Big Milestone for Me: First One-a-Month Member

My little blog is added to the One-a-Month Club’s website. It’s “[a] collection of blogs and other web projects that make supporting them both simple and inexpensive by offering access to everything for as little as $1 per month.” The site is run by the excellent Jarrod over at Hey Dingus, and inspired by Manuel Moreale:

But I recently realised that tiers are the wrong approach. At least for me. I believe in kindness. I believe that if you decide to support something I do, you should get all the benefits, no matter how much you pay.

I also realised that 1$+/month is the best price possible when it comes to supporting online creators. The 1 part means you can set it up and forget about it because it’s a low enough amount that won’t make too much of a difference for the majority of people who are considering supporting online creators. The + part allows you to contribute more if you want to do so. And that’s just perfect.

And recently, I achieved two milestones is one, thanks to Numeric Citizen: Get a mention on a blog I follow, and my first donation.1

Screenshot from the blog post I got the mention in. Linked and explained below.

I honestly choked up a bit, as I read his kind words in the latest edition of The Ephemeral Scrapbook:

While browsing my Micro.blog timeline, I met Erlend from Norway. I came across his Micro.blog hosted website that I have found to be gorgeous and unique in its design and appearance. At first, I didn’t believe this website was hosted on Micro.blog using one of the available visual themes, but yeah, it is. Browsing his website is a delight both visually and with the content. I decided to support him via his Ko-Fi page.

This is the first website I’ve ever made, and I’m very new to this whole “posting things I write online” thing – so encouragement like this really means a lot. But I promise to be very happy with my second One-a-Month member as well, so don’t be afraid to go over to Ko-Fi.org and consider it. ☺️
