standing on the shore

You stand on the shore... Tell me, do you believe in miracles? Do you make wishes on shooting stars, or perhaps on New Year's, at Christmas? On your birthday, when you blow out the candles? 🎂

What if I told you I have (will have, I promise) a magic bottle, whose purpose is to bring you closer to your dream? 🍷

You write about your dream 💌, I put the note in the enchanted bottle, go live, and together we launch it into the sea for the sea god to fulfill! 🏝 How do you like my idea?

I'm guessing this will be in early April, before I leave Coatzacoalcos. The bottle will be ECO 🍀, i.e., biodegradable eventually — hard to find one like that around here.

You can tell me about your dream right under this post or directly in a private message if you need privacy.

I also ask you to repost this publication on your wall — after all, it's not every day that someone like me, across the ocean in a completely non-touristy city with a barely pronounceable name on the Gulf of Mexico coast, launches a bottle filled with stories of your dreams into the sea.

At the same time, I've come up with another little idea, similar to this one, but not everything at once... gradually.

I also want to say that for the first time in my life, I felt like trying to earn a little from my blog. Out of curiosity — to see what comes of it.

Yesterday, someone from Perfluence wrote to me and offered to place some kind of ad on my wall — my choice. At first I hesitated and was about to say "no," because I didn't see much point in it for myself, at least not now. But the manager suggested I promote their platform itself in my post, and I agreed. Why not? After all, I'm not advertising cosmetics, but a platform for bloggers where they can earn money.

According to the manager, they consider bloggers with 500 followers or more. With that many followers, of course, it's hard to believe in success, but from at least 3000, you could probably give it a try. Maybe you're a beginner blogger looking to monetize your blog, and here's your chance then, one of the opportunities.

Nothing, as I understand it, to pay upfront — just register via the link bit.ly/3JXNmw4, pick a project you like, submit an application, and wait for approval. Then they give you an affiliate link, you place it in your post somehow unobtrusively, and wait for the first money to hit your balance — nothing complicated.

Give it a try, maybe it'll work out. As you can see, I just tried it myself. In the future, I promise not to annoy anyone with too much advertising — that's not why I run this blog. But sometimes, I'll probably insert something if I find the ad interesting.

That's my principle — if I'm advertising someone, it's not just because they're a good friend of mine, but also because the topic is genuinely useful. 🌎

I'm waiting for your wishes, my friends! ⛵

Have you been to the sea?
In heaven, they only talk about the sea...
And about the sunset 🌅
