My potential earnings have gone down the pan.
My comments box rapidly fills up with spam.
I tried and I tried, then enthusiasm died.
Writing pages, now I just say blog it,
whenever I can.
I like your attitude 2uesday, and your poetry.
My traffic is up
To a dollar a day
Yes spam is crap
What can I say?
Just roll up your sleeves
And spit on your palms
Ignore carpal tunnel
Forget your peeves.
Never made no dough
Bread, nor clams you know
Didn't create a space where folks wanted to go
Couldn't write squat
Didn't like what I got
Strung words together and came up with naught
Finally said "hey"
It's just day by day
Who cares if people like my junk anyway
If only...
Writings OK
well, it was anyway.
But now it is KO'd
and slipping away.
I am a gardener at heart
and always knew I was
from the very start.
I know how to dig in
and go with the flow.
That the crops that fail this year
next year will grow.
Two years now going on three.
The build up and turn over
was very good to see.
Just lately I have to admit
my enthusiasm is now
in the bottom of a pit.
I know what it takes
to make things grow
but Google strikes very low.
Each time I start to climb
someone expects me to
turn on a dime.
I really am not at all in one of my peeves
just thinking and rolling up my sleeves.
And each time I take another look
someone has re-written the book.
I think I am well past strife
just thought I would share a bit of
a day in the life... of.
Ignore all your troubles
put the cat in the bag
Googles naught but bubbles
let your tail wag
Shake up the soda
pop the cap with a bing
Yahoo fills the quota
your traffic will sing.
Man I totally suck as a poet! If it ain't fun, quit for a while. I took six months off last year.
The revenue search continues,
but appears to be in vain.
Paradigmsearch has concluded,
that the internet is a pain.
So it's off to buy a lottery ticket.
The odds are better there.
Will things ever get better?
Hope springs eternal,
but it's really best not to care.
Aww, let me try:
i never made no money
on Hub Pages
it is true
the ads you see annoyed me
and i didn't know
what to do
I wasn't born to shop
I did not
have a clue
So I went non commercial
gave up on
zero revenue
At least you've had earnings,
you should be glad,
you've had some success
so it isn't all bad.
The internet's full
of such talentless tripe,
all making money,
now that's my main gripe.
But it's horses for courses
so keep up the work,
don't listen to me,
cos I'm just a berk.
