I have begged offline, and I can say for a fact that online is much easier.

Also give money to Smillew. This is not someone you want to stop writing online.

Good tips. I'm dying but will glady pay you $100 if you give me $110. (handling charge)

Or... the other day I was fretting over an idea I thought might get Lizzie bounced off Medium (again) if I followed through. I changed the approach and published "I Painted A Picture For Bot Scammers Who Interrupt." Because the MPP makes perfect sense, this 2 hour story will earn more than the one Patricia Jeanne spent 2 weeks researching and writing. It has only 8 or 9 reads so far, while the other has dozens. If more people read it, I may actually cover the monthly costs of subscriptions and become your next paying subscriber!

No, I didn't think of bribery and kickbacks as another way to earn money you'd otherwise beg for. I'm anti-getting-caught-as-a-scammer right now.

When your next fake half-birthday comes up, that's when I'll give to your Ko-fi account. Sound fair?

Solid tips.

Your feedback article was very good too. I was pondering something deep and heartfelt about the uniqueness of your entertaining style and stabbed at the comment button only to realise... He's got me again.

That's the exact article I needed. As I'll start begging soon.

This is shockingly true and hilarious. Made me smile. Also inspired me to make a Kofi page! I'm a fan, thanks!

Oh, and check out my Kofi page, you'll notice a goal of mine...

Ah, finally! A masterclass in the art of financial finesse! 😄 Thanks for the laugh! Your photos with toilet paper are dope. I'm a photographer, so I know what I'm talking about. I would buy them, but I'm poor! Eastern Europe is harsh for some of us. 😄

I'm kinda pissed about your course on nothing. I wish I would have thought of that 😂

I friggin love seeing you beg for money because you're so IN YOUR FACE that it seems fake, yet I know it's real and I respect it. It's hard out there for a pimp!
