THE NO EXTRA SOURCE STORY
It was a quiet, rainy night in the bustling city of Leeds, England.
A crescent moon cast its dim light on the face of a sombre student through a rooftop window. They sat, staring at the moon, wondering if they would ever be able to fulfil their childhood dream of becoming a writer. Their job applications were being rejected as fast as they could send them.
Every position seemed to demand prior work experience, and getting that ‘prior experience’ required just that: prior experience.
As they sat, suffocating in the sea of limitations that stood in their way to success, they decided to take things into their own hands…
Starting a private blog seemed like a good way to get some experience that might impress future employers and land them a job – and impress it did.
This was hardly a seamless process though, forcing them to delve into web design, branding, coding, and a series of other exploits that went far beyond their niche of writing.
Nonetheless, ambition prevailed and the blog proved pivotal in securing a solid job…
But as they went along in their new role, having worked so hard to secure it, a lingering thought permeated the back of their mind – a constant nagging that never seemed to settle.
How many others are there like me? Hungry for success and full of ambition but missing just one opportunity to prove their worth?
When they decided to turn the blog public and open the opportunity to writers all over the globe, the answer became apparent…
You are not alone.
This problem – this gap in the market – is universal. And so the idea was born: what if we could fill this gap?
The endless possibilities flooded the mind of this struggling student as they poured the ideas into a nearby laptop. Fingers tapped away as the rain pattered on the roof above when three words resounded throughout every fibre of their brain:
NO
EXTRA
SOURCE
