#and i can't even fucking talk to them about this bc they need me to be the strong one for once

[angelic-odette]

When I complained about emotional abuse and parental favoritism of my brother from my family, she told me I "should focus on myself instead of blaming everyone else for my problems" and that "not everyone's out to get you". I knew that! I was like 13-15 at the time, how tf was it my fault for knowing I was being treated badly?

When I talked about how I was traumatized by being restrained when I was overwhelmed ever since I was a kid by both teachers and my parents, I was told I should stop being a danger to everyone around me. Sure, I could act out a lot, it's almost like I was a kid who's emotional needs were being ignored and was punished for fucking everything I did anyway so I stopped caring.

She let my mom talk to her first to decide what I needed to talk about bc autistic people apparently can't be trusted talk about their issues, which effectively got the problems I actually needed to talk about ignored and written off as delusional, even though they were very real and a lot of them caused by the woman she was letting decide my emotional needs for me.

Just saw this comment on a story posted a month ago.

*cries in Eddie Munson Solo Series no one wanted to read, interact with or request for*

No shade to the person that commented this on their own fic if you recognize it. It's not their fault. I'm not mad at them. More crying in the tags.

my review of Moonwalk: hot mess. ★★★.

[gu6chan]

Not to be dramatic and point fingers but why is it that the worst people with no respect towards art or anything that doesn't involve mindless consumption for "the lore" always have to be drakengard 3 and nier fans. like i don't even try to look and search for things to complain about regarding them but somehow every stupid fucking thing in this fanbase comes back to them

Making money through blogging involves a combination of creating high-quality content, growing an audience, and monetizing your blog effectively.

Making money through blogging involves a combination of creating high-quality content, growing an audience, and monetizing your blog effectively. Here are some strategies to help you get started:

1. Choose a Profitable Niche

Pick a niche that you're passionate about but also has a potential audience interested in it. Popular niches include:

Personal finance

Health and fitness

Travel

Lifestyle

Technology

Food

Fashion

Ensure there's enough demand for content in that area and that you can create consistent, valuable content.

2. Build Your Audience

Consistent Content: Publish regularly and ensure your content is high quality. Write blog posts that address your audience’s problems or needs.

SEO (Search Engine Optimization): Optimize your content to rank in search engines like Google. Research keywords relevant to your niche and use them strategically in your posts.

Social Media: Promote your blog on social platforms like Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, and Facebook to reach more people and drive traffic to your blog.

Email Marketing: Create an email list to nurture a dedicated audience. You can offer free resources like eBooks or checklists in exchange for email sign-ups.

3. Monetize Your Blog

There are several ways to make money from your blog:

a) Affiliate Marketing

Join affiliate programs where you promote other people's products and earn a commission for each sale made through your referral link.

Some popular affiliate programs include Amazon Associates, ShareASale, and CJ Affiliate.

Write reviews, how-to guides, or round-up lists with affiliate links.

b) Display Ads

You can make money by displaying ads on your blog. Google AdSense is a popular network that places ads on your site and pays you based on impressions or clicks.

The more traffic you have, the higher your potential earnings.

c) Sponsored Posts

Companies might pay you to write blog posts about their products or services.

Build a strong enough readership, and brands will reach out to you directly, or you can pitch to them.

d) Sell Products or Services

Digital Products: Create and sell eBooks, printables, courses, or guides.

Physical Products: If relevant to your niche, you can sell physical goods or branded merchandise.

Services: Offer services such as consulting, coaching, or freelance writing if you have expertise in your niche.

e) Membership or Subscription

Offer premium content to your audience for a monthly or yearly fee. You can create a membership area on your blog where subscribers get access to exclusive resources.

Examples include Patreon or building a private community for paid members.

f) Freelance Blogging

If you have good writing skills, offer freelance blogging services to other businesses. Many companies hire freelance bloggers to write for their websites, and you can earn by working with them.

g) Create a Course or Webinar

If you have expertise in your niche, create a course or webinar and sell it on platforms like Teachable, Udemy, or directly on your blog.

4. Grow Your Traffic

Collaborate with Others: Guest post on other blogs, collaborate with influencers in your niche, or participate in blogger round-ups.

Use Pinterest: For niches like lifestyle, food, fashion, and travel, Pinterest is a powerful tool to drive traffic. Design eye-catching pins that link to your blog.

Paid Advertising: Once you’ve optimized your content and built some organic traffic, consider investing in paid ads (Google Ads, Facebook Ads) to boost traffic further.

5. Optimize for Conversion

Clear Call-to-Action: Whether it's signing up for an email list, buying a product, or clicking an affiliate link, make sure your blog has clear CTAs (calls to action) to guide your audience toward the next step.

A/B Testing: Experiment with different designs, headlines, and strategies to see what resonates best with your audience and leads to higher conversions.

6. Track and Scale

Use analytics tools (like Google Analytics) to track your traffic, identify top-performing content, and make data-driven decisions.

As your blog grows, consider outsourcing tasks (e.g., content writing, social media management) to focus on scaling your income.

Summary of Monetization Methods:

Affiliate Marketing

Display Ads (e.g., Google AdSense)

Sponsored Posts

Selling Products/Services (Digital or Physical)

Membership or Subscription

Freelance Blogging

Creating and Selling Courses/Webinars

By combining these methods, consistently producing valuable content, and growing your audience, you can turn blogging into a profitable venture.

@viopolis asked- Character Setting! ( do tell! ) send me “character setting!” to learn about my muse’s home! (accepting!)

There's a certain section in Motor City where that street in particular is a permanent farmer's market. Trinkets, jewelry, clothes, food, just about anything you can imagine and most of it is going to be found in that part of the city. You're not going to be able to walk down that street without seeing something different at every single shop.

Newcomers to the city though may be a bit confused when it comes to getting something they'd like though. Items aren't purchased with money but instead, they're bartered for (or you can simply ask if you can have it, most people are willing to give up an item when asked politely enough) either with an item the seller might like or offering to do a task for that person. Time is just as a valuable after all.
