At moment I am spinning up yarn, because looking at eBay sales history I think I know how get some yarn sold. I just need try doing what ppl told me to do, by having enough of the yarn for being able finish 1 project at least. Also, the speed of spinning wheel faster after I fixed it. A pin fell out and I stuck a carriage bolt in it's place. The wheel treadles much nicer now. I don't know why, what's the difference! Also, I found a way of plying my with the singles wet, which allows me to lay down and press the fibre. This makes my yarn look like 'Spin cycle' yarns. Very popular handspun yarn. Someone on eBay told me there is always people wanted undyed handspun yarn. So I am trying it this way. Just spin it without coloring it.

So looking at sales history they are selling at auction, big lots of yarn that is hand-spun. Checking the price it's good enough for profit. So I am going to try spin over 1 pound and see what happens at auction.
 
So I am trying to get a virtual assistant job. There are loads of them I can try and get if I do not get hired for this one. The future of VA looks really good too, even with AI, according to google.

With the specific company I want to try and get the job with, I can set my own work hours. The minimum work hours are 5 hours, but I want to try and put 8 hours into it. This would work really well with my SSDI, as I can keep my pay within the limits.

It looks promising, right now I need clean my room so I would be able to do an interview.

Please pray for me, I want to get a job like this.

Thinking of u and praying everything goes good for u ❤️ .
 
I think the virtual job is a scam. All of the virtual jobs are scams it looks like, unless you work for FedEx or Amazon. At which point you will have excess hours.

Looking around for a job I can do without breaking the limits on SSDI.

I have been trying to do violin business, it ended in huge losses. I have tried yarn business,p it failed without so much as one page view. I am now trying to service flutes, but I barley get any page views and nothing will sell. The competition is selling, flutes, yarn and violins all around me and make huge profits, but I am getting only losses. What is the problem, why am I have so much tribulation? I can only think that I have been cursed, that evil spirits are at work against me.

I cannot get my bills paid because I am only losing money, and not earning anything.

I would suggest Van life... one of the biggest expenses is the rent.

Then it's groceries and gas

I'd also suggest trying gig work, like dog walking, Door dash or Uber eats, baby sitting or house cleaning

Learn to groom dogs, this one is good too. Car detailing. You'd be surprised how much money you can make

Door dashing and Uber eats are the easiest to get into. Best wishes

Why are you worried about limits on SSDI? If you can earn more than your SSDI, you limit your ability to succeed and force yourself to be dependent on the government.
 
With SSDI, they have work hour and earning limits. If you go over those limits they no longer consider you needing disability. I recently got a letter from SSA just yesterday, and they said they have reviewed my case and I can keep my SSDI.

My SSDI is the same as having a part-time job without paying taxes or buying insurance. It would be stupid of me to give that up for a job, especially knowing I will not be able to hold the job.

I have looked around and all the jobs demand too many hours. I have Janitor skills, I have worked as a Janitor for many years before I took out SSDI.
 
So concerning what I am working on. The flute business is not working, because I have not been following the trend. The trend is gemeinhardt and yamaha flutes. I ordered a gemeinhardt flute today, I will wait for delivery and see if I can even get page views for it arfter listing it. But I think I will because the competition is selling them everyday, advertised as with new pads. I could get $50.00 profit per flute, if it works It would be a matter of being able get enough money to have them in circulation.

I have been asking people questions about the yarn. It looks promising, I might be able to spin up undyed yarn, but it must be wet finished. I am going to make a 50g skein and show it looking for advise on it.

Praying for you and your businesses. My suggestion would be a job that doesn't give you too much responsibility out of work so you can dedicate yourself to the businesses taking off. That way you're earning until you can safely leave the job with a successful business to live off.
May God bring you wisdom and discernment in finding a solution, in Jesus' name, amen. He's there, Brasspen. Trust in Him and He will see you thrive...

So today, I was charged $40.00 from fedEx, they didn't like my packaging for my violin bow I sold. Wish I still had the bow too. Huge loss.

I am attempting to change my medicine to caplyta so I can not have the weight problems anymore. I have appointment on Monday for a new doctor.

And I am hungry! Walmart telling me they can't find a driver.
 
Good news, I was able get $40.00 from books I sold to booksrun.
I am expecting a gemeinhardt flute in mail soon. With the gemeinhradt flute I will find out if it's feasible to do business with those. Right now I don't think nothing but gemeinhardt brand can be worked on then sold for profit on eBay. At least, with the student models. If it's works out like I am hoping it can, I might only need have 5 of those in circulation each month to get enough money to give affirm, paying the min.
 
Well nothing is working for anyone now. The oil prices are shooting up. The consumers are not buying anything.

My friend, I really think you should look into a part time job like Uber eats delivery or Doordash. You work at your own pace and can make your own schedule. No boss to report to, etc but at least some guaranteed income.
