INTERESTED IN MAKING MONEY ONLINE?
let’s talk about making money online
Have you ever wondered if you have what it takes to quit your job and work for yourself? (You do btw). Looking for a way to generate a little bit of cash on the side or a full-time income, start a business or take on the big guys in business? Below you’ll find the most recent posts on all things making money online. As a blogger and business owner, I enjoy sharing what’s been working for me (and not), the new things I’m trying out and discovering and much more.
How much I made on Fiverr in my first year
It all started with a simple question, can I earn money on Fiverr as a photographer? Keen to get into doing more product photography, I was looking for a way to find clients and generate more work for myself. A YouTube video about a freelance copywriter on CNBC's...
How I became a Level One Seller on Fiverr
When we left off in my last post, I was 45 days into my experiment. I was hopeful that a conversation would turn into a sale and asked you to keep your fingers crossed. Cliffhanger! It's been pretty much two months to the day since my last blog update. Even then, I...
Was Mr Big Carrie’s retirement plan all along?
Recently I was watching Sex and the City and as a thirty-something trying to do her best to run a business, live life and prepare for the future I found myself adding up the outfit changes and designer pieces, the apartment and meals, not to mention the taxis....
Show Your Work
Ever wonder how TikToks can, as is the case with XXL Scrunchie & Co, one of my new favourites, exponentially grow their business? How can social media sell out an entire line of products in a few hours, less in the case of those with larger platforms? So what...
Can I make money as a photographer on Fiverr? {Part 1}
The videos pop up on YouTube all the time, twenty-somethings making tens of thousands of dollars a month online. When you dive a little further, you’ll find a few main ways they do this. But the one that grabbed my attention (first) was Fiverr. I knew of the site,...
I’m learning to embrace procrastination
I've displaced myself again. As I mentioned in the email on the weekend, I'm having the floor of my office and the adjoining patio fished with epoxy. So, that meant time to pack it all up again. Which is, I have to say, a pretty smooth process these days. Changing...
Taking a social media break helped me figure myself out
Over the last month, on my social media break (as much as work allows), I've noticed a few things. Things about my life that I completely missed in the non-stop app switch that is social media. Firstly, I'm not very satisfied with my life. I keep looking for...
Pinterest bans weight-loss ads; a win for users sick of Noom ads
If you've spent any time on Pinterest in the past year, you would have noticed the increase in ads from a certain non-diet diet company. My streams were bombarded, and despite reporting them as irrelevant or worse, they would still be there. It was not ideal,...
Five things that make your blog reader friendly
I read somewhere on Facebook this week that list posts are passé. Done. Over. It turns out that I didn't get the memo because I LOVE to write the darn things. List posts help me corral my thoughts and line them up in neat little rows for you all, which is virtually...
Why I’m all about living more and working less
When I say that I'm all about working less and living more, what does that mean to you? Books such as the 4-hour workweek springs to mind or every single clickbait online ad for making money while you sleep. There is a multitude of different things that could be coming to mind for you. But for me, it's about buying back my time. For what, you might ask? For freedom, thanks.
A week into my daily blogging challenge
I'm a week into this daily blogging thing. You can thank the daily vloggers of YouTube for the idea behind this. To think it was just this time last week (maybe a little earlier, my bad!) that I decided to give this a shot. My writing had been in a rut for a while; it...
I’m so proud
As some of you know, I started working with an assistant earlier this year. I wanted work to continue on my other blog, The Leave Home Blog, as well as some other things. I was lucky enough to hire Charlotte, the daughter of my friend Desiree. Oh heeeey. Charlotte,...
How to embrace sucking at things
As someone who blogged her way through almost a decade deciding to make videos was new. Something I'd never done. And let me tell you, team, sucking at something was hard. I really struggle with it. Before video, I felt like I had arrived! I'd conquered the online...
I don’t think I know how to blog anymore…
I was talking to Dani (you know her, right? SUPERSTAR) and as long time, back in the dark ages type bloggers, we were wondering how the heck we used to make it work. What did we blog about? How did we fit so much more in? Did we fit more in, or nah? While in this what...
How to make your email list more subscribe-able.
I'm probably the last person you should be listening to on the topic of building a healthy email list right now. My newsletters have been infrequent and uninteresting, to say the least. But, take this as a do what I say, not as I do kind of...
How to take better food photos {video}
This week's video is all about how to take better food photos, at home. After my Easter Cook Off collab with Brittanie last week, I'm going through some basics for taking and editing better food photos. I might not have had much success with my cheesecake, but I can...
What owning a cafe at 21 taught me about myself.
Last week, when we talked about life, Danielle wanted to know what happened with the pancake shop about being more open with my story. Did you know I had a pancake shop? Haha. I wonder if you did. Its name was Whispers, and it was a pancake and crepe cafe. I purchased...
Simple ways to own your first home sooner.
Heading into this post about how to own your own home sooner I checked in with some of the people around me. Some are homeowners. Some give advice on borrowing money or purchasing property for a living. BUT, you should consider your own personal situation before...
Digital Marketing for an International Charity
That's a ballsy title, right? Digital Marketing for an International Charity 101. Rather pompous but stay with me. Did you know that Samara, the other half of my podcast team, is a digital marketer? She is, and a big one. She works in Digital Marketing for an...
How-to plan a creative business photo shoot
Planning a creative business photo shoot? Great! This is probably one of my favourite topics to talk about in business and easily my favourite thing to do. Making sure I have a collection of images I can tap into that are personal and filled with brand personality....
