- The two things that helped Skye take the leap in starting her own business.
- Why looking at what other people in your space are doing can keep you stuck.
- Why “Perfection is the Enemy of Done”.
- Why Skye is grateful that she was fired from her day job.
- How Skye’s long-time hobby lifestyle blog turned into a side hustle to her VA business.
- Skye’s breakdown of exactly how bloggers make money from her perspective as a lifestyle blogger.
- The blogging monetization tactic that can make you the most money.
- Why you can still make money online even if you’re not teaching people how to make money online.
- The one thing that will help you start seeing results from using affiliate links.
- Why being “authentic” and “transparent” isn’t a strategy.
