Yes, on the same day that I find I shall be starting a new job next week, thanks to some cash for website support, I have completed the Crashed Lotus campaign….
Just in time really with the party this Sat to thank all the people who have employed me in my alter ego as Micro-job man!
Will you be a toastmaster at my 30th Birthday (masked ball) in 2011?
Not the craziest micro-job in the world, but it’s fairly loco to be advanced booked for a 2011 micro-job. Still it gives me plenty of time to work out how to blend a Venetian-style mask with the garb donned by this chap:
I shall be copying this chap... (minus lake)
While you’re at it, here’s a wedding video to edit…. yes.. Vicky wins the award for best selection of eclectic Micro-jobs. Quite what the prize will be, I don’t know…perhaps the happy thought that the blog now contains a picture of an unnamed man. Even his website – http://www.thelakestoastmaster.com doesn’t have his name, perhaps part of the toastmaster code of conduct!? I clearly have much to learn…
Just as the Crashed Lotus project was coming to an end, a restructure at work saw me seeking new opportunities in the brave uncertain world of redundancy. My soon to be ex-work colleagues enquired: “Are you now Macro-job man then!!?” Not yet, so it was time to crack on and perhaps get a bit of order and tranquility into my life…
So, a Reiki website was just the chill out job and so the counter ticks down to… £275.93
No sooner had I put the pedal to the carpet in the Red Fiesta, than it was time for a quick yarn with my friend Steve. He knows Andrew of furniture restoration fame and could pass on the happy news that thanks to the micro-jobbing website, he’d had his first big job… top news!
High on that news, with some slate cash in the bank, it was time to Skype Portugal… yes, MICRO-JOBBING HAS GONE INTERNATIONAL! Obviously, dealing with foreigners from foreign lands, the website cash was up-front and I can announce that thanks to such mid-week industriousness… the crashed Lotus debt is now only…
What do you do when you work long, hard hours and a bag of slate arrives in your front garden? Well, you can either spade it to the back yourself or get micro-job man in….
So, the question that is clearly on everyone’s lips – where did this mysterious £67.07 come from?
It just so happens that thanks to all the micro-jobbing, a quick search on google for “micro-job” reveals some probably not entirely unexpected results:
#1 in Google for “seo micro-job”
#4 in Google for “micro-job”
#4 in Google for “website microjob”
#6 in Google for “website micro-job”
#7 in Google for “blog micro-job”
All this high-stakes visibility against the “micro-job” and “microjob” keywords could not go unnoticed and I was contacted by a micro-job website designed to help make people cash with social media microjobs: http://microjob.co/ (Could you include the word “micro-job” more in that paragraph? Ed.)
What would a banner cost? I pondered and thought 2 micro-jobs (minus paypal thievery) would be a reasonable amount and so I shall get beavering in Photoshop….watch this space…
.. and the delightful rustle of tickly, lung-butter cannot detract from the crashed lotus mission as I inch closer to that magic £0 debt!
By creating a website for RPL Roofing, the remaining total is only £1058, almost on the magic £1k mark.
As the 1 year anniversary of the start of the Crashed Lotus blog has just passed, it’s a fine time to reflect on the £2,458.5 earned and the £1,058 still to go. The only question remains….
