I’m sure you’ve been wondering this about every blogger you come by! So let me explain.

But I also make money as a freelancer! So money comes from a variety of different areas for me.

Why and when did you start this website?

I started TheContentBug.com on October 18th, 2016. But it didn’t actually launch to the world until January 2017. And if you want the truth, I started this website because I hated myself. I felt like I didn’t have control over my life and I wanted to actually enjoy living. So I started a website as an outlet for my creativity and knowledge about digital marketing. And within a year, I was able to leave my full-time position to work for myself as a freelancer!
