Greg clicked the first link.
The article suggested selling plasma. Greg wasn't sure he had plasma. It also suggested driving for something called Uber, which required a car (Greg didn't have a car), taking online surveys (the first survey site asked for a social security number, which Greg didn't have), and “monetizing your social media presence,” which seemed to require having a social media presence.
He scrolled further.
Content creation, the article said.Platforms like Patreon, YouTube, and FansOnly allow creators to earn money directly from their audience. Some creators earnthousands per month!
Thousands per month. That sounded like a lot. Surely that would cover dinner.
Greg clicked on the link to FansOnly.
The website was very pink.
Greg navigated to the sign-up page. It wanted an email address. After twenty minutes and four different services that demanded phone verification, Greg finally found one that only required him to click a box confirming he was human. This felt vaguely wrong, but he clicked it anyway.
Email address created, he returned to FansOnly.
The sign-up process asked many questions.
Name: Greg paused. His full name was Grigoreth, but that seemed formal for a content creation platform. He typedGreg.
Display name: What was a display name? The example saidThis is how your fans will see you. Greg didn't have fans. He typedField Reaper Greg.
Date of birth: Greg stared at this field for a long time. He had no idea what date it had been on Earth when he’d popped into existence, but the form required a date. He typed in the earliest date the form would accept, which made him over one hundred years old.
Country: Greg selected United States, because that was where he currently was.
Then the website presented him with the Terms of Service.
Greg settled in to read.
By the time he finished, forty-three minutes had passed.
He clicked “Accept” and proceeded to set up his creator profile.
Content niche, the form requested.Tell potential subscribers what kind of content you'll create!
Huh. What kind of content could he create? What was he good at?
What unique perspective could he offer the humans of FansOnly?
Oh, of course.
He typed:Death and transition services. Sacred passage guidance. Information about the natural order and what awaits beyond the mortal threshold.
He clicked continue.
The next page wanted payment information. Specifically, it wanted a social security number for tax purposes.
Greg still didn't have one of those.
He stared at the required field. Maybe he could skip it? He scrolled down. There was no skip option. The form would not let him proceed without a social security number.
He went back to the profile page to see if he could at least save his progress.
