If there’s something I’d like to see more of (that will help me with the things I’m working on, and hopefully many other people) that would be how you’re monetizing the traffic you get and your subscribers, and how you land freelance clients 🙂

Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work.

It’s understandable if you had to go back to a day job again. It’s only for the moment. Let me know how I can help if you have any questions about promoting your side hustle. 🙂

Thanks for the support, Marjan! 🙂

Haha – wasn’t sure if you’d remember me! That sounds AWESOME. Yes – I’d definitely tune in. I would also probably low-key join this challenge with you. 🙂

Thanks for answering Ryan…how & where do you find the time?! Really kind of you. I haven’t tried building that many, for lack of resources, knowledge, trying to maintain a main income (single woman/parent, no inheritance, alimony or windfall!) I’m not sure what ‘trying’ means anymore, there are so many definitions of “trying to”. I have been an amateur photographer for over half my life, wanting & trying for that to be a side project. Now with iphones and GoPros, everyone is a photog! Thinking of coding, but can’t afford classes. I’m a part time farmer, in exchange for food (too old to do that solo). But really into the good food movement. My road blocks are: money, not having a partner to do the essentials that would save me time (meal prep/cleanup, laundry, house cleaning, clothes shopping, car maintenance, etc.), lack of knowledge, deteriorating eyesight, lack of time, consistent failure as opposed to consistent success that creates fear of the risk of being absolutely destitute, lack of engaging personality or looks to draw people in (we are all attracted to beauty). I’ll be very honest, I’m terrified by my past history of almost anything I attempt to do being a failure. I don’t know how to start. I don’t know what the steps to begin to do…sorry, I run out of coherent sentences – what’s in my head often can’t get out on paper or in words! But I appreciate all you’re doing.

Mike! Let’s definitely connect, I’ll shoot you an email now 🙂

Emily! So awesome hearing from you, love the pieces of yours I saw on the Zapier blog 💪

I’ll say I’ve been super lucky with having a consistent stream of inbound leads that come from my blog here, or see my writing on one of the publications I contribute to—and selecting mostly from either that pool of leads OR from referrals that come my way from existing/former customers I’ve been able to stay pretty busy. I’ve done some cold outreach campaigns though, that have turned around some pretty solid results.. here’s that “guide” on the blog: https://www.ryrob.com/cold-email/

P.S. I’m going to shoot you an email right now—we have to catch up soon.
