My Second Year as a Part-Time Author - Part One

2022 marks my second year as a part-time children's book author. If you had asked me if I would be "side-hustling" as an author/finance speaker, I probably would have "side-eyed" you. Check out this three-part blog post on my second year as a part-time author.

No more bake sales, it's time to get creative! 3 Ways Being in a Pageant taught me about Crowdfunding

Now, kids have more opportunities than ever to reach their goals. They can use companies like Piggybackr or Kickstarter to raise funds for their projects. They can reach out to just about anyone for help via social media. They can also leverage the resources of their parents, friends, local businesses, etc. In the era of COVID, instead of going door-to-door or having fish fry’s like I did. Kids can use the internet and social media to reach far and wide audiences! So when your child has their next fundraiser, you can be well equipped to supporting them!
