Side-Hassle Do and Don’ts
I don’t like long blog posts. So here we go. This year I have dropped; Small selling sites that just took my focus away i.e. Zazzle, Spoonflower, and the biggest of them all – Amazon. By dropping, I mean not creating new products and leaving it ‘as is.” And I have also dropped, and IContinue reading “Side-Hassle Do and Don’ts”
Summer tends to be a quiet time
Summer tends to be a quiet time, at least on the surface. I am looking at my numbers and again, as every year – I am not happy with them. I know the economy is not great but really, I don’t like to make any excuses for myself and I rather look at things asContinue reading “Summer tends to be a quiet time”
Can A.I. save me or finish me? From creating to selling
I have always been looking at all my business ventures and analysing them. Am I going to write about “how I became a millionaire” any time soon? Haha, nope. I have tried many things and different techniques including manifesting. When I read that actually, I quote: “be prepared that some people’s dreams will happen instantlyContinue reading “Can A.I. save me or finish me? From creating to selling”
Q4, the moment of truth
So we made it. This is it. The Last Quarter about which we are often told how spectacular it is.

I did have a lot of hope and thought, sure this is it – andContinue reading “Q4, the moment of truth”

Something had to change toContinue reading “What to focus on? Greedy platforms versus the less greedy…”
Keeping everything in one spot
I really like the saying: Don’t keep your all eggs in one basket. It is on my mind, especially now when I see so many changes around me and in the POD world. This is something I am more aware of now than a few years ago – and making changes based on it. IContinue reading “Keeping everything in one spot”
Creating something from scratch again
I have done it again. I have decided to try something new. But this time I told myself that this is really, really the last time, I am trying a POD site. The reason for that is that I have not experienced any success with the POD style business. And I have been trying sinceContinue reading “Creating something from scratch again”
To blog or not to blog
I have tried lots of part-time avenues. And most of them were online and most of them were exhaustive and brought very little return. No matter what the influencer said and no matter what the gurus told. At the beginning of 2022, I even thought to myself that I am lucky to have a full-timeContinue reading “To blog or not to blog”
