I debate again rearranging some of my blogs. I feel like I should make more use of the blogging aspect on Look Beyond Mirrors Esoterica that that might drive more traffic to the site or more interactions between myself and clients. I’m not sure.

I put up my first flier for that business in the apartment complex’s mail room this morning. I have another one printed out and a new batch of business cards (without the home address) also printed. I forgot to get my ad into the Triangle, but I will do that today so it’s in early for next week. I think I’ll ask them to run me only for a couple of weeks. It’s $30 a week, and if it’s not going to generate business I don’t need to keep up with the expense. Looking at that the yellowpages is actually cheaper, because they were only $75 a month, it was just that I had to pay four months up front which made it an ouch.

I debate also offering different services with the business but I don’t know how viable they would be. I have the prospect of being a psychic investigator, which just sounds corny, but if things pan out with the one place that has asked me to look into their ghost problem, it might be corny but true. I just…I feel weird.

I’ve been a member of this organization called “Kasamba” but using them just makes me feel dirty. It’s funny, people talk all the time about how paid blogging is selling out and that we should be ashamed to work for them, but in all this time (I’ve been a member since January) I have never felt as dirty for writing about something through a blog review as I did in a month at Kasamba. Kasamba functions by saying that they will help people with talents connect to others. They say they will help you connect to experts who can aid you with something you need, whether you need an architect, an engineer or a psychic. They charge 30% commission on experts but 37% for psychics, and you’re supposed to put in your hourly rate. I raised mine a little to compensate for the fees they charge, but then, you actually have to bid to the clients to have them take you for work. Someone posts a message on the board like: “Does my boyfriend really love me?” and then all the psychics in their network type messages answering the inquiry explaining who they are and why that person should select them to answer. You have to propose a fee too, so there’s all these psychics undercutting each other saying things like, “Oh, honey I feel your pain. I’ve been reading for fifteen years I’ll do your reading for $10,” “My crystal are vibrating with the potency of your question. I will only charge you $7.50,” *shudders* I just feel sick every time I see the set up, and I’m going to delete myself shortly. I just…I can’t deal with working like that.
