Now it's also talk briefly about exposure therapy like watercress. What's that about? What's that got to do with making money? Well, exposure therapy is simply about accepting reality. Not just you know, wishing things were different. Of course we wish a lot of things would be different and, yes, you have to take action as well, but as a starting

We have to accept some basic facts: okay and so, when I think about that, in this context, it's like you know the basic fact is covered nineteen and we are still in it. You know in some ways I feel like. I should apologise for talking about an all these stories, but this is the reality for so many of us, and so you can accept that reality and say well what can we do about it?

Hopefully, there's some smart people working on that, but for us for us as individuals, you know: how can we do something about it in terms of just bettering ourselves in serbian, more people in finding a way to create more self sufficiency?

market Blanchfield took up watercolor painting, while she was a stay at home, mom and soon found herself quite adept at the practice. As she hung her skill and began producing quality works. She wanted to share these talents with other to do that, Margaret Heart, teaching, mommy and me art classes in the makeshift studio, she'd built in her garage there. She offered a place where moms and their toddlers kaburan together through friends in word of mouth. This became a successful psychic. It Margaret ran until the birth of her second child. That's when she decided to brush things up and looked for a dedicated space outside her home. After finding the idea location, she called the space Sacramento art classes, and created a website to match it. Sacramento art classes, dot com, she puts the choice of domain name down, is her best business decision by using such an obvious name. Much of the marketing work was already done. That

I naturally right high and Google searches and parents and kids from all over the city came to learn how to paint the space was never a huge moneymaker, but it did bring in some site income, which was helpful. Two small kids, who is even more important because by now Margaret had separated from her husband who was a single mom. Without the support of a dual income, she looks for additional ways to make more money in an attempt to expand. She opened up the studio to other artists in the local area. They would leave the space for their own lessons in pay. Margaret percentage of what they earn it that way she could make money from the space, even when she wasn't personally using it by twenty eighteen. She had twenty five art teachers on board, and that sounds like a lot and it did bring in twenty thousand

hours in revenue per year, but almost all that went back into rent and expenses, so Margaret decided to look for a more stable way to make a living and transition to a job as an elementary school. Our teacher she also decide to closer studio, even though it pains me to do so. It simply wouldn't be a profitable endeavour when she started on her new.

We're path, while saddening things weren't all doom and Gloom Margaret loved teaching. It was a way for her to keep sharing her art knowledge without the high overheads and stress of having a dedicated space. Yet the change wasn't complete, as you might guess, because something unexpected happened in the spring of twenty twenty. What was that? Well, I'm pretty sure you know what it was since it continues to affect our world pretty much every day and all kinds of ways, not a shake up meant Margaret started teaching remotely, which gave her new skills and technology. She mastered zoom and became an expert in remote teaching. She knew this wasn't something to gloss over and after thinking about it began to paint a new picture in her life Margaret felt she could use her artistic teaching and technology skills to try something different. Specifically, she thought about offering art classes online.

They assume an facebook live. The lessons could be the same as the one she used to offer an Earl business. The only difference would be the method of delivery to test the waters. She wrote to an old email list of six hundred people she collected from her time running the studio. In addition, she posted a facebook event and let her seven hundred Facebook friends know about it to her astonishment. She amassed four hundred are espy peace, then in May twenty twenty. If she ran her first free art lesson broadcast over Facebook like close Two hundred and fifty people attended are preparing for the lesson she came up with the idea of a virtual Tipp jar Margaret placed her VIN Mo pay. Pal and cash app account details on a small sign, visible in the video even before she finished the lesson she heard or phone buzzing tips we're coming in hard and fast. The success it at first experience only

courage to do more. She tapped the same audience and locked in a weekly lesson with limited basis for that attendees painted bans through Paypal, the her existing website. In addition, she still conducts free facebook, like classes with the Tipp charm and, on average, around ten percent of attendees leave a tip she's, not three months into this experiment turned a legitimate site. Hustle and things have only improved. Her pre class has now reached an average of three hundred attendees and combined she's earning well over fifteen hundred dollars per month. That, of course, is her side and come in addition to teach her salary she sees. This is only the beginning and. To keep growing so what skills that do? You have that you could rework and reposition during this strange, seemingly, never ending year of twenty twenty? I really do believe, there's something out there for you just like Margaret and so many others.

So one cool thing, I think about the story, I mean- are several things, but one thing that I notice derive pay attention to is using Facebook live as primarily a non commercial source of broadcasting by including this tipped jar where I think it was like. Ten percent of people are actually making a donation, and then it's not just the income from the Tipp jar. She also has these private classes were their limited spaces, which you can imagine. Like if you got a class of train people, you don't really get any individual attention, but if there's a class of ten or fifteen or whatever the number is then that's also attractive for those who want to pay. So I love the blend of like doing the face. Five, which is open to anyone and because she's, primarily marketing to her network or friends, as well as people who ve been to the classes before it's not quite like trying to break through the facebook algorithm to promote something commercially, which can be difficult.

Facebook wants you to pay. Of course, also great demand. A right, Sacramento art classes, calm at least as long as you want to focus local it. You know if you want this to be art classes for everyone, because of what technology allows us to do these days with zoom and other platforms, then that might be a little bit problematic. Sacramento, art classes, calm sounds great. So if you happen to be in the area or just want to go check out, Margaret's Facebook lives scheduled are I'm sure it will also look it up on the show notes page. That page is a side hustle school com, one thousand three hundred and thirty one We're inspiration is good, but inspiration with action is so much better. Thank you so much for, as I said, I really do believe. There's something out there for you. Keep trying stuff keep thinking about different ideas. Sometimes it takes them But this together, people are figuring out as we go, so the best is yet to come. I hang in there
