I hope your prayers are answered! I know how badly you want to get out of the meter reading and you seem to have a talent for writing which makes this more in your field of interest.
What type of volunteering would you like to do?
Let us know when you get the job, officially!

I had a very different meeting! I am hired and he gave me $30 instead of the $25 I asked for  , but I am not really expecting much work for a while. I have to do sales and bring in clients in order to get writing work and he doesn't want to hire me as an actual employee. He was very impressed though by everything I did and said. I am so anxious to get out of meter reading! I have to make money soon! Well I go again on Monday and can ask more questions. I was there 4 hours but didn't get all my questions answered. Another person is going to do sales too but she is a really dumb teenager and she slowed down all the afternoon's progress. So I am exhausted and want to cry and have chocolate and a bath and let out the stress! I think it is good all around though; I just wish I could have had more questions concretely answered.

Thanks, but somehow he doesn't want me to be an actual employee but a sub-contractor. yet he mentioned the word partner and talked about being salaried someday. I just want a reliable job working few hours at home for okay money. I wish I could have that! But I could roll into that sometime. I might someday make good money and reduce my hours quite a bit. Anyway I have mixed feelings!

Well I started my first real day of sales. It isn't easy and definitely not immediate, but I have 2 interested businesses. One wants their logo redone for $750 and the other wants a new brand as they are using the Cadillac logo and can be sued! I go back to that one tomorrow and the other on MOnday. I will get $360 if they order just that stuff. I hope I can quit meter reading soon!

Do you contact the businesses or do you work with businesses that contact the company? Is $360 commission or is that based on the number of hours you're contracted to work with these businesses? How would you describe your "job title" at the moment? Sorry, to bombard you with questions, but I'm both excited for you and super curious! I hope you can quit meter reading soon too!

Ok, I go to whatever businesses I want. They do not contact us first. The walk in customers are not my customers. I research the businesses I want to go to online to see if they have websites etc. Then I go in when I think it will work for them. I tell them about our 50% special on websites and show them a portfolio of sample logos and cards and brochures too. I get paid 15% commission once a sale is done. I just started so I have not finalized a sale yet, maybe tomorrow. I also can log my mileage and get 20 cents per mile while I am doing sales. When I do writing it will be from home and I will give an estimate of what I want to make from the job, based on $30 an hour including writing and consulting the customer. I have to take my own taxes out for now. Later he may hire me as an actual employee.
