0:00.0	You're listening to a beautiful mess podcast. We're always giving our friends advice about
0:11.8	how to start a blog or mate's side income from influencer work, and they never do it.
0:16.9	So in today's episode, we're compiling all our advice for you. If you've ever wanted
0:21.0	to make full or part-time income from blogging or social media, this episode is for you.
0:26.4	Yes, this episode is for all of our listeners who are like, I like it when you talk about money,
0:31.8	because that's a very certain part of our audience is like the money people, and this one's for you,
0:36.7	because we like talking about money too. Okay, so I thought you could start off by giving us
0:40.5	the most important advice, Emma, like if they're gonna like click off after five minutes,

1:21.6	perfect, so they keep tweaking, tweaking, tweaking for like five years, and they never actually

1:35.8	but never gets finished. But the success of those two is starkly different, and it has nothing to
1:42.7	do with how good the idea was, which is crazy sad in a way, but it's like finishing is it?
1:48.5	Where it's at. So if you have an idea, the most important thing you can do is finish the idea,
1:54.2	which might include like years of work. It might not be like one time finish line thing, like running
1:59.6	a race, but as you finish things, you grow, you learn, you get better. For us, it has to do with
2:06.2	like growing a following over many, many years, because a lot of times people will ask us like,
