Today’s guest is Skye McLain, a self-employed virtual assistant who has a side hustle as a lifestyle blogger. In part one of my interview with Skye, we talk about:

• The most important thing Skye did to get her first four virtual assistant clients.
• The two things that helped Skye take the leap in starting her own business.
• Why looking at what other people in your space are doing can keep you stuck.
• Why “Perfection is the Enemy of Done”.
• Why Skye is grateful that she was fired from her day job.
• How Skye’s long-time hobby lifestyle blog turned into a side hustle to her VA business.
• Skye’s breakdown of exactly how bloggers make money from her perspective as a lifestyle blogger.
• The blogging monetization tactic that can make you the most money.
• Why you can still make money online even if you’re not teaching people how to make money online.
• The one thing that will help you start seeing results from using affiliate links.
• Why being “authentic” and “transparent” isn’t a strategy.

And you’re not going to want to miss part two of my episode with Skye as we get deep into topics like personal finance, self-worth and giving a deeper meaning to lifestyle blogging.
