No reason to give up, just change up what you are doing. If you are doing writing as a service then you probably know what niches that your customers keep ordering articles for. There is no reason that you can't put up your own niche sites and start being an internet marketing instead of a service provider. Niche sites make you passive income write once profit over and over. Also, use Dragon Naturally Speaking to write your articles with. It is way easier than typing and a lot faster once you get the hang of it.
I agree! YMC, awesome post. It's easy to feel like you want to give up with something like this. Generally, the more I care about something (like writing), the more I want to throw the towel in when I get frustrated. I often find that we possess the capacity to be extremely negative about a thing that we generally are extremely positive about.
