my side hustle training is live! 🎉 (#380)

Thanks to the Small but Mighty $9 Offers training (and a live Get it Done week), I have launched my first $9 offer. Drum roll, please…

My Side Hustle Idea Kickstart training is now live! 🎉 Get help finding and testing a side hustle idea with my personalized support.

Here’s a sneak peek behind the scenes:

• I took a PTO day last week to record the videos. My goal? Record 4 videos, each about 5 minutes long. Short and sweet! Plus, it keeps me on the free Loom plan. (Hint, hint, wink, wink 😉)

• Marketing Magic has been a game-changer. I uploaded the video transcripts and used the “Transcript Magic” tooling to create “tidied transcripts” for each video, removing timestamps and making the text flow smoothly. Then, I edited them, and they served as transcripts and notes under each video.

  • I also used their “Draft Training Materials” workflow to create bulleted-point recaps of the key items under each video. This helps folks see a list of next steps and prepares them for quiz questions.

• I’m using Membervault’s Quiz Feature to provide 1:1 support during the training in an asynchronous way. You answer the questions, and I review and provide feedback. This makes it a “do it with you” training.

• I also reviewed the lessons to find opportunities to link to helpful resources, including my blog posts and curated resources (even some affiliate links!)

  • Fun fact: I wanted to link to an investing course I love (investing is a popular side hustle). I couldn’t find an affiliate program on the site, so I emailed the creator. Guess what? She had a program and sent me the link to enroll! Now, I’m an affiliate for the Lazy Investors Course. My takeaway? It never hurts to ask. 😊

After just a few days, I’ve already made two sales! 🥳🥳🥳 This feels like the beginning of something amazing. I’m excited to continue building on this success and creating more valuable resources for you.

I hope my experience inspires you to take action on your side hustle dreams (maybe even creating your own $9 offer?). Every big success starts with a baby step. Let’s make it happen together! 🤝🏾

On to the picks!

P.S. I’m also excited to announce that I’ll be speaking at SponsorFest®️ from August 12th - 14th. I’ll share my experiences with newsletter sponsorships. Ready to learn more? Get your free ticket!

#loves 😍

• 📺. Watching: Umbrella Academy. ☂️ Since season 4 is coming out next week, I’ve started a re-watch from the beginning. It’s quite a wild ride with a fantastic soundtrack! (And each season has a cute dance scene) Who doesn't love a good time-traveling, dysfunctional family drama? Anyone else hooked?
  

• 💡. App: The Storyteller App. A daily dose of encouragement in my pocket. I love Morgan Harper Nichols’s art and words - and this app provides a beautiful and uplifting message in the middle of my day.

30 Short Morning Habits to Start Your Day on Purpose

“A good morning routine is the key to a productive day. It sets the tone for the day and can have a lasting effect on your mood and productivity. By starting your day on the right foot, you can set yourself up for success all day long.”

I like keeping my morning routines super simple, as with caregiving, sometimes they don’t go as planned. Here are my essentials, though:

• Making my bed - it’s a small win that makes me feel accomplished right away.

• Eating breakfast—I wasn’t always a breakfast person, but now, a bowl of cereal and Equilibria’s Daily Nutri-Greens are my go-to’s.

• Having coffee or tea - I’m a coffee lover, and I couldn’t imagine my work days starting without It.

Do you have any must-have habits to kick off your day?
