FAQ
Hey, this post links to something that does not exist/ doesn’t have images.
Over the years the blog has changed quite a lot and some link may now be obsolete. And there was the great data loss of 2017, where I lost a lot of pictures that were, sadly, only uploaded on here, as far as I know.
If you find a post like this, and you would want working links and/or pictures, use the contact form below and it will jump to the top of my “to-fix list” for old articles.
Some stuff is just outdated or done with technlogy I have since then upgraded. As such, if I can’t fix it, I will make new one. With Hookers, and Black Jack.
What’s up with the ” No excuses, hobby like a champion” motto
I hate excuses. I hate ” Yes, but… ” starting sentences. There is perhaps nothing I hate more than a can’t do attitude towards anything in life. Specially something like a hobby
Ads, Affiliates and other Money-related things
Not a question in itself, but a topic that comes around quite often: Wait, you make money off this?!
Short answer is yes; long answer is it’s not really costing you a dime.
My approach to monetization is quite simple: if you have to pay for something, you get something.
Dollar E-books are a good example: You pay a dollar; you get an e-book; I get roughly 35 cents.
That’s why there’s no Patreon or “ad-free” version of the site for subs; this content is meant to be available to everyone.
Another way I make money is through amazon affiliate links. For example, when I review an airbrush, or talk about things to buy, the link takes you to amazon. If you chose to buy it, I get a couple of dollars, at no additional cost to you.
In terms of integrity, I only ever link to products I have used and like. Everything on this blog is meant to be positive. If I try something and it’s crap, I won’t even mention it, let alone offer you an opportunity to buy it.
