A Woman’s Guide to Making a Living in Rural Mexico: How to Find A Job and Create the Life You Want

If you remember, approximately 40 days ago, give or take a few days, I signed up for Leonie Dawson’s course 40 Days to a Finished Book. Well, guess what? I finished a book!

I’m pleased to announce that A Woman’s Guide to Making a Living in Rural Mexico: How to Find A Job and Create the Life You Want is available for preorder on Amazon! From now until July 14, it is available for $2.99 pre-order. Amazon has mixed things up and you need to click on the “Other sellers & formats” in order to see the sale price. Once you click there, you’ll see “New from $2.99.” Your ebook will be automatically delivered to your Kindle on July 14, after which the price will go up.    

The reviews from those lucky ladies who received an advanced review copy are better than I could have dreamed of. 

“This is like a primer on Mexico!! It’s a ONE stop guide to being successful/surviving Mexico. It’s an entire course. School is in session!” From Roxana Bangura of the Bangura Institute.

“I haven’t finished yet but so far, I LOVE IT!!! I’m learning some things I didn’t know. I’ve been taking notes.” from Margret Ruiz of Margret Ruiz Photography.

If you weren’t already aware, A Woman’s Guide to Making a Living in Rural Mexico: How to Find A Job and Create the Life You Want is the sixth book in the series A Woman’s Survival Guide to Living in Mexico. I have at least two more books planned in the series.   

As you can see from the latest book, my mission continues to be to provide valuable information to women who have moved to Mexico so that they can create a fulfilling life despite the obstacles. So here’s my call to action for you! I’m positive that there is at least one book in this series that would benefit you personally, or a woman you love. If you would share this post (or a direct link to the series) on your social media networks, I would be exceedingly grateful (as will the women who benefit from my humble writing efforts).

What is Buy Me A Coffee?

Although I joined the Buy Me A Coffee platform some time ago, I recently sprinkled additional buttons on my website. 

Buy Me a Coffee is used by more than 200,000. It’s a Patreon alternative for writers, artists, and bloggers. Fans can support their favorite creative by buying virtual “coffees” (which is a small cash donation to further creative endeavors). 

In addition, you can find “extras” on my Buy Me a Coffee page. Those of you that have been faithful followers for a while now, probably already have these ebooks, which are no longer available on my site, but exclusively at Buy Me a Coffee. I hope to have more of these extras later this year. I’ll keep you posted!

Buy Me a Coffee also has a membership option. This would be for people who would like to become a “patron of the arts” and provide regular support for creatives. Some artists and bloggers provide exclusive content for their patrons, but I’m not going to do at this time. My goal in blogging and writing is to share useful information that helps people without a fee, not make a profit from it (although a coffee now and then is never remiss).

WAAAAY down at the bottom of the page.

There is also a “share” option at the very bottom of the page. Since the more readers I reach, the more people have access to the useful content I create, this is a nice way to increase exposure and doesn’t cost a cent.  

So there you have it. You’ll see green Buy Me a Coffee buttons on Surviving Mexico and blue on Content Creative, in case you are have a mind to provide a little “coffee” motivation!

Work At Home Bundle Flash Sale

I’ve been working from home for about 2 years now. In case you don’t remember, I teach English as a Second Language to both adults and children mostly in Latin American countries. I also have a writing gig where I write about elder care around the world and prepper topics.  I absolutely love working from home. It certainly has been lifesaving since the pandemic and social distancing began. 

However, it took years for me to position myself to be able to work from home. Not only did I have to figure out how to get electricity and the internet installed, but I went through quite a streak of ventures that weren’t very lucrative at all. 

Today I’d like to share Ultimate Bundles Work at Home Bundle which is available just two days, October 26 – 27 for $37. It has 28 products worth $1600 including 11 eCourses, 9 eBooks, 4 workbooks, and 4 templates. Let me break it down even further for you. 

There are:

  • 5 products focused on job opportunities
  • 6 products on personal development
  • 6 products on productivity
  • 7 products on creating a side hustle
  • 4 products on establishing a work/life balance

I’m going to concentrate on the job opportunities and side hustle sections because although the other aspects are important, if you are looking for a way to earn income from home, those are the sections you’ll want to get to first. So here’s what you’ll get about opportunities and side hustles: 

  • From $0 to $1,000: How to Create Your Own Work-from-Home Job! (eBook) by Bethany Lotulelei 
  • How To Find Real Work From Home Jobs (Plus 150 Companies That Hire) (eBook) by Anna Thurman 
  • Remote Job Bundle (Workbook) by Chhavi & Amit 
  • The Ultimate Guide to Make and Save Money at Home (eBook) by Kylie Travers 
  • Virtual Assistant Jumpstart: How I Went From $0 to $3000 In Three Months (eCourse) by Alexandrea Harrelson 
  • Create, Launch and Grow Your Online Presence: An A – Z Blueprint for Turning Your Passion into Viable Income (eBook) by Abi Faniran 
  • Create Your Own Side Hustle Income Plan (eCourse) by Kerry Beck 
  • Digital Marketing QuickStart (eCourse) by Alison Reeves 
  • Fear Not! Confidence-Building Insights, Tips & Techniques for Freelance Writers (eBook) by Carol Tice
  • Power Bundle: 1Month – $1K + 5 Side Hustles That Actually Work (eCourse) by Amanda Teixeira 
  • Pricing Template and Guide (Printable) by Menucha Citron
  • The Work at Home Training Program: The Ultimate Guide to Working at Home, Making Extra Money, and Avoiding Scams (eBook) by Bethany Mooradian 

I bought this bundle during its original sale week a few months ago. I’ve worked my way through the eBooks and now I’m slowly but surely working through the eCourses. There is SO MUCH information that it’s taking some time. 

As things continue to be uncertain this year, working from home, no matter where in the world you live, will give you more peace of mind, fewer chances for contagion, and a bit of jingle to your pockets. If that appeals to you, pick up your copy of the Work at Home Bundle while you can!
