The short version:
I’m Cassidy (she/her/they)—a blogger, writer, and digital products creator. With this blog, I create digital products, write about them, and share my stories through my creations. I help beginner creators earn a living by doing what I do—blogging, writing, and selling digital products 🙂
P.S. Not that it matters but I do enjoy writing my own words without the help of an artificially intelligent program (AI). As such, human errors are to be expected 😉

The long version:
Back in 2023, I realized that nothing in life was guaranteed. Not a well-paying full-time job, no guarantee of a 100K per year salary, regardless of your qualifications. I won’t go into details, but let’s just say that I had a wake-up call.
I decided that it was time to build something of my own, something that will be mine no matter what.
And so, in March 2023, The One Shop digital Products was born.
This blog has come a long way since I started this journey. In the beginning, I was writing about my blogging experiences — things I was learning, things that were working, and things that were not working. Then I added a shop to my blog and started selling digital products; ebooks, guides, and mini-courses for bloggers and creators, and then I started teaching everything I was learning through writing. I love writing, and it’s much easier in my experience than video content for social media.
Looking back now, this whole thing feels surreal. I started making a living from these side hustles just after two months into this journey. Crazy, right? I mean, had you told me back in March of 2023 that just a year later I’d be making well over 5K per month from this side-business, I would have laughed at you.
And yet, here we are.
Anyhow, if you’re ready to start your own blogging journey, start creating products, or both, you’re in the right place! I have blog posts, free resources, paid online courses, and much more. Welcome aboard!
