In this week’s episode of Extra Paycheck Podcast I am joined by an awesome entrepreneur Stephanie Halligan, the founder of Art to Self.
Stephanie Halligan built a career in personal finance. However, she had a passion for drawing cartoons and one day she decided to launch the Art to Self website where she could share her motivational cartoons with the world. The site grew and started generating income for Stephanie. Like many entrepreneurs Stephanie does lots of things and manages many different projects. This interview serves as proof that you could turn your passion into an income generator.
In today’s episode you will learn:
- Why you should start a project that relates to your true passion
- How to monetize a website without selling anything
- Why building an email list is so important
- How to organically grow your website (and your business)
- Why conversation rate is more important than traffic
- How to become an entrepreneur
- … and a lot more!
