:bookmark: ITT we discuss how eom.dev makes money. This thread is intended both as an advertisement for my own business and a resource for other self-hosted content creators. Readers are encouraged to ask questions, offer advice, solicit business relations, and criticize the business practices of eom.dev.

Contracts & Consultations

eom.dev is both the home of @eric’s content and a demonstration of a generally applicable, self-hosted and open source platform for engineering and publishing. If you would like help deploying a similar platform for yourself, you can schedule a free 30 minute consultation to discuss your project and @eric’s potential involvement.

Subscriptions

Members of eom.dev can support the platform through a monthly subscription. A subscription is a donation - rewards and benefits may be offered to subscribers, but they are not guaranteed. Subscriptions are the most direct way to support the platform and each one is greatly appreciated! This feature is powered by the Discourse Subscriptions Plugin, which, in turn, is powered by Stripe.

Sponsorships

This platform currently has no sponsors nor any sponsored product reviews. Reach out to @eric by email or by scheduling an appointment if you would like to change that!

Amazon

Amazon Associate links are used when products are referenced. Products purchased using these links return a commission to the platform. Posts containing associate links will be clearly marked as follows:

:warning: This post contains affiliate links. This site receives commissions upon sales generated from such links. Thank you for your support!

Doing so is, in fact, a requirement of both the Amazon Associate program and the United States Federal Trade Commission:

YouTube

There is no content on the following YouTube channels that is not also here on Discourse (after 2025); further, much of this content is created with reference to eom.dev services. In other words, eom.dev is the primary platform for @eric’s content. Nevertheless, some content is still uploaded to YouTube and that content is monetized through the YouTube Partner Program.

Eric O Meehan

@eric’s primary YouTube channel is monetized through advertisements. The platform offers additional monetization features, such as super chats, but they are not currently in use on this channel. Some of these features, such as channel membership, would be in direct competition with my own streams of revenue.

TopHatRick

The gaming channel is not yet monetized as it has not yet reached 1000 subscribers.

Monero and P2Pool

You can support eom.dev directly by donating Monero to the following address:

Or by joining the P2Pool mining pool with the following XMRig configuration:

{
    "autosave": true,
    "donate-level": 5,
    "cpu": true,
    "opencl": false,
    "cuda": false,
    "pools": [
        {
            "coin": "monero",
            "algo": null,
            "url": "p2pool.eom.dev:3333",
            "user": "yourwalletaddresshere",
            "pass": "x",
            "tls": true,
            "keepalive": true,
            "nicehash": false
        }
    ]
}

Replace yourwalletaddresshere with your Monero wallet primary ID (begins with 4). You can also use the wallet address above if you would like to donate 100% of your mining contribution to eom.dev. Please note that the donate-level field is a donation to the Monero developers and cannot be set lower than 1 without compiling XMRig from source.
