Big Changes Are Here — Here’s What’s New (and What’s Next)

Hey there, fellow side hustler —

Today’s update is packed with exciting progress and a behind-the-scenes look at the big changes we’ve been working on.

Let’s dive in:

✅ What’s Already Launched

✨ A Brand New Look
You might’ve noticed we’ve refreshed everything—from the inside out. Here’s what’s already rolled out:

• A new logo

• A new color palette

• New content categories to help guide your journey:
   • Explore Your Options
   • Prepare to Launch
   • Grow With Strategy

📬 A New Weekly Schedule
We’ve moved away from daily posts to something simpler and more impactful:

• Mondays – Paid editions land in your inbox

• Wednesdays – Free blog-style “Journey Path” posts go live on the site

• Fridays – Quick recap emails + occasional behind-the-scenes dispatches

🚧 What’s Still Coming This Week

We’re not done yet! Here’s what’s on deck:

• A brand new website layout

• A streamlined newsletter format

• Our first paid newsletter is almost here:
   → The Creator’s Playbook launches this Friday
   → First edition drops next Monday

More details coming Friday—including how it works and what to expect.

🔄 What’s Changing

This shift isn’t just about looks—it’s about focus.

We’re moving from a wide, scattershot content base to a more intentional, choose-your-own-adventure structure.

Our goal? To help you take the next best step based on where you are in your side hustle journey.

That means:

• Our older Side Hustle Growth content is being archived, rewritten, or repurposed to match the new format

• Our Deep Dive guides will no longer be published as regular posts
   → Instead, they’ll return as standalone content packages later this year

🧭 Why the Big Shift?

When I first started Side Hustle Quest, it was a personal experiment:
Could I really run a newsletter consistently?
Would I find enough to say?

Well—I proved to myself that I could.
And I’m so grateful you’ve been part of that journey.

But now, it’s time to evolve.

We took a step back and asked the hard questions:

• Who are we really serving?

• What kind of content is most helpful?

• Are we providing guidance—or just inspiration?

Here’s what we learned:

✅ Readers prefer shorter, more focused content
✅ Video content is highly requested—we plan to incorporate it as we grow
✅ Clear journeys are more impactful than random ideas

So that’s where we’re heading.
And we hope you’ll come with us.

Thank you for being a part of this evolving adventure.
We’re just getting started—and I hope you’ll be part of what’s next.

See you Friday,
Shelly Leroux C.M.S.C.
