Are you on a mission to earn more money? I am on this same journey myself. Whether you’re aiming for Financial Independence, or just want to be able to get ahead of monthly bills, a little extra money can be a huge help.
How I Got Started On My Journey to Earn More Money
I started my youtube channel back in 2015 as a way to document my money journey. At that point, I had dug myself into $17k of consumer loan debt and needed to get myself and my spending. In other words, needed a way to keep myself accountable as I got out of debt. I loved the support of the YouTube financial community, for the most part. ( See my community roast in this “Fire I Got Burned Video” ) However, I realized that it was possible to earn a bit of money from YouTube as well.
How I Increased My Income
Although earning more money wasn’t my primary goal, earning a few dollars from doing something I’d do anyway felt very rewarding. As a result, I started spending more time on my youtube channel and started this blog. The more I paid attention and did the work, the more money I made. In conclusion, I discovered that YouTube and other online forms of marketing were a viable way to earn more money. I also found some evidence suggesting that women are inherently better at money than men… so just sayin!
What I’m Doing Right Now Now to Earn More Money
Now I’m learning all I can about earning money online. One way to do this is through affiliate links to products I already use and love. This means that I get to talk about products and services that I already use and also potentially earn some extra money in the process
Tools I Use Today*:
MY EQUIPMENT📷
💻 – Macbook Air
I am a proud Mac user. I bought my current laptop refurbished in 2019 and it’s been going strong ever since. I had my last Macbook for close to 10 years. Very
🎙 – New Mic!
I invested in this Blue Yeti mic when I was ready upgrade my audio game
🎤 – Wireless Mic
This is the mic that I bought when I wanted to be moving around. To be honest, I don’t use it as much as I thought I would because the sound quality isn’t much different than my Airpods, but it’s good for cutting down ambient noise (i.e. wind, crowds, etc.)
🎨 – Canva Pro
I have used Canva since the beginning of my youtube channel, but in full transparency, I only recently upgraded to the Pro version and it is 100% worth it. I notice now that I’m able to use all options, including the “Pro Version” creatives Canva offers. Definitely don’t need Canva Pro to start
👩🏻💻 – WordPress
This is how I host this website. I’m still learning my way around websites and hosting, so more to come on all that. There’s certainly a lot to learn!
