Are you an introvert that wants to start an online side hustle to gain more financial freedom? You've come to the right place!
I get to travel and live abroad because of my side hustles. From my wins and fails, lessons learned, and experiences, I want to share my honest thoughts and advice to help you start your own online side hustle.

I'm also creating a content calendar for this month and the next, so these are topic ideas I currently have right now and would love your help:
- a blog tutorial
- how to start creating digital products (tutorial)
- how to become a content creator in 2026
- how to build a personal brand in 2026
I'm going to start leaning more into giving tips on personal branding and content creation with this channel while maybe occasionally doing lifestyle videos, too!
If you have any other video ideas you'd love to see, comment below!! <3

I'd love to know - what is one of your goals for the new year? I'll go first - I want to be invited to a creator event this year 🥹 literally would be a dream!
Let's share our dreams together and make it happen!

I lost my job 4 months ago and instead of finding another job, I decided to go all in with my side hustles and content creation to make $5K in 90 days.
63 days later, that $5K goal came a lot faster than expected 🥹🫶I appreciate your support and messages through this journey.
And as a HUGE thank you, I want to answer ANY question you have: making money online, content creation, unemployment, etc!
I will be uploading the video next week ❤️ so feel free to ask your questions below 👇

Ever since my Youtube shorts have been getting traction, a bunch of people have been messaging me asking if I could take a look at their content and give feedback… so I decided to open 5 spots this month for personalized content audits!! 😊
I’ll go through your YouTube, Etsy, blog, or socials and send you a quick video review + one-page game plan so you know exactly what to work on next.
If you’ve been wanting to grow and need fresh eyes on your content, the link's here: stan.store/melanierrenee/p/11-audit-pkfhgtz6 🤍

🚨 YouTube Fam!!! I made something for you since this Youtube community means so so much to me 💛
After getting my first brand deal with just 900 subs (yes even before I was monetized on Youtube) and having made over $2000+ in brand collabs, I finally put together everything I wish I had when I was starting out.
It's called Paid to Create, a brand deal kit for small creators who want to start pitching, negotiating, and actually getting paid to post.
Inside you’ll find:
✔️ My pitch templates (exact email templates I used to pitch)
✔️ A customizable media kit + rate card
✔️ My exact strategy for landing paid brand deals and how I landed inbound brand deals (even with a small following)
✔️ Plus a 4-week action plan to help you take action!
🎁 Launch price: $20 (YouTube-only!)
👉 Grab it here: stan.store/melanierrenee/p/paid-to-create-guide-yo…
This is a limited offer as I plan to raise the price soon!
If you’ve ever thought "am I too small to land a brand deal?" this kit is for you 💌
Let me know if you grab it and as always, I'm cheering for you!
Feel free to reach out or comment below if you have any questions :)

Hey friends!!
I just wanted to take a moment to share a little behind-the-scenes of my side hustle journey.
Truly it's the unseen moments of staying up late to edit a video, filming after work, or spending hours working on this craft that have grown me as an individual.
There have been plenty of long nights, self-doubt, and setbacks along the way. It’s so easy to get caught up in comparing myself to others online, but I wanted to remind you (and myself) that progress is progress, no matter how small.
If you’re building a side hustle (or thinking about it), know that it’s okay to have ups and downs. Some days you’ll feel on top of the world, and other days you might feel like you’re not getting anywhere.
But trust me, consistency is key and that’s what I’m trying to remind myself today.
This is a gentle reminder for you, too <3
Where are you at in your side hustle journey? I'd love to know in the comments!
Here's a pic of me going on a walk yesterday to take a mental break from work. Take care of yourself <3

NEW VIDEO OUT!
This one hits home a little more as I talk about navigating social anxiety as a content creator and how it's held me back for sooo long. If you struggle with social anxiety or fear of what others think, you're not alone <3
I hope this video helps you on your content creator journey, friend! I'm here on this journey with you too :)
WE'RE IN THIS TOGETHER!
