How I Became My Own Boss - Influencing, Podcasts, Working for Myself

Description

4 years ago, I almost quit podcasting because I felt like I was wasting my time and no one was listening. Two weeks later, I had an idea to promote my podcast on TikTok, and that one video completely changed everything. I went from 200 listens per week to charting number 1 in podcasts on Spotify and Apple. In this episode, I’m taking you guys behind the scenes of how I went from working a job I didn’t love to quitting, becoming my own boss, starting Trying Not to Care, and eventually turning social media and podcasting into my full-time job. I’m talking about the mistakes I made, what I wish I knew sooner, how I started making money as a creator, and what actually helped me grow.If you’ve ever thought about starting a podcast, growing on social media, or trying to turn something you love into a career, this episode is is filled with some advice that I wish someone had told me when I was starting out. 🎙️✨📸Trying Not to Care is sponsored by Arya - Get $10 off your first month at getarya.com/TNTCTrying Not to Care is sponsored by Warby Parker - Our listeners can buy one pair of glasses and get 20% off any additional pairs at WarbyParker.com/TNTC — and using our link helps support the show. #WarbyParker #adKEEP UP WITH ME ON SOCIAL MEDIAInstagram: Ashley's Instagram | Trying Not to Care InstagramTikTok: Ashley's TikTok | Trying Not to Care TikTokYoutube: Subscribe hereAmazon Storefront and more: LTXWANT TO ASK ME QUESTIONS?
