Having a day job and being a creator are not mutually exclusive
Why You Shouldn’t Quit Your Day Job To Become A Full-Time Creator
Why more creators should be working to carve out a part-time creator lifestyle.
Most people assume I’m a full-time creator. But nothing could be further from the truth. I work full time as a marketer coaching health & fitness professionals on how to grow their business through marketing.
My days are filled with coaching calls, marketing campaigns & lots of zoom meetings! But somehow I’ve managed to eke out a great lifestyle as a successful part-time creator as well.
Last year I published more than 250 essays, articles & threads. I grew my following from ~500 to 5000 on Twitter. I grew my newsletter to 1000 subscribers. And I made over $12k in revenue doing this all part-time.
And I think more people could benefit from this kind of thinking, rather than the more traditional “I want to quit my job and become a full-time creator.’
But being a professional part-time creator and holding down a day job will take a little planning & creativity. So here’s a peek into how I structure my days to leverage both.
