It is a mountain of work - and I’m also on the path to figuring out how to manage and grow my different side hustles effectively.

Mind Maps are great, but not as good as a database in Notion.

For my own part - I have three Niches.
Each Niche has a free Beehiiv newsletter website and a
Each Niche has a dedicated Publication on Medium.
Each Niche also publishes into a range of other Publications on Medium.
Each Niche has a range of social media profiles, such as a business profile on Linkedin.
Each business profile may have a range of various groups where content can be shared.
Each Niche has a branded shop on the Whop Marketplace

Keeping track of all those moving parts, in each niche, is overwhelming.
