Just a question I’d like to put forward after I had a discussion with a good friend of mine: I really like running this blog, I find it fulfilling, it’s about subject I care and am passionate about, and the years I’ve been running it I often get informed about how I’ve had a positive effect on friends and strangers alike, and that if I could, I wouldn’t mind finding a way to run the blog fulltime and make a living somehow out of something I care so much about, but I also don’t want to ethically compromise myself or the message by charging people?
TLDR: I am thinking about somehow expanding the blog in a way to make it a fulltime career, but A: wouldn’t know how to go about that and B: do it in such a way that I wouldn’t find it ethically compromising, and indeed use the newfound growth to do some more tangible good. I’d never want to become a “palad-influencer”, if you know what I mean. Just thinking if it would be possible to be Wearepaladin full time.
Ok. Thank you everyone for your suggestions and advice. I think what I’ll do is set a completely optional ko fi. Feel free to donate or not, and I will start trying write more content, stories, oaths, character concepts etc. Then depending on that, make either a patreon or video service and try to talk to people directly. I don’t think I have the type of personality to just keep talking forever, but I am told that I have a comforting voice and and presence. So that might be appealing.

Intriguing! I have no idea how one would go about this, but you certainly have my support. Any of my readers have suggestions?
