Summary
From burned out freelance writer to making $200+ a day in affiliate sales ... all in less than a year.
That’s Tami Smith's story.
Tami was writing affiliate content for clients when she had a “why don’t I try that?” moment.
Starting in late 2019, Tami went from watching clients make money from the articles she wrote, to making her own affiliate commissions on a site of her own.
Her effort and results on FitHealthyMomma.com are extraordinary, all while combining two things she loves -- fitness and writing.
Tune in to hear:
- how Tami gained traction and traffic so quickly
- the tools she uses to get the job done
- how you can follow a similar path with a side hustle of your own
If this inspires you to start a blog of your own, my free video series will help you get online quickly and affordably.
