Monetized

Monetized

I’ve monetized every aspect of my entire life, and if you haven’t too, you’re just giving away potential income. For example, I’m recording this very conversation for my podcast. After doing my taxes, I built a subscription-only Coursera seminar about it. That’s in addition to my dog’s Insta page, my Twitch-streamed workouts, and my Onlyfans of me sleeping. Luckily I sprained my ankle last week; my motivational essay about overcoming the pain turned my Substack newsletter viral. I went on this date and we kissed, but I forgot to film it, so it wasn’t monetizable—I still feel bad about that.
