Freelancer vs Blogger vs Course Creator: Which Business Model is Right for You?

Welcome to another episode of the podcast. I’m so excited for the topic I’m covering today because it will help almost anyone out there interested in business.  I will discuss the pros and cons and anything in-between about the 3 business models I’ve tried. It will all come from experience, you’ll learn exactly why I switched from one to another, what my current goals are and what I’m leaving behind, what I loved about each of these types of business over the years and how it completed the stage of life I was in, what happens when you want to outgrow it because a change in business models requires a change in mindset and workflow, and more.  So whether you’re thinking of becoming a freelancer, blogger or course creator, are transitioning from one to another, or are just curious about my experience with these, you’ll get a lot from this episode.

See, I didn’t believe I could make money from my own platforms, or in any way online for that matter, back in the days. I had just started this hobby blog on personal development and wanted to write and publish content. That gave me so much satisfaction that I was learning more about ways to earn from your writing as I could maybe turn it into my career and use that income to not just do what I love, but also move out of my country and start a new life somewhere else. You can go back to episode 1 if you want where I share my business journey. There I talk about how my income goal was $80/week. Once it started happening, I was shocked. It also allowed me to increase that number eventually,
