Mp3 Player Issues(Creative Labs Zen Stone Plus)
Aug 14th
Okay, today is more of a real tech post and a question for my readers. Back in 2007(late, I know) I got my first mp3 player. Creative Stone Plus, to be exact. I love it, though the battery charge doesn’t last long. Which sucks for me, but I still use it.
However, since last month my battery will not charge fully. So I think my battery is dying on me. Now, I have no idea what it will cost to send it in to get it replaced and for them to ship it back. I guess I should look into it, however I dread to know how much it will cost.
So my question is, should I try to get the battery replaced or should I buy a better mp3 player thats battery lasts longer(I am think iPod, since my sister has one and the battery is still good)? I even posted something about on twitter, though I do not think creative labs has a twitter account nor will they find my post…..
Thanks in advance.
Low Pay For Writers-How Do You Feel?
Aug 3rd
Last year, when I started out as writer/blogger-I took many low paying jobs. Why? To build up a history and resume. However, I am slowly raising my rates and working on up. However, even then I wouldn’t take under a dollar for over 100 word article.
How do you feel about such low paying gigs? Do you think they are worth your time or not? I personally do not, I mean its fine if you are staring up-but at one point you got to raise your price. And some rates are should never be excepted no matter what. You will never get anywhere with under a dollar per article.
While some people will not hire you if they think your pay rate is too high. However, you can always offer 3 pay options and say that you are willing to discusse with them how much they offer to pay you. That doesn’t mean you should accept too low rates. Would you work at McDonalds for $0.10 per hour? No, treat this like a job.
How do you feel about low paying jobs?
