I’m starting two new features on my blog. One is Side Hustle Sunday in which I discuss my attempts at content creation and post updates and metrics for each of the platforms I use. I will start tomorrow by providing metrics for each of the following platforms:
- TpT (Teachers Pay Teachers)
- Etsy
- Royal Road (web serials) and KDP (Amazon Self-Publishing)
- YouTube
- Courses (primarily Gumraod and Udemy)
These are all of the platforms I plan to explore as a content creator, my niche being teaching materials and ELA curriculum, plus resources for writers along with my own fiction. I haven’t “niched down” very far yet (ELA and writing content and resources is still pretty broad), but I may do that once I find my footing on these sites and get a sense for how much time and effort it takes to create content for these sites, as well as how much success I have with different types of content. But for the next six weeks I will NOT stray from the content focus areas of ELA Curriculum and Writing, except for this blog, which will feature posts that will be a meta exploration of HOW I create my content and how well my digital products sell online.
Each week will include:
- A featured platform
- Free tools to get started
- A personal goal/task
- Daily posts: tips, tutorials, check-ins
- Sunday roundup: updates + metrics
The “Sunday Side-Hustle” Roundup Posts will include:
- A review of the platform I focused on for the previous week
- What I accomplished
- Metrics: views, followers, sales, posts
- Lessons learned
- Next week’s platform + prep goals
I’m excited to get started on this journey and share with you what I’ve learned! Be sure to subsribe below so you don’t miss a post! It’s free to subscribe and I don’t share your emails with anyone 🙂
