Network Site Spotlight: ToughNickel

Most of us need money to survive, and most of us need jobs to make money—for better or for worse, these are things we have in common. Of course, these aspects of modern life look different for everyone, but from exit interviews to personal investment accounts to side gigs to cryptocurrency, there's a lot to understand when it comes to navigating the choppy seas of employment and personal finance. 

Everyone comes from a different financial and professional background—a freelance photographer and a full-time daytrader both get to be their own bosses, but their skillsets and knowledge bases are completely different. A real estate agent from the UK and an app developer from Puerto Rico might work in entirely different sectors, but both could have firsthand experience settling a workplace conflict with the help of an HR mediator.

ToughNickel is a place where all of this knowledge collides—a place where employees, managers, renters, owners, entrepreneurs, side-hustlers, amateur investors, and professional financial planners can all benefit from each others' unique experiences.

Do you have a story to tell about a problem you solved in the workplace? Do you trade stocks and other financial securities in your spare time and want to share your investment strategy with others? Have you tried all of the paid survey-taking gigs online and know which ones offer the most compensation for your time? If it's got to do with work, money, real estate, scams, finance, crypto, coupons, or side hustles, it just might be a fit for ToughNickel.

Here are a few great ToughNickel Articles for those who may not yet be familiar with the site: 

Up your financial and professional literacy by exploring ToughNickel, and don't forget to share some knowledge of your own!

Pro Tips

The Importance of Author Bios

Your author bio is one of the first things readers see when they land on one of your articles. Build trust right away by concisely describing your personal experience, expertise, or passion for the subject matter you are writing about. 

Remember—you can have different author bios for the different subjects you write about, so don't forget to create a new one if you're writing about a new subject. This way, you can let your readers know why you're a credible authority in the subject or what direct experience you have with it.
