My Story

How It All Started

Well, I guess this is my story...

I actually 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 money. 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 3 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 that it could always be worse.

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

Moving on...

So, after high school, I joined the military to not only serve my country but to also learn skills I can use to be successful in the future.

Unfortunately, I didn't have the skills that would allow me to make a real living outside of the U.S Army so I decided to take on different side hustles to become my own boss.

After many failed attempts trying different business ideas (And getting scammed), I was finally able to find one that worked for me and now I want to share my story in hopes to help others who are in a similar situation.

This is how it all started and why I became a content creator...

My Success Story In 2021

So I started my first blog using the methods I learned from taking 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 a lot of hard work and determination, I was finally able to make my first sale after only three months of working on my blog.

My First Side Hustle started out with affiliate marketing and I loved the idea of making money selling other people's product but again, I made the mistake of trusting "gurus" online and I purchased a $4000 course that I could have honestly learned for free using YouTube and Google search... At that point, I gave up on affiliate marketing and that's when I tried blogging out.

Boy was I in for a huge headache, I thought it was going to be easy setting up a website and just throwing content out that I liked, but 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 just 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 important people in my life felt like I was just wasting my time and that crushed my online journey. 

I knew they were just looking out for me, but I always kept seeing others win and I just kept getting very frustrated because I knew that 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 meeting my amazing girlfriend Gloria.

I was able to get traction from credit repair topics and earn revenue through affiliate marketing, YouTube videos, and consulting.

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

And after only one year of working on my blog, I was able to quit my job and become 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 really kept me going was having a strong focus on my goals and persevering no matter what.

But now as I continue to build my online business, I look back at where it all started... And it all started with a blog.

And that's how I was able to achieve success. So if you're looking for ways to create your own online business, I hope that my story can inspire you to keep going no matter what challenges come your way.

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 here I am today, running my own successful online business and helping others achieve their goals through blogging and becoming a content creator.
