Q3 Side-Hustle Income Report
Leaves are changing, temperatures are dropping, and Q4 of 2019 is here already. I’m really excited to share my Q3 side-hustle income report with you because although I fell short on a few (read: all) of my goals, I still made a lot of exciting progress! To recap, I’ve been sharing income reports for revenue generated by my online side-hustles since Q4 of last year. Why? For two reasons: 1. To hold myself accountable and motivated to keep pushing on in my business 2. To (hopefully) provide helpful information to others who are thinking about starting an online side-hustle and are looking for real information about how it can be…

You Won’t Be an “Overnight Success” – But That’s a Good Thing
We freelancers and bloggers see it on Facebook, Instagram, and everywhere else on the internet every single day. A news story about a 23-year old making six figures within months of launching their business. Or a blogger in your Facebook group who made $1000 of passive income within a month of their website going live. These “overnight success” stories should be inspiring to us – and they are, to a point – but inevitably, they cause us to look at our own progress, or lack thereof, and start wondering what we’re doing wrong. Today, I’m here to tell you if you’re actively working towards your goal, then you’re not doing…

The Strange Writing Hack that Allows Me to Write 1000 Words in an Hour
My primary goal this year is to grow my side-hustle significantly while maintaining my full-time job. I’m a woman on a mission! And it hasn’t been easy, but so far I’ve been able to mostly stay on track with my goals. (Goals that I’d of never reached had it not been for Horkey Handbook’s fabulous courses and resources.) One of the biggest challenges is making the most of every spare second I have to work on my business. There are only so many hours in a day! ** My blog posts contain affiliate links, which means that I may earn a commission on purchases you make after clicking on…

Why Every Small Business Needs a Pinterest Marketing Strategy
In the past six months, I’ve become obsessed with Pinterest. Although I’ve loved using Pinterest for much longer than that! So let me rephrase that: In the past six months, I’ve become obsessed with using a Pinterest marketing strategy. Why? Because using one has increased my web traffic by 500% in the past three months. Regardless of whether you’re a freelancer starting their first side-hustle or an established business owner with a small team, your website serves as an online storefront. As such, you want it to reach as many people from your target demographic as possible! Most website owners already know that Search Engine Optimization (aka SEO) is critical to…

Can You Really Get Paid to Write Online? 5 Freelance Writing Myths Dispelled
Maybe you’re interested in freelance writing, but not too sure if you can actually get paid to write online. Although there seems to be no shortage of anecdotes online of people who are doing it successfully, it still seems too good to be true. I hear you. There are a lot of myths surrounding freelance writing. In a world where we can’t scroll through our social media for thirty seconds without someone trying to sell us something, it’s easy to think that the whole “get paid to write” idea is just another scheme by someone trying to sell a course or product.

Why You Should Focus on Freelance Writing Instead of Blogging
In today’s economy, I believe having a successful career should also include an alternate source of income. It appears I am not alone in this opinion; To date, there are more than 44 million side-hustles in the U.S. The reasons behind this aren’t tough to figure out. The working world has changed drastically in the past twenty years, and true job security is more elusive than ever before. And with so much business being conducted on the internet, starting an online business is one of the most logical ways to take the reins on your own earning potential. Even if you work full time for a company – as I…
