Peering in the hive mind can be really helpful, but it can also be so stupid it’s funny
Y’all… fair warning. I have a weird sense of humor.
Probably because I’m Canadian. When you live where there’s snow half the year, and it’s hot enough to fry eggs on the sidewalk the other half, maybe a person can’t help being a bit off the beaten track.
Anyway.
Unless you’ve recently crawled out from under a rock, you know the internet is full of “make money” and “side hustle” articles.
I’ve been self employed most of my adult life. Know what I do? I make people money. I don’t sell internet marketing courses. I just DO marketing. Last email series I wrote did 30K the first weekend. That’s what I do.
Plus, I have side gigs. I sell design bundles, photos and fonts. I’m working on adding tutorials for some of the things people suck at that I’m good at. It’s a lot. But, you know…winter half the year. :)
So when I see “side gig” advice, I can’t help but do this…
It is absolutely possible to make a decent income online. But most of the advice out there? lol.
You know what would be rude?
It would be rude to point at some of the posts I see here and critique them.
lol. I’d love to. But it would be rude.
So I asked ChatGPT instead.
Now, don’t get me wrong. There are things ChatGPT does really well if you use it as a tool, not a way to cheat the writing process. Last week I wrote about how helpful it can be for people who suck at writing titles.
But otherwise? ChatGPT is kind of like talking to The Borg
