Howdy ho. I've gotten asked this a lot today, and of course previously, on how to best support my work.
Firstly, I want to thank you for even considering it, it really means a lot. You have no idea how much this means to me.
The best way, of course, is to just tell people about my projects:
If you have any use for these, please consider subscribing or letting your dear friends know that they exist. I'd love to grow Sublime Ads more one of these days.
An indirect way to show your support is to sign up to Micro.blog. I work 2 days a month on the app and some other things, so that ultimately goes to making Micro.blog more viable, and pay the bills 😋
My income needs are small and I can operate at ~$2500 a month and live OK. My biggest expenses are rent (~$1000), school (~$500) and whatever social (~$500) and tax (😭) payments I need to pay a month. As I always say, I have zero loans, or own the bank massive amounts of money, so I don't pay for any of that.
If you want to support me with money, you can do so, and there are details on my support me page.
Whilst I don't yet offer in-app purchases for Gluon, you can make a one time donation or even make a small subscription payment on Buy Me A Coffee. There are different monthly tiers. I even offer my time for some of them, if you want to work together. There are also small advertising opportunities with Gluon, details are here.
Whilst my freelance gig looks like a ball of shame as of late (blame empty promises), you can also perhaps consider hiring me for any projects you might want me to look at, or work on, for you. I have no clue what I'm doing, but that's ok... who does? 😅 Don't look at prices too much.
If you have donated in the past, I just also want to say thank you for believing in me. Also a huge thank you to everyone that uses my apps and continues to support me. Even just a nice comment here and there always makes my day (so thank you for all the comments to date) ✌️❤️
I still have a glimmer of hope I can turn everything around this year... I don't want to stop doing what I do, because it gives me energy and life.
Well, thank you for reading this so far to the end. Just you reading it means a lot.
