; I tried to apply for Adsense again and again, but it rejected me all the times.

It was so sad for me. My mind was not at ease and I was trying to find the way because I didn't want to give up that money though it was a small amount and I wanted to get money from Adsense.

Until the end of 2022, I awoke. I found I was wrong to chase that twenty dollar. Because I was busy running for that amount, I lost many opportunities. I rethought and I found it was correct - there were a lot of ways to get money besides getting from Adsense.

After finding this, I decided to give up on Adsense. I tried to find my own way to earn money from this site by myself.

I've got a few ideas in my head:

1. Promote my youtube channel - I have a youtube channel talking about public administration job based on my own experience. It is Khmer language. I plan to translate the reading in the video to English. In such a way, I expect to get traffic from international viewers.

2. Sell promotion space - In one or two articles a month, I will post/link the picture of the product - which is based on Cambodia. With this method, I can get some money. Though it is not much, it gives me earning.

3. Promotion content - If it is possible, in a month, I will accept to write one or two articles about the product - if the company pays me a suitable amount.

4. Promote and sell my own product - Since I have my online business, selling PDF and Ms Word books, I can promote and sell it on this site. By writing an article to promote my own product is great.

These are ideas I am having now. I don't know if I can change or have more ideas later on. Either I don't know if I can make it or not. I just know that I don't want to depend on Google or Adsense or others, I want to depend on myself to create money balance in my account.

My head and my mind tell me, 'Don't give up. Stand up and continue walking. I don't need Google Adsense to help. I am the one who can help myself. I believe in myself and I must go on.'

What I do to make people who can read and can't read read my writing

T here was one day LinkedIn notified me of the article of a business woman.  I didn't know her until I saw her last name, I checked then I realized she is the sister of Facebook, now Meta's owner.  I followed her but later on I wondered why I became her followers - because I liked, because I wanted to use her to get noticed, or because she gave me inspiration. Neither of them. I decided to unfollow her; I will wait for the day I have a sincere and clear goal to follow her, then I will follow her. Well, before I clicked unfollow, I was inspired by one thing. She had an article and at the bottom there was a video link. As I clicked it, it linked me to a video but it was not new - it was her voice reading that article. During the early days of the pandemic, the schools were closed and studied online. One of my nephews was at kindergarten and because of that, he couldn't read or write.  When I visited him, he liked me to read a book for him. I found he liked readin

It is a short story that I had published on February, 01 2019. I hid it, but now I have decided to publish it again. Just to entertain the readers only, because these days, I cannot find a  topic to write; therefore, I check and I think I should show the post that I have hidden.  Please enjoy. written by Chakriya PHOU In a company's room... Interviewer : Hello, welcome to my company. Please show why I should hire you.   Interviewee : Because I have 3 qualifications.   Interviewer : What are they?   Interviewee : First, I speak honestly. Second, I share all knowledge/information. Third, if I do something wrong, I will accept my mistake.   Interviewer : Because of these 3 qualifications, I hope you'll find another job.   Interviewee : Why?   Interviewer : You speak honestly, it means you are not flexible. You share info, it means you cannot be my confidant because you would tell others about my story. You accept your mistake if you do wrong, it means you don't k

One difficulty the online business using Facebook page meets

-
Image
Online business doesn't always go smoothly, it has problems like business on the land. Such as my business. I sell PDF and Ms word books on a Facebook page. Mostly I use a cell phone to operate my shop. With the old platform, I and customers could contact each other fast.  When Facebook changed to Meta and changed its platform, I could not communicate with my customers - especially when they messaged or commented to buy my product, I didn't receive it until half a day later. So I have to use the Meta business app to run my store. However, it doesn't help my business to be better. The app goes down everyday; I have to reinstall it once every two days or I will lose my customers. I cannot choose though it gives me a hard and unhappy time - because Cambodians are fans of Facebook. It's a real example to prove that doing business is not easy and being an online entrepreneur, especially a start-upers, isn't always successful - we need time.
