Jodi Carlson has been running her blog LeaderConnectingLeaders.com part-time since 2014 and has slowly built it up to $5-6k a month in revenue.\nThe earnings come from a combination of mostly digital product sales, as well as advertising, and affiliate relationships.\nThe surprising thing \u2013 to me at least \u2013 is that she\u2019s done this in a niche that theoretically doesn\u2019t have any money.\nHer readers and customers are almost all volunteers and they\u2019re donating their time to local non-profit groups \u2013 in this case, Girl Scout groups.\nOn the surface that makes it seem like it\u2019s as tough a niche as any to tackle, which makes Jodi\u2019s results even more impressive.\nShe brings more than two decades of experience in Girl Scouts to the table, as a scout, then as a troop leader, and even though the blog didn\u2019t start out with dollar signs in mind she\u2019s turned it into a substantial income stream.\n\u201cI actually started it to help myself, and to then help troop leaders in my community,\u201d Jodi said.\nJodi started documenting the activities she was doing with her Scout Troops in her blog and making PDF books so she could refer to them again in the future, and shared her articles with a small circle of other leaders in her community.\nIt wasn\u2019t long before Troop leaders further afield started asking for her activity books. This sparked the idea to start selling her books and growing her blog.\nTune in to hear how Jodi comes up with product ideas and prices those, how she made her first sales, how she\u2019s grown her traffic to more than 100k pageviews a month, and income to $5k + a month \u2013 all while working full-time and raising a family.\nFull Show Notes and PDF Highlight Reel: The $5k a Month Part-Time Girl Scout Blog\nRelated: Check out my free video series on how to start a blog.
