What To Do When a Company Downsizes and You're Fired. Tips from HR. The Rising DamselMany of us find ourselves jobless at no fault of our own.

Utilize this gift of freedom to better your life and not let sadness take over.

My Second Blog Traffic Report – The Rising Damsel

Traffic Report 2nd Month Blogging. The Rising Damsel #blog #blogger #girlboss #diy #wahThroughout all of my blogging research, I most enjoy reading blogger’s income and traffic reports as a part of their monthly updates. They keep me motivated and I hope to do the same for you.

The birth of my blog was exciting and scary, in a most welcoming way. A little back story; I cut and ran from a blog I had worked on for six years. It was my longest relationship ever. Over time, my interests evolved and I found it increasingly difficult to produce quality content that I felt proud of. I wasn’t monetized, and I was spinning my wheels with stress and no reward. I knew that it was time to change direction and break free from my old blogging ball & chain. That’s when The Rising Damsel was conceptualized. It was a huge detour, however, the cost of liberating myself was minimal and the gain well worth it.

First, think outside the box as to where you can advertise your services. Perhaps start with your local gym, grocery store, coffee shop, recreation center, church, community center, school and library.

Online communities are great. Look on Facebook and see if your neighborhood and or school has a group page.  Often times you can buy, sell and trade on online boards. Within a centralized community, people are more apt to interact with each other and inquire about potential services offered.

1. Garage Sale Looter

You can clean up at a garage sale! Stock up on all sorts of odds and ends to sell as craft bundles on Etsy or Ebay. At one garage sale, I found 15 enamel brooches, circa 1990s for literally $1. To this day, I still wonder how much they would have fetched had I resold them on Ebay. You can get better deals at garage sales than at thrift stores, and… you can haggle!
