LISTENER Q&A:

This week we have listener questions from Alissa in Minneapolis, MN and Justin:

  • Alissa is a writer by trade, and she currently has a corporate job which she loves. However, she figures that if she can make some money doing other things she enjoys on the side, why not? She started a tutoring business which has been going well, but she recently started blogging through the voice of her dog and both her blog and Instagram account have received a positive response. She just signed up to be an Amazon affiliate so that she can monetize her blog, but she's not sure if she should stick to pet-related products since it's a blog told through the voice of her dog or if she should look for best-selling items and place those and other high priced products strategically on her blog.

  • Justin is looking to start a side hustle because he wants to have the option to work part-time whenever he'd like and invest his future in something of his own creation, but he's struggling in the 'idea phase' of side hustle development. He's looking for any helpful tips that could help him get started.
**Tune into the Weekly Recap to hear my responses to Alissa and Justin.
