Running a blog: the whole path

Individual pages of the catalogue answer individual questions. This one ties them into the order in which the questions arise: what to publish → how not to do it by hand → how to tell what came of it → how to earn from it.

1. Content

• Creating content with AI — who owns what is made, and whether models are trained on your data
• Rights to the result and training — a summary across all AI tools, including differences between plans
• What platforms require of AI content — where a disclosure mark is needed
• Requirements for material — sizes, durations, formats

2. Automation

• Automation — what is allowed, what is forbidden, and what it is done with
• Frequency and limits — how much you may publish

3. Analytics

• Which metrics the platform gives out — and which it gives to no one
• Depth of history — how many years back you can compare

4. Earnings

• Barrier to entry — what I come with and what is open to me
• The first ninety days — how long to wait
• Earnings — who pays the author, and for what
• Chains — the whole route, including the forbidden ones

This path promises no income. Every page on it is facts with sources; how much you will manage to earn we do not know and do not guess.
