In the Launch of Another Website

My New Blog

Travels from Therese

Well, it has begun, another chapter towards monetization.
My Queen of France site "here"; is starting to get hits, so I'm going to focus further on my blogs, I've neglected them and almost lost Tutu Ballerina off into the wind.

I just lost interest when dear old amazon took away some of their advertising feeds, a few yrs ago. This time I'm dedicated to using many more companies, in order to achieve results.

No champagne yet! I still have to procure the right advertisers for my "royalty site", (that's a monetary pun).

Thus far, royalty books and even ecological pet foods for my animal pages, could be advertised here.

I decided upon another blog, though, one with less government, & more fine arts and travel related. The domain I went with is "Travels-with-Therese.com"

Next: to write blogs, html repair, and monetize.
It's kind of fun to write html again, after almost 20 yrs of being a non-techie. That first run up 1996-2003 almost killed me stress wise. This time it's more relaxing, & I've traveled to many countries and it's ok to go back to it.

It's like falling off your horse, and walking away from their online money scene, and getting back on the old horse yrs later. The html code is still the same for the most part, I added grid into my html rep. recently vs tables.

However, tables are sometimes amazing to use.
All the float right and left is too swervy sometimes, so hopefully grids will help out.

I did find a few ghostwriter travel sites, but I prefer to be a known blogger rather than a ghost.
So I prefer to publish my works, via my blogs; instead of sending out my writings of traveling leftovers.

In this afterlife of mine, of being away from so many things. Online publishing and success is so much about being in order and having organization, which can be a tedious chore of constance. Web careers are not for everybody, it's not a playful time, it just represents constant upkeep and adherance. It' a place that feeds on the efforts of workaholics until they become techie burnouts. The fine line is to not let that happen.

So, I'm going to post my travel list-of-places here, for curiosity sake, & Resume safe-keeping. One day I'll add links these to charming places.

Tears for Fears: over Online Advertiser's Refusals

Advertiser Refusals
due to low traffic

Tears for Fears

I'm not doing well on this internet of commercial links, here and there. & I've written about 3 blog-affiliate-style sites and no click-thrus!, meaning 0 money.

This time, perhaps another try that's all. Maybe poetry or travel with a click thru to a book. I think I'm reaching the end of ever remembering exhuberance, 55, and 25 yrs online have left me too penniless. I don't believe I fit into the pay-per-word writer sites, either.

Somehow, this last week my robots.txt blog file was disrupted into a fail, and I hadn't changed it. So, I don't trust there is any chance right now of me earning an income by becoming an affiliate.
I'll add on of their images and links to my sites now and then, but eventually they say I'm no longer their affiliate due to "not enough traffic".
It's No matter, that I traveled afar and lived abroad for over 20 yrs, wrote and 30 books: published, kindle, made artsy notebooks, learned 70 arias.
It appears what smattering of self I have on offer, is of no interest to others, not even in a click away from in order to earn a financial gain.

Youtube

Youtube proved many years ago just how they could block my site from potential subscribers, when they turned me into a talking mirror for over 10 yrs.
Along the same time Youtube removed my chance of monetization due to low subscribers. I was halted at around 70 fake subscribers. When they wanted to destroy a person into poverty they really did. I've aged a hundred yrs, from the anxiety they've put me through. I am feeling old now, not 55. The agonies from constant monetary refusals, has been trying to kill me inside.
It's become a "do" machine of learning processes, that haven't rewarded.

Forcing me with my only breaths left, to just be a bitchy complainer, when it wasn't ever my original nature.

It was too important for someone to stop me from expressing myself, and make me feel so low, that each day I wake, I can only wince at the hurtful chance, that I'm still alive.
Why am I given a life to breathe as thus? What the hell was I born for?
The meaning of life will not be found through me, only the beg for death to take me away sooner. The people are fake, trendy and superficial, expressing the same mechanisms taught to them on this machine. All the while, I've worked diligently, 7 days a week 12-16 hour work days with no holidays. Albeit my blogs may not be perfect & I have a few mispellings, but not enough to destroy a person on purpose. "Gutted". & I also refuse to sleep with an "SEO Specialist," as a method of "Help" in order to thrive online.

& The Winner is: ...Baking Cakes?!

No matter, if that's what my life has become. Somehow a lady who bakes cakes, can afford a thousand dollar camera, that doesn't require the brightest of snow in order to take a picture. No, apparently, she and many others earn a living online. For the bored with my site people: Here's an auspicious link to a high ranking Baker of Vegan Cakes.

It's a lose for me, the computer era has sent me into an early go-away. I don't want to compromise myself and link to more garbage that hurts the world either, so I guess I'll just lose, unless I try again, fighting though the smidgeon of limited options available for survival.

I'm tired of the machine, that keeps telling me; my words, ideas, and efforts are worthless.

Anyhoo, I guess I'll continue to write another post or two or three, away from "my indulgent self" here, that wants an income.
Don't bother to Wish me Luck, because I don't expect success anymore. Only a quiet down into life's final out.

Should of, should of, should of, stayed with counter mania or the big whois, should of. But there was "godaddy", eating up all the other competition, along with stupid business decisions from me back in 1996. I just continue to lose and the smiley ones win.

I'm just a consciousness against: their religions, their compromised selves, & their diligence to turn this internet into a constant sell-anything machine. & Yet, I too still require an income, even with all this mandatory consumerism.

500px.com and the Devil Shake Hands

Windsor Castle, from my ancestors.

My Advice To Never Buy Into 500px.com

Well, hello, they are looking to rob you 59+ dollars, based upon criteria too stringent for most to comply with.
They have an annual renewal fee, and I asked them "NOT to renew for the next year of services", less than 24 hours after the renewal fee had been charged.

I asked for a downgrade, as I didn't have the money to pay for their services. Instead they kept stating like robotic thieves, "Our terms state that if a renewal was processed you are not eligible for a refund. We processed the renewal on the 18th and you emailed us on the 19th after the renewal already went through. We emailed with a renewal notice on August 11th from info@500px.com to let you know the renewal was going to happen on the 18th. As you did not disable the renewal, the charge was processed. As per our terms you are not eligible for a refund."

After today, I simply wrote to make sure they would never charge me again, and employee "Dillon" who works for 500px.com pushed the issue into closing my account: because I told him to "get off his high horse" and "understand people don't have the money to pay."

Instead, he threw some kind of company intimidation email back at me, stating, that I had harassed him with discrediting language, (of the high horse), when the company 500px.com had just outright tried* to steal my money.

"Your account has now been banned and will not be unbanned."

So, High Horse Dillon who prefers to kick the impoverished, has run to the Mommie system of 500px.com and banned me. Meaning, not only did they attempt to steal my 59+ dollars, they also have closed my account, and removed my photography images.

Naming some Devils as... Bad Companies like... 500px.com

"Your account has now been banned and will not be unbanned."

I believe 500px.com is operating outside the US, somewhere in Asia, and the policy to not refund, or even offer a pro-rated refund is an unfair business practice.

There apparently isn't any safeguard in place to stop consumers from being robbed online, by these type of automated renewals, aside from issuing chargebacks.

Persons from this sort of company are apparently given no authority to refund money, and this particular company 500px.com was very ready with that hateful answer of "NO", you will not ever be refunded.

*I did issue a chargeback many months ago, but that's not a way to conduct business. People should not have to go through that channel for being less than 24 hrs to cancel.

The fact that 500px.com is operating without the ability to offer refunds is just unethical.

Pretty photos? Well they're not worth it. Be careful dealing with money-hungry 500px.com.

It's been a wierd new year for me. Someone removed my online art gallery website with hundreds of images of my artwork, that I can never replace. & Now, Dillon of 500px.com feels he has the priority to kick me in the proverbial alley of this cras internet, and ban what meagar photographic images I had on offer.

A rose, is a rose, is a rose, and now mine are all gone. (I might have a few on shutterstock, so go ahead and try to remove all of those images also, big meanies.)

It's kind of like a being dead already and living only as a ghost, my uploaded art and images all gone, only past memories.
The event of online data removal, will happen to each of us when we die. It's just not supposed to be a "kill the artist Therese", prior that time.

What a win for Dillon and the staff of 500px.com today.

It's time for the haunting of Ghost Therese; "No, she's not dead yet, so sorry she's still alive, she can still bleed, cry and feel pain."
