Trying to do Free


                                                              Hello My Hustlers

Happy 2024 I know January is a slow month for hustles that's why I am trying to find stuff that would enhance my business for free. Meaning I am hustling books now, Since I like reading them, I might has well sell them to. So. I have opened a hustle bookstore online I am using google sites to make a free website, I am using most of the social media platforms like facebook, twitter, pinterest , and podcasting to promote my book website. I use canva to make anything like posters, banners etc. Most of what I am doing for my bookstore is free. I am trying to do that so that the little money I do have to use for the bookstores goes to something I cannot do. I use fivvers for stuff that I can't do and my budget for my bookstore is as I make it. By doing surveys, mystery shops and other things that will bring me income I use that money to finance my bookstore. So, since I have no money as of yet I am using all the free services I can get online.

So that's what I am doing with my new hustle. What are you doing with yours for 2024?

                                                                Happy Hustling

Racking My Brain


  Hello My Hustlers, How's the hustle going. For me the holiday season in selling has been pretty good. I am making some sales. Trying to get rid of all the stuff I foolishly purchase giving stuff away for a little above my cost. Which helps my sells. I have 2 weeks before Jan 1th 2024. I am wracking my brain about this $30 dollar challenge. I am trying to think out of the box with this one, but I realized that you can only do so much to make money nowadays. It's surveys which are far and few between and they want to pay you 50 cents to 2 dollars for hours of your time. Mystery shopping which is good if they paid more but $8-10 dollars for hours of works is like working for pennies on the dollar. Selling stuff online it's good if people are buying but with this economy sales are far and few between.

I have looked into coupons, but I have to spend money to save it which I rather not do. So yea this $30 dollar challenge will be just that for me a challenge. So, how's the hustle going making sales, meeting new people that can enhance your business for 2024?

In two weeks, it will be 2024 it's time to either progress in your business or rethink it so it can prosper.

                                                              Happy Hustling

Beware Of Thieves



  Hello 
 My Hustlers So how's the hustle going? Beware of Thieves here's why I say that. I sold a doll on my website. The person later contacted me telling me it was the wrong doll. I told then no problem just send it back. The person didn't want to pay for shipping to send the item back. They wanted me to pay for return shipping. I told them to look at my return policy the shipping of returns is the buyer's responsibility. The buyer took me to paypal. Which paypals said the same thing give back the product and get your money back. The buyer wanted me to send the doll they requested and keep the wrong doll plus they wanted their money back. Go figure that happening. So now paypal is handling the situation. This year and every time you sell on a selling platform beware of thieves and always cross your eyes and dots your t's aka cover your business a** .

For the 30 dollar challenge nothing so far but I am early in the game it's doesn't officially start until Jan1 2024 but I'm trying to get a jump on things and ideas to make money from the $30 I already have. Got any ideas. I am doing surveys but most of them are not too good or I don't qualify for whatever reason. So, I am back to square one with finding money making ideas.

Monday Jan 1th


                                                    Hello all My Hustlers

Happy Saturday. Well, I found out that Jan 1th 2024 is on a Monday what a great way to start a $30 challenge it being the first of the year and it's a Monday. So, how's it going with your hustle? Again, mind sucks I think the economy has something to do with people not buying like they used to. No extra money to spare. I can't blame them I am also over here counting my pennies to.  I am still about my Hustle trying to make a buck here and there anyway I can.

Maybe it's just me your hustle is probably better than mine. I hope for the season weather you're selling or providing a service and it's good to you.  Right now, to boost my hustle I am creating a podcast for my love of selling books and other things. Think about it you can create a podcast for your hustle that's free and all you need is some good information a bit of time. I am on Spotify now which use to be Anchorfm. All for free. You know I try to let you know about the free stuff when it comes to your hustle if I can,

                             Well have a great weekend and happy hustling

This Sucks


                                                                Hello My Hustlers

Happy Thanksgiving Holiday. Well, this black Friday thanksgiving sales weekend sucks for me what about you? I have sold some things in the pass. Now the buyer wants their money back without sending me the merchandise. And they want me to pay for shipping cost if they do send it back to me. Picture that. Also, I have a lot of lookie loos but no real buyers. I have slashed my prices to rock bottom. Where I am only making a few dollars if that on most of the items I am selling now just to get rid of stuff. I am hoping that your sales for the holiday is much better than mine

To add insult to injury I am doing it once again the $20 dollar challenge for 20204 but now it will be $ 25 dollars with inflation you add extra. The basic is to take the $25 or heck let's make it $30 inflation is running heigh this year. Take that money think of an idea and make money from it. Let's set a goal of $500 to make from that $30 in one year start Jan 1 2024 ends Dec 31 2024. I will use this platform to keep a record of my progress. I told you I was a glutton for punishment. I have done this challenge twice already and failed both times. This time I will not fail I hope. Alright if you want to do the challenge with me in regard to your business let me know and we will keep each other accountable. 

                                               Until then Happy Hustling.

So Slow


Hello my Hustlers. I don't know if it's me or the economy that's making my business very very very slow. My sales have fallen by the waist side compared to last year at this time. I used to have 5-8packages a week going out ( I sell on the internet collectable toys) but now I am lucky if I have 2 packages in a month going out. Most of my sales are for the lower price stuff. I hope your having better luck then I am.

Do people still save for the holiday through holiday clubs books at the bank? If they do, then the checks should be in the people's hands by now. Hopefully people will start spending some of their holiday money on gifts instead of the things they need to buy. Hope your sales are going better then mind because mind Suck!

                                                            Happy Hustling

Eggs


                                                                     Hello My Hustlers

I get it now when they say don't put all your eggs in one basket. It's so true here's why. I have an online store ( Bonanza) that I have used for years.  Around last year they started to get a little funky. Meaning the fees went up they closed some of my stores. I had 3 without notifying me. They messed with the things I did list like it disappeared. That kind of funky. It was like they were telling me we don't want your business anymore. I have contacted their customer service online only. They kept giving me the run around run. Saying they were working on the problems etc. So, I got feed up. I started looking for other places to sell. 

Don't put all your eggs in one basket because if you do then that basket is bound to break, and you will get screwed. Just my opinion.
