This was the last time I applied for monetizing this blog. As before, I received an automatic response I do not qualify for ads. I need to make certain adjustments to fall in line with their community standards and rules and regulations that are too long for me to read and in the end provide no concrete answers. I suspect my foul language in some articles may be to blame. Well, too bad, I'm not bending to your rules so fuck off!
Over time I kept seeing both blog and vlog owners asking for donations even though they were monetized. In some cases this happened right at the beginning of their articles or videos, in others they keep repeating it throughout.I'm not the type to beg for donations. I don't show any link to an account on donation related sites because I have no such account. It's not my goal to make a living from monetizing my blog. I will post people's ads for $10 a piece if and when asked, but otherwise I don't care about it especially since I hate the whole monetizing process. If anyone wants to donate anything to me they can do so by purchasing something found to the left of the page. This way they will get to benefit from that donation as well.
My only intention behind monetizing the blog was to have a constant regular income in USD regardless how small. By accident I came across a site that calculated my blog would generate somewhere in between $8 and $15 per month based on traffic, which would be more than enough for what I had in mind.
My intention was to open a bank account in USD I would link to Xoom and use it for international transfers other than through the banking system. While opening an USD account is not a problem, banks here charge constant administrative fees especially for foreign currencies. It would be irritating to make monthly payments from my pocket for an empty balance, even if those fees are small. The catch is I'd have to place physical money into that account and for such an operation I'd have to pay an additional fee.
I'm not making a living from the occult and my income from this field is far from being constant and stable. I may earn $100 today and $10 within six months or more. While I have the services I provide in links found to the left of the page, I refer to them in articles only when necessary. I don't ad anywhere, I only posted it on social media and even there the damn platform closed my account out of the blue for a week a couple of months ago for no reason.
Most of the time I rely on regular customers and word of mouth. Since I can't stop being myself, I won't stfu when it comes to calling out dumbasses I more or less had at least one argument with over time because they said stupid practical occult related things and imposed them onto others. This worked against me popularity wise since those dumbasses are surrounded by groupies and yes men who've spread not so pretty things about me. Moreover, I've not either the disposition or habit of indulging customers' wishful thinking like some occult service providers. So far I've lost a couple of customers due to having hurt their feelings by bluntly telling them what others won't in regards to how spells actually work and why their expectations are far from reasonable given their described circumstances.
And even when my services, classes and books generate income, it will be subjected to fees. There's publisher site fees that are some 80% or more, gumroad fees (10% + tax) and of course paypal fees. On top of that, as of recently gumroad introduced discover fees, discover being one of their features I guess, towards which they constantly direct potential customers. Those are 30%! Even so, gumroad payments aren't instant but after a week or two.
Anyway, I want to use Xoom because I'm fed up with paypal and their antics. Not only they won't allow people from countries like my own to send money to their wallet from their linked bank account, only the other way around, but their customer service is awful to say the least. Their online chat bot is of little help most of the time and so I'd have to call their office in Luxembourg at international call charges. People who barely speak let alone understand basic English answer the calls and provide the same automatic responses as the chat bot. May you all die slowly and painfully!
I do have the option of receiving payment through revolut and so far it seems to be working very well. But that's only for rituals or consultations I would do for others, or elections.
I'm done venting.
