$8.8k from My Small Website in 2024 — What Worked for Me
Maybe it’s time to take this side hustle more seriously.
If you’ve been following me, you might know I often share updates about my website’s organic growth and how AI and Google updates shaped its performance last year.

- My newsletter
- My website
- My Medium blog
- My ebooks
It was definitely hard to balance between my side hustles and my client business.
Clients always came first, but I couldn’t imagine giving up any of my side projects — they bring me so much joy.
