Over My Head?

8 months now, that's when I started my first website. And it's been a ride so far. My site is really picking up and I'm gathering clicks every single day from google now. Even if it's just one. Since november 30th I have consistently at least 1 click per day! I'm super thrilled about it but there's so much going on at the moment that I felt I had to write about it, just to clear my head a bit.

So, my year began a bit in distress. Suddenly I woke up having a lot of trouble breathing, I went to the hospital and they saw there that I had pneumonia. Not a great feeling. For two weeks now I'm not at work anymore and it gave me a lot to think about.

Which made me take the next step in my Online Carreer. I did a lot of research for some niches that I could explore. And suddenly I came up with one. The sex industry. I looked online and there's actualy a lot going on there. So I bought a new website and opened a webshop!

Because of the delicacy of the website I decided not to integrate it into my account, but it's an exiting step in my carreer.

The reason why I decided to do this is because I'm so fed up with my job. I make 700 euros at the moment at my job with a horrible boss that doesn't pay my overtime, nor does she give me the holidays that are legally granted for workers. I worked also on all the holidays last year without earning a penny more. Her reaction: You're a freelancer, you don't have the rights.

Unfortunately I'm not great at standing up for myself as I wanted to answer so badly: well, as a freelancer I decide when I work and when I don't too. But that's a battle I have to conquer another day.

It's quite hard as an immigrant to find a job, and especially in an area where there is hardly enough work for those who have citizenship.

I'm not a quitter, but last months have been tough as I don't even have the money to go to the dentist at the moment. And on top of that I'm working like 80 hours a week with my websites included. Maybe it wasn't the best idea to already start another website as well, but I'm not someone who just bets on one horse ;).

On top of that, I've got some great ideas for my yoga website as I want to produce my own videos now too! This is gonna be really great, even though I've got some stage fright. But I'm going to do it anyway ;).

Will keep you all updated on the progress on both websites!
