I answered a Facebook inquiry in a local community group from a small business owner wanting to rebrand their business. And the next day I had a contract to develop a simple, small business website for $1,000 over the next three weeks.
Yep. Sometimes, it is that easy. Completing the website over this next week and then…getting to pay an extra $1K to debt. Well, almost $1K, I have to deduct about $100 I paid to a contractor to do some graphics work for me, and then, taxes, of course. But either way, more to debt.
So this month won’t be a complete wash with Princess’ dental surgery.
I think I need to get back to trolling Facebook groups for work. These type of focused, simple side gigs could really help me expedite my plans.
Or perhaps an email campaign to old clients for either new work from them or referrals to their network?
The challenge is making time for them along with my full time work. But I think with no real life, the weekends lend themselves to this side hustle type work.
I’ve got 5 weeks before I return to Texas. Perhaps I should challenge myself to pick up one or two side projects during that time.
With nothing but time on my hands over the next weeks, it’s a great time to put my head down and do work!
Sidenote: Beauty moved out today. (Rather the day, I’m writing this post.) I’m headed to back to GA tomorrow, or at least begin the trip back. There is damage and loss to deal with from Helene. But it’s not extensive. At least from what I’ve heard and hope. But I may have lost my refrigerator. Had someone come out when Beauty noticed it and it’s not fixed. So I just had Beauty empty it (we lost all food due to the extended loss of electricity) and unplug it for now.
