September 2021 Income Report: $7,404.43 (+207.71%)

This was my highest month ever in side project income 😱

What was different in September?

The creator services did really well this month. I landed two bigger gigs (one tweet thread package + one livestream package). I don't know if it was a one-off thing, but my goal for this month is to spend most (if not all) of my time growing that venture. My goal for October is to land one additional livestreaming gig.

I'm going to put dip.chat on pause for a little bit (in addition because we have some changes happening at home) to have less things to juggle as well. I also want to rethink the model because I don't love it the way it is now.

Lastly, the job board still hit more than $500 but it decreased almost by half compared to last month. I have to figure out how to make that one fluctuate less.

If you want to hear more about the creator services, DM me on Twitter.
