Side Jam Interview #3 – Managing Facebook Ads

Welcome to our next Side Jam Interview!

Before we get started, I just want to share how awesome this whole interview experience has been. For starters, the feedback I’ve been receiving from readers has been so enthusiastic and encouraging.

And also, the amazing individuals who have agreed to be interviewed — you have no idea how much I appreciate your willingness to share your personal stories.

The sheer variety of experiences and creative ideas you’ve been sharing really puts a spotlight on the growth of entrepreneurship in recent years — As well as the many different ways everyday people can highlight their existing skills to create a profitable side business.

And speaking of profitable side businesses —

Today you’ll learn about Robert, who has a few different side gigs going on. He’s a super-friendly and personable guy who I met through social media. And he’s extremely motivated to make his dreams a reality for himself and his growing family.

Plus, he and his family raise goats, ducks, and chickens!

Who wouldn’t love that??

The Interview Questions

Tell us about a fun, unique, or interesting Side Jam you’ve tried:

Haha, one of my side jams is raising chickens for eggs. We pretty much break even on the sale of eggs so it’s not too profitable yet, but there is nothing better than those sweet fresh eggs for breakfast every morning!

While we don’t quite have enough volume yet to sell locally, we are currently selling to family, friends, and coworkers.

 

Now, for a more profitable side jam, as I mentioned I run a digital marketing company that helps small businesses thrive.

Not quite as unique as the chicken eggs, but it’s fun and way more profitable!

Side Jam Interview #2

Welcome to the second in a series of Side Jam Interviews!

With Interview #1, we met Cricket who is teaching business and money-making principles to her young daughter. They are having a blast with a side business of selling plants and worms.

Today I interview Nelly, who has paid off her family’s debt by working part-time as an online forum contributor.

 

 

And now, I’d like to introduce Nelly, who makes extra money on the side by contributing to an online forum:   

I am Nelly Brown, popularly known as Good Nelly in the online community. I am from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and write articles on personal finance and try to encourage my readers to manage their finances effectively. Apart from writing on personal financial matters, I love traveling. About 4 years back, I started my own blog where I talk about other things, too.

Hello and welcome to the very first installment of the Side Jam Interview Series!

The purpose of the Side Jam Interview Series is to highlight unique, interesting, and creative ways to make extra money on the side.

I interview people about side hustles they’ve tried, and find out the real scoop:

• Is it legit or a scam?
  
• Were you able to make money?
  
• How much effort was involved?
  
• Did it require any prior skills?
  
• Was it ultimately worth the time put into it?

 

 

And now down to the good stuff — Here are all of the details on my first Side Jam Interview:
