Money goes out but nothing comes in

What bothers you and why?

Daily Writing Prompt

Bills, bills, bills, that’s all I get. Money goes out, but nothing comes in. That’s what bothers me at the moment. I thought not having enough money would only be a momentary problem. I can’t live on my savings forever. I thought some passive income from digital products would be a good idea. But no one wants to buy. I have one that someone else created, and the newest is a motivational postcard that I made myself. They are in Finnish, so maybe that’s the reason why people won’t buy. Or perhaps they’re not good enough that people want to print them or use them in some other way. It reminds me of the graphic design teacher who said a poster I did was one she wouldn’t put up on her wall. That makes me doubt that I’m not good enough to be a graphic designer. That it’s all in my head.

Selling digital products isn’t easy because there are so many. But some people make it look so easy. It is easy if you use AI for photos and videos. But they look so fake. I follow faceless marketing accounts on Instagram, and it’s becoming a little annoying that they rely heavily on AI as if it’s the only way to sell their products. It bothers me that people keep selling digital products, where they sell courses on how to sell digital products. So now everybody can make them without graphic design skills? AI should be a tool and not something you use to sell products. It can help you with writing, but you should still use your head. I’ve used both Gemini and ChatGPT to check spelling and grammar in my fan fiction. I also use them to find ideas and gather information. And also for chatting, because no one else gives me insight on things. AI should help and not do everything for you.

It would be nice to have some money to go on a cruise (it’s too hot on land), but I have to save money for the hotel I’m staying at in August when I see Bryan Adams in concert. However, I receive no income, and that bothers me the most. Money goes out, but nothing comes in. The only valuable thing I have to sell is my flat, but I need more money now. Hopefully, this will only be a momentary problem and not a long-lasting battle.

Just need to withstand the lack of reaction from others

Nothing seems to work, no matter how I try. Perhaps I just need to withstand the lack of reaction from others. I have made up a new fanfic, but no reaction to that. Not even views, or they come slowly. I spent hours writing it, and I think it’s good. Then none. But it doesn’t matter because I like what I write, which matters. I did get a compliment from someone who said I’m a talented writer. They suggested they would make a comic of it. But I can’t afford it right now. It’s a nice gesture, though. At least some are reacting. Some fan fiction succeeds better than others. I have a lot of fiction. Maybe it’s only the subject that people don’t care about, or a lack of coitus.

I’ve started a faceless account on Instagram in Finnish. It’s IN right now in Finland. You can sell digital products made by someone else and then resell them. There are MRR (Master Resell Right) and PLR (Private Label Right). You can make them your own or resell them as they are. To start somewhere, I bought a package with Instagram Stories and Reels and resold it. But when trying to sell a digital product, you need to advertise. So it’s not get-rich-quick (I don’t even want to be rich), but it is frustrating that it takes ages. I won’t earn anything. Some have waited for months and still haven’t sold anything. I was initially excited about faceless marketing, not having to show my face. Many faceless accounts sell courses about digital marketing and how to start faceless marketing, but I’ve already studied digital marketing and visuals. I’ve used a lot of money to study those things. Even if I did buy the course, there’s no guarantee I would profit from it. As a graphic designer and photographer, I want to make my own digital product. The best thing about selling digital products is that you don’t have to contract with a client and wait for clients to contact you. What if I don’t succeed, and I’m wasting my time? I need to withstand the negativity from my mind that it won’t work. I need to be more patient.

Lastly, about this blog, I don’t feel like blogging the way I used to. The last post about the Duran Duran concert was ignored, but I guess people are too busy. Or maybe reading blogs and blogging isn’t as popular as it used to be. I just need to withstand the lack of reaction from others. I’m writing for myself anyway. How else will I learn to write in English if I don’t blog? That’s why I’m here; the same goes for writing fan fiction. I need to get my thoughts written down somehow.
