Blog updates
Nothing to update here this week!
Outfit side hustle updates
I made $1.44 this week off my outfit blog!
I’ve made some outfit collages but I haven’t scheduled any posts so I’m more ahead than I was before but not as ahead as I want to be.
I made my blog post and then reapplied to some affiliate programs but I got rejected AGAIN smh smh that was kind of annoying. I’ve only been applying to the same four programs so I will try branching out a bit more.
One thing that annoyed me was that two of the programs that I want to apply to were under flexoffers which is an affiliate program kind of like impact. So I got rejected from flexoffers which meant that I couldn’t apply to those programs. I tried to reapply this month and because I got rejected I couldn’t use the same email address (which is so dumb) but when I changed the email address I couldn’t use my domain because I already used it before so I ended up having to email them and I’m still waiting for a reply.
Also I emailed pinterest to ask them why my pins aren’t doing well and they haven’t replied yet either. I’m going to change my strategy for the next few posts though instead of pinning directly from my website I’m going to manually upload them and see if that makes a difference. I’m scared that my account is flagged as spam but I don’t really know how I would know that hence the email to pinterest support.
Insights and takeaways
A complaint about scams
This is not really an insight/takeway but sometimes get questions for help with side hustle stuff where it’s just obvious that things aren’t working out because they’re running a scam (poorly) and it annoys me. Anyways that’s my rant thank you for listening.

Medium
In December I did worse on medium than November. I think I will stick with medium for an extra three months (Jan-March) and see if it does any better at all. If it doesn’t I’m going to drop it following my six months for a side hustle to see if it works rule. Although I don’t consider my Medium to be a side hustle though since I’m not really writing on it like a real Medium writer would.
