Monthly Recap: October 2021

TRANSPARENCYMONTHLY RECAP

10/31/20212 min read

First, lets address the name change. My original goal was to map my dream of working my way up to 1k of hustle money income per month within one year (hence the name 365to1k). But, the obvious aside that I didn't reach that, it also implied that once I reached the goal I would stop doing this. Which...I plan to keep doing this as long as it makes sense to. I like it when folks pull back the curtain, so I like to be one of the ones who do so. So the tentative name for this going forward will be the Hustle Report.

That out of the way, lets dive into the numbers. I saw some decent growth on my socials, which makes me happy. I am toying with some hashtags, and they are slowly paying off. Book sales are down (as expected) but that number does not show my KU income. Not sure how I will track that on here, so for now it's left off. But as book two should be coming out this month, and then book three the next, I am hopeful to start really making moves to grow that number. Otherwise, I cut way back on Fiverr. I am toying with just doing that for the foreseeable future. I like big numbers...but I would rather that number not come from Fiverr. I need to work on getting out some new games at some point, to help get my itch moving a little better. Really I want to do a major overhaul of that whole operation, but until I get my book series rolling to satisfaction I think it needs to wait.
