Not much to report this month, so I will keep it brief.
It was a period of trying hard to balance out my new job with my attempts to build my side hustle. Not easy at the moment.
I had a few disappointments on my business front. I didn't win the resume writing project with the local university that I mentioned before. Once again, I think I priced myself out of a deal. I was also approached for my pricing on resume writing and coaching but didn't hear back. I know I could / should chase but in reality I don't want to be building too much in the lower end "trading time for money" space.
So I really need to build out my online income. This will take time. In the meantime, I've got to stay focused and work towards the bigger picture.
So, how was September?
Resume Writing: $297. I did a few resumes this month. Cool. I've got some more work lined up next week. Slow and steady.
Additional Writing: $150. A bit more of my regular work here. Sweet.
Stock Dividends: $0. I continue to buy stocks that give me a bit of a dividend payout but I didn't receive any dividend payments over the month
Ebooks: $15. I've had my books listed on Amazon for some time now. My three books (Cryptocurrency Job Hunting for Non-Techies, The Simple Guide to a Winning LinkedIn Profile and Craft a Winning Resume) are all ticking along. But what I'd forgotten about was that I also had a couple of these ebooks listed on Kobo as well. This also saw a few sales. Going forward, I think I need to get them onto more platforms.
Coaching: $0. No coaching this month. I haven't been marketing myself so it'll be easy come and go.
Other: $2. Nothing on the Amazon Merch and Amazon Affiliate Income front. I made a couple of dollars on the UserCrowd testing site. I'll look into building on that in coming months.
Total: $464. Not a great month but that's that. For the next month, I'm going to be investing time in building longer-term income streams. Slowly but surely.
