Being A Content Creator For Vocal
When financial responsibilities were piling up. The rent also rising up, and just me wanting to buy more freaking cool stuff. I had to find ways of making extra money. Specifically what I call "throw away money." Money that I can use to spend on my hobbies, unhealthy and healthy habits and my vices. I need lots of notebooks because one of my hobbies is writing. I'm old fashioned. The first draft always goes on paper before I type on the computer. I have a habit of buying an energy drink at least once a week to give me a little extra kick for the day when I write and work out. Some might put that in the unhealthy habit or vice category. I'll let you decide. A few of my vices are sushi, tequila and at least a once or twice a week visit to the ramen or pho spot. Now knowing this little bit about me I'll tell you that I was sad when I couldn't visit my favorite sport for comfort food as frequent as I used to. Luckily for me a friend of mines recommended this site to me. I am a person that likes to talk about anything and everything if it interests me. politics, pop culture, sports etc. and vocals format lets you type about all of that. You're not in the pocket as the "sports guy" or "pop culture" guy. Your page is your page.

You know what that means for you: more money, honey! I’m all about women getting paid, so don’t sell yourself short – pun intended. Never give your rates up front without hearing the brand’s budget first.
