While I have applied to 93 jobs and made 150 direct contacts, all of that work doesn’t pay the bills. If you want a longer explanation, join my Patreon, where I talk about creativity, social media, and the things Jenya (my wife) makes.

I am nearing the end of my financial resources. These are the things that have kept me afloat for this long:

• Patreon – Thank you.
• Asgard Alaska – If you haven’t visited the website and read about Vikings, I highly recommend doing so. Creativity wise, knowing more about Vikings will give you more experience to draw from. (I’m the writer Ivar.)
• Bearly Entertaining and StudyFocusBeach – We’re still working on getting this to a profitable place, but if you need some royalty-free background music for your store or you just want some unobtrusive music for events, StudyFocusBeach is the place to start (Like, Comment and Subscribe; it will really help me out). Bearly Entertaining also has a podcast of gentle, fun stories. I’m working on the SEO portion of their website and YouTube channel as well as general web consulting.
• Kimber’s Safe Haven – My sister’s dog passed away about the same time that someone abandoned 11 cats on her property. Some of them were pregnant, so she’s ended with over 30 cats. To honor Kimber, she decided to pursue opening a pet rescue. Apparently, there is no rescue in Dallas, Oregon. I’ve been working on the gofundme campaign and trying to help with the website, which isn’t ready, yet. There’s also a Facebook page and a YouTube channel, but the YouTube channel isn’t getting much use at the moment.
• InboxDollars – It’s a pittance for the amount of time I spend on there, but this month I got $100 and that came in handy! I have written about InboxDollars before.
• Unemployment – Covers the rent and utilities and that’s about it. Still grateful it’s available.
