✦ HONEST SIDE HUSTLE GUIDES FOR BEGINNERS ✦
MEET NICOLE
Well, hello!
I’m Nicole Hanson. In 2021, I started Pinterest as a side hustle, pinned whatever came to mind, and waited for results. Turns out the internet doesn’t reward random.
Nobody had told me the one thing that mattered: I wasn’t creating for anyone in particular. No specific reader meant nobody felt the content was meant for them. Once I chose one reader and wrote just for them, it finally made sense.
After that, I started exploring Etsy, Canva, digital products and printables as real ways to earn extra income. I kept running into the same problem: plenty of excitement, almost no talk about what it costs, how long it takes or what can go wrong.
So I built the blog I wish I’d found. Tech Broast is where I share step-by-step guides with honest costs, realistic timelines and zero income promises. My co-author, Andrea Bell, and I read each other’s work before it goes live, so you get advice that’s been checked, not guessed.
If you’re just getting started, you’re in the right place. Let’s skip the mistakes I made.
