Who Is Eddy Ballesteros?

Hi, I'm Eddy. I Help Creators Unlock Endless Content Ideas With AI.

After starting my personal brand, I gained over 30,000 views and 1000+ subscribers and monetized my business through YouTube and Blogging.

I love researching new topics, such as AI Tools and how content creators can leverage them for their online businesses.

It's one thing that drew me to SEO and being a content creator.

What You Should Know About Me

• I joined the Army Reserves right after high school and continued to live paycheck-to-paycheck without knowing what the future held.
• I knew I wanted to do something more with my life, and I tried many side hustles, but most failed.
• One business idea that worked for me was in the credit repair industry. This led me to learn about content marketing and SEO since I needed to learn how to get clients.
• I then started my very own blog and started taking blogging courses online to learn how to rank on Google.
• I started earning money online from my affiliate marketing blog and continued my growth, which led me to become a blogging coach for the program I learned from.
• I decided to take SEO and AI more seriously. After months of researching and experimenting with different tools and techniques, I launched a business to teach others how to create profitable brands through blogging and YouTube.

The Full Story About Eddy Ballesteros

This is my story about how I became a full-time blogger and YouTube creator.

I come from what everyone calls the "California bubble."

I grew up in a decent neighborhood where almost everyone had a good job and never really had to worry about finances. 

I never really traveled outside of California other than on camping trips and visiting my dad's hometown in Guatemala.

But when I was younger, it wasn't always like this.

My parents split up before I was even born, and my dad did everything he could to bring food to the table. He had to work three jobs and was always working to make ends meet.

This did allow me to truly feel grateful for what I had. Even when things were tough, I knew it could always be worse.

Eventually, my dad and mom found their significant others, and I moved in with my mom.

Moving On...

So, after high school, I joined the military to serve my country and learn new high-income skills I could use to succeed.

Unfortunately, I didn't have the skills to make an honest living outside the U.S. Army, so I decided to take on different side hustles to become my own boss.

Quick Fact:

In 2019, I began my first blogging journey and failed miserably because of a lack of motivation and FOMO (Fear of missing out.) 

Now, I have grown two online businesses from the ground up and blog full-time to help entrepreneurs escape the rat race with unique side hustles.

My Success Story

 So, I started my first blog using the methods I learned from Adam Enfroy's blogging course and Create And Go's Six-Figure Blogger course.

At first, it was challenging since I had no prior experience in blogging or marketing online.

But with much hard work and determination, I finally made my first sale after only three months of working on my blog.

My First Side Hustle started out with affiliate marketing without any money, and I loved the idea of making money selling other people's products.

Still, again, I made the mistake of trusting "gurus" online and purchased a $4000 course that I could have learned for free using YouTube and Google search...

At that point, I gave up on affiliate marketing, and that's when I tried blogging. Boy, was I in for a massive headache?

Setting up a website and publishing content would be easy. 

Still, it was the complete opposite, and that's when I found out you need to learn SEO, building relevant content, organic reach, building connections, social media marketing, influencing others, and so much more that I wasn't prepared for.

My very first blog completely flopped, and I was miserable. I felt like I was letting everyone down around me.

The most influential people in my life felt like I was wasting my time, which crushed my online journey.

I knew they were looking out for me, but I always kept seeing others win, and I just kept getting very frustrated because I knew I was meant for more.

The Push I Needed 

Little did I know that all these side hustles I tried built me up to where I am now, and my wife never gave up on me.

I got traction from credit repair topics and earned revenue through affiliate marketing, YouTube videos, and consulting.

I started making money with a bootstrapped affiliate marketing website, and it was the best thing ever.

Side note: I became a blog coach for Adam Enfroy and The Jasper Mastermind.

After only one year of working on my blog, I quit my job and became a full-time blogger. Looking back at where I started, it's hard to believe how far I've come.

But through all the ups and downs, what kept me going was a solid focus on my goals and perseverance, no matter what.

But now, as I continue to build my online business, I look back at where it all started—with a blog. And that's how I could achieve success.

So, if you're looking for ways to create your own online business, I hope my story inspires you to keep going, no matter the challenges.

Because with hard work and a determined mindset, anything is possible. And if I can do it, so can you! :)

So, as they say, the rest is history... Now, I am running a successful online business and helping others achieve their goals through blogging and becoming a content creator.
