    GOLD! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Right now I'm just focused on getting our income back to where it was before I was let go from my job... a week after I told my boss I was pregnant. (Yeah, another "poor me" story. lol) I'll scale it/grow it once we get back to that point. (Already thinking about how to do it though!)...

    Hey, everyone. I've been reading and re-reading this thread over the past couple of weeks and applying the principles that @SinisterLex has been writing about to my own Upwork account.

    No, not exactly. I have about 24 titles out, but I found that I like designing covers. Been doing decent at it until the other day where I stumbles upon THE forum to market my services. I've sold 18 custom cover designs since then! I am even looking at hiring a freelancer to help me with the...

    Hey Arty - I am published in the romance/erotica niche and to stay on top of everything in the market, I do a lot of reading. However, I don't read books in my genre by other authors, I read a lot of 'how to's' about my market. The most recent book I read was written by a very successful...

    Update for March: Well, the husband can roll up his statement about making more at McDonald's than as a writer and smoke it. :) For the month of March, my profit from my writings surpassed the monthly income I was making as a graphic designer! :cigar: I have a couple more books to come out...
