Hit $10k in freelance income this quarter for the first time

I picked up a few extra projects back in January just to fill some gaps. Nothing special, just some data entry and spreadsheet work for a local real estate agent in Austin. Then one client referred me to another, and another. I added it all up yesterday and I hit $10,240 for the quarter. That's more than I made at my old retail job in 6 months. Anyone else have a side gig that just snowballed on them?

My carpal tunnel flared up doing data entry for a title company back in 2022 and before I knew it I was booking 30 hours a week just from referrals. It's wild how one small job can turn into a whole thing. $10k in a quarter is solid, that's real momentum.
