Third batch came back rejected, technical issue and not up to their standards of quality.. one new reasoning... they had too much of that 'type' of image so unfair!
The alternative I mentioned before was to find another website.. and i did i've signed up to photobox it didn't have as much problems, however, i dont believe they have a strong selling presents as other sites do. photobox provide more of a photo album storage and cool features like print outs as a photos to mugs which are cool gift ideas. i'll probably have to find another site to upload to sell but atleast this one doesn't reject my photos.
Ahh ha! turns out there's sister site! Here is the link to my gallery on Photobox Gallery

Progress report to Option 2&3: Merge
I've done a bit of research on things i can sell.. from my previous blog i brain stormed the idea about selling my sperm or my girls eggs.. however, its not ideal.. from what I've seen you won't get much anyways.. and I'm thrilled in the idea that a random stranger hunts me down in the future and claims I'm his/her bio-parent.. heck I'm not in the right frame of mind to be a parent period..
the alternative i figure was to sell my photo's I've taken during my travels... turns out there are loads of photo selling website out there.. so after some further researching thought i give it a try. the first site i signed up to is fotolia its not the best place but its one of the more favourable to earn money off of.
I started to filtered through about 4-5 year's worth of digital photos that my girl or I have taken and i had manged to filter it down to about 2 thousand images that were landscape worthy. filter more to what could be sell able.. it took hours and hours and i got bored.. i figure they'll need to be approved by the site anyways so i decide to upload a batch first and that took hours and hours as well because not only i have to upload full res images that met there minimum requirements i had to individually set the key words so that the buyers will find my images. i initially uploaded 60 photos.. but deleted about 20 of them in the end.. fear they weren't good enough.. boredom kicked in a few times so there were at least 3 batches that were tags and 'awaited for approval'
a couple hours ago the first 2 batches were reviewed... and to my dismay.. all were rejected.. damn that hurt... two different generic rejection emails said that it was either wasn't up to their standard of quality or it had some technical problems. well that sucks.. those were good photo or so i thought of one of my days out, i had beautiful shots of a waterfall i went to a few weeks ago.. I'm still waiting for the third batch result but I'm pretty sure i know what they'll say..
i re-read their blog about what they want / what they don't want.. and I'm sure i met they minimum requirement and my shots were very good..percentage wise i thought at least some would be approved.. but nope none of the waterfalls were accepted.. with the amount of photographer that signed up to these things.. the competitivness of selling there shots must have been a huge factor and if that is the case.. my happy snappy camera might not be in par with the other member
maybe its just this one website that didn't like them... I'll try again with the same batch tomorrow at a different website.. hopefully the result from this/these other site would be better......

First few steps to my millions
From my previous post, I've brained stormed a few ways to earn or generate some income.
Those were:
Option 1 - Find a job
Option 2 - Sell stuff
Option 3 - Do something online
Option 4 - Rob a bank
I've decided to research and pursue the first three options. The fourth options was too risky, I dont think I can rob a bank with a folk anyways.
Here's a brief summary to each option and the progress
Option 1 - Find a job
Most ideal way to earn a living, get a job, so what have I done to hit this target?
i.) Searched online recruitment websites
I've appying to loads of jobs since October. Positions that my previous exprience hopefully fit. Project Coordinator, IT Support, & Web Design seem to be the ideal ones.
ii.) Walk in to recruitment agencies and hand in a copy of my CV.
There are about 10-15 offices in town. All else fails or to the next big city (which is Birmingham)
Option 2 - Sell Stuff
What can I sell? do I have anything to sell on ebay? no, most of my stuff like my baseball cards, comic book collection are back in hong kong, hopefully still in good or mint condition.
body parts? nope still need them... my sperm? my girlfriend's eggs? dont need them... yet.. but what is the prices for items like that? must research further.. anything else that can be sold off? not sure at the moment..
Option 3 - Do something online
Online trading
Internet advertising
Affilate programs
further research required
that's all I have managed to figure out so far.. got a bit of a headache just thinking about it all..
