Hi, I’m Karen.

I’ve spent more than a decade working in content, digital marketing, websites, and online business. I’ve written articles, built websites, created digital products, worked with brands, taught classes, experimented with side hustles, and tried plenty of tools that promised to make all of it easier.

And somewhere along the way, I became much more interested in a different question:

How do you build extra income without letting the pursuit of it take over your life?

That’s what Side Hustle Peace is about.

I’m interested in business models and marketing strategies that can keep working after you log off — things like affiliate marketing, evergreen content, search, Pinterest, email, AI, automation, and simple systems.

Not because they’re effortless. They aren’t.

But because I’d rather spend my time creating something useful than feeding an algorithm every day or building another complicated business I have to constantly maintain.

What you’ll find here

Side Hustle Peace is where I share practical ideas for:

• Earning online without relying entirely on social media
• Creating content with a longer shelf life
• Using AI and automation to reduce repetitive work
• Building simple email and marketing systems
• Choosing tools, courses, and opportunities more thoughtfully

I only share tools, programs, and resources I genuinely like or think are worth considering.

Some links may be affiliate links, which means I may earn a commission if you purchase through them at no additional cost to you.

Browse my current recommendations on the Resources page.

The point isn’t to do more

There will always be another platform to join, product to create, strategy to try, or tool promising to save you time.

I’m much more interested in figuring out what’s actually worth doing — and what we can skip.

If that sounds good to you, you’re in the right place.

— Karen
