[racket-users] Re: [racket-money] near-term bootstrap monetizing blog to ??? to book to ???
These all sound like perfectly reasonable ideas. Advertising is a tough way to earn money these days, but it's easy to set up if you're willing to use a standard platform like AdSense. I recommend against managing it yourself and trying to personally locate advertisers so as to enable complete privacy. That will not have positive ROI. You sound confident that you can get 10-100k readers per article within a couple of weeks. That's a large enough audience that you actually could make money advertising, but it's also a very big ask. It might be worth re-examining that assumption -- do you have specific evidence for it, maybe in the form of prior efforts at building an audience? I'm certainly willing to read whatever your write -- you've been incredibly helpful here on RU and demonstrated mastery of your subject, so I suspect the rest of your work would also be high-quality. That said, RU is a small community. How are you going to acquire the rest of that audience -- do you already have a large following on Facebook, Quora, or another significant community? How will you get the word out? If you really can get 100k followers then I would recommend going the Patreon route. The average Patreon user gives about $3, so if you can get 1% of your readers to sign up then you'll be making significant bank and you'll have a relatively predictable income stream. I would definitely suggest having multiple reward tiers, since price anchoring is a thing, and don't be afraid to go big on the higher-level one. I also suggest having your highest tier being one where the reward is access to you personally; I have a $200 tier with the reward "4x / year I'll read and comment on up to 5,000 words of your writing, or we can talk for up to an hour on Skype/Hangouts/whatever." This was created at the explicit request of a reader. A friend of mine has a similar tier that he's also gotten a patron for, so mine isn't a one-off. Affiliate links are not evil as long as you explicitly label them as such. Something like "Hey, if you want to buy the product I just described, could you please support me by using my ? It doesn't cost you anything extra and it helps me a lot." Merch is also an option. It's easy to sell T-shirts, mugs, etc with your brand on them, and to do so in an on-demand way so that you're not holding inventory. Merch also segues well into dropshipping; if you write an article about (e.g.) great car tires, you could have a "Buy Now" link that will purchase them from an appropriate dealer and have them shipped to the person. Again, you aren't sinking money into inventory and the source is glad for the business. You can either arrange a commission with them (making it effectively an affiliate link) or you can charge a slight markup. If the source doesn't have an affiliate program and you want to dip your toe in the water without going to the effort of integrating a dropshipping service then you could keep it manual at the start: Have the reader pay you the price + a slight markup via PayPal and you purchase and ship the (e.g.) tires manually (presumably through the source's website). If you find a lot of demand, automate it. Good luck!

As Дмитрий points out the largest divisor of a number is the number itself. Maybe you are looking for the second largest factor. Anyway, people in this list won't help anyone do homework problems. If only because we all here believe that instead of helping we would actually preventing from learning. However, I'll give you some food for thought. The HtDP book contains two sections that you may find useful: - Section 9.3 on natural numbers - The chapter about generative recursion (divide and conquer algorithms) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
