Help finding IH parents with rev generating side-hustles?

Hey everyone,

Need a little help here...

I'm writing an article featuring parents who are running revenue generating side-hustles (which could now be main-hustles).

Looking for anyone who is running something while juggling kids. Doesn't matter how little revenue, just some traction.

Would you or anyone you know be up for sharing stories with the wider parent community?

Thanks!

    I moved this post over to Indie Parents group.

    I started Ministry of Testing when I had 2 kids, then had 3 more along the way. I've also been home schooling them for 7 years or so now. 🥴

    More recently I started a paid newsletter, which has 42 paying subscribers - https://rosieland.substack.com

      Thanks Rosie!

      Would you be up for a short interview soon? Would love to hear how you've juggled everything :)

        Yes, but not too soon, drop me an email after mid Sept?

    I'm interested. Father of one (2yr)
    Not fitting exactly what you need (no revenue) but I still fit that "juggling kids" filter.
    Created some info products, started working on some video podcast for indie hackers. Playing around, trying to find some time to actually do something with some side ideas i have. Very low on energy almost every day 😂

      Hey Bruno, great, let's chat. You up for doing an interview? Energy is hard with kids. I've got 3 and you just have to be easy on yourself.

      1. 1

        Hey, yeah, we can chat. Not sure when though. Tomorrow? Where do you want to meet?

          Hey Bruno, what time zone are you in?

          1. 1

            CEST
            currently packed with other meetings, not really available timeslots

            1. 1

              Hey, no rush. The article will feature on The Startup (700k readers), hoping to publish in the next couple weeks.

    Hey! I started Gilly (https://www.getgilly.com) just after mat leave. Gilly helps make intimacy and desire easier for couples with kids through bite sized insights and fun activities that help couples deepen their connection as lovers and not just roommates. We've kept things no/low code to iterate quickly and have had over 150+ users with a few monthly paying subscriptions. I have a toddler and my ex-co founder has 3 kids (another on the way). I say "ex-co founder" because with covid, homeschooling, plus newborn on the way, it just didn't work anymore for her to stay on as co founder.

    Would this be an interesting story to share?

      Hey Erin, this is great, I'd love to hear more about it. Would you be up for doing a short interview? I've just had my 3rd so completely get what you're building!
