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.
🔒 Heads-up: The website is currently set to private while we finish the final updates. As a subscriber, you can still log in to access content, but the public version will reopen by Friday.
🔄 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.
“The path forward is always changing. Be willing to change with it—but always, and only, for the better.”
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.
