I am offering a writing gig and I want to diversify my portfolio. In other words, I want to delve into graphics designing, which is not related to the current gig that I'm offering. I do not know if this is a good move.

Will it in any way affect my ratings or hinder me from getting jobs like I would if I had created a separate account for it?

Should I create a new account where I will offer a graphics design gig?

It doesn't mean, you can offer as many gig as possible in other niches depending on your current level. Buyers will still buy your gig irrespective of your other services.

What do mean by low content book?

Low contents are books with little or no text like Notebook, Journal, Drawing Book, Diary, Daily Planner, Notepad etc.

eliok:
low content sells. Just that I don't want that distraction.

Putting content books first. Is my style.

After 800$ I can move to low content by then.

Exactly, full content is still the best so far! My low contents have been looking at me like dummy since December!

Alvin212:
Presently I don't have a laptop.

How possible is it.

Thanks, guys.
Waiting for your feedback.

Yes you can use your Android phone, but you'll need a system when it comes to formatting.

bizmania:

Yes! But you'll need a system for formatting.

spendoon:
Big men in the house please i have been writing a book on my mobile phones wps office and i have reached page 37 and am out of idea's am thinking of concluding the book but i heard somepeople saying it wont be upto 37 pages when i publish it on amzon that atmost it will be 12,pages

That's untrue, make use of font size 14 or 16, double space paragraph, and use 5.25 x 8 inches as your papersize, then watch as your page count increases.

I'm having this problem.
After creating my gig, got to the stage where I will verify my number, I selected verify by call, I was called but the location was too noisy for me to hear the code, I later selected verify by sms. The problem now is that they are not sending me verification code after I have tried repeatedly.

Please guys, how can I tackle this issue?
Please help a brother

It has happened to me before, just contact the customer support via email and explain to them, they will help you reset it and you'll have another chance to verify by either call or SMS.

INSTAGRAM is down and not working right now with thousands of reports coming in from across the world. The outage has left many unable to access the popular app with no word on when things will be fixed.

Instagram users are facing a frustrating afternoon with the app currently down and not working.

The new outage appears to have begun at around 2.10pm GMT with many continuing to suffer from the gremlins that are stopping fans from accessing the service.

Independent outage monitor DownDetector, which tracks social media mentions to try and track issues with popular websites and online services, has recorded more than 3,000 reports from users each minute insisting Instagram is not working on the Android, iPhone, or web app.

Segzee1:
The World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that each year approximately one million people die from suicide, which represents a global mortality rate of 16 people per 100,000 or one death every 40 seconds.

It is predicted that by 2020 the rate of death will increase to one every 20 seconds. That is, the rate of suicide will double.

Who knows if the next person to commit suicide is sitting beside you, maybe someone you are eating together, a friend, family member or a colleague.

Now, let’s talk about SUICIDE and DEPRESSION…

1. Stop ignoring that ex-best friend who suddenly went broke after loss of job or business. REACH

OUT!

2. That single mother playing independent is not as fine as she may seem. Her child sleeps hungry.

Her bills are killing her. She is in debts. No, she won’t tell you lest you ask her for sex in return or embarrass her, she is not fine. REACH OUT!

3. That jobless drunk brother of yours who the whole family branded ‘useless’ could be a drunk for convenience. REACH OUT!

4. That beautiful woman who you think has it all, good job, nice body, a face everyone loves..

No, her inbox is not crowded. And she is not fine. REACH OUT!

5. Your girlfriend who has suddenly become lazy, withdrawn and irritable. Don’t cheat on her.

She may just not being a jerk intentionally, she may be depressed. REACH OUT!

6. That jovial, overly high – spirited colleague of yours may not be fine after all. Even if he says so. REACH OUT!

7. That cheating husband or Wife: Although cheating is not an excuse. But you may be killing him slowly with the way you are handling it.

He just may be crying for help. He may be looking for compassion and peace elsewhere.

Do be careful with him/her, don’t beat down a man/woman already on his/her knees. Don’t be another battle he has to fight. REACH

OUT!

8. Postnatal depression is real. Yes, it is. You think a mother endured 9 months, labor pains and it all just to stab her offspring.

Your wife is not suddenly nagging. She is depressed. Don’t be a jerk. REACH OUT!

9. Suicide is not a selfish act. Reminding a depressed soul that suicide will only transfer their pain to others is selfish, insensitive and for lack of a better word, EXTREMELY Selfish.

When one resolves to suicide, trust me, they are no longer thinking about the pain they would cause because they have lost the ability to be rational in their thinking.

They just want peace. They are tired of your judgmental stares, hints and speeches. They are tired of you ignoring them…

They are tired of being a bother to you. Because by now they believe there is no pain in death. REACH OUT!

10. And no, offering to buy them alcohol so they can drown their sorrow is not reaching out. It’s compounding the problem…

And paying bills after one has already committed suicide is HYPOCRITICAL. Those goodwill messages after one is gone are pure Hypocrisy…

*REACH OUT TO THE LIVING. THE DEAD SEES NO GOOD*…

How many hours b4 it went Live?

I think 2 hours

ambitiouschap:
bjstardom please how do you outsource your book me didn't know anything about this Halloween of a thing.

Personally, outsourcing to me is not that cool. I hired two writers consecutively due to my busy schedules and they both did a crappy job, they plagiarized other people's content before I took the challenge to write on my own. My book is not about Halloween tho.
