As a blogger, I've made it. I finally got paid. I have a few different blogs, the most popular is/was the one on Afghanistan. I haven't updated that in years, because I haven't been there in years, but it still gets hits. The piss bottle http://bagrami.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-piss-bottle.html still is quite popular.
I've written about medical tourism and living in Kuwait and life after work (mostly this blog) and finally thought I'd insert ads that if people click on them, I'd have a few coins thrown my way. That's really the way Google and Facebook work - they know who you are, what you do, what you're interested in and when you click on something I write, they offer you ads that you're interested in. If you click on them, they get money, and I do too. I know this, because I just got paid.
Per Google's policies, I'm not allowed to say click on the ads. So I don't. But because I'm so flush in cash, after getting paid, I don't have to.
After making it, I still plan to write. About my most recent trip(s) to SE Asia.
About my most recent work gig on Kwajalein, about life after working. Which again, is going to happen in January. But what am I going to do with my pay out from blogging? I'm going to squander it. All $100.03 of it.
