The views of this article are the perspective of the author and may not be reflective of Confessions of the Professions.
Somewhere along the line, my previous article, acknowledging that this website has reached 3,500 confessions, went missing. But alas, we are definitely at 4,000 confessions. Everyday we can publish a new article is a milestone. It is not easy to come up with content by myself. Luckily for me, I opened this website a long ago to share it with the world. I only knew so much, and as I’m finding out each and everyday, I know very little. Thus, guests posts are and have always been welcome. It does let me know I’m not the only one reading.
This website thrives on the contributions of marketing agencies, freelancers, and other bloggers and writers. Confessions of the Professions is in its 10th year of existence. We are not without our endless thank yous and efforts of being grateful. To every contributor who has donated any type of article or made a suggestion has been a great favor in the advancement for this website. Most contributors who have sent in at least 5 articles has been offered a Confessions of the Professions pen. While many do it without this type of motivation, if we do see your extraordinary contributions, we won’t hesitate to reach out and see if you’d like some Confessions merch.
It started in early 2013 and is still going strong in 2023. In 10 years, we have achieved the milestone of reaching 4,000 articles, publishing 1-3 articles per day, finding a schedule that works for everyone. Publishing a half dozen was too much and publishing just one article was not enough, so we have settled on publishing 3 articles per day, Monday through Friday, and very seldom on weekends or holidays.
I could have never imagined reaching a milestone of 4,000 confessions, but here we are. A website is very much like a small business, whether its run for free, with ads, or promotes different agendas in order to monetize and keep running the website. To keep this website running for so long, it was already know it would be free forever. There is no reason to charge for knowledge. We love your concepts, ideas, and topics for every article you’ve submitted. The financial side comes from my own funding and a partial dependence on people who prefer to pay a rush fee for their articles, usually needing it out within three days. Should you need your article out in a few business days, we’re here to guarantee the timely response.
Our inbox is filled with about a dozen good emails a day. Authentic. Legit. It has been awesome to attract so many people from all over the world, just by keeping a website alive, one that focuses on jobs, careers, and the workplace. You can find some good information while reading some good stories. With this website, I am mostly acting as a blogger or an entertainer, trying to come up with new ideas and ways to tell a story from my perspective while also seeking out the perspectives of others. It’s all just storytelling, mostly, but a lot of truth in it all.
Ignoring the scam and spam emails telling me that they can work on this website and asking them to write me a unique article, but none of them ever do. Only one chose to do so and it ended up being a great article. All it takes is writing unique genuine content that people like. It has been pretty awesome that emails always let me know that the world still knows I am alive. When I stop responding, the world may know that I have passed on. But for now, lets ride the waves unto the futures that await us. It is not about the destination, but rather the journey, the adventure.
Thank you for being a part of the adventure of life’s journey. Whether you have been reading this website for years or have contributed one or many articles, you are greatly appreciated. Anything you do, even mentioning this website, linking to it, reading it, or writing for it is a validation that what we have done here and the content on this website is completely justified. There are no doubts or regrets and we are only working to continue keeping this website going for our next milestone of 4,500 posts.
