The Monthly Hustle

March is going kind of fast. I figured I should hurry up and work on this month's update before it's April.

February was a better month than January. Website traffic picked up, and side hustle/business income also grew. Here's how things went.

Side Hustles:

Amazon KDP: No new books were released. You can check out my older books here.

Second Website & Facebook Page: I added a few articles to the site. We also added content to the Facebook page.

I'm considering using ads to grow them. Just in case you're new here, the 2nd site is a project I'm working on with my cousin. We are attempting to grow a website and see if we can sell it. With all that's been going on with Google, this has not been easy.

Other Facebook pages: I'm still slowly adding content to them, but they aren't a priority right now.

Amazon Influencer Program: I currently have 251 videos on there. I want to get to 1000 to see how much I'll make on it monthly. My goal was to have 260 live at the end of February. I failed. I'll try again this month.

Reselling: Reselling has still been up and down. I went to the thrift store once in February. I plan to go at least once or twice this month as well.

YouTube: I now have 2 YouTube channels. I didn't do anything YouTube related in February for either channel. That will change this month. Here is my main channel. Subscribe when you get a chance.

My second channel is for reviews. I cross post my Amazon videos to it. The goal is to see if this channel will grow and eventually get monetized.

I started a Reddit community. It's called My Money Chronicles. I share content and talk about the usual things(side hustles, money, travel, etc) there. I want it to become a place where people can post questions and help others. You can join it here.

I was also featured in my first podcast episode for 2025. It's called Twelve-Minute Convos. You can listen to it here.

Student Loan Debt Update

My current student loan debt is $30,680.78

My private loan = $1970.27

Federal Loans - $28,710.52

Seeing the private loan under $2000 is fantastic. I want to have it paid off by the end of April. Doing that will save me an extra $200 per month!

​

Refinancing my private student loan was one of the best things I did. If you are thinking about refinancing any of your loans, consider SoFi. They were able to give me a great rate and nice payment options. Learn more about SoFi here.
