Very glad it was helpful, Lydia. I've been doing this for a while, so it makes sense to share some of the things I learned along the way.

You've inspired me here JD! So many great ideas for those looking to build an authentic Indy income! (love it :)

Very happy to hear that! It may not make you a millionaire, but it can pay some bills and make you happy.

That’s fine - I was told when I chose art and philosophy to study that i’d spend my life ‘thinking deep thoughts about being unemployed’ (it’s working out better than that:) - & the currency I’m really after is time :>

I think too many equate happiness with "more." More money, more cars, more clothes, more whatever...

Now that I equate happiness with "enough," my life is amazing!

Thank you! Very glad you and others are digging it. My hope is to spread the "gospel" of doing things in a non-traditional manner and just making things. I'd really like to bring that spirit of 90s zine making into the digital age for real.

Sounds good. Cardiff sounds like my kind of place. Definitely somewhere I’d visit given the chance one day.
