Gets More Challenging the More I Write

I'm not ready to give up on writing yet, but finding titles to write about in Demand Studios is getting more and more challenging.  Most of the requested titles involve technical, computer, or auto repair.  When I find one in crafts, it's so ambiguous it's impossible to decide what the person wants to know.  One title I found today was "How to Wind the Bobbin on an Old Singer".  I've already written one article on "Winding the Bobbin on a Singer Treadle Machine".  How old is old?  Do they want instructions on winding a bobbin for a treadle machine? or an old electric?  And anyway, how hard can winding a bobbin be? 

I guess if you've wound bobbins on various machines from Singer treadle to White, Phaff, and many more brand sewing machines for 60 years it may just seem to be easy.  Maybe I'm just in the mood to rant today.

I'm still working on learning to write for SEO, but just about the time I think I've got it down and my articles, blogs, etc. seem to be picking up quickly in Google rankings, they start bombing. 

OK.  So I'm keeping busy making beaded jewelry patterns.  I put them up for sale at Bead Patterns Boutique and The Beadcoop using the name The Bead Doodler.  Of course it helps to write the description for SEO, but I let the site owners write and promote the sites.
