What I wish I did before maternity leaveβ¦
|
Hey there When I went on maternity leave, I thought I had it all figured out. (Well, the business part, not the being a new mom part - I was pretty clueless about that.) Still am actually....O_O) β But hereβs the truth: I set up automated emails to run and thought, YAY!, its all running in the background while I figure out how to sterilise a bottle and try not to strangle my husband as he takes 15 mins to warm a milk bottle .. (I digress -_-) β β β Weirdly, my engagement skyrocketed during the first three months after my delivery; people just wanted to be part of this new journey! But I kept getting the same question : 'I've bought ALL your products, do you have anything new?' 'How are your blogs still making you money while you are on maternity leave?' 'How are you still growing your blog traffic with minimal time ?' 'How do you make money on social media with just posting on your IG stories??' So instead of feeling fully present during those first few months, a part of me was stressed. I kept thinking, βIf only I had created lots of training on these questions beforeβ¦ I could send it to them now and earn lots of money from these new digital products.β What I wish I had done differently:β Forget about creating new, big, complicated courses; you just need to be ONE STEP AHEAD of your audience. When I am back from my holidays and settled in Malaysia, I am going to challenge myself by creating one simple digital product in one week. That's it. I'll put a deadline and deliver it. I'll use the exact strategies from the below, to make it easy to build and sell easily You can find out :
Because digital products donβt just make money β they create space. And sometimes, that space is worth more than any dollar amount. If youβre still waiting to start, learn from my mistake. Donβt wait for a life change (or crisis) to force you into action. Start building now, even if itβs tiny. Future You will thank you. That's all from me today; thank you for reading!

When I wanted to start earning money from a blog and begin my journey of making money blogging, I just started writing and hoped for the best I had zero plan on how exactly my blog could make me money To be honest, I thought : Let's get lots of traffic, and the rest will come However, I had no plan for generating a lot of traffic either! Letβs be honest β most of us are guilty of thisβ¦ We publish content without thinking: HOW will it make me money?? We get caught up in writing, editing,...
You know the type. The person who slides into your DMs with βCan I pick your brain real quick?β β¦ and suddenly youβve written them a full consultation β for free. It happens to every business owner and blogger at some point. And while generosity is part of who we are, hereβs the truth: you canβt build a sustainable business if you give away all your time and expertise, all the time.
