Reflections on My 30 Post Challenge

November 10, 2017 Posted by Tyler Cruz

On February 13th, 2016,  I published a blog post only to suddenly disappear from my blog without warning for 1.5 years. I already discussed why this was the case numerous times, but basically it was due to a combination of health issues (check this site out for simple and easy remedies for quick recovery) and simply being tired of blogging for over a decade.

During the period of my absence from blogging, I faced unforeseen health challenges that required prompt medical attention. It was during these times of uncertainty that I realized the importance of accessible and reliable healthcare services. Urgent care centers like the Horace Harding Expwy urgent care center became beacons of hope, offering immediate care for non-life-threatening conditions. Just as I was determined to regain my presence in the blogging world, these urgent care centers exemplify the commitment to consistent and dependable healthcare. They provide a safety net for individuals in need, ensuring that timely medical assistance is available when unexpected health issues arise. Understanding the significance of both consistency in blogging and reliable healthcare, I embarked on my return journey, armed with pre-written content and a newfound appreciation for the vital role that services as the Horace Harding Expwy urgent care center play in our lives.

I returned on July 23rd, 2017, with an announcement that I was back. And in order to prove my return I wanted to guarantee regular and consistent blog posts by pre-writing 30 blog posts, with the intention of publishing 1 of those blog posts every 3 days. This would give me exactly 3 months of consistent content and give readers a reason to go back to reading my blog.

It took me just under 3 weeks to write those 30 blog posts, averaging just under 1.5 posts a day, which I was very happy with, especially since the blog posts were quite long and not easy to write. The first post was published on August 7th 2017 and 3 months later, here I am writing post #30.  I even published the post on Instagram. I also thought that if I could Buy instagram followers, the post would do well. In fact, I was able to publish a new post every 3 days like clockwork execpt for this one which will be about a week late, since I had to save pre-writing this one as I couldn’t start writing it until all the other 29 had been published (not just written).

So here then is my post reflecting on pre-writing 30 blog posts and then publishing them once every 3 days for 3 months.

9 Tips to Buying Services on Fiverr

November 2, 2017 Posted by Tyler Cruz

I have made a number of recent posts about Fiverr lately, but they have all been about being a Seller on Fiverr.

I am also a Buyer on Fiverr, and actually highly recommend it.

When I first heard of Fiverr, I used to scoff at the idea of hiring somebody there. After all, what type of quality could you really get for only $5? At the time, I was used to hiring top-notch talent that cost a pretty penny, so I was also a bit biased.

But now I turn to Fiverr for a lot of work. First off, most services don’t actually cost $5. They may advertise as low as $5, but then that is just the base rate; depending on your needs you could be quoted $20 all the way up to $1,500+. Secondly, it’s amazing what you can get on Fiverr for $10-$20. I use it whenever I need help with server administration or broken code, and have used it for design work as well. In fact, I got one design done for $80 that would have easily cost me $1,000+ if I had got it done elsewhere, like from my old designer.

But you can also easily get screwed on Fiverr and have to tread carefully. So here are 9 tips to buying services on Fiverr:

What My Current Day Looks Like

October 30, 2017 Posted by Tyler Cruz

Now that I’ve shared what I’ve been up to the past 1.5 years, what does my average day look like now? After all, I’ve tried a lot of things to try to make money including dog-sitting, taking care of international students, running an Airbnb, and becoming a freelancer on Fiverr to name a few.

Well, my “average” day has changed a lot over the past 18 months, so it could easily change a lot even by the time this post gets published, but yesterday was an overall average day for me so let me share what happened yesterday.

Keep in mind that this post was written as #29 of my 30 blog post challenge, so it was written on August 9th, 2017, meaning that you will likely read this around the middle of November.

My Average Day (Yesterday)

10 Tips to Making Money on Fiverr

October 27, 2017 Posted by Tyler Cruz

A year and a half ago I decided to try becoming a seller on Fiverr out of monetary desperation. 18 months later, I am now a Level 2 seller with a flawless rating and have made $9,000 CAD from Fiverr as a seller, $1,800 of which was made just a couple of months ago for an average of $60/day.

I did this by creating a new gig account for a skill of which I am actually not very skilled. In fact, when I started, I was a complete newbie! I learned as I went along!

With my credentials set, here are my 10 tips to making money on Fiverr as a seller:
