While Christianity isn't very pronounced in the movie, there is a reverence for God among the family. Maybe they were more Christian than the movie portrayed, yet they toned it down for the lukewarm audience? </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The story involves a young married couple having their first child, a boy. The dad was an athlete and was looking forward to having a son to play sports. Unfortunately, they find out he was born without eyes and will have trouble walking because of dwarfism and bone development issues. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Having a baby born blind is one thing, but having them born with eyes is even worse. The boy (Patrick) had to have glass eyeballs put into his skull. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Although Patrick wasn't able to play sports, his dad found out he liked music. This led to Patrick playing the piano and then the trumpet. Once he started playing the trumpet, he began playing in the high school marching band and later in a college marching band. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The couple went on to have two more normal and healthy boys. The movie shows how hard it was for the father to be there for his son and family while still working at a company with an office job. Eventually, he had to make a decision to quit and take another job that allowed him to continue to push his son in the marching band, as Patrick was in a wheelchair. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The filming, acting, and storyline are all quality in this movie, and the true story is very inspiring for the human spirit and for faith in God. Well worth spending an hour and a half watching one night. Blessings. </div>Robbie Lowdown0http://www.blogger.com/profile/17902333056871259143noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999982601341666384.post-63632796130378503202024-01-12T08:56:00.000-08:002024-01-12T09:00:29.567-08:00Watch the Movie: "Free Indeed: The Phil Thatcher Story"<div style="text-align: center;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://youtube.com/embed/ELAUYQDb_s8?si=CBDLiWwsE7-OJaPE" style="background-image: url(https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ELAUYQDb_s8/hqdefault.jpg);" width="480"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">This made-for-TV movie was produced in 1983 and is about the true-life Christian testimony of Phil Thatcher. The running time is about 56 minutes. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Phil Thatcher was born at the turn of the 20th century and became a notorious criminal in California during the 1920s. The movie shows his life progress from boyhood to manhood and how the death of his father when he was a child was a defining reason for his rebellion. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Phil's mother was always there for him, sharing her faith in Jesus Christ. Eventually, her prayers were answered when Phil came to believe in the Holy Bible and Jesus Christ. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">With the majority of his life spent in prison, Phil finally realized what was valuable in life and was able to enjoy God's redemption in his formerly destroyed life.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">He left Folsom Prison in 1941 and never went back to prison again as a prisoner. He went on to have an effective prison and youth ministry helping many souls find salvation in Jesus Christ just as he did in prison. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Great movie inspired by the Holy Spirit. True stories are always the best, especially if they are Christian. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>Robbie Lowdown0http://www.blogger.com/profile/17902333056871259143noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999982601341666384.post-90828279921769120372023-08-28T16:09:00.002-07:002023-12-31T11:43:52.680-08:00Watch the Movie: Touchback (2021)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="362" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/FEY9gkFaxys" width="483" youtube-src-id="FEY9gkFaxys"></iframe></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I want to share this great movie with you called <i>Touchback </i>made in 2021. The most notable actor is Kurt Russell and the writer/director is Don Handfield. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">There are two time periods depicted in the movie, one from the main character's high school senior year of 1991 and twenty years later when he is married with two children. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">This is the story of a small-town high school quarterback star from Coldwater, Ohio, who was destined to play college football for Ohio State and then on to a pro football career. That was what it seemed until the he broke his leg on the last play to win the state championship, thus ruining his chances of the bright future he dreamed of. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The description compared it to the movie <i>Field of Dreams, </i>which I think is a fair comparison, although I actually like this movie better. The plotline is fantastical, yet intriguing. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Without giving away the entire movie, the main actor is having a hard time trying to stay afloat running the farm and finds himself desperately trying to provide for his family. His broken leg, his broken dreams haunting him in his everyday life in the small town of around 3,000 people. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Through this crisis, he finds himself back in his senior year just a week before playing in the state championship game that ruined his chances of escaping the small town and living a life of stardom with one of the most popular girls in the school by his side. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">While this movie is a great sports movie, it is more so a love story. See, the woman he went on to marry was a less popular girl in his class who played in the band. She fell in love with him while he was recovering in the hospital after injuring his leg, as she volunteered there. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The main emphasis and message of the movie is whether he would choose to do things differently to get the life he thought he wanted or do things the same and end up with the woman he loved and married; the movie showed him trying to get both, but she didn't want to leave Coldwater like he did. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The message of the movie is something we all think about sometimes. Would I do things differently in life, or are we content with how things worked out? Instead of always striving for what we think is the best, maybe just being content with what God gives us is better after all. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">You can explore this question by watching the movie and hopefully be better for it in the end. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>Robbie Lowdown0http://www.blogger.com/profile/17902333056871259143noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999982601341666384.post-77230990742419413312023-03-01T16:55:00.003-08:002023-03-01T16:55:36.008-08:00Watch: My Brother's Keeper | Full Movie | 2020<div style="text-align: center;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://youtube.com/embed/BdJlsmpuzqg" width="480"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">This is a great movie showing a U.S. Army Ranger coming home from combat and dealing with his PTSD and other problems life is throwing at him. Made in 2020, the main character is having trouble having faith in Jesus Christ with his parents dying in a strange accident and his military friends dying in battle. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The troubles he is facing are very difficult, causing him to want to take his own life in the midst of the pain. He is a fighter though and perseveres with God's help, as God shows up just in time with his hometown pastor and a nice doctor lady who helps him cope with his feelings. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The twist of the movie deals with his best friend getting in trouble with a local gang member who is in over his head. The climatic end makes for a good movie and thankfully for the main characters involved, things work out as best as they could of with forgiveness, love, and submission to a higher power. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The hardest part for the main character was not praying with a Ranger friend who ended up dying on patrol. He couldn't forgive himself or God for this happening until he was put through the fire of affliction. Thankfully, he had some people there that loved him and could help, and he allowed them into his life through the fears and pain. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div>Robbie Lowdown0http://www.blogger.com/profile/17902333056871259143noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999982601341666384.post-11828428780052350272023-02-17T08:40:00.003-08:002023-02-17T08:42:49.578-08:00Watch the Christian Movie "Fireproof" (2008)<div style="text-align: center;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://youtube.com/embed/xvRaFrAemFY" width="480"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">"Fireproof" is a great Christian movie about the difficulty of modern marriages. Kirk Cameron stars in this highly engaging drama that depicts a firefighter husband and a hospital-working wife who have come to the end of their marriage so it seems. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The struggles and challenges of marriage are depicted very realistically, despite the fact that most marriages also have to deal with children, addictions (they did show he had a porn addiction), and money problems. Despite this movie portraying two upper-middle-class people, the struggles they have are very relatable for people in modern marriages. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Another aspect of the movie is they show the man's father as the one who helps him through the marriage struggles, in addition to his friend at work. This is great, yet most Americans don't really have a father like this either. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Even with a great Christian father to help us, marriages are still very difficult to keep together in our modern world full of temptation, sin, and a culture/society trying to destroy marriages at every level. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Most Christian movies now depict upper-middle-class families, which is something I think needs to change. What about all of those who are living in their RVs, in mobile homes, or in apartments? The mainstream Christian world seems to only represent people with money and wealth. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Despite these criticisms, this is a great movie and I would suggest watching it, especially if you are having trouble keeping your marriage together. The main themes and teachings are relevant for all of us who want to keep our marriages and live a Christian life. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">You will have to rent the movie, the video is only a trailer. I don't make any money from sharing it.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">May God bless your marriages and keep them in his grace and mercy, in Jesus Christ's name. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Here is a recent article I wrote about marriage:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.businessandsocietyarticles.com/2023/01/marriage-takes-work-and-faith.html" target="_blank">Marriages Take Work and Faith</a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>Robbie Lowdown0http://www.blogger.com/profile/17902333056871259143noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999982601341666384.post-21351866203234513482023-01-10T07:13:00.003-08:002023-01-10T07:14:53.530-08:00 Alexa Rankings for HubPages 30 Network Sites<a href="https://unsplash.com/@jimladeroutenewengland?utm_source=medium&utm_medium=referral" target="_blank"><img height="511" src="https://miro.medium.com/max/700/0*cWwfOn_0qsUugLLC" width="640" /></a><br /><br />Once upon a time, there was only one HubPages website where all kinds of different articles found their home, sort of like Medium. A few years ago, they decided to create separate niche sites.<br /><br />Now, there are 30 different sites where HubPages articles find their home, including one called HubPages.<br /><br />The articles that don’t get selected for one of these sites can still be found on hubpages.com, rather than discover.hubpages.com (the public HubPages site).<br /><br />Maybe this is all more confusing than most writers are comfortable with, which is why I’ve created this article listing each network site in order of their Alexa world ranking from the most popular to the least.<br /><br />The good part is all writers have to do is write an article and the HP editors do the rest. They will examine the article and find a home for it on one of these sites if it is quality enough to be a featured hub and the content fits.<br /><br />Writers can submit one article every two weeks to one of these sites if the editors didn’t choose it already. The editors will move articles over to one of these niche sites within two weeks if they do, usually in a few days.<br /><br />All of these niche sites can be found on the HubPages home page, yet I wanted to add their Alexa rankings to help writers decide which ones they should write for.<br /><br />I have one article on Dengarden, 4 on HubPages, and 4 on LetterPile. The rest of my articles are on the hubpages.com site, which from what I gather isn’t seen by search engines and doesn’t make money from views. They can only be found by other writers on <a href="https://hubpages.com/@lowdown0">HubPages from your profile</a>.<br /><br />These languishing articles are the ones I wrote around 8 years ago and just haven’t been upgraded to be moved over. Interestingly, they are shown in the old interface of HubPages, the nostalgic version.<br /><br /><br />1.

Writing articles themed for the more popular sites will have a greater chance of getting views, which is important as HP pays for each view you get.<br /><br />I wrote an article detailing the RPM for HubPages from my experience:<br /><a href="https://businessandsocietyarticles.medium.com/rpm-for-hubpages-my-experience-c9a311512d5b"><br />RPM for HubPages: My Experience</a><br /><br />While I prefer to write on Medium, HP gives me another egg in the proverbial basket and is a quality writing site as well.<br /><br />Happy writing.<div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Originally published at <a href="https://businessandsocietyarticles.medium.com/alexa-rankings-for-hubpages-30-network-sites-302e91a41a59" target="_blank">Medium</a></div>Robbie Lowdown0http://www.blogger.com/profile/17902333056871259143noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999982601341666384.post-59894280617676970752023-01-08T14:01:00.005-08:002023-01-08T14:04:59.402-08:00 RPM for HubPages: My Experience<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://unsplash.com/@shotbycerqueira?utm_source=medium&utm_medium=referral" target="_blank"><img height="480" src="https://miro.medium.com/max/700/0*FZ_mfkdnTX5uV_JG" width="640" /></a></div><br />Pennies rolling in for 9 years equals…<br /><br />HubPages is a premier revenue-sharing writing site that’s been around since 2006 — six years before Medium launched.<br /><br /><a href="https://hubpages.com/@lowdown0">I’ve been writing on HubPages</a> for nine years, since 2014. In that time, I’ve written around 50 articles total. As of now, I have 28 published articles — I’ve deleted 12 of them, either moving them elsewhere or assigning them to the online rubbish heap.<br /><br />Saying I wrote there for 9 years is inaccurate because most of this time I completely ignored the site in favor of my blogs. In actuality, I focused on the site for around a year and a half.<br /><br />With my background there established, I want to share my findings on how much writers can expect to earn at HP; specifically, the revenue per thousand views (RPM). They pay through PayPal by the way.<br /><h3 style="text-align: left;"><br />RPM for HubPages</h3>Writers for HP used to be required to have their own AdSense account to share in the AdSense revenue from the site. Now, writers don’t have to have their own AdSense-approved account, they can simply sign up and start earning from their articles through the HubPages’ Ad Program, as well as through their Amazon Program earnings.<br /><br />This is a welcome change considering how difficult it can be to get approved for AdSense.<br /><br />As you may have gathered, unlike Medium, HP has ads showing on your articles, as well as any Amazon capsules placed there. The ads really do hamper the reading experience, yet it does allow for the revenue-sharing model to continue.<br /><br />Here are my stats at HubPages:<div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>33,682 total views</li><li>$250 total revenue ($210 ads, $40 Amazon)</li></ul>Doing the math, this comes out to $7.42 per 1000 views. So the RPM for HubPages from my experience equals:</div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>$7.42</li></ul>Now, if you take away the Amazon money, the RPM is:</div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>$6.23</li></ul>In order to add Amazon capsules or modules, they have to fit with the article’s content. This means you can only add Amazon to certain articles. For instance, poetry and short stories won’t generally have Amazon in them; articles about a certain product or book will, etc.<br /><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">HubPages vs. Medium RPM</h3>Making $6–7 per thousand views isn’t too bad in my view, as these are both internal and external views. From what I’ve heard and seen about Medium’s RPM, it is fairly low in comparison, yet this is just my experience.<br /><br />I’ve seen some earning reports from Medium where the RPM is around $25 for all views and nearly $40 for reads. Of course, this depends on how many of your views and reads come from internal or external sources. You can only figure this out by examining each article’s stats.<br /><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">RPM for Google AdSense</h3>For some added bonus material, I want to share my RPM experience with AdSense on my blogs.<br /><br />I’ve had AdSense on 5 of my Blogger blogs for around ten years. For the last couple of years, I only have it on 3 of them. Here are the results for the past three years:</div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>17,590 views</li><li>$6.72</li></ul>That equals an RPM of:</div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>.38 cents</li></ul>As you can see, it is hard to make money with AdSense with certain blogs at least. From my experience, you have to get thousands of visitors each week to start getting clicks and making money. When it is just a trickle of views each week then chances are ads won’t get clicked.<br /><br />The type of ad placement and blog content makes a big difference in having success with AdSense on your blogs, keep that in mind.<br /><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">RPM in Perspective</h3>To bring these numbers into perspective, consider the per-view amount. If you make one penny per view, this equals $10 RPM.<br /><br />For the last 30 days at Medium, I’ve had 1,250 views. If I made $12.50 for the month this would be $10 RPM. From my understanding articles make money from member reading time, so the RPM is hard to calculate. If most of your views are from members then you will make much more than $10, etc.<br /><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">Conclusion</h3>Overall, HubPages is a solid place to write articles. The articles do need to be exclusive for their site only. While I don’t like certain things about HubPages, including the word processor interface and the exclusive rule, it does give decent stats and shows how many articles each author has written.<br /><br />For now, I’m doing some creative writing over there to see how it performs. It helps me practice fiction writing skills without burying my articles here at Medium.<br /><br />One last thing, it seems HubPages doesn’t have an affiliate program anymore. They used to offer writers this extra way to make money by referring new writers to the site (like Medium does with users), but this has been eliminated.<br /><br />Happy writing.<div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Originally published on <a href="https://businessandsocietyarticles.medium.com/rpm-for-hubpages-my-experience-c9a311512d5b" target="_blank">Medium</a></div></div>Robbie Lowdown0http://www.blogger.com/profile/17902333056871259143noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999982601341666384.post-13648199430957001182022-12-09T16:42:00.009-08:002022-12-13T12:47:46.714-08:00Ghostwriting vs. Byline Writing<p><br /></p><figure class="eu ew ig ih ii ij eq er paragraph-image" style="box-sizing: inherit; clear: both; margin: 40px auto 0px;"><div class="ik il dj im bg in" role="button" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8); cursor: zoom-in; font-family: medium-content-sans-serif-font, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; position: relative; transition: transform 300ms cubic-bezier(0.2, 0, 0.2, 1) 0s; width: 680px; z-index: auto;" tabindex="0"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="cc from commons.wikimedia.org" target="_blank"><img alt="" class="bg io ip c" height="573" loading="eager" role="presentation" src="https://miro.medium.com/max/700/1*-nxn6yMu9n6_E-0vZQAujQ.jpeg" style="box-sizing: inherit; height: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle; width: 680px;" width="700" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="cc from commons.wikimedia.org" target="_blank"><br /></a></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="eq er if" style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 733px;"><picture style="box-sizing: inherit;"><source sizes="(min-resolution: 4dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 50vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 4) and (max-width: 700px) 50vw, (min-resolution: 3dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 67vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 3) and (max-width: 700px) 65vw, (min-resolution: 2.5dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 80vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2.5) and (max-width: 700px) 80vw, (min-resolution: 2dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 100vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2) and (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" srcset="https://miro.medium.com/max/640/1*-nxn6yMu9n6_E-0vZQAujQ.webp 640w, https://miro.medium.com/max/720/1*-nxn6yMu9n6_E-0vZQAujQ.webp 720w, https://miro.medium.com/max/750/1*-nxn6yMu9n6_E-0vZQAujQ.webp 750w, https://miro.medium.com/max/786/1*-nxn6yMu9n6_E-0vZQAujQ.webp 786w, https://miro.medium.com/max/828/1*-nxn6yMu9n6_E-0vZQAujQ.webp 828w, https://miro.medium.com/max/1100/1*-nxn6yMu9n6_E-0vZQAujQ.webp 1100w, https://miro.medium.com/max/1400/1*-nxn6yMu9n6_E-0vZQAujQ.webp 1400w" style="box-sizing: inherit;" type="image/webp"></source><source data-testid="og" sizes="(min-resolution: 4dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 50vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 4) and (max-width: 700px) 50vw, (min-resolution: 3dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 67vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 3) and (max-width: 700px) 65vw, (min-resolution: 2.5dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 80vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2.5) and (max-width: 700px) 80vw, (min-resolution: 2dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 100vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2) and (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" srcset="https://miro.medium.com/max/640/1*-nxn6yMu9n6_E-0vZQAujQ.jpeg 640w, https://miro.medium.com/max/720/1*-nxn6yMu9n6_E-0vZQAujQ.jpeg 720w, https://miro.medium.com/max/750/1*-nxn6yMu9n6_E-0vZQAujQ.jpeg 750w, https://miro.medium.com/max/786/1*-nxn6yMu9n6_E-0vZQAujQ.jpeg 786w, https://miro.medium.com/max/828/1*-nxn6yMu9n6_E-0vZQAujQ.jpeg 828w, https://miro.medium.com/max/1100/1*-nxn6yMu9n6_E-0vZQAujQ.jpeg 1100w, https://miro.medium.com/max/1400/1*-nxn6yMu9n6_E-0vZQAujQ.jpeg 1400w" style="box-sizing: inherit;"></source></picture></div></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br />Giving credit to whom it is due isn’t always the goal of an article or eBook. Many articles and eBooks online are actually written by someone other than the byline indicates.<br /><br />Byline writing means writing and getting credit for the work rather than ghostwriting (or content writing) and letting someone else get the credit. Most of you already know the distinction, yet I thought I would clarify what I meant.<br /><br />I have written around a thousand articles as a ghostwriter, mostly for business blogs. I worked through broker sites online and got paid around .01 to .05 cents per word. Essentially, I earned around $10 to $50 for each article. The biggest article I ever wrote paid $120 for a two-thousand-word article about elevators.<br /><br />At the time, I wanted to write for my blogs and as a freelance writer, but I needed to make money and I didn’t have time to develop my freelancing capabilities. I was grateful for the opportunity to refine my craft and make some money to add to my day jobs, yet what did this experience do to my writing ambitions and creativity?<br /><br />I’d like to say nothing, that it simply helped me become a better and more disciplined writer, yet writing these elaborate industry articles for someone else to claim was strange to me — it just seemed deceitful.<br /><br />I rationalized the experience by saying I only write about topics I would never write about otherwise, that is, topics that don’t require an opinion and are mostly just explaining a product or service. Actually, the process of learning about all these various industries, services, and products, broadened my understanding of technology and how things work. Even with these benefits, I still found myself wishing I could spend my writing time and effort honing my own writing and building my own audience.<br /><br />Looking back, I think what happened is ghostwriting for money sort of took away my ambition to write creatively. I tried to keep up with my blogs, yet I could never gain traction and it never seemed like a real audience was being developed. Maybe I just didn’t consider the audience enough, rather I was just writing to get things off my chest, to expose and bring light upon things I thought were worthy. Whatever the issue, the audience never really materialized and my blogging became less exciting.<br /><br />While I don’t want to attribute the demise of my creative spark to the doldrums of content writing, it seems the correlation has merit when looking at the time frame. As a dedicated truth seeker and blogger, I have continued to find ways to continue blogging, yet writing and growing an audience has still eluded me for the most part.<br /><br />Do I regret ghostwriting? No, it helped me make money through some hard times; it has been comforting to know I have a way to make some extra money online between jobs. The purpose of the activity does seem to be a waste if one can do otherwise, especially, if someone considers themselves a writer and wants to express their soul through words.<br /><br />I always thought when I was working on these 600 to 1000-word articles and spending all day researching, writing, and editing them, what if I spent this amount of time on my own articles? I tried later with my blogs and found they were simply published and then lost in the clatter of the internet world. I established a wide-reaching syndication network and joined many social networks, yet still, these efforts were merely represented in views/visitors and mostly spam comments (I’ve since learned to filter out all spam comments on blogs). The audience, the flow, just wasn’t there.<br /><br />Writing online has been a huge learning curve; included in this curve is becoming a ghost and writing for other people — professionals who many times took the byline. Some of the articles I wrote surprised even me, it was as if I knew what I was talking about with these industries I wasn’t even in, nor had any real experience with. Strange how the internet can make people seem smart with all the information at our fingertips. Maybe the most valuable aspect of writing I’ve learned is the importance of the audience; instead of heading full speed ahead like an elephant in an antique shop, maybe some tact and grace would help…<br /><br />My personal writings were shock and awe — Boom! Did I consider my audience? Not really, not like I do now. This is part of the learning curve, the life curve. Maybe it was, I wasn’t ready to write with my byline. Even most of my personal writing was with a pseudonym anyway. Now, at 43 years young, God has me writing with my byline. Things seem to click into place even without our purposeful and conscious actions at times.<br /><br />Recently, during my off-season from being a superintendent/greenskeeper of a 9-hole golf course, I have time to write again. I considered writing as a ghostwriter again, allured by the instant payment for a sold article, yet this has given way to me writing here and at other places with my byline, trying to build an audience and be part of a community. While this doesn’t promise to bring any money, it does give me an outlet for my creative writing passions, connecting me again with that young ambitious writer from 30 years ago who wanted to write stories for his beloved audience.<br /><br />I can always spot a writer, they are different than other people. I realize there are many people who write, yet I’m talking about those who are writers, who identify themselves as writers. This is my foundation as an adult, this is what I worked for and sacrificed to be, even if I haven’t learned how to turn this into money as well as others. I’m the isolated type, the loner, the introvert (I don’t like that expression), the deep thinker, and the someone who thinks words matter — even if I’m not the best with them.<br /><br />Ghostwriting was a painful exercise for me, although I think overall it was a positive experience. Regardless, it isn’t something I want to spend my time doing when I have this opportunity to write with my own byline. Hopefully, this has helped you reflect in some measure on the positives and negatives of ghostwriting vs. byline writing. Ultimately, I think it has to do with the inner ambitions and purpose one has in their soul concerning the written word, despite what others may think and how it compares to others, if it is there, it should be given credit and allowed to share in the community of others like ourselves.<br /><br /><br /><br />Originally published at <a href="https://medium.com/business-articles/ghostwriting-vs-byline-writing-a17b90314c5f">Medium</a> on Dec. 9, 2022<br /></span><br /></figure><p class="pw-post-body-paragraph iv iw hi ix b iy iz ja jb jc jd je jf jg jh ji jj jk jl jm jn jo jp jq jr js hb bj" data-selectable-paragraph="" id="ba23" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #292929; font-family: source-serif-pro, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 20px; letter-spacing: -0.003em; line-height: 32px; margin: 2em 0px -0.46em; word-break: break-word;"><br /></p>Robbie Lowdown0http://www.blogger.com/profile/17902333056871259143noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999982601341666384.post-81465353783595524492022-08-28T12:43:00.001-07:002022-08-28T12:43:25.309-07:00Watch: "The Mormons: Who They Are, What They Believe (2015)"<div style="text-align: center;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://youtube.com/embed/SyhD4b1ZuTo" width="480"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Have you ever wondered what the Mormons do in their elaborate temples? Have you ever randomly equated this cult to Christianity? For anyone who is even slightly interested in this religious sect, this documentary will be very interesting, as it does an excellent job of explaining its origins and development from the 1800s until today. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Truly, there are always gullible people willing to follow anything and anyone who is sure of themselves, no matter how deviant and strange it is. Following Joseph Smith, as thousands and now millions of people have is a great example of this. It doesn't take much investigation to realize Mormonism has nothing to do with Christianity, yet they call themselves Christians in order to hide behind this legitimate belief system; even their brainwashed adherents believe they are the true Christians and all the others are false, simply because often they don't know the alternative. Cults are really good at isolating their people and using fear to keep them in line with the false doctrines they espouse. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">I lived in Utah for around two and a half years while in the Air Force in the late 90s, yet I didn't know anything about the people around me. They are nice people, very family oriented, works oriented, so it seemed like a nice place to me. Of course, I was isolated mostly to the Air Force base, Hill AFB, in Layton, and the most mingling I did with the locals was to visit the dance clubs where all the "jack" Mormons were defying their parents and religious system with riotous living. Wow, I thank God I wasn't together enough to marry some Mormon, otherwise, I could have been part of this cult myself!</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">One thing that bothers me with ignorant folks is when they think the Seventh Day Adventists, Mormons, and Jehovah Witnesses are all the same. This is far from the truth, as Mormons and Jehovah Witnesses are very much cults that don't follow the Holy Bible; the SDA Church on the other hand follows the Holy Bible and is the only true Protestant church today. While I'm not officially an SDA member, I believe in much of what they do and find their faith most closely aligns with the church in the wilderness and the true Protestants of the past than any other Protestant denominations -- for instance, they don't believe in the Jesuit doctrine of Futurism. The Mormons on the other hand are way out there in lala land, even thinking we will become Gods ourselves! They believe Jesus and Satan are brothers from mother earth, no kidding, very out there stuff. And to give it away, 90% of their Temple time is spent to baptise for the dead! Not to mention all their rituals are Freemasonic, as Jospeh Smith and the early believers were Freemasons themselves...</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Mormons really top the cake when it comes to cult religions, only second to the Mother Harlot herself, the Roman Catholic Church. Don't take my word for it though, watch the documentary, read some books, and see for yourself -- and if you are a Mormon and love the truth, you are obligated to get out of this false church that teaches lies upon lies, my prayers are with you, with God you can do this! Be free of this darkness in Jesus name!</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>Robbie Lowdown0http://www.blogger.com/profile/17902333056871259143noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999982601341666384.post-22952142794637435372022-06-26T08:12:00.003-07:002022-06-26T08:14:35.943-07:00Listen to the Song: "Just Go By" (Carroll Roberson The Best of Volume 1)<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://youtube.com/embed/7uVcESoaudo" width="480"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Do you ever find yourself doubting the Holy Bible? Well, in our modern world which speaks and teaches the opposite of the Bible, having doubt is understandable. Nevertheless, the truth remains the same as it did 2000 or even 6000 years ago, while the lies of this modern world will fade away very soon indeed. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">What we put in us will determine what comes out of us. If we listen to the world's music, we will think and act like the world. If we listen to Gospel music, we will think and act according to the Gospel. As a musician and someone who was deeply into worldly music before I was born again, I know how important it is to put away worldly music, even if it doesn't overtly seem AntiChristian -- mainstream music that ignores Jesus Christ and the Gospel is cursed and full of the worldly anointing, rather than the Holy Ghost -- there is no truth in this world. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">To live according to the Word of God includes training our minds to not entertain worldly movies, music, lusts, and thoughts, as they will only bring misery and evil in our lives. Many will have to learn this the hard way and some will never learn this. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This song is special because it addresses that doubt and gives us the answer: Faith in Jesus Christ. That is the answer friends; I know it may seem too simple, yet if one loves the truth, they will love Jesus Christ, as He is the Truth and will led us into all truth through the Holy Ghost, who is with us until the end. If we can train our minds to put away wickedness, to not listen, watch, hang out with, or otherwise be involved with worldly things and pursuits, then we will avoid the snares the Devil has waiting for us. Hope this song helps in your Christian walk, blessings in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>Robbie Lowdown0http://www.blogger.com/profile/17902333056871259143noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999982601341666384.post-87865791041990621392022-05-20T06:41:00.001-07:002022-05-20T06:41:46.236-07:00Watch Christian Movie: "The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry" (2008) <div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://youtube.com/embed/X6jEFAqZeYQ" width="480"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Set around the late 60s and early 70s in the U.S., this movie shows how far things have changed in this country. Based on a true story, the movie shows the summer for a gang of young adolescent boys who meet Mr. Sperry who teaches them about the Holy Bible and Jesus Christ. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">These are normal boys, thinking nervously about asking a girl out, hanging out at the pizza joint, dealing with bullies, and riding their bikes around the neighborhood. This was a time with no smartphones, no Internet, and this can be seen when the boys take each other's calls in the living room when their mom calls them for the telephone. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Viewers can see how pleasant America used to be in the cities when the people who lived in them had Christian values and respected each other and their community. 12 YOA Children back then were thinking about innocently asking a girl out instead of watching porn and sexting each other... The old men in the neighborhood were interested in helping the children find Jesus Christ instead of kidnapping them and putting them into the sex trade...</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Things have definitely changed from this time. Of course, this time wasn't without its problems. The late 60s and early 70s were when the Boomer generation came of age and half of them were completely brainwashed to carry out the NWO communist, satanic agenda we see the fruits of today.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> It is much harder to build up than to destroy, it is much harder to do the right thing than to do the wrong easy thing. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Unfortunately, a nation that is cursed is going to suffer the consequences of forgetting God and chasing after Satan's world. We can see the manifestation of this curse today with a focus on transgender, abortion rights, and homosexual equality. Mass shootings created by the intelligence agencies, false pandemics created to oppress and destroy our country, transgender men/women (?) taking over women's sports, sex change operations done to minors, and the proliferation of pornography and the temple prostitutes. Needless to say, the further we depart from God, the worse off we get. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is a great movie to watch to consider what it would be like if the majority of us did the right thing, if our communities helped each other, and if online technology wasn't part of our life. While it may seem inevitable for everyone to be pushed into this new world order they are creating for us with deception, lies, and wickedness, there are some of us who simply won't be part of this future, rather we will create our own future outside of this system and God will make a way for us. Blessings in Jesus, enjoy a better time in America, a story that reminds us of what really matters. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Robbie Lowdown0http://www.blogger.com/profile/17902333056871259143noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999982601341666384.post-88704623179094927562022-05-12T06:26:00.004-07:002022-05-12T19:56:35.087-07:00Watch the Christian Movie: "Greater" (2016)<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://youtube.com/embed/E1yDvnrkH4Q" style="background-image: url(https://i.ytimg.com/vi/E1yDvnrkH4Q/hqdefault.jpg);" width="480"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">For those who like Christian sports movies based upon a true story, "Greater" will not disappoint. This inspiring movie depicts a large youngster raised mostly by his mother and an older brother everyone thinks is his dad; this "fat" child developed dreams of playing professional football for the NFL, as well as playing college football for the Arkansas Razorbacks. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon Burlsworth defied all odds by not only playing a key role in high school football, but also walking on to the Arkansas Razorbacks football team his freshman year. Being from a family with little money to spare, paying for college to play as a walk-on wasn't going to happen past his first year. This was a problem, as Brandon was red-shirted his freshman year and only promised to play one game at the end of the year on the sidelines with no scholarship. This was challenging because Brandon had a full scholarship to a D3 college nearby his home -- he passed this over to play as a walk-on with Arkansas because it was his dream to play for the college even though he was slightly undersized. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Being undersized may have been a problem at first, but Brandon grew larger before showing up to college football practice. After he made headway as a walk-on and impressed one of the coaches, he got serious and got in great shape, now being around 6'4" and 275 lbs -- perfect for the lineman position he held, tackle to be exact. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Unfortunately, as foreshadowed at the beginning of the movie, Brandon ends up dying young right before he was to play in the NFL as a draft pick. After he was offered a full scholarship to Arkansas for the remaining 3 years he was in college, Brandon was selected as an All-American, which set him up to be in the NFL draft. This is a very tragic end to this faithful and inspiring young man. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">When it comes to Christian sports movies, this is one of the best. One of the major themes in the movie was Brandon's unwavering faith in Jesus Christ. His faithfulness and obedience to live out the Holy Bible set him apart from his teammates, yet also set him up to become a leader for the team. This helped them play an extraordinary season his senior year despite all odds, as the team was in a rebuilding year with a new coach. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thought I would share this great movie, hope you enjoy. Blessings in Jesus. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>Robbie Lowdown0http://www.blogger.com/profile/17902333056871259143noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999982601341666384.post-2574652573252599352022-05-04T18:53:00.004-07:002022-05-04T19:04:26.462-07:00Listen to "Innocent Road" by Caleb Klauder and Reeb Willms<div style="text-align: center;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://youtube.com/embed/r6K-HWFhV7U?list=OLAK5uy_lMkjMX2pDnHaG9F9DEGu5eu7kTqBVPPdA" width="480"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Here is an excellent album called "Innocent Road." My wife and I bought a Subaru around 8 years ago and this album was in the cd player; happened to be some of the best music I've ever heard and soon became our music, our song. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">The superb vocals, violin, steel guitar, acoustic guitar, mandolin, and drums all work together to record a great American folk album with a Christian song being the one the album is named after. "Gonna read the Good Book every day, gonna let Jesus lead the way..."</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Wanted to share this amazing album that features wonderfully talented artists with many interesting and catchy songs to sing. Caleb and Reeb met at a music festival and have been creating songs and singing classic songs together ever since. Their voices meld well together and both have unique and powerful voices. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">"Your the One" and "No One Dear but You" are our favorites, especially the former, yet all their songs are good, it is that type of album. I've listened to some of their live music at different venues on YouTube and they have a great depth of folk history in their playlist, if only radio stations played good music like this. Thought I would share, blessings in Jesus readers, enjoy. </span></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Robbie Lowdown0http://www.blogger.com/profile/17902333056871259143noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999982601341666384.post-376857060986811302021-02-26T12:17:00.004-08:002021-03-27T14:31:49.706-07:00Search Engine Review: Presearch <p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://presearch.org/signup?rid=2221521" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="537" data-original-width="800" height="430" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhithgyMaAQ6dw92cmc1z-gCygIu6KMTmuhdF-nK2ZqlkodcAyvazBS4xSS-zkdTKUcEaoky6y6JFONboUgEtfuGThcEmIR9Ek9ekKrSLXSeLxtJHzDMGVENBWOt1yj5r76Hr2duDdH67c/w640-h430/presearch+image.png" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><b>Overview</b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><span> </span>Presearch is a decentralized search engine powered by blockchain technology. If you've been looking for a viable alternative to Google, this is the best option I've seen yet. The features and benefits of using this search engine are perfect for what most of us need with our daily searching efforts. Let's examine these features and benefits while getting to know this new search engine on the online block.</span><div><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><span> </span>For those who don't know much about the blockchain or cryptocurrencies that's OK, you will still benefit from using this search engine. Although I'm invested in about 13 cryptocurrencies and have been learning about them for a year, I still have a hard time understanding the language and process of the blockchain. The main takeaway I understand is the platform is decentralized, built and ran by and for the community of users -- runs on node servers operated by the Presearch community.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><a href="https://presearch.medium.com/who-uses-presearch-7ec65c4170ad" target="_blank">As of January 2020, Presearch had 1.3 million registered users with 300k signing in monthly</a>. </span></p><p><b><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Features </span></b></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><span> </span>Privacy is a big benefit of using Presearch, as this search engine doesn't track or store searches. This is comforting considering how invasive Google and big tech are when it comes to privacy and benefiting from our information and participation while not giving us anything in return monetarily. This brings me to the next benefit of Presearch. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><span> </span>Making PRE coin. Presearch is the search engine that pays in the form of their own PRE coin cryptocurrency. <a href="https://engine.presearch.org/search?q=presearch" target="_blank">As of today, one PRE coin is worth about 7 cents</a>. Users can earn by searching (.25 PRE per search with a max of 8 PRE per day) and referring others -- the affiliate program gives 25 tokens per referral after they have been active for 30 days since signing up. You can also earn money operating nodes -- if <a href="https://www.presearch.io/nodes" target="_blank">nodes are your thing</a>. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><span> </span>Also, if users want to advertise, users can keyword stake search terms and use PRE coin to pay for them (users can buy PRE coins through Presearch). When someone searches for your term and you've bid more than the others staking that term, then your ad will show up first in the search. There is no price per click or impression, just the amount users spend to stake a certain keyword or phrase -- it is called <a href="https://keywords.presearch.org/dashboard" target="_blank">keyword staking</a>. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><span> </span>PRE coin is part of the Ethereum blockchain and can be found on <a href="https://www.presearch.io/exchanges" target="_blank">a few exchanges they list for us</a>. Also, when <a href="https://presearch.org/account/withdrawals" target="_blank">withdrawing PRE</a>, a user must have a min. of 1000 PRE coins and have a wallet to transfer to. Since I haven't yet withdrawn any coin ( I have earned 45 so far) I can't verify the process -- as of today, they have a note saying they are experiencing withdraw delays because of huge transaction fees by Ethereum, so if users want to withdraw at this time, they'll have to contact them at the email listed. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><span> </span>One of the more interesting features of Presearch is how users can search using different search engines, including for shopping, social media, and many other categories. In fact, there are 18 different categories to choose from and many platforms to search with for each. For instance, users can use the Presearch search engine, DuckDuckGo, Bing, Google, and others. The main interface doesn't change when you switch back and forth looking at different search engine results. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><span> </span>Also, importantly, when you download Presearch your bookmarks stay the same -- no need to export them over to another search engine, etc. This was a problem I was having with the Brave browser because I couldn't figure out how to sync my bookmarks, so when I used Google and added bookmarks, they weren't synced over to Brave; eventually, I just stopped using Brave because of this issue. </span></p><p><b><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Ethics</span></b></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><span> </span>Besides usability and great features, Presearch has better ethics than Google and other big tech search engines, who are basically on board with politicians and corporations to go along with their Godless new world order agenda (including the censorship of the truth or any opposition that is not controlled), etc. Here is part of the mission statement from Presearch:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p></p><blockquote><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><i>We believe that the world deserves a community-driven, grassroots, decentralized search engine that’s built by and for the community it serves.</i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><i>This search engine should reward those who contribute to its success, and leverage blockchain technology and cryptocurrency to align the interests of all of its stakeholders.</i></span></p></blockquote><p></p><p><b><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Summary </span></b></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><span> </span>Lately, I've been using Yahoo search to get away from Chrome, yet the results and features have been lacking for all I need. Often I would have to switch between Google and Yahoo to get the results I needed, etc. Now, I get better results with Presearch and can use whatever search engine needed without any hassle, I can search and then look at the results in multiple searches without having to search for the term in each of them, and my searching is private and not being monetized by big tech. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><span> </span>In addition to the great features and usability, I'm now getting paid to search and refer people to the search engine. Referring my readers to this quality search engine is a no-brainer because I sincerely think it's a great alternative to Google and others of the same type.

Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops. <br />-------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />Gideon's Army (a.k.a. Year of Jubile) is a special prison ministry effort powered by the commandment to love one another and to not forget our brothers and sisters in bonds, as if we too were in bonds. Rudy and Erin Davis organically started this ministry effort from their desire and call to help those suffering from blatant injustice within the prison system of the U.S. and beyond. <br /><br />Each Saturday morning, members of Gideon's Army meet on a phone call to read the Bible, pray, shine light upon, call attention to, and make noise about unjustly incarcerated prisoners. Gideon’s Army also has a main website called YearOfJubile.com (a.k.a. IHateTheFBI.com); they also have YouTube, BitChute, and Facebook channels by the name of Lonestar1776.<br /><br />People can also listen to the recorded weekly call later on their video channels. Also, to note, they have a monthly update video and a weekly Friday email newsletter. <br /><br />From their home state of Texas, Rudy conducts the weekly call with Bible readings and teachings, prisoner updates, prayers, and discussions from those on the hour-long call. With over 40+ prisoners they are actively helping, there are many people on the call that are family and friends, giving updates and support to each other. Just last week, everyone was overjoyed to hear about one of the political prisoners the ministry was helping being pardoned by Pres. Trump, that is, former congressman and <a href="https://yearofjubile.com/steve">political prisoner Steve Stockman</a>.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJJoYQFIftVm1lU-iA09h8-lEzeJfM2GJn1QAvVBC-8gAaK4udx44up6rLGJRszW4n_3kJHFH7vNVWCwKRFq74bxQp6W6wJkVLyGXQWVPMp4tm5fIVSfG8ih0d4E3Ih0pUm5KouppU_WKX/s2048/Rudy_Erin2.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJJoYQFIftVm1lU-iA09h8-lEzeJfM2GJn1QAvVBC-8gAaK4udx44up6rLGJRszW4n_3kJHFH7vNVWCwKRFq74bxQp6W6wJkVLyGXQWVPMp4tm5fIVSfG8ih0d4E3Ih0pUm5KouppU_WKX/s320/Rudy_Erin2.jpg" /></a><div><br /></div><div>Rudy Davis and his wife Erin are faithful to the Holy Bible in its inspired form, the KJV 1611 AV, as they help and support political prisoners and unjustly incarcerated Americans. They center their ministry around their genuine faith in Jesus Christ, which I truly appreciate, as well as their labor of love for the innocent and unjustly sentenced U.S. citizens languishing behind bars in this wicked system full of hate, violence, corruption, and lies -- many of whom are our brothers and sisters in the Christian faith.<br /><br />Gideon’s Army is taking action to help those who don't have a voice in this often blatantly unjust system we have allowed to encroach on our daily and personal lives. The tares among the wheat are concentrated in the legal and law enforcement fields (criminal justice system). The secret societies rule those fields and are molding them according to their nefarious underhanded agenda for the world and America. Of course, many are being unjustly treated in the process of this agenda against freedom and liberty.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCdy25ADZPIZ8zUKpo7Y5ZMDlilhyphenhyphenh_gsiClyFXbKVq8MqMHRpWmaE6SwB2aBgpxM0wDkQhviw2jl-IeliY6sGsJ856WP98iiaJo6MXsGdPaYdKFsqEcClHz_s6Oi7MNL6e0w0s8KUe81Y/s1800/Rudy_Erin.jpeg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCdy25ADZPIZ8zUKpo7Y5ZMDlilhyphenhyphenh_gsiClyFXbKVq8MqMHRpWmaE6SwB2aBgpxM0wDkQhviw2jl-IeliY6sGsJ856WP98iiaJo6MXsGdPaYdKFsqEcClHz_s6Oi7MNL6e0w0s8KUe81Y/s320/Rudy_Erin.jpeg" /></a><br /><br />Rudy and his wife Erin have dedicated a significant part of their "semi-retired lives" to giving prisoners a voice and the support they need to stay strong in very trying circumstances. They take collect calls from prisoners, record them, and then place them on their video channels, as well as taking written letters and testimonies and placing them in DropBox accounts for the prisoners. Essentially, they are giving a voice to the voiceless, sounding the alarm about injustices, and lifting their cases up before God for ultimate justice to be done. <br /><br /></div><div>Gideon’s Army is a sincere Christian ministry on the frontlines of this spiritual battle for the souls and lives of God's creation, humans. Specifically, the underserved area of prison ministry for the innocent and unjustly incarcerated citizens of America. Mostly, these come in the form of political prisoners -- the result of a systematic takedown of any and all opposition against the rulers of evil -- remember, all roads lead to Rome.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAEslsr_elzozyhBrchA3DqQCOSGMsMKEEsbx6PVL2VjB0KC-BAMrk13MvQjkkE3k5FhiEDC5-VPDKqq0saWWn0uNRvKRt44rp2UHqbuwwCht7GPQG3ZNkFyynVod1W6wHJNqrcj5A5jyr/s194/Schaeffer+cox.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAEslsr_elzozyhBrchA3DqQCOSGMsMKEEsbx6PVL2VjB0KC-BAMrk13MvQjkkE3k5FhiEDC5-VPDKqq0saWWn0uNRvKRt44rp2UHqbuwwCht7GPQG3ZNkFyynVod1W6wHJNqrcj5A5jyr/s0/Schaeffer+cox.jpg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>My wife and I came across this ministry a few years ago because of the case of Schaeffer Cox, which is the case that moved Gideon’s Army into action. Their website has a massive amount of information about this case if you are interested. The website also has detailed information about the other prisoners they are helping, including their prison address, dates of incarceration and release, reasons for incarceration, and any media related to each case.<br /><br />What stands out with this ministry is Rudy and Erin’s reliance on their faith in Jesus Christ and the Holy Bible. Their focus isn’t on using the system to help these prisoners, rather, using God’s help through prayer, fasting, and intercession. Essentially, they recognize that the Beast system we are dealing with cannot be relied upon for justice, so instead of focusing on using lawyers and paperwork, they ask God to intervene, as they work to support prisoners, shed light on darkness, and implore Christians to support their brothers and sisters in bonds however we can. <br /><br />Another exceptional quality of this ministry is the humility Rudy and Erin have, while not compromising with evil. Their fearless and dedicated attitude is fueled by the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth. This includes exposing the current fake pandemic for what it is, a tactic by the New World Order to further destroy liberty, justice, and our God given rights. <br /><br />With Americans being locked down, forced to close our businesses, and forced to wear facemasks, we can see how close we all are to being put into prison -- all under the pretense of our government protecting us from the seasonal flu, or a flu they created and injected into people with the last rounds of flu shots before the pandemic, etc. This should make all sincere Christians take notice, that we too can be and are being unjustly treated and even imprisoned for no good reason. <br /><br />The truth is, there are many innocent Christian brothers and sisters in prison for political reasons, including the personal vendetta of wicked judges and prosecutors getting away with crime after crime in the name of justice and law! While these wicked people will ultimately reap what they sow, for now, they are destroying those who are good and ruining the fabric of our liberty in America. For this, we Christians should not be silent about these injustices.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiAJU025ekzpFTtD2D0fseAvHjlDujK2mngYr6IanWorGmS_EI99h70Bpz1UFgtCxFHho8BHihXKeowmN7KIDk_YaQgMv7WAuC1ZJfTh2vwfW16eX7pe7puBcWYlEZYKidOGEv_5TgxOKF/s2048/Rudy3.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiAJU025ekzpFTtD2D0fseAvHjlDujK2mngYr6IanWorGmS_EI99h70Bpz1UFgtCxFHho8BHihXKeowmN7KIDk_YaQgMv7WAuC1ZJfTh2vwfW16eX7pe7puBcWYlEZYKidOGEv_5TgxOKF/s320/Rudy3.jpg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Gideon’s Army in the Bible was small yet fearless, inconsequential to the large forces they faced, yet victorious because of God’s helping hand. In other words, while those who stand by the truth and expose lies may be small in America, with God we are powerful and victorious in the end.

<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br />(Update 10/17/20: the year of the coronavirus hoax has included the widespread communistic censoring and purging of the truth on social media platforms, notably YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook. YouTube is likely the biggest deal, as truthful independent journalists on the platform directly compete with the mainstream media propaganda machine. The illusion they must maintain can not be seen through if they are to be successful in their nefarious and clandestine goals. </span><div><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">With that said, this article takes on new meaning during this information war for our minds in America and the world. For this, I'm revising it to add 4 new video sharing platforms which are good alternatives to YouTube. Also, I'm expressing my disdain for any platform that censors the truth and propagates lies, therefor, am moving away from YouTube for viewing and content creation, while still posting there until I too am censored and kicked off the platform.)</span></div><div><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Original article:</span></div><div><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br />Creating video, music, and podcast content to share on YouTube is a good idea, as it's the 2nd most popular website in the world and the US, and <a href="https://merchdope.com/youtube-stats/" target="_blank">by far the most popular social video platform online</a>, yet creators can also syndicate their content to other social video platforms to get more views and online traction. Let’s discuss the benefits of syndication and examine 7 social video platforms to syndicate content with. <br /><br />Syndication isn’t something I’ve been doing for very long; in fact, I only committed to the idea a few months ago when trying to expand my online network. This means I wasn’t using this method for the first 4 or 5 years of my blogging and YouTube efforts. <br /><br /><a href="https://www.searchenginejournal.com/content-syndication-basics/263415/" target="_blank">Syndication can be a powerful way to bring attention to a creator’s content, website, and channel</a>. The impact of syndicated content depends on the popularity of the platforms, how many followers a creator has on them, and the content itself.<br /><br />The downside of syndication is the time it takes to manage and publish content on multiple platforms. This can be streamlined in some cases, yet it still takes time and effort to create a profile, learn the ropes, and build a community with each platform. <br /><br />Unless a creator is super popular on one platform and can drive followers over to the others, or their content is more palatable for a larger audience, then building up followers on each syndicated platform is a long-term strategy. Yet, even without followers, the main metric to note is Views; the syndicated content must get enough views to make it worthwhile.<br /><br />With that said, I wanted to share 11 social video platforms creators can use to make their home base and/or syndicate their content with. The numbers in the parentheses are the website’s Alexa rankings. Also, they’re listed in order of my preference.</span><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h2>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">1. YouTube (#2 world, #2 US)</span></h2>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /><br />I started my main YouTube channel Feb. 24, 2011, and have since started 3 more channels. With only 144 subscribers on my main and 59 on the one associated with this blog, I’m not a YouTube sensation by any means. Regardless, I appreciate all 50,000 or so views my 60 or so videos have received. <br /><br />YouTube does censor and repress certain channels and topics, yet, overall, it still offers creators the best place to upload their video content. Their live feature can also be used to gain more views and subscribers.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /> </span><br />
<h2>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">2. BitChute (#7,600 world, #3,276 US)</span></h2>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /><br />Don’t let the sorta high rankings fool you, this social video platform offers creators a great place to syndicate their content. For some reason, many of my syndicated videos on BitChute outperform my YouTube videos. <br /><br />So far, after two months, I’ve uploaded 16 videos, gained 6 subscribers, had two comments, and received 1,040 views. This is all bonus engagement from syndicating my content; also, I’ve spent very little time here building my account. <br /><br />As for monetization, they do give creators a money badge on their videos so people can support them through PayPal, etc. Also, there are no limitations on the number of uploads for creators.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h2>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">3. Daily Motion (#134 world, #194 US)</span></h2>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /><br />Although my experience with Daily Motion hasn’t been great so far, it’s a very popular video platform in the world and US, making it a solid place to syndicate video content.<br /><br />Creators can upload unlimited videos, yet they must be under 60 minutes long. There’s also a monetization program when videos are embedded on other sites.<br /><br />The problems I have with DM is the limited functionality of the profile, glitches and errors with uploads, and the lack of engagement.<br /><br />For me, so far, it’s a toss-up on whether this site is worth the time and effort it takes to syndicate, as many of the uploads fail and the 2 videos I did manage to get up have only received 9 total views -- and no followers so far.<br /><br />Still, even with my poor start here, I believe there’s a lot of potential with Daily Motion, as <a href="https://expandedramblings.com/index.php/dailymotion-facts-statistics/" target="_blank">it does get 300 million visitors and 3.5 billion views each month</a>. </span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h2>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">4. Vimeo (#142, #98 US)</span></h2>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /><br />Even more popular than Daily Motion, Vimeo is another solid place creators can syndicate their content. The downside is any significant use comes with a monthly cost for data storage; free accounts come with 5GB storage, yet when creators use more than this they’ll pay anywhere from $7 to $75/month (billed annually) for an upgraded account -- Plus gives 250 GB/year, Pro 1TB/year…<br /><br />Vimeo is a quality site, yet is used more by established brands to showcase music videos, stories, etc. Basically, this site requires creators to spend at least $84/year to get the functions (stats) and storage needed to really build it.<br /><br />So far, I’ve uploaded two videos and generated one play and no followers, and I think the one play was me. Vimeo has lots of potential, yet may require an investment to really benefit from.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h2>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">5. Brighteon (#34k world, #9k US)</span></h2>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /><br />I just heard about this video platform a week or so ago from an article on <i>Natural News</i>. The article shared a playlist on Brighteon about the dangers of vaccines, which YouTube won’t allow on their platform. Already, this is a good sign for creators who like to speak the truth uncensored. <br /><br />The rankings are decent considering it’s a newer platform and the layout is user-friendly, yet the creator’s profiles are limited, with no description, about page, or links. This is a good platform for videos that YouTube and other platforms may censor, as it has a conservative, freedom of speech theme to it.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h2>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">6. DTube (#35k world, #16k US)</span></h2>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /><br />This is another video platform outside the box of YouTube, Vimeo, and Daily Motion. Its rankings are similar to Brighteon, which means good enough to generate some decent views with syndication. <br /><br />What makes DTube different than the others on this list is it’s built on the blockchain system, namely STEEM blockchain. This crypto-decentralized video platform is ad-free and gives creators a chance to earn cryptocurrency. <br /><br />I haven’t yet started using DTube yet, although, I’ve started an account at Steemit and Minds.com, which run on the same alternative money incentive. It may take a little research and study to understand how the blockchain works, yet in the meantime, creators can use this site to syndicate their video content and gain views.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h2>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">7. Live Leak (#1,685 world, #770 US)</span></h2>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /><br />Last, but not least, is Live Leak, a lively video platform creators can use to syndicate their content and gain extra views. This platform is geared towards news and politics, yet has topics for almost anything creators want to upload.<br /><br />The functionality of the site is somewhat archaic and limited, yet users do get a nice profile section with live links and a description. They also allow creators to have a donate button on their profile and videos, and they give a decent amount of stats.<br /><br />My experience on Live Leak is short and not so sweet. The <a href="https://www.liveleak.com/view?t=C5NHs_1544661905" target="_blank">first video I “leaked” went nearly viral</a>, gaining over 600 views and 30 comments in the first two hours. The problem was it was stirring up a lot of anger toward me and the topic, which was about Trump Deceiving Futurist Christians (Evangelicals). <br /><br />Well, eventually, I earned more down votes than good votes and was basically doomed from there. The next day I downloaded another video, yet noticed it wasn’t working right. Soon after I wasn’t able to sign in again, as my username and password would just sign me in as a guest. My profile and two videos are still there, yet no-one can comment on them, the Trump video now has nearly 1,100 views. <br /><br />This can be a really good site for syndicating content if creators can make it past the community test, which is made up of a mixed bag of lively characters, to say the least.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><b>8. LBRY/Odysee (LBRY #6,633 world, #8,903 US/ Odysee #48,488 world, #1,372 France)</b> </span></div><div><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://odysee.com/$/invite/@RobbieLowdown0:a" target="_blank">Odysee</a> is a site created by <a href="https://lbry.tv/$/invite/@RobbieLowdown0:a" target="_blank">LBRY</a>, both are great video sharing platforms. LBRY is a cryptocurrency as well, which is used on these sites to reward creators. If you have an account with one, you'll have it with the other. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">While I don't claim to understand the decentralization platforms, but LBRY is one of those with its desktop version that's downloaded to your computer. It also has a web version LBRY.tv which mirrors the site. They then recently created Odysee.com which has a slightly different design and functionality, as it isn't run by the blockchain? Yet, it is the same site basically. Confusing to the beginner in blockchain technology, but easy to use with a friendly design. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Personally, I find Odysee to run faster and think this site along with LBRY will rival YouTube very soon. YouTube creators can sync their videos and channels over to LBRY/Odysee very easily. </span></div><div><br /></div><div><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><b>9. 3Speak (#789k world, #137k India)</b></span></div><div><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">This is another blockchain video sharing platform that goes along with HIVE.blog, which is an offshoot of Steemit. They quarreled about centralization or decentralization and the purist blockchain decentralist users split off and created HIVE, and 3Speak is the video sharing platform that goes with it. I believe creators can earn HIVE crypto while sharing here. </span></div><div><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><b>10. altCensored (#205k world, #83k US)</b> </span></div><div><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.bitchute.com/channel/tj99AwcN3zlH/" target="_blank">The Crowhouse channel</a>, which was censored from YouTube, told me about this site and 3Speak. While lacking in functionality and design compared to YouTube, it is a good site with solid numbers and worth syndicating to if have the time. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><b>11. Rumble (#967 world, #313 US)</b></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">This is probably the fastest-growing video-sharing platform out there, spurred on by the censorship of YouTube and the site's user-friendly and professional design. Users here get rumbles instead of thumbs up, which is where it gets the name. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">After only uploading 3 videos I already have hundreds of views and rumbles, so you can get good traction here for videos. They also offer creators more options when it comes to royalties, as they offer to syndicate content on other channels with exclusive rights, or creators can simply keep their rights and upload their videos only to Rumble. Overall, this is best alternative to YouTube I've found. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<h2>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Conclusion</span></h2><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br />These 11 social video platforms to syndicate content with can be used by creators to expand their networks and gain online traction. Although it does take time to build and syndicate video content, creators will benefit from gaining an expanded audience and generating more views. Most of these social video platforms also have monetization capabilities.<br /><br />This list is just what I’ve found, there very well might be others I didn’t list; readers are welcome to leave them in the comments. There are also other syndication strategies, such as putting videos in an article and syndicating them with article/blogging platforms, social media live videos, and online publications. </span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Just remember, we all have to start from somewhere and everyone’s path is different. The important part is keeping the right perspective and not allowing the online world to consume our real lives. As for Christians, this means praying and asking God for guidance with all our online efforts. </span><br />

<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>tellwut, Tell What You Think!<br /> <br /> Although you won’t get rich with this site, it’s a nice, easy, interesting, and fun site to make about $20 every 3 months. Maybe you could do better. The site is called Tellwut, check it out, and make it a community if you want. I’m not as active there except to come in and out to vote in about 5 polls a day. </div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 11pt; margin-top: 0pt;">That works out to about .25 cents/day or $7.50/month, but there are times when I take a day off and /or they restrict me every once in two weeks to only .05 cents/day. <br /><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 11pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> Tellwut is a fun and legit survey site in the form of polls, of which anyone can vote in, comment in, and make a few cents with in the meantime. There’s a lot of interaction in the comments, and controversial or popular polls are tweeted and commented on by hundreds if not thousands, I don’t know about the social function there, except some observations over the est. 2 years of my time working there. <br /><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 11pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> They do have a referral program, but it only pays about .05 cents per referral. Hey, better than nothing, they have upgraded to <a href="http://www.tellwut.com/guard/register/?refer=Lowdown0">include a link option</a> now in addition to the email invite option. <br /><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 11pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> Back when I first got paid I was sent a money order to my physical residence, in order to verify my account and get paid. After this initial mail payment, they’ve been solid with sending me the e-gift card or PayPal cash. I usually go with the Amazon credit with Tellwut cause it works for me and the reward is cheaper to buy with points. <br /><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 11pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> The topics and questions to vote on pay usually 5 or 10 points, sometimes they flip us a 25 point survey to feed us a bit. The goal for me is to get to 4000 points, which gets me a $20 Amazon gift card. Considering it takes only about 5 minutes every morning I consider it a solid egg in the proverbial online money making basket. <br /><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 11pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> Hope this helps, and if you join, become a friend, username: Lowdown0 <br /> <br /> Originally published <a href="https://qr.ae/TUhqPI">on Quora Nov. 19th, 2018</a> <br />

Added to the space being smaller than regular showers, the water pressure can be very low. Then add in the hot water tank is only around 10 gallons, and you're looking at a trying experience. Just to note, the 5th wheel we used to live in only had a 7-gallon hot water tank.<br /><br />Maybe you're all too familiar with this experience, and have all but accepted that's how it is. If you're like my wife and me, then you either live in your RV permanently now or have in the past (us). We endured our fledgling shower situation for years, thinking we could do little to improve on it. Hindsight is all too clear, and in this case, it was no different.<br /><br /> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NPO5I1Y">Here's a short eBook I wrote</a><br /> <br /> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NPO5I1Y"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqpXj9GiQja_0DXYCo0kGsU52nJeIq-0egFHllEDI_ScYthcgdyE6kgZe02hEzVky55eugYE7qmquz75XMqKQGYpZ4A8_FAj7yYAUWiM4BXSij-E_NlPqUyvX9ZDiB1Lwog96RC_LZV1A/s320/RV+ebook2.JPG" /></a> <br /> <br /> <br /> RV Living is Harold Dog-Friendly<br /> <br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0gUi6SWaBeZKJP9pvt_rTMCulfImIbrH_s5plVuvNTKiWLwNJyWqgGsFZ9wr_mmB27shdiLlfCDFdllnzQBB3v7BJRptQE46BBcjlxiqvJaFOz2HXVyR1HVsy7XOgMTqEHr9cN_Qcqyo/s1600/14+-+11.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0gUi6SWaBeZKJP9pvt_rTMCulfImIbrH_s5plVuvNTKiWLwNJyWqgGsFZ9wr_mmB27shdiLlfCDFdllnzQBB3v7BJRptQE46BBcjlxiqvJaFOz2HXVyR1HVsy7XOgMTqEHr9cN_Qcqyo/s320/14+-+11.jpg" /></a> <br /> <br /><h3 style="text-align: left;"> What Changed? </h3> <br />Finally, the faucet went belly up and I had to investigate. I'm no expert at these kinds of fixes, so I didn't know how to remove the faucet. Turns out you have to go from behind the tub in the space in the wall. That's where you can unhook the water pipes and unscrew the fasteners to take off the faucet all in one piece.<br /><br />Well, after fiddling with the old nasty faucet, I broke a piece and this led us to make a special trip to the local RV store. This RV store has a gentleman that patiently helped us through many novice questions over the years. He didn't disappoint and we walked out of there with the ProBody Oxygenics showerhead and a new snazzy faucet!<br /><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;"> The Results </h3> <br />We went all out and got the nicest showerhead in the store, and we picked out the faucet that we liked the look of instead of the cheapest one. These purchases turned out to be well worth the money spent.<br /><br />After I hurriedly hooked up the new faucet and shower head with a seeming air of confidence, I took the plunge and took an experimental shower. Now, let me tell you... it was great! <br /> <br /> Maybe because we were simply deprived for so long the improvement was made that much more enjoyable, but either way - the results were fantastic. Now, realize I mean deprived in a relative way, of course, I realize Americans have come to expect a different standard of comfort (especially with showers).<br /><br />Nevertheless, the shower experience has transformed from dread to eagerness to get in. The shower last longer, has much more pressure, the spray is much more all-encompassing, and hey it just looks better.<br /><br />If you're interested in improving your shower experience, then spend the $80 or so to get the shower head and the faucet both! It's worth it, even if you are just a weekend warrior. The pressure and the longevity were much improved.<br /><br />And check out my ebook above called The Benefits of RV Living for more information on how RV living could change your life for the better.<br /> <br /> Check it out for yourself with this review I made:<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

This had nothing to do with our car, clothes, or reputation either, as we drove in with our 1991 Plymouth Duster with oxidated paint and a radiator that would boil over with enough miles -- truly, it was a miracle we even made it from western Oregon to Billings, Montana for the conference in the first place.<br /> <br /> Well, there was a good reason for our going; not only did we get to learn valuable information about the deliverance ministry, have blessed Christian fellowship, and be able to visit my brother and family, but as my wife and I both understand now, God wanted us to meet this man and make a divine connection that would change our lives for the better.<br /> <br /> Pastor Pinson went on to deliver some powerful sermons, <a href="http://www.recoveringthechurch.org/free-worship-music/">sing with his wonderful melodic voice and own songs</a>, and pray for the people there.<br /> <br /> He ended up even praying for me, although I was reticent about getting into the prayer line, when I did his prophetic words over me in prayer were very powerful, encouraging, and life-changing. <br /><br /> Instead of getting into those prophetic words though, I wanted to write this article to share this wonderful ministry with my readers here and on the <a href="https://www.patreon.com/lowdown0">Lowdown0 Network</a>.<br /> <br /> The main attributes I can highlight when it comes to this ministry is that Pastor Pinson and Riffle are not respecters of persons, they are very humble people, and they only want God's will to be done in their lives -- the Holy Spirit is very much honored and followed in this ministry.<br /> <br /> Another important aspect of Recovering the Church ministry is the subject matter of Pinson's book called: Recovering the Church From Haggar's Tent, and is the first words you'll see on their website:<br /> <br /> "Recovering the church to God's original intention"<br /> <br /> I've read the book and agree with its conclusions and remedies, which are simply turning back to the Lord by obeying his inspired word and trusting in Him instead of man's devices.<br /> <br /> Specifically, talking about the modern evangelical, prosperity church mentality that's prevalent in our society; instead of looking towards God, pastors are looking towards money and worldly solutions to build and grow the church, rather than towards God in truth, faith, and sincerity.<br /> <br /> A good place to follow this ministry is their <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTygjXYkigjVptIkhBqRzzQ/videos?shelf_id=0&view=0&sort=dd">YouTube channel</a> where they post around 2-3 sermons and teachings every week from the church's pulpit in Texas; specifically, their church is located in Peerless, Texas, which is a small town in the northeast -- hardly on the map. <br /><br /> Pastor Pinson also preaches at the <a href="http://lhbconline.com/nickie-pinson/">Lake Hamilton Bible Camp</a> regularly, ministers to prisoners and the homeless people in the larger cities nearby, and has built a home called <a href="http://www.recoveringthechurch.org/the-shiloh-house/">the Shilo House</a> where people can come and stay if they need help.<br /> <br /> Personally, this ministry is one of the few my wife and I follow diligently, listening to their weekly sermons, reading his daily emails, and even calling them when in need of counsel. <br /><br /> His sermons are not easy on those who want to play church or love the world, yet this is exactly the type of message we need in these days full of compromise and confusion.<br /> <br /> This ministry is a gem in the rough for those who find it; I encourage readers to listen to the sermons, read the books, listen to his songs (on his website), and support them through prayer and donations if can.<br /> <br /> God works mightily with this man of God and through this small church in the middle of nowhere Texas, and it's been one of the most blessed gifts my wife and I've been given in our Christian walk to meet Pastor Pinson and be part of this wonderful and anointed ministry of Jesus Christ.<br /> <br /> Pastor Pinson is also the <a href="http://www.recoveringthechurch.org/available-books/">author of multiple books</a> that can be purchased from his website. <br /> <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.recoveringthechurch.org/">Recovering the Church website</a> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTygjXYkigjVptIkhBqRzzQ/videos?shelf_id=0&view=0&sort=dd">Nickie Pinson YouTube Channel </a> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="https://visitor.r20.constantcontact.com/manage/optin?v=001puAAwu3rZaWYJ8h4FYNSytZ6FdhihKXNmsYb8fZuF1x1AwVhw8bXzyp0B2b7Z8hKiqWtqnVBfMrICLR6XTFI7H8ntuFe0wgGJtW7LxFlg9ZFABW0ZlgNJH3alYFhWCGZWrq1AJJzUGp5kIzh7xEPwuQc2Lx_krHj8K2Y90MjXmA%3D">Recovering the Church's Email List</a><br /> <br /><br />Originally published at <a href="https://jesuslovesministry.blogspot.com/2018/10/ministry-spotlight-recovering-church.html">Jesus Loves Ministry</a> Oct. 30, 2018<br />

On Sept. 9th the government was taken over by a Russian regime and the country became dominated by the Bulgaria Communist Party.<br /><br />In 1946 the communist came to full power with the apathy of the West to help otherwise. One year later Haralan Popov was arrested and taken from his family because he was one of the leading Evangelical Pastors in Bulgaria's Christian Church. He was to spend 13 years being tortured for his faith, and only by God's grace was he able to survive and live to write this book to tell what happened.<br /><br />Pastor Popov was released in 1961, and <a href="https://amzn.to/2M8zZKM">Tortured For His Faith</a> came out in 1970 for the first time after he and his family moved to America to found the: Evangelism to Communist Lands Ministry ( now called Door of Hope International).<br /><br />Bulgaria was freed from communism in 1989, a year after the death of Haralan Popov. He died of complications due to cancer while living in California. A month before his death, he was allowed to visit his home church in Glasnost, Bulgaria where he pastored 26 years before.<br /><h3 style="text-align: left;"> The Initial Questioning</h3> Haralan takes us through the beginning of the communist occupation of Bulgaria and how the authorities were dealing with the leaders of the church specifically. He and other leading pastors were called in and questioned about their views about the regime.<br /><br />Trouble began to become inevitable for Haralan and the other pastors when they would not obey the regime over their God. It was clear that all liberty and freedom to practice their religion was being taken, and the only way to not be killed or imprisoned was to do exactly what they said, which was against the Bible.<br /><br />The uncompromising love for Jesus Christ, Haralan and many other Christians had during this restructuring of the Bulgarian church by the atheistic powers of communism, is what led to him being jailed. One night some men came to take him away from his terrified family, and this began his nightmare.<br /><br /><br /><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/NyfWl9FfZsX7Z2ZkaomcQN7kJqPbwVQSx-AVf99asOwNsh_NUTiUgerr62o5Aw1qDj3ExRybjaMhTaveq8GALWlcvPUo6vGXqggEThenfM0CVDWDdlqNOTymsRqScLxDvbNz9Abc" /> <br /> cc from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/">http://en.wikipedia.org<br /><br /></a><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/v1rxX-O0eJzRXptHsiAYSuZ-eP3KesdXXLx1OVNwrfEZLEo_0CVGAk4g2MnfuaiqwspH_tPp9vuCDJyjLMo6SqlQ-MYZHO_ToZ0oSdaS60nx6HJpN577FvO3jSBNnPc2F3pJfRJr" /><br />cc from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/">http://en.wikipedia.org</a> <br /><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;"> The White House</h3> <br /> This book is a smaller mass market paperback of 146 pages, but it is rich in its description of a true story that in unbelievable and unimaginable to most who read it. Whether you are a Christian or not, you should be able to appreciate a man who suffered so greatly for his convictions in his faith in God. Therefor, this book is a must read for humanity at large.<br /><br />The book describes many different stages of his imprisonment including a trial in which he was convicted of being a spy for the Imperial Western powers of the US and Britain. This charge led to him being sentenced to 13 years in harsh prisons with only the hand of God keeping him alive.<br /><br />Harlan at first denied this charge for months while they tortured him day and night. He goes on to describe how they would use different techniques that in the end through trials that defy a humans ability to endure, he finally stated, yes - he was a spy. In the book, he describes that he wasn't brainwashed, but his will was broken. The difference was important, as he refused to be brainwashed through years subsequent to this admitting he was a spy.<br /><br />The communist took Haralan to what was called the White House, this was a place specifically meant to torture and break the will of the prisoners. Many prisoners were killed there and horrible things happened in the darkness there. Haralan describes the conditions of the inability to sleep because of the swarms of bed bugs, but he wasn't allowed to sleep most of the time anyway. As he was kept up for even weeks at a time, standing up holding himself up against a wall with his fingers. If he moved or shut his eyes, the communist guards would hit him hard in the head.<br /><br />The beatings and threats were constant, and the prisoners were fed what he called a death diet. It consisted of only enough to keep them alive, but slowly dying of malnutrition and hunger. Mostly it was a small piece of dirty bread and water "soup."<br /><br />With guns put to his head in dark hallways, fellow cellmates turned spies, sleep deprivations, and constant beatings, Haralan kept his faith and talked to the Lord the whole time. Not knowing how his family was doing, this time was the initial hell that the main pastors of Bulgaria really went through.<br /><br />The communist didn't want Haralan dead, because they wanted to use his influence to ruin the moral of the other Christians who weren't obeying the regime. The communist were smart enough to try to manipulate the people into thinking their leaders couldn't resist, so they shouldn't either. They had put puppet pastors in the State-run churches and spies were telling the communist if there were any Bible studies outside of the controlled church.<br /><br />The trail came months after their initial arrests. All but one of the couple handfuls of pastors confessed under their duress and torture that they were spies and were either sentenced to long prison sentences or put to death. Haralan's brother who had no wife or kids was able to endure the torture enough to resist this confession and thus was sentenced with 5 years in prison for some trumped up charge they basically made up.<br /><br />This was the harsh beginning of this long journey into darkness for Popov and many others who would not deny the faith.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.dohi.org/">Door of Hope International</a> ( Haralan Popov's Ministry he first started as Evangelism to Communist Lands)<div><h3 style="text-align: left;"> The Horrible Story Unfolds</h3> This review is obviously not going to capture all the many details the book gives describing the experience he went through during this time. You'll have to get the book to find out just how much this man and those around him endured. I'll try to recap the best I can the rest of the book.<br /><br />Haralan was moved from prison to prison, each had their different difficulties. The Persin prison was the worst. The scene he depicts there was one where human life was no longer valuable at all. This was a hard labor camp that suffered many harsh conditions and Haralan witnessed many people die horrible needless cruel deaths.<br /><br />For example, he witnessed a man get beaten so bad his eyeball popped out of his head. There were many people who were simply shot at random just to keep the other prisoners frightened and under complete submission. Many died of being to weak to go on, others killed because they bent down to eat a piece of grass and were shot. The tragedies are countless in this book.<br /><br />The real story through this horrible nightmare being recounted by Popov is his faith and service to God even in these dark times. His faith grew and he called out to Jesus many times and was answered by supernatural rescues. As the story unfolds, you'll see yourself that it's a miracle he survived, when many times he was on the verge of death and he escaped. God knew he was to write this book and lead many to Christ in his life and kept him alive.<br /><br /><br /><img src="https://usercontent2.hubstatic.com/9191875.jpg" /><br /> cc from <a href="http://commons.wikimedia.com/">http://commons.wikimedia.com</a><h3 style="text-align: left;"> Haralan Preaches In Prison and Out of It</h3> Can you imagine 13 years of this dismal torturous existence? And if you're a Christian, can you imagine not having a Bible for that long? Haralan talks about that being one of the hardest things he had to endure.<br /><br />Haralan was heard by God praying for a Bible one day, and lo and behold, a cellmate somehow had one in his hand one random day after his prayer. His cellmate was using it to roll tobacco to smoke or as toilet paper. Haralan somehow talked the guy into giving him the Bible. He went on to memorize 46 chapters or so before the Bible was taken. This gave him the Words he needed to preach with even more strength and conviction to the other prisoners. <br /><br />Pastor Popov in the later part of his sentence had a calling to preach to everyone he could while in the prisons. He was able to help save many people when they came to believe in Jesus Christ as their savior because of his preaching in those torturous conditions. He brought light unto his fellow cellmates, many of which were political prisoners like himself.<br /><br />In the end, Haralan said he wouldn't change a thing, cause it was worth all of it to save all the souls he reached in those horrible days of his life. What helped him gain confidence to preach even more fearlessly was knowing through the prison grapevine that his wife had escaped to her native land of Sweeden with the government of Sweeden's help.<br /><br />After he was finally released after 13 years he made his way home. His family was in shock to see him, thinking they would never see him again. His brother informed him about the repressive state of affairs for the Christians who were supposedly free citizens. There was an underground church that was dangerous to be part of.<br /><br />Haralan nevertheless became one of the leaders of that underground church during the next year or so. His memorization of 46 chapters of the Bible came in handy when there were hardly any Bibles around to read.<br /><br />In the latter part of the book, he describes how the underground church operated away from the repressive eyes of the communistic regime. The church was full of life within those who refused to stop believing and braved the threats and dangers of meeting for worship in secret.<br /><h3 style="text-align: left;"> Conclusion </h3> In the end, the persecuted church in Bulgaria in the early 60's wanted Haralan to leave Bulgaria and join his family in Sweeden. They wanted him to go, so he could get the word out about the need of the persecuted church to get Bibles and help from the free world Christians in America and Europe.<br /><br />Although Haralan didn't want to leave his persecuted country and all of his brothers and sisters in Christ, he eventually did go when God made an impossible move to get him out of the country. The book ends with Haralan in Sweeden with his family. What a sweet reunion, yet sad when he sees his children nearly all grown up since they had seen him last. They were just little children when he was taken that night long ago, now they were adults.<br /><br />Nevertheless, his nightmare was over, but his mission had just begun. Haralan went on to raise awareness for the persecuted church and help his brothers and sisters in Christ with his hard-fought freedom. Writing this book was a large part of this mission, and it is an eye-opener for every Christian and person otherwise, of the enduring spirit of humanity when they have faith in Jesus Christ and the Holy Bible.<br /><br />I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to hear true-life stories and wants to be edified in the Holy Spirit.<br /><br />Although Bulgaria is now free of communism, let's pray for the persecuted Christians in the many lands they are tortured for their faith today. May God protect and strengthen them through their trails, and may they never deny Jesus Christ.<br /> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>

<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"> Most people don't realize it, but CBD is a big reason why cannabis has been legalized in the U.S. for recreational and medical purposes, depending on the state – the entire country of <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/20/health/canada-legalizes-marijuana/index.html" target="_blank">Canada has legalized cannabis</a> for both uses now too.</span><br />

<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"> An article on <i>Medium CBD Origin</i> called: <a href="https://medium.com/cbd-origin/is-cbd-legal-legal-status-of-cbd-2018-d1b4a0ed42df" target="_blank">“Is CBD Legal?

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"> To sum it up, there are two forms of CBD: hemp and cannabis derived. The hemp CBD is legal in all 50 states because it's not considered cannabis, although it still can have up to .3% THC. They say this amount of THC won't get a person high, yet this isn't entirely true, as my experience and other testimonials have proven a person can feel high somewhat, just not as much as when using more THC (cannabis up to 30% THC). Here's one guy's experience smoking .3% THC CBD: </span><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"> See, cannabis and hemp both have a mixture of THC and CBD components in their make up, yet cannabis is the only one that's been criminalized after the NWO's <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reefer_Madness" target="_blank">"Reefer Madness"</a> propaganda in the 30s through the 50s. These components work with each other to provide the medical benefits cannabis and hemp give. The full original 1936 movie:</span><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"> What this means is you can buy CBD products derived from hemp in all 50 states, but when it comes to cannabis derived CBD, the legality gets confusing.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">In 8 states it's legal and in 38 other states it's medically legal with a prescription, and in 4 states it's illegal yet mostly tolerated (see the <i>Medium CBD Origin</i> article mentioned above for more details).</span></div>

<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"> For instance, CBD Pure displayed below is hemp derived, therefor, is legal in all 50 states. Remember with hemp CBD, the amounts of THC is .3% or less, yet some CBD products claim 0% THC (popular to those taking drug tests for work). </span><br />

<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"> Can I Pass a Drug Test Using CBD?</span></h3>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"> The anti-cannabis biased drug tests for employment in America are still a problem (even in the 8 states where cannabis is fully legal) for many people who would like to take CBD instead of chemical prescriptions from Big Pharma.</span><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"> Yet, this doesn't have to be a problem if consumers just buy the hemp derived CBD with 0% THC. In my opinion, this is better than nothing, because <a href="https://hempmedspx.com/cbd-work-without-thc/" target="_blank">there are still health benefits when using CBD without THC</a>.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"> As for passing a drug test, using CBD with .3% THC can very well lead to failing a drug test. Of course, it depends on the amounts taking, yet even the recommended amount has led to some failing their drug test, like the video report shows below:</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yjOJfmTRq2Y/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/yjOJfmTRq2Y?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>

This is causing local governments to take action so they don't lose valuable employees to CBD that doesn't even get people high (not very high at least, very low buzz). </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"> Just in case you didn't know, I'll share a tip for passing a drug test for employment for cannabis users. Drink a product called Certo (Walmart or Amazon) mixed in a large Gatorade bottle 2-4 hours before the test. Although I haven't had to try this yet, I've studied enough testimonials and articles to be convinced it does work. Here's one video testimonial:</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"> Basically, the Certo (liquid fruit pectin) works to block or mask the THC in the pee. Just stop smoking for a day or two before the test and drink the Certo 2-4 hours before the test and will most likely pass, especially, if just using .3% THC CBD, but even when using 30% THC cannabis flower. It's reportedly worked even when smoke the day before. </span><br />

Personally, I believe both sides of the equation are distasteful: worshiping and idolizing cannabis, and being overly and unjustly critical toward cannabis and those who use it.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"> Anyone interested in the truth will see cannabis is a safe and helpful herb for humans and animals to use for medicine; whatever medicine that is for them: depression, pain, cancer, sleep disorder, etc. Understand though, cannabis isn't for everyone, yet this is just a preference, rather than proof it doesn't work. </span></div>

<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Final Thoughts</span></h3>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">I didn't even know about CBD until I saw the aforementioned documentary “Weed” about 3 years ago. I came across this documentary as I was researching the medical benefits of using cannabis, in order to prove to myself that: the modern Christian stance in America, concerning cannabis use being a sin, wasn't based on truth or the Holy Bible, rather propaganda from our <a href="http://thelowdown0.blogspot.com/2018/03/control-power-and-sold-out-american.html#.Wy1dAtJKivE" target="_blank">evil and manipulative rulers</a>, although I think it can be a sin for an individual if abused or idolized.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"> A great article found on <i>Minster Fortsom, </i>called: <a href="http://ministerfortson.com/marijuana-and-the-bible-is-smoking-weed-a-sin/" target="_blank">"Marijuana and The Bible: Is Smoking Weed a Sin?"</a>, really hits the nail on the head if you want to learn more. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"> If you're in a state where cannabis isn't fully legal yet, then hemp CBD might be a good choice for you; this is a better choice than chemical pills from big pharma, <a href="https://www.collective-evolution.com/2017/11/26/one-doctor-out-of-many-explains-how-prescription-drugs-are-killing-us/" target="_blank">many of which have proven to be harmful and even deadly, even with prescribed use</a>. Cannabis is a natural herb the Good Lord placed on earth to help humans and animals get through the suffering and pain the curse of sin and death bring. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"> Just remember, ultimately, we want to go to God in Jesus Christ for our healing and well-being, as Jesus is the source of life itself.

That is, a person catches it easier the next time, and the reaction gets progressively worse.<br /> <br /> For the person that’s gone through weeks, if not months, of dealing with this spreading rash, this progressive thing doesn't sound very promising. The good part is: there’s a product that heals and prevents poison ivy/oak!<br /> <br /> I wish I would've know about this product the first time I got poison ivy; the end result was a visit to the emergency room. Ugh, poison ivy/oak is treacherous and last for months even.<br /> <br /> It wasn’t until a few years later, when I met my wife, when I learned about Tecnu! Since then, I have no fear of poison ivy/oak anymore; even when I catch it, Tecnu easily stops it from growing and heals it completely.<br /> <br /> The name Tecnu doesn’t sound like a lotion for poison ivy/oak, rather an electronic device, yet, nevertheless, this is the stuff that works.<br /> <br /> What I do, personally, is put it on the affected areas, like a lotion, after a shower and when needed. When I had a really bad case of poison ivy/oak and I started using Technu, I put it on about every 5 hours for a couple weeks.<br /> <br /> Even when using this remedy, bad cases will take weeks to heal, and months to completely go away; yet, it stops the poison from spreading immediately and slowly abates the problem from there.<br /> <br /> Although Tecnu doesn’t claim to help itching directly, from my experience it does help some. There’s another effective product by Tech Labs, called Caragel, which relieves itching and pain more directly -- while Tecnu removes the oils and cures the root problem.<br /> <br /> Just wanted to inform my readers about this powerful remedy for poison Ivy/Oak/Sumac.

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Recently, during some research into WW1 for
the first time in-depth, I found and viewed a well done <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzf9aHZmCAM&index=8&list=PLHkR0ydW8Q3WjcXLE_6Jk0EaOHUKBklym" target="_blank">WW1 documentary on YouTube called "To Arms!"</a>. I wanted to share this ten part series and some short thoughts on war. Of course, when I say this documentary is well-done, it does
fall short of explaining the Vatican's central role in the
instigation and creation of this conflict and the horrors she caused. Even so, this documentary is still a quality look at the entire war
from 1914 til 1918.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Here's the first episode of the documentary:</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">

<h3 style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> WW1 Thoughts</span></h3>
<h4 style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Reality Behind the Mask</span></h4>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Most of the soldiers were younger than
30 years old, and most of those under 25. This is often too young to
have a mind yet, to fully think for oneself; I can attest, therefor,
most soldiers were ignorant of: real history, our need for salvation in Jesus Christ, current events,
secret societies, Anti-Christ Papal power, and Satan's devices.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> It took me until 30 to understand
there's a world for show and a reality behind the stage. One thing
controlled opposition does is: fail to tell us about the Vatican's
role in history and the present, as well as prophecy from the Bible.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> What lands of confusion! Full of lies
we've been told for generations. The truth slowly censored and left
out of the Jesuit education, to further their evil agenda. To bring every person under the bondage of the Papacy, in subjection as unbelievers, even if Christian in name. Sincerely believing in the Holy Bible and living it out, will be the crime that can't be tolerated.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> The strong delusion is upon us, the
younger generations are, mostly, ignorant to real history, yet wildly
excited about technology and themselves.
</span></div>
<h4 style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Forgotten War by Most</span></h4>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> WW1 is forgotten by most people alive
today, WW2 is more remembered. The complexity of the beginnings and
the rudimentary camera and photo documentation are, likely, two major reasons why; plus it was 20 years earlier, and there are no WW1
veterans left – Claude Choules, who served in the British Royal
Navy, was the last surviving combat WW1 veteran, he died in May 2011.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> WW1 dealt with a different Europe than
WW2, the map of Europe was different with the: Ottoman Empire,
Austria/Hungary, and Prussia. These were absorbed and broken up into
smaller countries until the next war 20 years later.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> This was the biggest war in recorded
human history, killing nearly 11 million soldiers and 7 million
civilians. One stat said 6,000 people died on average every day
during the four year conflict. Wounded and missing puts the number of
casualties to nearly 40 million soldiers alone. These types of
numbers are the result of emerging modern warfare, including the
machine gun, grenades, flamethrowers, and more as the war progressed:
fighter planes, bombers, tanks, submarines, and better artillery.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Only WW2 surpasses the carnage and
destruction of the first war, yet both were just an extension of the
long conflict in Europe of good vs. evil. In other words, the
Anti-Christ Papacy against all those that oppose its tyrannical and
blasphemous reign. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">These conflicts were orchestrated by the Vatican
and the Jesuits as the brains; it was carried out by those who
created the problem (partly, by the Serbian assassin that "started the war", who was part of a Vatican secret society called: the Black Hand), then finished and taken care of by those who have to solve the
problem (allies); all the while benefiting the Papal powers to be to: get revenge on their enemies and increase their power and control. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> WW1 had to be fought, the Germans had
to be stopped and put in check for their wicked ambitions, even if
these ambitions (along with the means) were planted and watered by
the Vatican and its sly workers of deceit.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> In this war, we can see the transition
from the darkness of an undocumented past into a time where film and
photo can clearly prove the wicked deeds done by the
persecuting Anti-Christ Papacy.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">We can see this exposure of the
Vatican in WW2 as well, both wars show how the Vatican manipulates
the rulers of the world into these conflicts – in a way she's been
doing for around 1500 years now.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> WW2 shows this even better, because of
the improvement of film and camera, such as documenting the Serbian
genocide under the Croatian Ustashi, and the mass murderer of the innocent: Ante Pavelic; this was a genocide that was ran, directed, and done by
the Croatian Monks and Priests, with the blessing of the Vatican and
the Pope. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">They murdered and tortured like they did during the
Inquisition and dark ages, and nearly 1 million innocent, Orthodox, Serbian Christians and Jews were slaughtered by their cruelty and
wickedness.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s03Tv6cWFuc" target="_blank">Documentary on the Serbian Genocide in WW2</a></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> This genocide isn't even spoken of in our
establishment's history lessons, it took me until 37 years old, until I heard of
this atrocity, and that on my own searching and seeking for the truth,
beyond the illusion of the Jesuit filter.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">This period of time shows
the direct link with the Vatican and the Axis powers, which is a big
reason why Vatican 2 council was necessary – to spruce up and
modernize their history for the coming digital information age, where
everyone would have access to see their wickedness.
</span></div>
<h4 style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Real History has been Censored and Suppressed</span></h4>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> They have successfully censored true
Protestant history and eliminated it from our public and private
schools alike, including, even, the main Seventh Day Adventist
Colleges. The infiltration of the agents of evil, have masqueraded
themselves into positions of power, with: money, power, threats, back
stabbings, betrayals, lies, murder, persecution, and other "means to
an end" methods.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Christians, you see, will not stoop so
low to do such unGodly things, therefor, we are like sheep to the
slaughter; yet, God is our Good Shepherd: Jesus Christ – Amen.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">As we look toward Jesus and eternal heaven, the workers of evil look
to take over this world through secret, evil plans. What a contrast,
Christians are trying to save souls and help people have hope, joy,
forgiveness, love, and peace in their lives through faith in Jesus
Christ; and the other group is trying to invent ways to deceive and
take advantage of other peoples' honesty.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> This is why most cannot conceive WW1
being a creation of such men with such evil ambitions. Americans'
realities are formed by the Protestant ideals of yesteryear, yet these intrinsic ideals are
taken for granted as what's always been in history; most are not even close to being aware of the real forces behind the major events in history,
especially, in the last 2,000 years or so.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> WW1 and 2 were merely the continuance
of the conflicts of old, this time with modern warfare and larger
populations; the devastation was the worst the world has ever experienced,
at least since the worldwide flood from God.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">So many people died in
these two wars, the mourning was massive, and the events were traumatizing and severe for all of: Europe, America, Russia, and the entire world that was impacted with
deaths and casualties.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Russia lost the most in both conflicts, please pray for the
precious Russian people to be saved by Jesus Christ. They have been
punished by the Papal powers more than any other country, since the start of WW1, with the Bolshevik Communist revolution; of course, started by the
Papal powers to be, and continued in force with Stalin, the Jesuit trained mass
murderer of the innocent.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The hatred for the Orthodox Christians has
been very severe from the Roman Catholic Harlot Church, much persecution has taken
place since they split from the Anti-Christ during the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East%E2%80%93West_Schism" target="_blank">Great Schism in 1054 A.D</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<h4 style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Summary</span></h4>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> The main point of this article is to
share this documentary of WW1, which is well done and informative for
those interested. The back story of the Vatican's involvement takes
research dedicated to this topic alone.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> These WW1 thoughts are mixed with
spiritual thoughts as well, this because war is a place where the
meaning of life is very important to know. Understanding is at a premium
when faced with: chaos, death, and fear.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">All the millions of men, women, and
children that were killed and laid to rest, are now awaiting the
resurrection of the righteous or the wicked. We can be sure God will be a fair Judge. These were major events
in these last moments in time, wherein the Biblical end days have come.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> It would do us good to pray for those

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> There has to be a catch right? That's
what my wife thought too, when I told her I found a way to make
around $100/month, simply, by streaming videos on my mobile phone and
laptop – while I work at home writing content articles and selling
books on Amazon. The good part is: it's true!</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> My wife was a bit skeptical, mostly,
because about a year ago I was nearly sure I'd found a way to make good (hundreds a month) money from Paid to Click sites.</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Well, renting referrals on PTC sites
(I found out the hard way) just doesn't work, because they're robots
– the game is rigged!</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Yet, this doesn't mean a person can't make
money from getting direct referrals on legit sites like <a href="https://www.neobux.com/?r=lowdown" target="_blank">NeoBux</a> and </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.clixsense.com/?6105596" target="_blank">Clixsense</a>. By the
way, basically, all other PTC sites are scams and will fade away within a year, or
simply not pay... I found this out the hard way, but this article isn't about PTC
sites, rather: survey/offer sites.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">

<h3 style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">4 Survey/Offer Sites to Make Money with by Streaming Videos</span></h3>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Here are the main four sites I stream
videos on to make around $100/month (that's without any referrals, taking surveys, doing offers, etc. – just videos and easy tasks
like daily survey, search, etc.):</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<ul>

</li>
</ul>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Also, I work some other eggs in
the basket where pennies roll in, but they're aren't as good for
streaming videos. These 4 above (really 6 with the apps) are
the best for streaming videos; below I'll explain how I do it.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.inboxdollars.com/?r=ref15740827&s=7" target="_blank"> Inbox Dollars:</a></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> First of all, I have an extra cell
phone, where I stream, exclusively, Inbox Dollars App (website is good for videos too) videos all day. I have
to check on the phone to press continue about once every half an hour
or so. I make around $1.25/day by doing this.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The only other “work”
I do on the website is search four times a day in their browser and enter into
their sweepstakes from the automatic points earned along with the
pennies. I received a check in the mail a few days ago for $29, not
bad, and I was able to prove to my wife (and myself): this idea actually works!</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/Lowdown0" target="_blank"> Swagbucks</a>:</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> When I'm working on my laptop I open a
few windows (these windows are streaming videos now – pennies
rolling in as we speak), and the SB website is one of the windows I open. Click
on the playlists in the watch category and choose videos worth 3
points, check on it every half an hour to an hour.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> The second way I make money here is
with the SBTV mobile App, which I turn on when I wake up and keep
going until they won't let me earn anymore (the earning limits
change). The SB website and the SBTV app can be streaming videos at the same
time and make money cause they're different (can't simply open three
SB windows and stream videos in each...same with these other sites).
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> I also go to the SB website everyday and vote in
their daily poll and do a search about three times; from all this SB “work”,
I make around $1.10/day.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.instagc.com/lowdown" target="_blank"> InstaGC</a>:</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> This is the most automated video
streaming site I've found yet; all I do is click on Earn, then Watch
Videos (this takes me to the InstaGC video playlist), push play, and
then check on it about once every three hours. Everyday, they give me
a 10% bonus for watching videos, which I claim the next day. I make
around .75 cents/day here.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> This site plays the same video playlists found on SB, and pays around the same as well. They also
have a daily poll and a search engine to “work” everyday. I only
use this one after I'm done working for the day, because my computer
bogs down too much when I stream videos in three different windows
and work in the 4<sup>th</sup> with numerous tabs. So, by working this website around 6 hours a day, I make around .50 cents a day.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> These all pay with PayPal as an
option (except for Inbox Dollars), although with InstaGC you have to get $50 worth of gift cards
somewhere (Amazon, Walmart, many others) before can cash out with
PayPal. With Inbox Dollars, options are: a snail mail check, prepaid Visa card, or eGift Card at different places; snail mail check is sent out once a month or something like this, but after the 1st payment the process gets faster and easier (I've yet to get 2nd payout). Swagbucks and MyPoints give PayPal no problem, just takes a
week or so.

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> So, let's tally up how much I'm
making daily:</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.inboxdollars.com/?r=ref15740827&s=7" target="_blank"> Inbox Dollars</a>: $1.25</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/Lowdown0" target="_blank"> Swagbucks</a>: $1.10</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.instagc.com/lowdown" target="_blank"> InstaGC</a>: .75 cents</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.mypoints.com/?rb=31536172" target="_blank"> MyPoints</a>: .50 cents</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Total: $3.60/day times 30 days month =
$108.00/month!</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Not bad, right? This is without even
doing a survey, having any referrals, signing up for offers, or
shopping through these sites – which all can make a person,
potentially, much more money. Really, if a person is industrious
enough with even just these 4 sites mentioned, they could make about
as much as a min. wage job pays or more each month – what a strange
world we live in.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Note to Christians (and everyone), don't
watch these videos, just stream them with the screen down and in
other windows. Most of the videos I can stream are about food,
travel, and non-lewd and non-sexual content, yet there are times when
videos are streaming that aren't good for the eye gate. Also, of
course, turn down the volume and don't listen to them, unless there's
an interesting news or travel piece, etc.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Other than that, I've found a way to
make at least $100/month from just streaming videos from my laptop
and mobile phones! This is just the beginning too, because once I
earn from referrals or learn how to make more from them (shopping
through them on Amazon, rising in levels, surveys, offers, more phones, etc.) –
then I could make hundreds or, even, one thousand a month without doing much at all.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> So, why not sign up through my links
and start making $100/month by simply streaming videos? If you have
any questions press the contact link and email me; if not, then let's
get to “work”, right...God bless online entrepreneurs.</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">After around three dozen jobs in 35
years (without the Internet), I finally found a way to make a living online. The ways I've
found to do this, likely, aren't the most lucrative or easy, but
they're ways that I can sustain long-term. The reason I have
confidence in the ways I've chosen, is because I enjoy doing them.
That's a helpful tip for those seeking to make money
online.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> The Many Possibilities</span></h4>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> There's an entire world online, specifically, around and about making money from home. This means
there are both genuine opportunities to make money and there are
scams.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The scams, generally, appeal to people desperate to get
rich quick and spend no money, time, or effort doing it. This is not
a business minded person, rather a gambler with no resolve or
passions other than simply making money.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b> </b>My first tip is to avoid being
this gambling type of person, rather, find enjoyable ways to make
money online that fit your lifestyle. Also, avoid the lewd, dark, and
pornographic side of the Internet as well.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> There are so many different ways to
make money online, so many possibilities. What can happen to the
newbie trying to navigate this land of opportunity, is they get
overloaded and overextended trying to do too much at once. The
alluring, get rich testimonies and promises, excite people into near
hysteria; get rich quick schemes are never without a catch, though.
Really, there's no substitute for consistent hard work – this
includes online work.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Deciding on a Direction</span></h4>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> The good news is: there are many legit
ways to make money online. The amounts made and ways available, depend on
the person and their: expertise, skills, and commitment. For instance,
someone with law expertise, could make $60k/ year writing freelance
articles for clients online. If your serious about working online,
research and decide which direction to go.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> This direction could mean working
multiple ways at once, yet they should correlate or fit in with the
others. For instance, I make money, mainly, by selling books on
Amazon and writing content articles; yet, I also sell clothes and
items on Ebay, write ebooks for Kindle Select, have monetized blogs,
write for revenue sharing sites, work two PTC sites, work 4 survey
sites, and have 2 monetized YouTube channels.

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> For instance, one person may want to
work online using their telephone (or VoIP) selling insurance or as
an outsourced customer service rep, while another person wants to
join a Multi-Level-Marketing (MLM) opportunity, and yet another
person becomes an affiliate marketer through some proven system.

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> The tip here is to not choose a
direction based solely on money, rather, choose a direction based on
passions and interests. Each opportunity will take dedication,
resolve, and hard work in different ways. If a person
thinks they'll simply get rich quickly and easy without time and
effort, then they'll be disappointed and might fail.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b> Nature of Making Money Online</b></span></h4>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> I was a complete newbie to the
Internet and online work only 3 years ago. In-between working my lawn
care business and paper route, I was learning and working online
until I was able to do it full-time.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">What I learned is: making money
online is a slow process, and for most people the amounts are
comparable to around a full-time min. wage job.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Most online opportunities take time
and effort to grow and develop; quick and easy money is an illusion.
The only way to fast-track success is with large investments, or if a
person has expertise and skills in certain areas.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> There are many different money making
systems to buy into online, yet these do take: single-mindedness,
resolve, and a willingness to work the system. They really take a
dedication that completely takes over one's lifestyle (thinking of
MLM or affiliate blogging). Personally, I don't want to spend my time
and efforts as a salesman.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> The nature of making money online is:
it takes time to build a foundation and build a significant income
online. Residual and passive income efforts may take years to pay
off, yet are the perfect income stream for travel and remote work.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> The Right Choice</span></h4>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> The right choice for each person
differs, so choose a way to make money according to your preference
overall. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This could be: photography, journalism, videography, talk
show host, blogger, ecommerce store, affiliate blogging, buy and sell business,
freelance writer, content writer, professional service, etc.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> The right choices are the money making
methods you can sustain long-term interest in. Just be realistic
about the time it takes to make the desired amount of income from
each method.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">For instance, there are websites where people can sell
their photography and videos, yet it may take a year to get
established and build up a large enough portfolio to make the desired
money. Or, maybe a person wants to be an affiliate blogger, well,
this could also take 6 months to a year.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Understand the time frame for profit fruition, and choose according to your interests and passions, rather
than promises of quickly getting rich with little effort. Making
money online takes time and effort, just like everything else that's worthwhile in life.

</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> The good part is: there are legit ways
to make money online, from home or remotely. The tips and insights
discussed above highlight the importance of perspective and intent.
Having the right perspective on the time it takes to make a
significant amount of money online, and having the intentions of
building a long-term sustainable online income, rather than a get
rich mentality.

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Personally, I'm still on this
long-term journey to make money online. I've been able to replace my
menial labor jobs, yet there's still much work to be done. The
important lesson I've learned along the way is to not get distracted
by too many money making directions, instead: stay committed to the
ways you've chosen.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Stay open to other opportunities, yet stay
focused on optimizing and working the original ways chosen.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Hopefully, this article was helpful
for people looking for a way to make money online. I want to share a
great resource I found along the way, called

ways to make money online, I've used it many time to get ideas and
find places to make money from. </span></div>
