Little Blog Pills

We all need to work. I would be great to have a workd where money are not such an important thing anymore, but that kind of world is only in my mind. Right now, if you want to live, you need to earn money and the only two ways you have is either to find a job or create something on your own. So, today’s bloganuary daily Prompt question is related to our job and more specifically:

This is a great question. Let’s start saying something maybe retorical, but incredibly true: you must have fun. Someone once said “if you love your job, you will never work a day in your life!” I always found this idea pretty stupid and shallow, but in the end i realised that it’s absolutely on point. If you don’t like what you do, your life can be pretty hard to live. And since we are talking about the dream job, we must have the most fun while we do what we do.

So, now i have the only question: what does make me happy the most and at the same could let me make money? Well, i have two things i really like and i would really want to turn them into a income source. Let’s get started.

Blogging.

I love writing. it is a wonderful thing for me for so many reason.

The main reason is because i want to communicate with people. Since that people around me don’t understand at all what i do (and they don’t really want to talk with me about something serious), i have no other choice that talk with people in the internet. The blogging community is big and i can finally share my will to write and thing with people who have the same passion and love for words.

The other reason is that i can keep my mind busy. I lived months where my mind was not challenged at all and it started to bring me into pretty dark places. Between my father’s death, a very disappointed job and the feeling that i was wasting my life, i was not really going so well. But then, i started this blog. Post after post, i create a lot. Not only that! Writing every day at least one post forces my brain to be creative and be in the position to think even the craziest thing. I simply love the fact that with a blog in the internet i can save myself from a very problematic life and mental condition.

My dream would be to make my blog a source of income. There are so many thing i could do with my blog that i can’t wait to become big enough to make thing happens. I know it will be a long journey and i know that maybe becoming a full time blogger it will not be my thing. However, we are talking about dream job. Well, this is a big dream! I everything goes on plane (this is a big if), i could stay home all day, writing and making money! That would be something incredible.

Trading.

In January 2023 i started my journey as a trader. If you have no idea what trading is, it is basically making money in the financial business. You choose where to invest money (between Crypto and normal currency, stocks and inventment fund you have a large choice) and you will make more money. It sounds pretty easy. Actually between video i watched and books i read i was convinced that things might be pretty easy. Well, they were not.

For some reason i found very hard to understand what i was doing. I don’t know honestly why. Maybe it was because my mind was not actually completely focused, maybe because i was such in a hurry to make money or maybe i didn’t take the whole thing as i should. The matter of fact is that i last only three months. In all those three long months, every time i opened a position, i took the wrong decision and i lost money. They losses were not huge, but i was still losing money. Every time i was so frustrated, because i saw the potencial of trading and i saw how people were successful with tranding, but i could not be like them. The stress i acculumated that three months was a lot. I had to stop, because i was getting sick.

Now it’s January 2024. A year is passed and i am trying again with trading. This time i have to admit, it is way different. I am way much more focused, i can think of the entire thing with more lightness and joy. After a couple of weeks, i can say that i am doing fine. I am still in the learning phase, investing only virtual money right now, but i feel way much more confident. Since i started i lost only a couple of trades, but this time i know what i did wrong and i am fine with the losses.

My goal is to turn trading as a second sounce of income. I don’t want to become millionaire, but i want to be in the position to be profitable and make money not only for my present, but also for my future. This journey would be fascinating, because the potencial of trading is high and if can make things in the right way, i can use trading to cover the costs of my blogging and of my entire life. If with trading i were able to buy a house, pay the bills and let my blog work, it would be awesome.

Final conclusions.

To be honest, i don’t have a dream job, but two. I dream is to be in the position to make money from my blog and i want also make money with trading. I am trying to do it right now and i am good feeling that i can do it. I can write good content with my blog and i can also at the same time opening position in the market and make money in the meantime. Right now is a little complicated, because i have a job, but as soon as trading gives me enough confidence, i will leave my job and i can be a full time blogger and trader. That would be insane!
