But that's the first time the little light bulb went off inside of my brain that I could get paid to do something that I was just naturally good at, and that I actually enjoy. I was spending 40 $50,000 a month, which is relatively small when you think about advertising. But when you're just starting out, that's a lot of money. So I was doing all of this stuff and I was getting cons but it was like very inconsistent. I have been taking these little classes online and learned a little bit about email marketing and stuff like that. But I still hadn't connected the dots of how that would work for me. Facebook cost me absolutely no money. I've been spending thousands of advertising and nothing had.I wouldn't get anything consistent. So really just kind of sparked it to really make me start diving deeper into social media marketing is like 10 years ago. I started establishing myself more as a resource online. So instead of just trying to showcase my work, which I would always show my word, I would just start basically storytelling before it became a thing. Content marketing is a big thing. It wasn't just to start showing people like my room or what things look like before. And if you can start the process of being consistent and kind of putting a little bit of structure to your content, you will get a gigantic return, because it's all about establishing yourself as a resource at the end. -- Connect with Hacks and Hobbies Here -- You can find Hacks & Hobbies on these popular social media networks: Facebook: fb.com/hacksandhobbies LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/hacksandhobbies Instagram: instagram.com/hacksandhobbies Twitter: twitter.com/hacksandhobbies or through our website: hacksandhobbies.com 🎙 Wanna be a guest?
