$15,000 money in blog sponsorships is a lot of money, especially when you’re single and have no kids. That’s nice money especially after you pay your independent contractor taxes, because you have more than enough money to put away for your future retirement. But when you love doing what you’re doing such a side hustle blogging, you don’t look forward to retirement. yet you look forward to expanding your blog in so many ways beyond earning just a mirror $15,000 monthly inside hustle income.

Couldn’t agree more! It’s those activities you find that fall at the intersection of your interests/skills and what others are resonating with when they come across it. ✌️

Oh hell yeah, that’s a really impressive monthly sponsorship figure.

When Preston was just starting out though, his first sponsored post went for just $100. But it’s the relationship he built with that person/sponsor that grew over time and helped him start charging more as his audience grew.

I loved hearing Preston’s turning point: recognizing that readers enjoyed that type of content, but also that HE enjoyed writing it more. Super valuable advice – much appreciated!

Getting those kinds of sponsorships is truly humbling, especially when you’re starting from the bottom.

Absolutely, I love that Abdo.

Studying what’s worked for others and then testing relentlessly to see what your own secret sauce will become, is the way to go 🙂

Hey Ryan,

Loved the episode!

I can definitely relate and want to add that I’ve learned that the best way to minimize the uncertainty and fear that most entrepreneurs experience especially for making big decisions like Preston did for pursuing his venture full time is to carefully study the road map that people like you took before you.

When you know what successful people in your space did to reach their level of success, you can better predict your future by following what they did knowing that sooner or later things will work out. Keeping a stream of income at first, helps you sleep well at night until you’re ready to dive in full time.
