motivating w/o hating...

i maintain a few blogs in various places on the web. i was motivated to create the last post by a new opportunity made available by blogger.com & amazon.com. many online retailers offer affiliate programs. the way this works is like sales. if a reader clicks on a link to buy a product at amazon from this blog, i get a commission. the process is essentially transparent.

me being the honest dude that i am, i want to make this clear. i will not be posting up products that i do not own or have an interest in owning. if i post up something that i plan to own or would like to own, i will make the effort to make this clear upon posting. i've been using amazon for over 10 years & i have no complaints w/their customer service.

i'm not in this to hustle cats. i'm doing this because i am an artist & people generally do not willingly pay for creativity. this is not a bitter artist sentiment. it is a historical, observational fact. as an artist who intends to live as 1, i have to find whatever means i can to maintain in this capitalist society that will allow me to continue to be financially free enough to be truly creative. if i can survive off of my art/creations, solid. until that happens, i have to make the necessary moves to maintain self & 4fam.

steal no...

lie no...

hoard no...

hustle yes!

since i personally purchase many items from amazon myself, i'm making this happen. it is an opportunity that will hopefully facilitate other opportunities...

get at me...

PEACE
...be calm...
