Hey Reader, Can I be honest for a second? May was amazing financially. I hit over $14K that month—a number I hadn’t seen in a while—and it felt so good to be back on that kind of upswing. But here we are in June, and things have leveled back out to “normal.” Is it because the market has shifted? Or because I’ve taken a little too much time off? Either way... it got to me. Isn’t it wild how closely our moods can get tied to our income? One month, you’re full of fire and vision—mapping out new...

Hey Reader, I had big plans for this spring. My husband and I were going to get ahead and get some things done. Maybe even start a little side project with the kids. You know, be super productive and all that. But you wanna know what actually happened? The kids just wanted to play. Like, every day. And to be completely honest… we kind of did too. I kept thinking, “Okay, we’ll buckle down tomorrow.” But tomorrow came, and it was just too beautiful outside to be inside working. And yesterday it...

Hey Reader, It’s been so refreshing to talk more about online income lately. Every time I get a message from someone who’s taken a step—any step—toward starting their own income project, I can’t help but cheer them on. And as promised, I want to share a little celebration of my own with you. I just finished tallying up my income for May… and it came to $14,409. 🤯 That’s a number I haven’t seen within a month for quite some time, and let me tell you—I sat with it for a minute, grateful, and...

Hey Reader, Recently, I had to make one of the hardest decisions in my business so far. Last summer, blogging income had slowed down, and with the rise of AI content flooding the internet, it felt like my voice was getting drowned out. I didn’t want to keep pouring energy into something that just wasn’t producing results the way it used to. So, I pivoted. I put my blog on the back burner and started a Facebook group for online deal shopping. It quickly became one of the most fun projects I’d...

Hey Reader, I wanted to share a little glimpse into my Mother’s Day weekend—not because anything wild or extravagant happened, but because honestly, it looked a lot like most weekends for us. And that’s something I’m incredibly grateful for. Every Sunday, no matter how full the week has been, I unplug completely from work. My husband and I take the kids to church, and almost every single week, we meet up afterward for lunch with my side of the family. And when I say family—I mean family. I’m...

Hey Reader, About a year and a half ago, I almost walked away from digital marketing completely. After riding the wave of success from 2021 through 2023, I thought I was set. I had built a thriving business from home—something I was incredibly proud of as a work-from-home mom. But then came the changes. Google’s updates… the rise of AI… and quite literally overnight, my income dropped in a way I never saw coming. It wasn’t just me, either. A lot of digital marketers were hit hard. What had...

Hey Reader, I’ve been thinking a lot about my health lately. To be honest, I’ve already been sick a few times this year, and it’s made me realize something important: if I want to keep showing up for my family—not just financially, but physically and emotionally too—I’ve got to take better care of myself. So I’ve started working out again. Nothing extreme. Just moving, stretching, walking, and easing back into routines that make me feel stronger. And the beautiful thing is… I can actually do...

Hey Reader, I’ve been down for the count the past four days—completely wiped out, buried in tissues, and using whatever strength I could gather for the occasional email check. But here’s what blows my mind… Even while doing as little as I possibly could, I still earned over $1,500 during those four days (weekend included). That’s not meant to be a brag—but instead a moment of deep gratitude for the life my husband and I have been able to build through digital marketing. One where I don’t have...

Hey Reader, I got one of my favorite emails again this last week. It said: “[Example Company] would like to sponsor your newsletter… You may place up to 4 insertion(s) anytime before the campaign end date. Net: $X.XX pay per click.” Like… wait. You’re telling me I can copy/paste a tiny snippet of content into an email I’m already planning to send—and get paid just when people click the link? No pitching, or awkward dancing on Reels, and definitely no overly salesy vibes. Just clicks and then...
