I can totally relate! I got paid £35 for my first blog post. One year later I now have a remote, 37.5 hour work week. It's enough time to earn what I need to live and go on holiday. My weekends and evenings can be spent with my husband, or building my 2 year YouTube, podcast and TikTok projects. I love it. I've taught myself enough to be a senior content manager and I'm learning a lot on the job. Once I hit the magic 2 years, I know it will be worth it and my time to work balance will start to tip in my favour :)
