Nonetheless its still important to have some money, right? Are you making any progress on that?

One thought: I think selling products is the best way to make money for money's sake. Medium is a wonderful idea, and it's definitely where I'm putting most of my energy right now (building habits) but I have now a tiny bit of experience doing Medium, and a tiny bit of experience selling a chapbook on Instagram. The results: Medium is a simpler pattern with more consistent results, but selling a product directly makes more money faster, but is less consistent and more difficult.

In the money world, have you tried releasing and marketing a book? I recommend Amazon KDP if you don't already have something for that. That's what I've been using and I love it
