Writing for the Money: Defending Her Honor

Writing for the Money: Defending Her Honor
Uncle MythMan says ...

I've been all over the Internet, preaching against 'making money on the `net!'

"How can you do such a thing," people might ask, "if you expect to 'write for money' on the `net?" In truth, 'making' and 'doing things for' are two different (though slightly similar-) actions.

Imagine if I were writing for a power (persistence, attraction, genius, etc.)—I would be describing all the wonderful feelings the power gives me, placing that power in a high place for the memory-span of the reader.

'Money' is the greatest power of the world. You might think 'the greatest power of the world' is "love" or "God" or "tradition" or "thoughts," and that's fine—if one of those things gets you your means-of-living.

If I go to the store, I can't leave with food-in-hand unless I give up some money–no matter how much I love the checkout-girl, no matter how Holy I Am, no matter who my ancestors were, no matter what kind of genius I am.

But I here give 'money' that high place—just beneath God. When I speak of 'money,' I speak of the entire Capitalist-system. It irritates me that people believe they are 'making' money from programs that pay out of the profits of people who steal money by falsely convincing the people that "clicking" or "surfing" the particular sites is what makes money (when money is actually made by the work people do to make the products/services available to the potential buyers surfing).

That's not why Capitalism uses money; Capitalism uses money to represent honest work/production. When you claim that you 'make' money with dishonest work, you cast down the name of money–putting it lower on your list than your septic-tank! (which is funny, because your actions continue to place yourself on equal footing to your money ... placing you beneath your septic-tank as well)

It's Your Life-Support System: Get It Up to Sea-Level at-Least!


I–for one–am several meters above my septic-tank (steadily rising as I gain more-and-more friends and/or -money). But my money is not-so-distantly connected to your money.

Only together can we keep money from losing her honor! How will you help?

@eggs\You "Make" Nothing; but You Build False Hopes

The ad-people send the system-owners money because they HOPE to be paid by users' purchases from the system. I'm not saying you're stealing that HOPE away by using a PPC- or PPP-system, but how many of these systems' ads tell you about ALL THE WONDERFUL PRODUCTS YOU CAN BUY without first telling you about ALL THE WONDERFUL MONEY YOU CAN ROB FROM THE BANKS? No wonder money has such a bad name; all people treat her like a whore, so she can naught but comply! I love my money like a lady should be loved---on her own terms, whether mine or not. ... signed, Uncle MythMan---Big Fan of stars like Hot-Hottie Eva Mendes & Vanessa Montagne & Lena Li--Xombie Plan

Clicking on the surfing page

Clicking on the surfing page you will make about thirty cents an hour. If that is how you want to get rich go ahead and good luck. The surfers scientific goal is to gain traffic to your website through your downline exclusivlely freeing your hands up to work hard on what is important...That's about as far as I've gotten.

@Rawnak: Well, Not Exactly 'Paid to Write'

It's more like 'Paid to have written the content with we lead "the right people" to other content,' 'the right people' being those curious enough about the content's subject to 'explore the connected information,' 'exploring' through the method one uses to explore on the web. We are each one brick; the money is given for the whole wall! ... signed, Uncle MythMan---Big Fan of Flat Belly Diet & stars like Vanessa Montagne & Lena Li--Xombie Plan

Great Post Myth

maybe it would sound better if we said we were using our writing talents to "earn money" on the net, instead of "making money"? After all we are doing a job! And we get "paid" to do that job!
