this is a page where i am transparent about the fact that, as a newly disabled person, I have very little access to ongoing, stable income and I need to be creating pathways for more financial support. there are a few ways I’m looking at doing this and I want to outline them.
- Ads. I can put ads on this website. I don’t want to do that because I find inserted ads to be very overstimulating and disruptive to the website experience but it would be a passive way to monetize this blog with no need to rely on contributions directly from readers.
- Tips. My venmo is @colocha_rachel and my CashApp is $ColochaRachel. You could tip me there if you liked something you read here.
- “Subscriptions”. I am committed to making anything I put out free and available to anyone. That said, I could explore a Patreon-esque model where monthly recurring contributions to my ability to pay my rent are made by people with means to support me that way.
i haven’t activated on any of these models yet but I expect to starting early in 2022 and want to be open and honest about that.
