INSIGHT

Turning a Cruise Gift Into a $3,000/Month Side Hustle

Identify an information gap in an area you're genuinely interested in, just like Tanner Collet did with first-time cruise travelers.

Create high-quality, useful content addressing specific questions your target audience has, using your own experience to meet their needs. Tanner focused on topics like what to pack and hidden costs, creating definitive guides that readers trust.

Be patient and consistent; credibility and income don’t happen overnight. Tanner published just two to three articles per week and stuck with it despite minimal early traffic.

Listen to your audience and adapt your content strategy based on what resonates most to grow your platform and revenue.

> It’s better to have a simple idea you can start right away than a brilliant idea that never launches.
