You know what's crazy? Just a few years ago, I would have been sitting here on summer break from my teaching job.
Which… on the surface sounds awesome, right?
I mean you get holidays off, summers, the whole 9.
And for some people… that is great.
But unfortunately for me, I wasn't really happy in my teaching job.
In fact… I wasn't happy with a lot of things in my life just 4 short years ago.
Straight-up - I felt like I was spinning my wheels half the time when I was teaching band and had mine own band at late night spots on the weekends.
Every day was basically groundhog day.
I'd wake up at 5:45 am with that feeling of dread that I was about to go do something I really didn't want to (maybe you've had that same feeling?), throw a breakfast sandwich in the microwave, watch tv for news and traffic information (same channel every day) listen to the same radio station every morning on my commute to work…
… and then I'd get to the school and go about my day like I always did.
After a long, usually frustrating day at work, I'd get home, drink a beer or two (just to mix it up a bit I may have instead a glass of wine or two) and unwind (this was waaaay before I was into high price, boujee imported wine), and then start it all over again the next morning.
And the entire time I kept thinking: "Is there more? Is this it?"
If you've been following along for any amount of time, you probably know what happened next:
I eventually quit my teaching job to run M$$M full time.
Quite honestly, I was tired of spinning my wheels every day and not feeling like I was really going anywhere in my life or accomplishing anything.
I was tired of the commute every day, eating that stupid breakfast sandwich in the car ( which I had to do because no matter how early I woke up, I always seemed to be always, running late, like the rabbit in Alice in Wonderland ), and most of all…
… I was tired of NOT making as much money as I wanted to (or for that matter needed to).
But quitting your so called, 'good job' to run a blog isn't exactly a great idea. Blogs take a while to really start generating revenue. And try to explain to people what you do for a living...
So after I left teaching, I had to figure out a solid way to bring in cash every month.
One day, the jeweler that had made mine and my wife's wedding ring reached out to me because he needed help.
He saw everything I was doing with M$$M, and he really felt like his own business could use some help bringing in customers online and local.
At the time, I wasn't super confident that I could help him, but I was desperate and it sounded like he kinda was too.
So… I swung for the fences and quoted him about $3,000 per month… and he accepted! After all I was doing it for friends for nothin...
It was crazy. I had no idea that you could even make that much money online, and definitely had no idea that small businesses were willing to pay awesome money for bringing in local customers.
Now don't get me wrong… I did a lot for this client and worked hard.
I helped him with his website, helped him rank higher in Google, and even wrote his marketing emails etc.
But over time, I started running the store's Facebook & Socialmedia ads, which was when it all clicked:
It was the most efficient, highest-paying work that I could do online to make extra money. Period.
Now, obviously, there's a lot more of the story to tell… but I can't do it all in one email. I'll have to explain the rest tomorrow... after all it's still summer and we're om mañana time...
But before I go - I wanted to let you know that we will be opening the doors again to the Facebook Side Hustle Course maybe, later this week, and that's a maybe.
Every time we open this course, people flood in, so we're only going to keep it open for a short time (last time it was between July 11th - 14th (Thursday - Sunday night at midnight CST) I haven't decided when it's going to be yet...
So if you're interested in a legitimate way to make extra money in your spare time, just keep reading my emails this week and next week...
Talk soon,
Johnny
