No problem. I just think that you'd be better served spending your time on something that doesn't require you to break your back so that someone else doesn't have to. This is basically outsourcing jobs...somewhere along the line, someone realized that they could get rich via online advertising. They soon after realized that they could do literally nothing in the process by giving some poor schmuck a minuscule piece of the pie for doing the grunt work. Sure, every company on earth works this way to an extent, but you can find better ways to make some cash on the side.
Try looking at your life as it sits now. Do you have any hobbies that you might be able to turn into a cash yielding venture? For instance, are you artistic? Do you antique? Are you handy?
There's a number of things that we do in our everyday lives (and that we're good at) that we don't realize we could be profiting from. My brother works as a printing press operator in his day job. On the weekends he works as a handy-man for real-estate companies who need small fixes on rental properties...this was born from his carpentry hobby, and all-around handy man status. I, myself, have painted for years as a hobby but recently started making extra cash by selling them in KC galleries...I've also taken up the 'hobby' of buying, restoring and reselling old furniture.
Things like that are fun, take up your free time, allow you to feel like you've accomplished something on your own (not for someone else's benefit) and earn you extra cash. Just a thought.
