WEEKLY RECAP: Hungry Crossfitters, Monogrammed Scarves, & Cat Portraits

Notes from Chris

Episode 225

LISTENER Q&A:

This week we have listener questions from Tom and Erin:

• Tom is a middle school Math and Robotics teacher by day, and he does freelance voice over work by night. He says his story is very similar to Parker's story in Ep. 5 since he's also on Fiverr, and he's at a point where his prices are relatively high raking in $4-600/month with just 10-12 orders. He recently received a voice-over request through his website though, and he ended up accepting that payment through PayPal. His question—what are the pros and cons of going through a service like Fiverr where they take a percentage of his revenue vs. handling his own payments through PayPal where he doesn't have a guarantee of payment?
• Erin started two blogs using affiliate programs after listening to Side Hustle School, but while she's been getting some sales and a lot of click throughs, about 80% of the click-throughs aren't generating any income for her. She's not quite sure why some things are generating income while most of them are not, and she's looking for resources that would better explain the Amazon Affiliate Program so that she can best utilize this channel.
