Side Hustle Spark 232: Call-to-action examples and why they work (ConvertKit)
ConvertKit started out as a valuable email tool to compete with the likes of MailChimp and others.
It has since actively moved into the content creation realm.
Bravo to founder Nathan Barry and his team.
ConvertKit’s [March 2, 2021] newsletter pointed me to 25 call-to-action examples (and why they work).
Yet another post that is a mini-course in itself.
Thanks for visiting!

Side Hustle Spark 228: Blog layout tips from Ryan Robinson
Ryan Robinson covers blog layout with a post that could easily qualify as a mini-course.
In fact, this is a ‘pour yourself some coffee, sit back, and take notes’ kind of post. (Suggestions: Open a Google Doc and copy/paste the ryrob.com tips most helpful and relevant to you. To further cement the information, read it aloud. Record yourself, even.)
My goal after reviewing this post: Make at least three immediate changes to sidehustlecurator’s layout.
As you can see, I have not been overly invested in layout and design.
I want to deliver the content to you folks and move on.
But who’s fooling who(m)? (The grammar gods are annoying at times.)
A better design will more effectively provide content for the audience.
For now, because I want #228 ouit there today, I’m sticking with my utilitarian design for this post and plan for improvements next week.
Sections of this post that I will click to first:
- Fonts You Can Read
- Organize for Easier Access
- Design to Be Scannable
- Creative vs Cluttered
- Blog Layout Examples
Ryan also covers building engagement, calls to action, branding, page load strategy, image quality, and designing a relatable layout.
Finally, use the comment box to let me know if there’s a more helpful way that I can curate/present content like this for you.

Side Hustle Spark 227: Like magic! More time for your side hustle!
Okay, okay, you can stop rolling your eyes now, it’s not exactly magic.
Once again, Nick Loper delivers on value and quality suggestions for effective time management.
AND he throws in a free time tracker!
Click here to visit his page with the text summary and podcast versions of:
How to Make Time for Your Side Hustle: 10 Steps to Positive Progress.
In this valuable–even inspirational–episode, Nick weaves in lessons and experience from various podcast guests to reinforce his time-management guidelines. Also included: book recommendations and time tracking tool suggestions.
Here is a sampling from his list:
- Figure out where your time is going now
- Find the time that works for you
- Aim to complete the smallest actionable chunks.
Here is the link to the opt-in for his Google Sheets Time Tracker document. DO opt in!
[After downloading, under ‘File’, click ‘Make a copy’, and you can customize as needed.]
Enjoy! And forge ahead.
And now, time for my book recommendations…
These seven titles are go-to sources of inspiration and valued experience. These are affiliate links which, if you use to preview and buy the product, won’t raise the product’s price and will earn me a commission. At that point, I’ll be that much closer to buying that unclaimed island in the Caribbean. Please don’t ask for the island’s coordinates. It is mine and you can’t have it. ;->
- Keep Going (Austin Kleon) Perfect kick in the pants for when you’re stuck.
- Show Your Work (Austin Kleon) The world is waiting for your stuff, even if it’s not (especially if it’s not) perfect.
- Side Hustle: Idea to Income in 27 Days (Chris Guillebeau) One of the first, and most reliable, ‘bibles’ for this niche.
- Atomic Habits (James Clear) This guy makes so much sense, even if he was spitballin’, but he backs it up with research as well. In other words, don’t even try to counter with any ‘yeah-buttals’.
- Poke the Box (Seth Godin) The message of this book: Get started. And keep the mindset throughout.
- The War of Art (Steven Pressfield) I love the formats of both of Pressfield’s books in this list. Some pages are only a paragraph long (perfect for my attention span). But this message is: I’ve made my point. And I’m moving on. And his main point? Resistance is pervasive and powerful and destructive to our dreams. But it can be defeated…but usually just one day, or one hour, at a time. Steven Pressfield’s books guide us through these same battles.
- Turning Pro (Steven Pressfield)
This list cuts across so many lines of productivity and accomplishment. Whether you use my links or go elsewhere, get your hands on these.
