As I view my LinkedIn or Facebook feed, I see lots of people celebrating their new position in their work life. Moving from one company to another in search of a better opportunity, more happiness. Are you seeing some restlessness in people being a part of a large company as well?
I see people going out on their own by working a side gig or creating a side hustle. For some, they choose to walk into a side gig that’s all set up for them, like driving for Lyft or shopping for Shipt. But there are many others who are creating their opportunity from scratch, brave enough to become an entrepreneur. They have found a way to solve a problem for themselves and now they are marketing that solution to others, solutions that add value. I just learned about a very successful businesswoman who helps people manage their curly hair. She makes over $8000 a month from her blog. I listen to a lot of podcasts about people starting their own business and I find it very interesting. People want to be creative, and they want to contribute in a meaningful way. There is so much to learn and sometimes people struggle because they don’t know how to get started. That’s where I can help.
How I got started
In 2000 I started my first side business while I was on bedrest during my pregnancy! Decided to quit my job to stay home with our baby and ended up running a fun side business that was very fulfilling. I love the thrill of starting something new and have started several businesses over the years. I started Mindshare Marketing in 2010 to help others with marketing related tasks and I got good at creating WordPress websites and blogs and now that’s what I spend most of my days working on and I love it.
How I can Help
I meet with every client to fully understand their needs before I get started. I can help get your website hosting account set up, install WordPress, help find a theme that fits your style, and install several recommended plugins to give your website or blog extra functionality. I can set up and teach you about SEO (search engine optimization), making sure your website or blog is secure, and even more complicated features like adding a shopping cart, videos and more. I can help you get started and teach you how to manage it yourself. You won’t know how successful your side hustle could be if you don’t ever start. I make it very affordable, and I teach you along with way, so you understand how it works.
Call me if you want to brainstorm ideas. If you already know what you want to do but just need help setting it up, then let’s get started! I love learning about new business, and I really love empowering my clients to do as much as they’d like on their own. They find comfort in knowing I am always available to help them if they get stuck.
Blog Setup Service
I added a new service to my website called a Blog Setup Service. It’s a basic plan to get a WordPress blog set up for $189. I offer additional services, or you can take it from there. Connect with me to learn more! I can’t wait to help you get your project implemented!
Watch this Tedx Talk
Here’s a link to a YouTube video of a short Tedx talk by Nick Loper of the Side Hustle Nation. I listen to his podcast frequently. It was recorded in 2015, but the message is still relevant. Nick explains the 3 C’s and how entrepreneurship is growing. Listen to Nick.

Are you the type of person that gets up early to “get a little work done” before everyone else wakes up? Then, once everyone is off to work or school, you work another 6-8 hours from your office or home office location. Break for dinner and maybe some evening plans, then work again “after the kids are in bed” or when you realized you did not accomplish all that you set out to do that day. I call this working 3 shifts, the early am, the mid-day, and the after hours shift. Some days I work all three, but you can’t do that too many days in a row or you go crazy.
