If you want people to pay you for writing, you end up doing something. Right now "something" seems to consist of walling it off, begging for donations, or running ads. Everybody would love a better option.

If all you want is to be read, you have more options. But it's still hard for people to find you, since everyone else has the exact same options. Turns out lots of people will write for free.
