7 ways to make money online

7 ways I make money online using my skills, God given gifts and my story

 

  1. My first online sales came from creating my own branded products that I sold on Amazon FBA.
  2. I loved the way I had grown as a person in starting my business and wanted to share that so I started creating printables, planners and sharing my story and content. I opened my Etsy shop itstartswiththedream and remember how nervous I was, then getting my first sale.
  3. I then sold my printables on my website, then physical planners. I relaised I had to make my own traffic. I built my 100 or so subscribers by sharing free printables in Facebook groups. I created blog posts, used instagram and Pinterest. I then started making Youtube videos which I post on my blog, and use the audio on my podcast.
  4. Next I took a course called Passive Income Planner Girl by Michelle Rohr and this was the best $99 I ever spent in my business! I became an affiliate which means you get paid if people buy a product through a link. This is my affiliate link if you love planners and want to check it out. Passive Income Planner Girl

5.  I went on to create a course about how I make my physical planners as I had a lot of people asking me how I go about it. I offered a low price to buy the course before I’d made it to the people who had said they were interested. I then taught the content live in a FB group and they gave me some feedback. https://itstartswiththedream.com/plannersondemand/

Some of my students in my course became my affiliates. They promote my course and get a commission. That’s one of my favourite ways to make an income. You have people who like what you do, simply share it with their people who it could be a great fit for! It’s a win win situation.

7.  As I had these creative skills I had people ask me if I could design their printables. I started to offer creative service doing all the creative things I do for myself in my business. I have space for 2 retainer clients if you’re a course creator or run a membership or program.

8. Finally the 8th way I’ve made money online is by coaching or mentoring. I’ve run a membership where I coach women through goal setting. I also offered one to one sessions with my planner students as some wanted more help or accountability. I love sharing what I know and find this a really fulfilling way to make an income.

In this episode, I’m sharing reflections about identity, worth, dreams and why Christ is the only secure place to build from and be rooted in.

This episode came out of a voice note convo I had with one of my divine led cheerleaders. We were talking about identity work often found in coaching and self development and why it had been helpful but lacking.

I reflect on the impact of right roots in identity, goal setting and following your purpose.

🎧 Tune in now wherever you listen to podcasts.

And ask yourself: What has/have my identity/purpose and dreams been rooted in?

Being a Christian Isn't Just a Label — It's a New Identity.

In this post, I share a powerful shift God is stirring in this season: moving from surface-level Christianity to deeply living as sons and daughters of God. This identity shift changes everything—how we live, ask, expect, and show up. Ready to live from your full identity?"

I talk more about this powerful shift in identity in module 1 of Brand New Era. And why it’s key when you want to share your God given message through a business, ministry or gift.

⁠Brand New Era⁠ the self study course is currently open until Thursday 10th July.

The dove, the rushing wind and the tongues of fire are ways the Holy Spirit has been described or experienced. 

Today is Pentecost when the spirit of God lit the church and we believers got to receive God's Spirit alive and living within us for personal transformation and to build his kingdom.

Be blessed 🕊️

I'm spending my Saturday in silence — not scrolling, not talking, just being still before God.

It’s uncomfortable. Vulnerable. Revealing.

But it’s in the silence that we hear Him most clearly.
✨ Be still and know. ✨

I've prescheduled this post while I'm a silent prayer retreat being hosted by the spiritual director who has helped me greatly on my faith journey.

This ancient contemplative practise has been just one for the many things I've been exploring this last 18 months and been part of my faith based inner healing and walking ever more closely in my God given identity.

Brand New Era was birthed through this journey. 

It's about uncovering, healing, becoming and using our gifts, stories and voices to share God's message of love, grace, eternal life and healing.

If you're interested in the joining the self study course visit bit.ly/bneselfstudy

Any final questions DM and I'll answer on my return. Doors close tomorrow.
