Transfem Couple needs help with Rent

(please don't scroll past)

Hey y'all, I'm sorry to be making this post, but my and my wife's financial situation is kinda dire atm. Both of us are physically exhausted and sore from commission + freelance work, and the money from my short movie deal is getting delayed again. I legally can't pick up other jobs right now (even though I tried doing it under the table and barely anyone's hiring) and my wife is getting to a physically dangerous place if she keeps overworking herself.

We really need some help covering this month's rent and debt payments.

Here's a link to my Paypal. It's unfortunately the only method we're able to receive anything, since we live in Brazil.

[so-i-did-this-thing]

Hello Nicholas!

I hope this isn't a weird question, but I saw in one of your posts that you used to be in a huge amount of debt and now you're living more comfortably- how did you manage to get out of debt? I feel like every time I start even trying to figure out where to start, it's just all too big to ever get out from under. Do you have any advice for me?

Hope you have a great day!

Hey there! Yes, from about 2007-2010 (before I transitioned), I was making less than $10k/year. I defaulted on all my credit cards, exhausted my retirement, and nearly lost my house. It sucked, and in 2024, I'm finally start to feel somewhat secure. What I learned (assuming living in the US, I also did not have student loan debt):

I had to first figure out the sources of my debt. A big chunk of it was because of bad spending habits due to mental illness (hoarding + retail therapy when I was dysphoric/depressed). Another chunk was from being in an abusive friendship. Another, from being unemployed. And the last, was general capitalism (this was during the housing crisis.)

I started working on improving myself to curb behaviors that led to debt. I started working on my hoarding. I started transition to improve my mental health (had to sell some stuff to afford HRT). It took until 2015 to ditch my abuser, alas.

I started working on new job skills. I swallowed my pride and got an office job after a failed 3-year stint at freelancing. It was shitty, but enough to take care of my income emergencies -- keeping my house out of foreclosure. I got a better job 8 months later. It also sucked and I was in it for 7 years, but eventually changed industries and that's when my career took off. Because with each new job, I've gotten better and better pay.

I started using budgeting software. YNAB is my favorite. I try to account for every single dollar I have.

I started spending smarter. Food was the expense I had the most control over. I went to the salvage grocery store (you can find non-expired stuff if you hunt) and bought the "ugly" produce 1 day away from rotting from the local markets. I actually managed to eat well once I found these grocery stores, and my food bill became a fraction of what it'd been at typical grocery stores. I do wish that I had given food pantries a shot, but I was in denial about my poverty at the time.

I sold a ton of useless crap. I got rid of a good chunk of my nerd "collectibles". I only miss a few things over a decade later.

I negotiated with my debt collectors. I managed to set up payment plans with my credit card companies, condo association, and the IRS. I also did a debt consolidation loan once I qualified and was sure I could commit to the monthly payments. It forced me to be super strict about my budget and for about 5 years I didn't buy much for myself. It sucked, but I cleared a bunch of debt that way.

I got help from my family. I was embarrassed to tell my family about my predicament, but it became impossible to hide. I got help cleaning out my hoard and my mother has gracefully given me generous cash gifts every now and then. Never enough to be life-changing, but enough to give me a mental breather.

I played the credit score game. This one seems counter-intuitive, and requires some self-control about not abusing credit cards. Many people recommend the "snowball" method for paying off cards (pay off your lowest debt asap, then go to the next one), but I went with a "credit utilization" method (bring my highest used cards down to the next utilization level, then move to other cards) so I would see immediate changes in my credit score. What is credit card utilization? It's the percentage of how much of your credit card you're using. A card with a $1,000 limit and $100 on it = 10% utilization. Your credit score changes when you cross the following thresholds: 90%, 70%, 50%, 30%, 10%. Once my credit score started going up past 400 (especially as defaults started falling away), I applied for a secured card. As I started using that better, I applied for a few more cards, then for credit line increases every 6 months. My car insurance rates were tied to my credit score, so as soon as that improved, I switched companies and saved money there.

Mistakes I made:

Being in denial that I was poor. I didn't really look for resources on how to live while in poverty. This hurt me a lot because I ended up neglecting myself out of pride, which made my situation even worse.

Payday loans. I got stuck in the payday cycle for about 8 years. I wish I had sold more stuff or asked family for money to have never needed that initial loan. Once you are in the cycle, it becomes very difficult to get out.

Not going to a food bank.

Not asking for help sooner. And not just financial help.

Not getting out of abusive situations sooner. This is hard, and I sympathize with anyone in a similar position. But if you think it's time to move on, trust your gut - don't sacrifice yourself for people who don't care about you.

Ignoring debt collectors, because I was too afraid to negotiate for a plan. The IRS was so patient with me in the end, even after defaulting twice on plans.

Not considering getting a roommate to reduce costs, or not thinking of doing more things like shared meals with my fellow poor friends. Again, denial and pride. Humility is not a bad word and I wished I had learned it sooner.

Not changing jobs sooner. Curbing my hoarding and getting a better job are responsible for about 90% of me being where I am financially today.

Getting out of debt is a marathon. It took over a decade for me, and I am *still* feeling the sting of poverty. I wish you the best of luck. Folks are welcome to tack on specific tricks and strategies -- this is just a general outline of my particular journey.

Abandoned months old Jean x Reader draft about an electrician working on set at the Sunnytime Crew Show

Tw: workplace abuse??

---

"Aren't you done with that yet?"

You closed your eyes and inhaled deeply to block out the the shrill voice of your client and current director of the Sunnytime Crew Show, Susie Quentin. You say current because the original creator had taken a backseat to focus more on promoting the series through merchandising and signing off on everything that entails.

Susie was a cutthroat lead writer for a popular drama that was out and independent filmmaker. She took her job very seriously. A little too serious, you thought. There were times she was tolerable but others she was insufferable.

Staff or cast members questioning her were either met with harsh reprimand or a flippant dismissal. It was the same for you, being a freelance electrician, who despite your grievings with the woman, found that you would get a hefty payment when she called you on behalf of the studio - LambsWorks - to work on the set.

You were currently fixing the lights, which were looking too dim according to Susie.

"I said they'd take about fifteen to thirty minutes, Quentin." You said, not taking your eyes off the bulb you were fixing. "You've got to finesse these things..."

"Finesse!" You heard Susie scoff. In that moment you glance down at her.

"You know, I can easily get somebody who can get this done in maybe, five to ten minutes?" The implications of what she said weren't lost on you. And you nearly scoffed yourself. You were one of three electricians in this city, and they did shoddy work with methods that could last maybe a couple of weeks whereas yours could go up to half a year.

In all honesty you weren't that great yourself when starting out, but you quickly learned that if you wanted to get work you were going to have to make yourself irreplaceable. That and using a bit of predatory pricing to drive off competitors. But in all the months you worked with Susie she began to pick up that you didn't really like the "replacement" line. Because even if you were good at your job, Susie was willing to take a risk at getting someone else cheaper to do what she needed.

You frowned deep but decided to speed up the process. It might be a bit rickety by the time you were done, but hell, you wanted to be out right then.

A minute later all the lights were shining brightly on the stage.

You climbed down and looked at Susie, who was smugly satisfied.

"Was that so hard?" She taunted, "Your check will be in the mail."

You bumped shoulders with her as you marched off. At the start of the hallway you saw a couple of the Sunnytime Crew actors, Jean Laurent and Orville Smith. Or better known by their casted monikers - Rory Rainberry and Knackerdan Drizzle. They were still wearing their makeup and costumes, but not their wigs. Jean was having a cigarette.

You'd seen them around when you worked but never formally engaged with them.

You cleared your throat and they both looked at you blankly. You jerk your head, expectant of them to move. They laughed.

"There's an exit around that way." Smith said, pointing a direction you didn't bother looking.

"I'm trying to go through here, it's the quickest way." You replied.

"You're not too good to take a longer walk." Jean said, flippant.

This didn't really matter in the grand scheme of things. You really could just walk around. But you'd been decently pissed off by Susie that you took a daring step forward. "Let me get through."

Smith narrowed his eyes at your tone but seemed to hesitate on staying where he was, shifting on his feet a bit. Jean took a drag of his cigarette and blew the smoke in your direction.

With that you shoved past the two of them (but mainly Jean) and marched off to down the hall.

COMMISSION ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

HOWDY Y’ALL!!!!

I’m deciding to open commissions once more! And finally making them public rather than just offering to friends.

This took a TON of deliberation, as I fear as an artist being taken advantage of for my time. And so, before we get into pricing and my boundaries as an artist, lets talk ground rules! Just so you, as a potential customer, understand my expectations as the artist.

(Also please be patient with me as I work 12 hour shifts at a hospital, so it may take a few weeks to get to yours if it’s behind a lot of others in the queue)

RULES & EXPECTATIONS

First come, first serve

This is mainly because I like to prioritize those who come to me first. With this being said though, if you express interest in a commission from me, but do not state what you are wanting, as well as a price range you are going for, I will prioritize a person who has already given me a commission request. Basically! I put you in the queue the moment we have a request worked out! :-)

No revisions after a finalized sketch

This is mainly to protect myself as the artist, and you as the customer from being in a perpetual revision cycle, after already finalizing the sketch. If you aren’t happy with something, please let me know before I begin the line art process! Once I begin to do line art or color, I enter a zone where doing any sort of serious revision could cause the quality to diminish!

Make sure it’s my art you are wanting!

I do do a plethora of art style mocks like persona 5 eye cut ins, as well as other sorts of persona art style stuff. But I don’t wish to copy another artists style thats already offering commissions. If you’re wanting a certain style that isn’t adjacent to mine, you’re better off saving up for the artist you truly wish you could commission :-). I like to feed into fandom wants and needs, but I don’t want to take away from other freelance artist’s business.

I will not send the art until paid

 Since I manage to work rather fast, I don’t mind making pieces that don’t get paid for, as any piece I do is good practice!! That being said, I won’t send my art until I have proof of payment for the time I spent on it. I will always be super clear on which part of the process I am in, but to protect myself from being scammed, I cannot send the piece until payment is proven.

DETAILS

Now lets get into the fun stuff!! To start, I do not charge my commissions based on how complex the art is, rather, how long it took me to make it. Which is the reason I can’t ask for up front payments. I charge, instead, by the hour. And my pricing is based on my state’s minimum wage. The software I use to make my art (Procreate) tracks the elapsed time I’ve spent drawing, and so I calculate the owed amount based upon that. So, to start:

I CHARGE $15 AN HOUR (USD)

METHOD OF PAYMENT IS THROUGH PAYPAL.

Now that that’s out of the way, here’s what I CAN and CAN’T draw!!

THINGS I ABSOLUTELY WILL DRAW:

Character references! (TTRPG CHARAS, OCS, ETC.)

Armor (I can do mecha, but because of the complexity it may bump up the price just because of how long it takes)

Main stream art style replication (Persona 2D Sprites, Ace Attorney, Steven Universe, The Owl House, and a few others as well)

People

Portraits

Couples (hugging, kissing, holding hands, cute stuff :3)

Inklings & Octolings (anything splatoon related pretty much)

THINGS I CAN DRAW (BUT WILL PREFACE WITH THE FACT THAT I AM LESS SKILLED IN THESE AREAS)

Furries

Animals/pets

Scenery

Pixel art

Vehicles

Weapons (this ones tricky because I can draw swords pretty quick, guns take quite a bit of effort to get right though)

THINGS I WILL NOT DRAW

NSFW/suggestive content

Gore

With the parameters out of the way, I’d like to talk about pricing now! Since I charge by the hour, I’d like to make it clear that I am 100% willing to work with money difficulties! I draw pretty fast, but as there are certain things that cause my pieces to take longer, it’s only fair I let you all know what those are, so that you can know what to avoid if you’re wanting some art from me!

THINGS THAT WILL CAUSE MY ART TO TAKE MORE TIME!

Lineless

Complex mecha/outfits

Complex props (e.g. instruments)

Anything in my CAN DRAW list

Complex backgrounds

And lastly…

EXAMPLES OF QUALITY OF WORK

(With time spent and how much they’d be priced)

ROUGH FULL BODY

Time spent: 30m

Calculated price: $7.50

STYLIZED TAROT

Time spent: 2h 16m

Calculated price: $34.00

SIDE ORDER LINELESS

Time spent: 3h 44m

Calculated price: $56.00

FYNN 1920S ‘IT’ GIRL PIERROT

Time spent: 5h 24m

Calculated price: $81.00

Anywho!! If anyone is interested, please DM me! I’ll hand over my discord so you can send me pictures easy :-)! Reblogs are greatly appreciated!!!!

[confessionsofa-roleplayer]

I know it's been said before, but begging for money in the RPC is really taboo. However I have noticed a new format of it that made me squirm. Lying about the reasons why you want commissions and need said money from them on your commission page/post, and then obviously spending the influx of money on collectibles rather than putting it towards said goal is just as bad as the e-begging. Certainly it has extra steps, and appears legit as the person does the commissions and "earns" the money, but people notice when that money goes to frivolous purchases. Using whatever living situation or what have you to justify begging for commissions, but then not actually saving that money to the perceived goal to get out of your so-called situation is really scummy. The fact that I know that there are some I've seen who used the goodwill of actual freelance artists on tumblr to teach them how to set up said pages and payment methods online, to "look legit", also saddens me. I've seen how those freelancers get blocked or even slandered by the scammer once they notice the evidence of the scam. The RPC and freelance artists will always have crossover, certainly, but if someone starts slandering the name of an artist across the RPC for seemingly no other reason than to cut off potential customers I would advise examining the person spreading the slander. A lot of the time they have caught their own ass out on their blogs with what they really did with the money they claimed they needed for something serious.

Hey! I work as a freelance content writer/copywriter as well. I had to stop working because of academic pressure, but the pay in my country is peanuts, and I have always wanted to expand globally. I would really appreciate it if you could share some tips on how you started getting clients and how did you build your agency? Thanks!!

Hi love! Some high-level tips are below:

Intern/Apply to remote internships to get clips/experience

Create an Upwork account to get entry-level work/testimonials to get some client portfolio work and to help build your professional reputation

Always be on the lookout for leads, do your research, and craft a thoughtful/useful pitch for the client/publisher. Send work samples/share how you can help them. Follow up – remember rejection is part of the job, it's a numbers game

Start your own blog to show off your skills/build credibility in the writing world/your field

Save all of your quality-work to use in your portfolio. Always have a portfolio ready in PDF format and as a direct link that's mobile-friendly available when pitching clients

Utilize LinkedIn, your university connections, build your network, request informational interviews, and don't be shy to ask for letters of recommendation or referrals

When you do get a client whose honest and integral, show up and do your best work and submit it on time. If you can't for whatever reason, request an extension/notify them of the delay ahead of time

Perfect your craft, continuously read about your industry, and sharpen your skills. Show up with a business owner, not employee, mindset. This might be different when you're doing contract work for an agency where they might have their own contracts, set a budget, etc. But, when working with smaller, independent clients, ensure you have your rates, terms, general business practices, contracts (see a lawyer about this one), onboarding process, client questionnaire, payment method, etc., all set up for your client to acclimate to when you're ready to sign them. Remember, your clients are your customers, not your employers. It is a partnership, not an unequal power dynamic – you are the talent, not the direct report.

Hope this helps xx

[thewritingcoroner]

Listen yall, this is writeblr and I'm seeing it a lot and that is a GOOD THING. but the WGA Strike is SO CRITICAL to the writing craft.

I say this as someone who has written (and occasionally still does) professionally. (Not creatively, a different kind of writing when I'm freelancing) Yall need to understand that this can do so much for those of us who don't write creatively professionally.

When I was writing professionally, I was 22, I'd been unemployed for 2 years already, and the first employer to say yes to hiring me got me with no negotiation. I was paid .03$ per word. THREE CENTS per word. My usual turnaround time was 48 hours for 3k words because any longer than that and I forfeit my payment. They put a max on my word limit so that they could limit my payment. I couldn't write more than 5k words per week. I made about $150 per week and at first I had to forfeit several dollars of that to Paypal fees because that's the only way my employer would fulfill invoices.

I got no benefits, in fact they specifically moved payment methods from my invoicing to a google form I filled out bi-weekly. This made it incredibly hard to track payment for tax purposes.

But this WGA strike? This could open the doors for other professional writers to demand value for their work. We have to support this strike with our entire chests. If the WGA can do it then so can other unions. Join the appropriate union and show some solidarity, because their success is OUR success.

I decided to make a new banner for myself featuring my OCs in casual clothes. (Left to right; Michael, Ayame, Jayden, and Kage) I enjoyed drawing them like this, it's a good way to help characterize them. I also used this as an opportunity to practice how I draw shadows, which you unfortunately can't see very well here.

If you want to see them individually, as well as my other art, then go check out my ArtStation! Click the link below or at the top of my blog to check out all the art I made so far. There's graphic design, 3D models, character designs, and exactly one animation. Here's a small sampling!

I'm not taking commissions yet, but I will once I figure out my pricing and payment methods. I'll be sure to post art on here more frequently, including works in progress!

How to Find a Trusted Ahrefs Group Buy Seller

Navigating the Maze: Finding a Trusted Ahrefs Group Buy Seller

Ahrefs, the SEO (Search Engine Optimization) powerhouse, equips users with an arsenal of tools to analyze websites, research keywords, track rankings, and gain valuable competitor insights. While coveted by SEO professionals, the subscription fees can be a barrier for some, particularly freelancers, small businesses, or those starting out. This is where Ahrefs group buys emerge, offering a potentially cost-effective alternative. However, navigating the world of group buys requires caution, as not all sellers are created equal. This guide equips you with the knowledge to find a trusted Ahrefs group buy seller, allowing you to access these powerful tools without compromising security or reliability.

The Allure of Ahrefs Group Buys

Ahrefs group buys operate on a simple principle: multiple users share the cost of a single Ahrefs subscription. This can significantly reduce the financial burden, making Ahrefs' comprehensive toolkit more accessible. But the benefits go beyond affordability:

Collaboration: Agencies or teams working on SEO projects can benefit from shared access, fostering streamlined workflows and efficient communication.

Regular Updates: Reputable group buy sellers ensure access to the latest Ahrefs features and updates, keeping you equipped with cutting-edge tools.

The Buyer Beware Approach: Potential Risks

Before diving headfirst into the world of Ahrefs group buys, it's crucial to acknowledge the potential downsides:

Security Concerns: Sharing account credentials with a third-party seller can pose a security risk. Meticulously research the provider's reputation and security practices.

Unreliable Access: Some sellers might offer unstable access due to account suspension or limitations imposed by Ahrefs.

Limited Usage: Certain group buys may restrict daily or monthly usage limits for specific tools to maintain fairness among users.

Ethical Considerations: Ahrefs frowns upon unauthorized account sharing. Consider supporting their development by opting for an official subscription if financially viable.

Finding the Trustworthy Seller: Essential Criteria

With the potential drawbacks in mind, here's how to identify a trusted Ahrefs group buy seller:

Reputation is Key: Start by researching the seller's track record. Look for online reviews, testimonials, and forum discussions to gauge their reliability and customer satisfaction.

Transparency Matters: A trustworthy seller will have a clear and transparent website outlining their pricing structure, terms of service, data security practices, and refund policy (if applicable).

Security First: Inquire about the seller's security measures to protect user data. Secure login protocols and two-factor authentication are strong indicators of a responsible provider.

Communication Channels: Opt for a seller with established communication channels, allowing you to reach them promptly with questions or concerns.

Going Beyond the Basics: Advanced Tips

Once you've identified a few potential sellers, take these additional steps for further verification:

Social Proof: Check if the seller maintains active social media profiles or online communities. Engagement levels and user feedback can reveal valuable insights.

Payment Methods: Opt for a seller who uses secure payment gateways like PayPal or credit card processors with buyer protection mechanisms.

Trial Periods: If available, consider a trial period to assess the quality of service and tool access before committing long-term.

FAQs: Demystifying Ahrefs Group Buy Sellers

What are some red flags to look out for when choosing a seller?

Be wary of sellers offering unrealistically low prices, vague terms of service, or limited communication channels.

Is it possible to find a completely risk-free Ahrefs group buy?

There is always an inherent risk involved in using a group buy service. However, by following the outlined tips and conducting thorough research, you can significantly minimize these risks.

What are some alternatives to Ahrefs group buys?

Several free and paid SEO tools offer varying functionalities. Explore options like Google Search Console, SEMrush, or Moz before committing to a group buy.

Can I get banned from Ahrefs for using a group buy?

Ahrefs can potentially suspend your account if they detect unauthorized access or suspicious activity.

What are the long-term implications of using a group buy?

Using a group buy for an extended period might hinder your ability to access the full benefits of an official subscription, such as dedicated customer support or priority access to new features.

Conclusion

Ahrefs group buys present a potentially cost-effective way to leverage powerful SEO tools. However, approaching them with caution and due diligence is crucial. By following the outlined strategies and prioritizing security and transparency, you can increase your chances of finding a reliable seller who who can provide access to Ahrefs' tools without compromising your data or hindering your SEO efforts. Remember, the ideal scenario involves striking a balance between affordability and peace of mind. Here are some additional considerations:

Official Ahrefs Subscription vs. Group Buy: If your budget allows, weigh the long-term benefits of an official Ahrefs subscription. Direct support from Ahrefs, access to all features without limitations, and a lower risk of account suspension are valuable advantages.

Alternative SEO Tools: Explore free or paid alternatives like Ubersuggest, KWFinder, or Moz Pro. Depending on your specific needs, these tools might offer a good balance of functionality and cost.

Building Your Case for an Official Subscription: If you work within an organization, consider presenting a well-researched case for acquiring an official Ahrefs subscription. Highlight the long-term ROI (Return on Investment) potential and how Ahrefs can enhance your SEO efforts.

Ultimately, the decision to use an Ahrefs group buy rests on your individual needs and risk tolerance. By carefully evaluating the options and prioritizing security, you can make an informed choice that empowers your SEO journey.

Hey!! I just had a question about your commisions! What payment method do you take? And if i wanted you to add a character to the piece would that just be the full price x2? Thank you :)

Hello! Payment is thru paypal but if thats inconvenient can discuss other means i am an easy guy.

I take a deposit or full price b4 tho is the only thing.

My current prices are kind of just base prices for an aesthetic/ style/ how complex the piece is and its more or less down for discussion based on what the piece is lol! Sorry if thats vague. I think on a base level with flats it would be 20 gbp + more for any basic additional add ons to a piece but id need to know what it will be and then go from there to finalise a price bc even style wise it could turn into a full illustration. I hope that makes sense!!!

(this is specifically for personal comms ^_^ just to clear that up if anyones reading, prof/ freelance illustration is an entirely different conversation lol)

Freelance Writing Jobs: Navigate the World Of Endless Opportunities | IAPWE

Laying the foundation stone of your career is often the most challenging part. It might become a little bit more tricky if you’re planning to choose freelancing writing as your full-time job. Usually, novice writers struggle to find consistent projects. This is why you should join freelance marketplaces and focus on finding new clients from the beginning.    

There are numerous freelancing platforms with secured payment features and consistent project opportunities. This includes platforms like Fiverr, IAPWE, Upwork and more. These platforms can ease up the journey of freelancers who are trying to make their way into the freelance job market.    

Let’s explore these points to understand how you can navigate your path through the world of freelance writing.
