It's behind a sign in wall for me because I've read too many medium articles, apparently. Bring back blogspot!
Here is a link to the original. I posted on Medium because it seems more people will visit Medium than a blog they've never heard of before. https://www.disruptingjapan.com/how-i-made-8000-per-month-po... I wish it weren't so.
How I made money podcasting and why you probably don't want to

Re: How I made money podcasting and why you probably don't want to
#32A hidden threat in this, is that podcasting can look like journalism to many economies. If you "report" on current affairs in any way, you can fall into the trap. Mainstream broadcasters are always super-careful when staff are sent to the USA, to get the right visa. If the staffer just goes to the USA, they have to make damn sure they don't return to work, even if they take that call about some story, there is a risk…
Just curious: why would you use the word "economies" rather than "states", or perhaps less formally "countries"?

#33As an aside, when I landed on this page, I had a sticky sign-in bar from Medium, a sticky menu from Noteworthy, and a sticky bottom bar asking me to sign-up. The text - what I came to the page for - occupied just 60% of the screen. What a horrible UI!

That much? I only see the first two lines, and that's with a 16:10 monitor. From the "use a bookmarking system that only works on our website" to the astonishingly poorly-framed author photo to the "clap for this story" social media button which is a term I've never heard before in my life, the poor page layout choices are really dragging down an excellent article.
I get only 2/3rds of the headline on mobile.
I guess it’s nice that the Medium app is made for readers, cause their website sure as heck isn’t ...

I entered the US dozens of times on an ESTA for work reasons, I always declare I'm there for "business", offering detail if needed, and never had any issue.

Or why it being journalism matters. Podcasting = working. Journalism = working. They should run in to the same problems with tourism visas.
I have an APEC card. I only ever enter for work. I think it's considered ok to recreate, having entered for work related reasons.

I always thought that a "tourist" visa allows you to do "work" for your non-US company, it just prevents you to from "working" for a US company, or being paid by a US company for work done during your visit.
