Why Greens Water Became Monetized

For the overly curious, a confluence of events led to Greens Water blog’s monetization. Here’s a peek behind the curtain:

The algo suddenly pushed my numbers up, seemingly toward food and lifestyle content in general, which was a surprise.

It seemed there were some significant lurkers with much larger followings. That’s cool. Felt the vibe, though it cannot be confirmed. AI says that it’s a common experience. A great many creators have my admiration so maybe the love is “much”. That’s slang for mutual and is used in spoken English. 

There were rumblings of Greens Water imitators. Imagine that, given that the coverage is a spontaneous, boutique experience harkening back to an individual, personal story.  Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. We’ll leave it be.   

There is a stockpile of content, from divine to cringe, to pull from, in order to sustain the blog.  The one rule I had when starting Greens Water: I would make mistakes, removing myself from unproductive pettiness, but allowing for any real and necessary corrections. 

Powered by AI, but still retaining an individual voice.

Now that you know the rationale, you can be at peace and have a restful mind.

Uh oh! So many leaks all over the place….

but not with these Mason Jars with lid and straw that are super fun. You can infuse different fruits and juices, add ice, syrups, and spices, have your iced coffee or tea.   No more leftover fruit hanging around the crisper, just chop and throw in, reusable straw, the straw attachment lid is easier to use than an original mason jar.

Are you ok? The K‑Shaped Economy

Image
If you’re trying to understand all the K‑shaped economy talk, here’s the simplest way to picture it: the standard K chart tracking time and performance is an inverted, backward K tilted roughly 90 degrees to the right.  Sometimes you’ll see an upright K instead:   One arm goes up (winners). One arm goes down (strugglers).  Hanging off the upper K arm like the “Hang In There Kitty” posters of yore? You are not alone. There are some interesting K charts out there. Which arm of the K are you on? In good economic times or bad, there are cookies. Tate’s Bake Shop, from near Greens Water’s hometown, are cookies with a dedicated following:   https://amzn.to/3yqz7tO Photo from Unsplash, the “crowd‑sourced library of high‑quality free‑to‑use stock photos.” Credit: markus‑spiske‑53AIdxedO9g‑unsplash.
