How to Monetize a Blog

A guide on turning your diary into dollars.

Edit: found in replies, h/t @lmorchard!

sorry to the uncredited person whose link led me to open this page in a tab; when I came back hours later I searched for their distinctively phrased description on two networks and got nothing

@kissane i skipped around in a few tracks - got very strong aphex twin vibes!
@kissane very OG The Matrix vibes
@kissane I played guitar on Mantis and Bass on Eyes on those tracks! His stuff is so good. Also, if you see something called Steam Punked, that's how he and I became friends. He randomly messaged me at 4AM when I started streaming with a remix of me spooking myself in Outlast. We've been best friends ever since.
@kissane hahahah this is fantastic, and i love all the bonkers spooky fonts :D

@kissane

is... is that a sexy bear version of the Bounty guy?

i'm down, but these are new feelings for me concerning a company mascot

@kissane oh this is so cool!!! Took me a sec to grok what's going on, but ahhh it makes me miss *websites*, you know?
@kissane you can make money without leaving your !

@kissane Agreed.

This is beautiful.

@NosirrahSec @kissane im a huuuuuge fan of that fun typography stuff and wish i was better at it. there's a weird al music video called 'word crimes' that does this stuff too and its just delightful
@kissane This was written by my best friend @modem. We worked for the same company (which just laid me off) and he is grossly underappreciated, so it makes me happy to see people enjoying this. :D
@BlueBassist @modem oh my god I'm so sorry about the layoff and please tell him everyone on the internet loves him
@kissane @modem He deserves all of it. I can only hope that someone with a deserving opportunity will stumble on his post and whisk him away from his current garbage employer. He should be doing so much cooler shit than they're wasting his talents on.

@kissane

This made me laugh, this made me nearly cry, this made me learn stuff, this made me think.

Best thing I've come across in ages!

@kissane My favorite part was when it got Danielewskian.
@kissane the end result is one of George Takei's sites
@kissane How effective is this against doing the whole, "List of 100 something something...", with 5 individual click through pages for each one that have a small phrase each...and a gazillion refreshing adverts? You know, "100 celebrities that have sharted in public with images of the skidmarks," stuff.
@kissane I suddenly want to buy paper towels and or toilet paper
@kissane This is delightfully obnoxious. 😂
@kissane Holy crap, this is amazing
@kissane OK, but tell me more about the robot lawnmowers driven by chatbots.
