Is Advocacy Your Side Gig or Career?

I have found such a great way to make a little change from speaking and writing about my health condition. At first, I felt bad making money off of my story, but I realized my story is worth being told, and I am worth being paid to tell it.

If you are making money from your advocacy, How many of you felt weird at first but now are ready, willing, and able to make money for your advocacy?

  1. Yes I have, I have taken part to a Public and Patient Involvement group to discussion a research study, design and results about MSK conditions with a research team. Each meeting with them is paid.

    1. I’m interested in joining your board meeting

      1. Currently a side gig. Would like to make it a career through my writing.

        1. It's being to turn into a way of life for me. Definitely a passion of mine and I'm noticing gaps in care all around us.

          1. that’s awesome. I love that you see the gaps and want to fill them. ~Racquel ~ Social Health network team
