Launching: More Mere Civilian
When I started Mere Civilian in 2020 (five years ago), I always treated it as my humble home on the internet and that has not changed thus far.
Personally, I think it is intriguing to a read a stranger's blog whom I know nothing about. Most of the time, we read blog posts or are following people on the socials because they are famous, rich or created products and services that we use and enjoy. However, there are some blogs that I follow because they are interesting. I hope my blog is interesting to you, because I am neither rich nor famous and not a creative either ☹️. Lives of mere civilians are interesting as well.
I am officially launching a membership program because I am curious if people will give money to a stranger, a nobody on the internet. I do not need the money and that's not because I am rich. Mostly certainly not. I don't own a home; I pay rent monthly, and my only asset valued over $10,000 is my Mazda 3, which I bought over ten years ago.
More MereCivilian is a straight forward membership. You pay USD15 a year and get access into a life of a mere civilian. Every dollar you pay gets donated to my favourite charities. The only benefit I get is I will claim a tax deduction for these donations.
My favourite charities are:
If you are not in a position to pay, I humbly request you to reach out to me and I will provide a complimentary membership.
Why a paid membership?
In simple terms, because I want my writing to make a difference. I hope that aligning my blog to do good (charity donations) will motivate me to write more and make be feel that my blog matters; it is helping people.
This blog was never about views. I have always written first and foremost for myself.
That is my pitch. I got nothing else. Hopefully, you can be the force behind Mere Civilian.
