Expanding the side hustle, enabling dh to quit his job!
« on: November 06, 2017, 08:15:27 AM »
Sooo, I've been teaching ESL online with VIPKids for 7 months, and I love it so much that I'm going to expand my schedule.

I started working 2.5 hrs/day, 5 days a week and made $1100/month, but now I'll work:

5 hours/day, 7 days/week, and bring home $3000/month!

Yay! This means that dh will be able to quit construction and dedicate himself to his side-hustle (raising cattle), and he'll be able to build that up into a legitimate business. And, since we homeschool, he'll be able to be around the kids more, have leisurely mornings together, and take the boys with him when doing cattle stuff.

There's a link in my signature if you want more info!

Thanks Acroy! I'm actually expecting it to even out more or less, since DH will be around more.

Do you have to have teaching experience?

Yes, though you can count alternative things like camp counselor, tutoring, training, volunteering, etc.

LS, I've been following your story since the beginning. I am so impressed with the progress you've made in such a relatively short time. I hope starting a new thread doesn't mean you'll have less time for journal updates, which are always a pleasure to read!

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
