How do you know that? You don't think he's being paid for all this marketing work?
- simonw 8mo agoI'm paid by my GitHub sponsors, who get a monthly summary of what I've been writing about on the basis that I don't want to put a paywall on my content but I'm happy for people to pay me to send them less stuff. I also make ~$600/month from the ads on my site - run by EthicalAds. I don't take payment to write about anything. That goes against my principals. It would also be illegal in the USA (FTC rules) if I didn't disclose it - and most importantly it would damage my credibility as a writer, which is the thing I value most. The big potential money maker here is private consulting based on the expertise (and credibility) I've developed and demonstrated over time. I should do more of that! I have a set of disclosures here: https://simonwillison.net/about/#disclosures https://simonwillison.net/about/#disclosures
