Some of my favorites include:

— Legit, content-rich clickbait

— ‘Day in the LIfe’

— Fact checks

Games

So the challenge is to narrow down from this list the items that work for you (or a virtual assistant) as a creator and for your audience. Good luck!

Side Hustle Spark 291: Overcome impostor syndrome

Lots of good tips here as most of us at some time or another–especially as we leave our comfort zones–face impostor syndrome.

A quote from Naomi Osaka: “…internally I think I’m never good enough. I’ve never told myself that I’ve done a good job but I do know I constantly tell myself that I suck or I could do better … Every time a new opportunity arises my first thought is, ‘wow, why me?’ ”

Other highlights from this piece by Julianne McShane:

“Part of those celebrations will include praising small wins, Osaka wrote, like recognizing when she wakes up and doesn’t procrastinate.”

“…think about where their impostor system stems from — and often, that’s childhood and family dynamics…”

Best of luck, side hustlers. You ARE good enough!
