From Struggling Blogger To $10K/Month

Aisha Preece is the founder of Out and Beyond, which she describes as…

A site dedicated to discover ways to make and save more money and explore different location-independent lifestyles that you can earn money from.

As of this 2022 interview, Aisha was earning $10K+/month from her site 🤑

How she got started…

After working in banking for 8 years, I caught myself looking out the window.. wishing I was somewhere else… I googled ways to make an extra income and discovered I could be paid to edit documents.

So, in my free time after work and during lunch, I would edit university documents for professors.

This was my first taste of working online and it was incredibly addictive.

So Aisha didn’t start out as a blogger. Her first taste of making money online was straightforward freelance work.

That’s something I see all the time: freelancing as a reliable stepping stone to bigger things 📈

How Aisha eventually got into blogging…

I set up my first blog in 2017 and I did absolutely nothing with it because I got stuck in analysis paralysis. As many of us do.

But…

Towards the end of 2019, unfortunately my best friend passed away overnight and that really kind of shook me… tomorrow’s never guaranteed, but we think we have so much time to chase our dreams.

Then…

At the end of 2020, I finally learned SEO… and my first site went from 7,000 page views to nearly a hundred thousand pages in seven months…

And finally 2022 was when it all came together. And my first site finally now earns me over $10,000 a month.

Aisha’s site is monetized display ads, her own courses, workshops and affiliate offers 💰

From her About page…

I now run 6 monetised websites, and a team of writers and create digital courses on side hustles and blogging.

💬 Encouraging last words from Aisha…

The fact that I learned all this despite being allergic to technology is a sign that you can MOST DEFINITELY, do the same!

I finally replaced my full-time banking income and I work less hours, where I want, when I want!

If I had to break down Aisha’s story into a blueprint, it would look like this 👇

• Freelance first
• Build that up to replace your job income
• Start working on a higher level business on the side
• Keep learning new skills
• Persist through the ups and downs
• Eventually break through
