The sole purpose of this episode is a massive "thank you" to all my readers and subscribers for the wonderful last three years :) I couldn't have done it without you. So, again, THANK YOU!!!
Three years down, hopefully, many more to go!

I have a mini income report towards the end of the episode, and an announcement about an upcoming giveaway :)

Many of us have experienced loss in one form or another during the year 2020. In this episode, I talk about the lost income aspect and how it can affect people and cause them to make mistakes out of desperation. 

In this episode, I draw inspiration (or the lack thereof) from all the guest post pitches I receive all the time and weigh in on what you can do to improve your guest post pitches that actually stand out and get attention from the bloggers you're pitching to.

Whether you're a blogger, a podcaster, or a YouTuber, consistency is key to your success. This is especially important for brand new content creators, but even if you have been doing this for a couple of years, if you take too long a break, you'll see your performance dwindle. So, if you're experiencing slow growth, check to see that you're producing new, quality content, regularly. If not, growth will be that much harder.

Are you struggling to create a course or a product because it's not perfect? Well, if you're waiting for perfection, you may just be waiting forever. Let go of creating the perfect product, instead, learn to recognize when something is good enough. 

So, you have a lot of interests and you don't know how to pick just one of them to write about? Well, fortunately for you, there is one super simple way to pick just the right niche! It is how I decided my niche back in the days, and if you're a serious blogger wanting to make money from your blog, then this could the way you pick your niche too.

Do you have trouble investing in yourself or spending on things you know you must spend on? I used to have this problem, and in today's episode, I talk about me doing something about my spending anxiety and overcoming this giant hurdle. 

Fair caution: this is a very personal story!

Not sure if blogging is for you? Well, now there's a way to test out before you make the commitment or the investments. It's totally risk-free, and absolutely zero investment or commitment necessary! Find out how in today's episode.

Are you thinking about branching out? Maybe create a podcast or a YouTube channel alongside your main blog? In this episode, I talk about why I decided to start a podcast and if it is right for you to start a podcast yourself, or a YouTube channel, when you should and when you shouldn't. Tun in, and then let me know what you think! Feel free to send me an email to [email protected].
