I'm 78, and I'm trying to get someone to pay me for a skill I already have. Every Saturday I write down what I tried, what came back, and what it earned.
Twelve weeks. 10 October to 26 December. Including the weeks the answer is nothing.

How this works
One entry every Saturday. Each one says what I tried, what came back, and what it earned.
Nothing gets left out for being embarrassing.
Retire & RISE goes out three times a week, for people over 50 who want to earn something online. One of the three is this record: I'm trying to get somebody to pay me for a skill I already have, and I'm writing down what happens, including the parts that don't work. It starts with me finding out that my 3,456 subscribers weren't real.
Free. Unsubscribe whenever — the link is at the bottom of every email and it works.
I'm Bob Caine. I'm 78. I spent forty years in computer programming and project management, taking complicated things and making them work for ordinary people. I write Retire & RISE three times a week for people over 50 who want to earn a little online. I've chased plenty of shiny objects myself, which is most of what qualifies me to write any of this down.
