    Getting no support or respect from close friends

    I am not currently making money from travel writing, no...I only finished the workshop a week ago, and just got my practice article submission reviewed yesterday. I do have a website that wants me to write for them and I'm doing research and compiling a huge list of magazines and websites that I...

    I have never been jealous (in a bad way) of other people's success. To me, those posts are inspiring and give me ideas for how I want my life to look. In fact I started following travelers and bloggers long before I even had a camper, about ten years before. It helped me dream and create the...

    I'm sorry you got no likes from your friends! 0 is pretty harsh. But you are right, we have to go where the support is and if it isn't with friends, find where it is. That is why I came to this forum with this issue, I knew I would get support. In the other forum where I posted about this...

    I guess to answer your questions, my criteria would be knowing someone for at least a few years, plus spending a lot of time with them, talking about everything about your life together, helping each other out when you need it, etc. And all of these friends have fulfilled all my criteria at some...

    Because they are my closest friends...I dont know how else to explain it, I have known them for years, one of them for 30 years, another one for like 11 or 12 years at least. These are the people I talk to every day and spend time with.

    Yeah, I've joined a few travel blogging groups so hopefully I can network with some people in there!

    I wish they would let themselves go! I have quit contacting them first but they message me almost every day, I respond because one of them I see all the time at the same events (festivals we both go to, that's how we met), another one I just feel bad if I quit talking to her because I am the...

    Well it doesn't suddenly matter, it has always mattered, but I guess my point is that friends are supposed to support you and now that I found out they don't, it's a harsh reality I have to accept. These are people I have known anywhere from 3-30 years so it's just shocking that they can't even...

    Oh yes, that is the smart thing to do. That is partially why I post things on my Facebook page, I haven't started my blog yet, just written a bunch of posts but I just started a course on it so I haven't gotten to the part yet about picking your blog name.

    That is very odd in this case because all of my friends have amazing jobs, one works at 3M so he brings home more money than I'll ever dream of making. Another friend has a dream job working from home, and another friend works doing something she loves and often brags about it on Facebook, she...

    Ugh that sucks though when friends you've had for most of your life (or even half of it) lack the ability to say something simple as "That's awesome!" That is really all I would like from them. For the moment I am living off an inheritance, I have about another year left til I run out but I...

    A year and a half ago I quit my job (I had an inheritance to fall back on) to focus on finding my passion, which ended up being travel writing/blogging and photography. I have never been happier in my life. Whenever I post on Facebook about my travels, none of my close friends like the posts...

    Can you use multiple business models in the same business?

    I might pay in the beginning to get traffic so I have some audience to interact with from the get go, I wouldn't want to be talking to myself for any length of time, lol But paying for traffic just seems silly after you already have traffic coming in. And traffic isn't a guarantee that you'll...

    Can you use multiple business models in the same business?

    Yeah and I only paid $10 for it because I felt bad getting it for free. And the sad thing is I've never even started it and I signed up like a year ago. I guess it's true what they say about people who take cheap courses, they have nothing motivating them to actually follow through. But courses...

    Can you use multiple business models in the same business?

    Oh I didn't mean I don't have time to read articles, I meant I hadn't taken the time yet to read it as of the time I posted that. But I did read it shortly after, and the article mostly talked about content syndication specifically having other sites share your articles. But that is not what I...

    Can you use multiple business models in the same business?

    I have the content for the products, I just need to assemble them. But everyone knows you're supposed to build an audience before you launch a product. What good does it do to make a product and have no one to sell it to? And getting feedback from an audience is the best way to make your product...

    Can you use multiple business models in the same business?

    My main audience is anyone interested in holistic natural health and they are everywhere. Any health niche is massive, it's one of the top 3. You can't throw a rock and not hit a huge audience that wants to learn about health. That is why I don't want to leave any money on the table by only...

    Can you use multiple business models in the same business?

    Oh yeah I wouldn't be just copying and pasting, at least not the entire thing, I am sure I would edit and change stuff. Well I don't know why, I mean the goal of most entrepreneurs is to have a life of freedom so that should mean they have more time to earn more money so that is why I asked...

    Can you use multiple business models in the same business?

    I can realistically do many first, in the same day. I don't have a job so I have 18 hours a day to work on this. I dont want to spend an hour setting up one thing and then twiddling my thumbs the rest of the day, I might as well keep the momentum going since I have the time and the content already.

    Can you use multiple business models in the same business?

    Well I do have something, or at least the content. My next step is to start building an audience which I could do through all these platforms. I could literally start in 5 minutes if I just knew if it was ok to put my content in all of these platforms at once. In one day I could post some...
