I hope you are all doing well! I’ve been promising you guys this post for a while now and I figured it was about time I got down to actually writing it haha! As I’ve mentioned, I started a new side hustle several months ago and I’m pleased to say that it’s going really well!

My current client base has my monthly revenue coming in at $1,650! For those of you that are keeping track, that’s just shy of $20,000 in one year!!! What would you do with $20 grand in your pocket?

So, what exactly does this side hustle entail???

“Senator, we run ads” – Mark Zuckerberg

I still laugh out loud every time I picture Zuck trying to explain how Facebook makes money to Congress!

The looks on some of the faces of members of Congress were absolutely priceless!

Anyway, enough about Congress and Mark Zuckerberg.

Let’s get to the meat and potatoes!

Well, I started out managing Facebook ad campaigns for local businesses, and that is currently where my revenue is coming from!

And, yes, there is so much more to Facebook ads than the “boost post” feature that you always see Facebook pushing you toward haha! There are a lot of ways that you can do more with Facebook ads than just building likes, comments, and shares on your posts and these methods will result in actual, measurable increases in sales for your business!

Pretty awesome, right?

Marketing Services

I started out with Facebook ad management but I am also continually expanding the services that I offer. My company, Gale Force Marketing, will be continuing to expand the services that are provided until we are a full-fledged digital marketing one-stop shop!

Currently, I am offering a full range of social media marketing services from ad management, to complete social media management. If you need some help, I’d be glad to give you a hand! Make sure you check out my Facebook page at Gale Force Marketing to get all kinds of free advice and tips! Don’t forget to like and follow!

A little backstory on how I got started with this particular side hustle:

If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you’ll know that I’ve been following Bobby Hoyt (better known as Millennial Money Man) for quite some time.

He was one of my main inspirations for starting this blog and just an all around awesome guy, so really you should go read some of his stuff.

Anyway, Bobby left his teaching job about 3 years ago to pursue Millennial Money Man full time! The problem was that his blog was only making $3.00 at the time!

Yes, $3.00!

So he needed some income! Long story short, he started managing Facebook ads to help bring in some cash while he was scaling Millennial Money Man into the awesome personal finance blog that it is today.

In January, Bobby teamed up with his good friend Mike Yanda, who is also just a generally awesome guy! The two of them launched a course called the Facebook Side Hustle!

It is mind blowing and full of so many nuggs of information on successfully managing Facebook ads for local businesses! If that interests you, check out the course! It’s how I learned everything I know about managing Facebook ads for local businesses, and I’ve been able to implement their teaching into a very successful side hustle!

And that’s not an affiliate link either, I just really like these guys and the course is frickin’ awesome, so check it out if you want to learn how to make some extra money!

What the future holds:

I’ve got over $60,000 in student loan debt that I really need to get paid off, and then I’ll be working toward becoming completely debt free as my fiance and I merge our finances together. We’ve got some work to do, but I am confident that with the additional income I am bringing in through this amazing side hustle, that we’ll be able to knock this debt out in no time!

That’s when the real fun begins and we can start getting way more aggressive with our investments and start letting our money make money for us! Yay to passive income!

Do you own a business or run a blog?

If you happen to own a business or if you currently run a blog, I’d love to help you out and get you generating more revenue! Check out my Facebook page and give it a like at Gale Force Marketing and get in touch with me if you want to chat!

I’d love to learn more about your business and see how I can help you achieve your goals!

That has been my favorite part of this entire process so far. Being able to help small, local businesses to increase their revenue and gain new customers has been incredibly fun and rewarding! I’ve really enjoyed talking with business owners, figuring out their pain points, and then putting together solutions to help those business owners to solve those pain points!

Final Thoughts

Money doesn’t come easy. At least not if it’s obtained legally haha! Just to be clear, I’m not advocating illegal ways to obtain money. Please don’t do that!

But seriously, making money is hard.

It’s a grind and it takes real work.

This side hustle has been a really good way for me to generate additional income, but it does take time, energy, and knowledge to make everything flow smoothly and to actually be able to provide results for my clients!

As I have mentioned before, I love to work hard, so that I can play even harder!

Have an awesome day!
