Hi,
I've come a long way in the past few years.
Just this Monday my first article as a contributor was published, but it wasn't that long ago that I was working as a high school band director and wanna be 'rockstar' on weekends.
I mean think about that...I basically went from a high school band director to working full-time online and owning multiple businesses. It's crazy!!!!
There's nothing special about me either. I've met so many incredible people in the past few years that have completely changed their lives because of 'a side hustle'.
And today I want to tell you about two things that helped me not only quit my job, but also replace my income and earn more than I ever could have imagined was possible for a teacher, like me.
But before I get into that, let me back up a bit to give you a little more context here...
A few years ago, I was basically living in the movie Groundhog Day (the one with Bill Murray - have you seen it?).
I was fresh out of college with a shiny freshly minted degree, totally ready to take on the world by teaching... band... haha.
Anyway, I got caught in the cycle that a lot of people do:
I woke up every morning at 5:45 am to the annoying sound of my iPhone alarm, or over before it rang.
I'd lay there for a second, think about all the crap I needed to do that day in my job that I didn't want to do, and start feeling some dread.
Then I'd shake it off, jump in the shower, microwave the same stupid Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwich that I ate every day, and start the commute to work.
I'd slog through the day like a zombie, get lectured by my boss about something insignificant, and then watch the clock until I could finally leave. Oh acted as teacher and 'police officer'.
Then I'd go home, drink a beer or two to relax bout an hour to decompress and try to forget about how little I was paid for how hard I worked, how I was stuck in this dead end job, and everything else that I wasn't too happy with at that point in my life.
After I chilled out a little bit, I'd go to bed, wake up to the same annoying iPhone alarm, or before and do it all over again.
So one day... I decided that I just couldn't do it anymore. Enough was enough. Went to continuing ed and got a IT certificate. Became a IT consultant and taught. My IT job picked up the difference between my teacher's salary and engineering. You know?
I had started the Millennial Money Man blog on the side at the time, and even though it wasn't making any money, I decided to walk in and tell my bosses I was quitting my job so I could follow my passions and write about personal finance.
Sounds badass, right?
Well it was! For a little bit at least...
But the reality is that my blog wasn't making much money at the time. I had bills to pay and a wife and daughter, I didn't want to disappoint, and truth be told (I suffered a minor stroke, BPM meds saved me), after I quit my job... I needed to make money FAST.
There were TWO things that I did that completely changed everything for me.
First, I started running IG/ Facebook ads for the local jewelers, artists & pizzerias etc. The Jeweler had made my wife's engagement ring. Then after getting results for him I took on some more digital advertising clients, which went a long way to replacing my teaching/ engineering salary.
Managing IG/ Facebook ads for these local brick and mortar businesses allowed me to earn $1,000-$3,000 per month from each client! We teach you exactly how to do the same thing, in a step-by-step manner inside the IG/ Facebook Side Hustle Course. But we don't just teach you how to create profitable IG/ Facebook ads for clients, we also teach you a dozen different ways to find clients, give you sales scripts, and everything else you could need to start this side hustle and make money.
You can get the course for 20% OFF (Today Only!) thanks to our Black Friday/ Cyber Monday Sale!

The second thing that helped me replace my teaching income after I quit my job was using IG/ Facebook ads to grow my blog RAPIDLY.
Sure I wrote my articles to rank on Google, tried Pinterest, built a following on Twitter, etc. and all the other strategies that were popular for growing your blog at the time, but the thing that really changed the game for me was using IG/ Facebook ads to drive incredibly affordable (and high quality!) traffic to my articles.
I'm talking pennies per click! And you can still do that today if you use the right strategies. Which is exactly what we teach inside of our IG/ Facebook Ads For Bloggers program.
Want to drive a ton of traffic to your articles on the cheap? Explode your email list so that you can promote affiliate offers and other products? Want to increase your sponsored post fees with one simple ad? Earn your ad spend back through display advertising and affiliate sales? Or even sell your courses with the same advanced retargeting strategies we use?
All of that is included in IG/ FB Ads For Bloggers, which is also discounted for our Black Friday Sale.

As you can see, there's one big reason that I created these courses. It's because the things we teach inside had a profound impact on my life, and now I'm able to share these strategies with others and hopefully they can do the same for you.
And if you've had any interest in grabbing one of our courses, there's not a better time.
This 20% discount is a one-time opportunity that ends at midnight. After that you'll have to wait until we open the doors back up in January, and the discount won't be available at that time.
Don't miss out.
