After completing my master's in Special Education and becoming a certified teacher, I was honestly unsure about pursuing this career. I didn't think I could handle the demands of being a classroom teacher, I figured I could be an aide at best. So when I got my job as a teaching aide after graduating....I thought making $12/hour would be as good as it gets.
I thought I would have to work HARD for every dollar. And I definitely did that in the classroom. Nowadays, it’s totally different. I make a consistent 1-2k+ a month by blogging & recording YouTube videos from my couch. I earn money primarily through writing reviews & sharing affiliate links. I set my own hours, and it is my dream job.
We just started getting Nurture Life meals. I ordered them in a moment of desperation with another stressful mealtime, trying to figure out what my picky toddler would eat. I did a search for “healthy frozen meals for kids” (or something like that) and came across Nurture Life. We love it so far!

I’m going to apply the same concept here to making money from home.

I had a feeling that Linkedin wasn't a good use of my time. This was confirmed when I started tracking how many clicks I was getting from Linkedin to my actual website. Seeing I only had one visitor in 30 days was enough to let me know this was a time waster. My goal is to make money, not be a Linkedin celebrity. So I quit Linkedin once and for all.
