Hello SubStack! My government name is Marc. I write a blog about freedom tech on [nostr](https://start.njump.me/). I decided to cross post this blog on Substack because more people use Substack then [habla.news](https://habla.news/).
## A Free And Open Source Blog
This blog is written using the Creative Commons 0 licence. Since I write about free and open source software, I thought it would be silly to keep my writing behind a paywall. I would rather my prose be available for free for all. This means all of my work is available for free, but to be honest, I like the subscription model. If SubStack gave me an option to charge sats, I would use their subscription service. Since they don't, I set up an account with [Flash](https://paywithflash.com) using [Alby Hub](https://albyhub.com).
### Ads Suck, But Product Reviews Can Help Bootstrap The Circular Economy
**Ads** suck as much paywalls, but I also wish to monetize this. Therefore, I have decided to try Jack Spirko's Membership Brigade model I learned about on [The Side Hustle Show](https://fountain.fm/episode/YjUia39xEzXvFGNoBNUO). I already was a member when I listened to this episoxe, bur the basi idea is ro charge $5.00 a month. For this price, Jack saves his listeners money by procuring discoounts for products and services he uses and woek great foe him. He basically gives product reviews for his advertizors and his membership brigade recieves discounts for those products and services. Since I'm just starting out, I don't have any discounts to offer yet, but I have some deas. I also recomend free and open source software that can save you money because it's free.
These are not ads. They are more like consumer reviews. There is a bitcoin circular economy developing on nostr. I want to recomend great products from this circular economy like LeatherMint's belts. They're not cheap, but very high quality. He hand crafts these belts to a size customized to yoir wasteline. He's from Canada and won't take American Express because he sells these high quality belts for sats.
That was not an ad. It's my honest opinion. I give my recomendations to the Marc's Mention Members. The goal is to provide value by saving you sats. It's still a woek in progress.
### Shop Marc's Merch
I also created a merch shop on shopstr.store. This is nostr powered shopping, an online mall that uses the native currency of the Internet. This is a quientisential example of freedom tech. Indon't have too many products, but myngoal is to add more. I'm working on personalized coffee mugs, but I don't have a minimally viable product just yet. Until then, I'll sell other stuff. I also have tk test it some more before I start taking realoney. :)
Thanks for reading.
