This week, we're diving into a really cool business model that scales and has really low overhead: paid newsletters. Danielle Desir started the Grants For Creators newsletter earlier this year and has already built it up to around $1,300 a month in recurring revenue. Danielle also hosts The Thought Card Podcast, which is all about affordable, luxury travel and personal finance. Tune in to The Side Hustle Show interview to hear how: Danielle came up with her newsletter idea she found her first subscribers she sold the premium version of her newsletter Full show notes

Funding a podcast can be tricky. Unless you’re one of the top-rated podcasts, ads typically won’t generate all that much revenue. Paywalls are great under the right circumstances. But if you don’t already have a large following, they can be a barrier to your podcast being discovered. Enter grant funding. Yes, grants exist for podcasters, you just have to know where to find them. So Danielle Desir Corbet, founder of WOC Podcasters and host of The Thought Card Podcast, started ‘Grants for Creators’ a bi-weekly newsletter aimed at helping creators find grant funding for their projects. She chats with Stuart about what grants can do for a project and how to find the right one for your project.

Located in the heart of Metropolitan Phoenix, Tempe, Arizona, is a college town with a personality all its own. With 330 days of sunshine each year and the average temperature around 87 degrees, Tempe is a fun, refreshingly offbeat destination that embraces an active lifestyle and laid-back atmosphere. It's also a place where community matters. Splash around on a lake, explore miles of hiking and biking trails, chow down on delicious eats and not-so-typical treats, cheer on your favorite sports team or grab a cold at one of the many craft breweries. But what you may not have realized is that Tempe has a vibrant art and cultural scene.  From performing arts to contemporary art, and even the natural beauty of the Sonoran Desert, in this episode, we discover where to experience art in Tempe through three remarkable Arizona attractions - the Desert Botanical Garden, ASU Gammage, and ASU Art Museum.  Want to support The Thought Card Podcast?  Consider leaving a rating and/or a review on Apple Podcasts sharing your honest feedback.

It's hard to believe that Acquania and I started Millennial Wealth Builders one year ago in 2020. We started this audio docuseries because we wanted to create a space where Women of Color can be celebrated for all of the creative ways they are building wealth. Women of Color are often left out of the wealth-building conversation, and we wanted to change that.  Over the last year, we've had the pleasure of documenting the journeys of twelve women, including ourselves. Their stories touched us and inspired us to dream bigger and pursue our audacious financial goals.  One year later, Acquania Escarne, the host of The Purpose of Money, is growing her real estate portfolio and prioritizing passive income. Co-host Danielle Desir, the host of The Thought Card Podcast, has quit her corporate career to pursue creative entrepreneurship.  Acquania and I close out the series by sharing how we are building wealth one year later, at the end of 2021. We sincerely hope you enjoyed this limited audio series and will grab a copy of the book (yes, we're writing the book!!!) when released in early 2022.  Follow my author page on Amazon to be the first to know when pre-orders are available!

Sarah Wilson is an enthusiastic travel agent who specializes in private travel and guided group tours. Sarah believes that travel is about experiencing the world and all that it has to offer. She doesn't only want to help you plan a vacation, but create once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Private options include private jets, private homes and villas, private islands, cruises, yachts, staff, events, and more.  In this episode, Sarah reminds us that private doesn't mean pricey. Yes, luxury travel is more exclusive, but it doesn't have to be exclusively expensive. Due to current demand and health and safety concerns, more companies are offering unique tours and excursions for small groups that cost the same as, if not less than commercial travel experiences. Sarah Wilson shares why financially savvy travelers should consider private travel, the benefits of hiring a travel agent, and why it is more affordable than you think.   Expedia Sponsorship I'm so excited to share that Expedia is officially sponsoring The Thought Card Podcast this summer.

Website: The Thought Card Podcast: The Thought Card Resources, Tips & Tricks: Always travel with Kleenex, hand sanitizer, baby wipes and Imodium/Pepto-Bismol Always make a note of where the hospitals are, specifically the hospitals that your insurance will only work with. Always know where the nearest Pharmacy is to you accommodations Depending on your symptoms you may want to try the pharmacist first as they have some similar training as doctors when it comes to medication. This of course is dependent on your travel history - snake bites, animal bites, serious injury or bleeding etc., head to the hospital. Busing lines for street food vendors id a good sign. Not just for the test but it also means high turn over of food.
