My landlord's out of the house for a whole frikken month! So I'm throwing a party. You can steal my landlord's booze if you want... or, if, like me, you're a nondrinker, I've ordered HUMM Kombucha in bulk, which should be arriving by Tuesday afternoon. And there will be cake. Feel free to stuff yourself while... While you bid on your chance to... 🤯 Get your offers in front of AT LEAST 9,000 people, GUARANTEED! 🤯 In a classified ad in my newsletter (top of the newsletter).

Sometimes, emails from random subscribers make for great entertainment fodder... although a part of you wants to cry, too. Like this one... ----- Good afternoon, Side Blogger staff, I keep receiving your emails, but I don't understand what you actually do or what value they add to anyone's life. Once again, you are like a lot of other text people who put stuff around, who assume everybody is a computer geek and understands all of the nuances the computer language people use. I am interested in an open discussion space where I can discuss issues with people, but with a level of security that ensures plenty of scrupulous people around, seeking to get access to my computer for malicious reasons. So, unless I can understand what it means, I think I'm left to try to kill it off, as it comes across my computer very regularly. ----- This came from a person (or persons, because they signed off as Name & Name) who subscribed to my list 4 months ago and has opened almost every email... according to Kit, anyway... Like... what am I to make of this...? 🫠 Anyway... what's making you laugh and cry at the same time, these days? Share away!

Have you ever made money outside of your JOB and current business? I wanna know (and brag about my own entrepreneurial past because...) Tell me all the ways you've made money. No judgement. Bake sales, foot pics, whipping people (or being whipped)... anything goes... And if you have never made money in *unconventional* ways, that's cool... take this opportunity to come up with some ideas! (Why? I dunno... it's fun...) Make a list of things you could do... list-making is the epitome of creativity, not talked about enough... Mine: - The beginning was good old tutoring my neighbor's kid back in middle and high school - I ran a print magazine in college for film photography. Sold each issue for $13... which was $1 over the cost of the printing and shipping... it was never gonna pan out. - I once taught people how to do hand-lettering (I have no idea why people were paying me because man I sucked!) - I've made websites for people - I took photos for artists' and actors' "portfolios" - One artist couple hired me to design their yearly TriBeca artwalk booklet (24 pages, $1,350... covered that month's rent last minute... whew... NYC rent is no joke, even way back when). - A chick in NYC paid me $5 to take her photo with my Polaroid... 👇

So, Woo Commerce and I got into a fight last night. I apparently won because I deleted it and got SureCart. I hear that SureCart isn't as bulky to help with loading times. Do you have any experience with it? What is a better secondary option to consider? I won't get anything but a "free" option due to my overhead costs.

I love auctions. It's official. John B ran another auction this morning and I'm still a little wired up about that... So, even though I only have 11 people who voted so far... I think I'll go ahead and run the auction in a few days. Maybe change the plan a little bit in case the bid doesn't go high enough... but yeah... forkit cuz I'm running it. And if you have no idea what I'm talking about... https://www.skool.com/anthill-club-6065/my-newsletter-open-house
