Where are free shows online or listings for free shows via my webcam & Do facepaint & body art  websites make money online?

     As of February 2011 I quit posting free shows online via show time listings. I now paint when I can or feel I need to do facepaint or bodypaint to keep from going insane. My free webcams and chats no longer 247 since I left North America to head to Europe. Halloween 2008 was my last Halloween face painting and body painting for hire in the usa. I sell face paints and body paint if you wish to become a face painter for hire. There is great money to be made in painting for parties and events. I made about 1,000.000 USD on just 1 day but, that was halloween day 2008, I painted lots of people and marketed well to keep paint parties going all year long. Seems funny saying that I started paint parties for face painting at concerts, birthday parties and schools ect all by accident. I put up a face painting page online to show face artists and body artists how I could do art web design and market them for paint parties in my Dallas Newspaper. I used to do printed newspapers in dallas texas and fort worth texas to make a living on posting ads and graphic design & photography etc. Funny how fate worked out. I stated my newspaper while working full time as a Executive Director of marketing in Dallas Texas. I was making 60,000.000 usd a year at that job then making 1,200.00 a month online via my old websites. Not face painting pages but actual art websites. That brought me up to a steady 14,000.00 from the internet every year. If you add the money I made up yearly I was making 74,000.00 US Dollars. That is good money but, I worked alot of hours doing so. I bought a house or got a mortgage for a 180,000.000 House which took most of my money via Electric bills of about 400.00 to 500.00 usd a month and payments for the mortgage company of about 1,300.00 a month. Not counting insurance and taxes on the house. That too was not cheap. I also got stuck with bad mechanics in texas so my car repairs were never ending and very costly. My son was living with me and I was also taking care of my mother. My mother was not able to work or go out much since she had polio since she was 5 years old. My family never seemed to have a really nice home or things like I felt they deserved.

       Here I was going to write more details but, I shall just say at my job I was put in charge of training other sales and marketing people in hopes for the company to find more people like me. I have always been the best in sales and jobs that I do when you look at me vs others. It is just my nature even though I hate sales and hate being in charge of people or telling them where to go and what to do etc. Grin. Anyway after about 5 years of working hard and long for the company they hooked me up with more work and less pay since I went from making 60,000.00 every year for 5 years to then making only 40,000.00 every year for 2 years. I had not much money after paying mortgage bills and such. I still had the extra 14,000.00 a year from the internet work but, later my cost of living went even higher in ways. The reason my salary went so low was due to the fact that I was paid only 35,000.00 yearly and the rest was a steady commission on sales at just 2% commissions. To make that part short I can say I was scammed by one of the women that I was paid to train. She was not good on the phone or at sales or anything in ways. It was so hard to train her but, the old lady was a friend of the company owners father. What a mess eh. Anyway, I told the owner I was giving my notice to quit and find another job since I was paying for a house myself and could hardly keep the payments up on that pay. He then asked what happened to all my sales that month. I showed him the ladies desk was covered in my sales with her name on them. Seems this lady was calling the sales appointments I had to reset due to over booked salesmen and things. What a total mess that was  but, worse yet it was found that she was also just taking my leads and putting her name on them to keep them as her sales. When looking into it the sad truth was found to be that she only set a few appointments herself that month and all going out and sold were my appointments. The owner check and verified then said he was so very sorry and he knew it was wrong to let that happen to me. He then tried to give me back all my leads and appointments but, In ways it showed more his true colors. Not long before all this he showed how he was by his constant dealing with other people. I felt sorry for them for years as they would come and go but, I never had a bad day so sadly was stuck there eh grin. Ok sorry for the babble. As most companies say when you leave they pay you commission you earn. They never do that to anyone of course. Oddly the owner and new sales manager etc speak of the lady that worked there running all the salesmen herself and making them such great runs and money etc. That was me of course they do not tell how they reamed me and I let to make more money on a self employment idea *my own newspaper in dfw* grin.

    I guess that is life eh. My Dallas newspaper did not bring in any of that income worth mentioning until I went full time on the newspaper and put out about 10,000 copies a month minimum.  At a point my newspaper and websites then made over 75,000.000 that was the time I was able to quit my job and go full time new reporting and doing printed news in dallas & fort worth texas etc. until the fall of the american economy due to George Bush and his terrorist aka the usa military and followers grin. Of course texas people often tried to rip me off. I even ended up getting robbed at gun point while I was out getting ads in a not cool place grin. Just about any place in Dallas after dark is not a fun place to be grin.

   When I think of how hard I worked for so many years and the fact that I have now Nothing to show for it except age and stress it really makes me kind of sad. I now work only from about 5:00am or at times 7:00am to about 10:00 or 11:00pm. I no longer do newspapers and ads for people. I do not even market much to get ads online via my news site since it now is a store website. If I take a day or two off in a month it stresses me out since I feel like I am wasting time and life. I only hoped to build up money to leave for my son in my death. My plan was to work all the time and sleep a few hours then wake and shower, eat and work again. I did that for several years as I was doing the news website and newspaper. I went out monthly to put out the news papers that I printed, wrote, designed and got ads for all myself. It was lots of work and really hard to justify since my ads were so cheap and people often tried to tell me they would pay next month for ads that month. I fell for that scam too many times and never meet a texan I could trust. People started posting ads on my website for cheap prices then seemed to forget to renew ad payments. For me it was easier to keep the ads online free for several months in hopes they would remember to pay again. None of them did so one day I took all ads that were behind in payment for months offline. Texans then started emailing me wanting to pay to repost ads & saying that my ads were the best ads online for the price and they did well making money off their art, stores, paintings, party booking etc. I guess if they did so well with making money thanks to my ads it seemed odd to me that they forgot to pay for more than just a month or two. Trust me people know when bills are due and most people like me would try to pay bills ahead of time or on a schedule etc. It is all a bit more sad on my life and working hard on jobs etc. I will not go there it is in a book I wrote that probably is not worth finishing. I only have the facepaint poetry books out and not even on sale anymore.
