About Me
Salut tout le monde!
I’m Andréane Laure — but since most people outside of France can’t pronounce it (c’est la vie lol), you can call me Andie, et tout va bien.
(If you want to try, it’s pronounced “ahn-dray-ahn”, with a nasal tone on the first “ahn”.)
I’m a writer, SEO content manager, former French–English translator, lifelong metalhead, and the person behind Be Productive Every Day.
I started this blog in 2021 with one simple goal: to help people beat overwhelm and build a realistic, sustainable online income.
What began as a small side project soon grew into a home for productivity tips, SEO, blogging strategies, and ways to earn money from home — without fluff, hacks, or “get rich fast” claims.
My Story
I’ve always been drawn to words.
As a kid, when teachers assigned a 1-page essay, I turned in 10 (so I can say I’ve always had a thing for long-form written content 😁). Writing has always been my way of organizing the world — and myself.
I’ve always longed to have my financial independence, so at 15, I got my first two jobs:
- selling CDs (yes, they still existed in 2010 — and I miss them dearly),
- and helping older folks with tech at a cybercafé.
Between the metal, the books, and the essays no one asked for, you could already see where I was heading.
Years later, I became a French-English translator, then a freelance writer and ghostwriter, and eventually transitioned into full-time blogging and SEO content management.
Somewhere along the way, I just realized I didn’t want to spend my life waiting on editor approvals or living on the emotional roller coaster of freelancing.
So I thought: “Why not build my own publication — and my own career?”
Bonne idée!
And here we are.
Why I Created Be Productive Every Day
This website started as a side project while I was juggling two other blogs. I wasn’t expecting much — I barely had time to touch it. But then something unexpected happened:
With only a couple of dozen posts, the blog made its first $450 in affiliate commissions.
It wasn’t “a lot,” but it was meaningful. It proved the concept. It proved the niche worked. And it proved that helpful, honest content still reaches people.
So I gave this website my focus — and it paid off.
Today, I publish 5–10 posts a week, mainly focused on:
- SEO
- Blogging
- Affiliate marketing
- Home business ideas
- Productivity
- And practical digital strategies people can actually use
My goal is still the same as day one: create content that helps without overwhelming.

My Professional Background (a quick overview)
Before becoming a full-time content manager, I worked as:
- a French–English translator (books + documents)
- a freelance writer
- a ghostwriter for publications and authors
- a print-on-demand business owner (side hustle only)
- an SEO writer and strategist
- a blog manager for multiple niche websites
That combination of communication, research, writing, translation, and digital marketing naturally evolved into what I do today.
Why I Don’t Teach “Hacks” (and What I Teach Instead)
I’m not a fan of shortcuts, sugar-coated advice, or false promises.
I prefer:
✔ practical strategies
✔ realistic timelines
✔ data-backed decisions
✔ high-quality content
✔ sustainable income models
✔ and honesty — always
If you’ve read any of my posts, you’ve probably noticed I write the same way I talk to my mailing list: direct, friendly, a bit nerdy, and (sometimes) very French.

Why I Explore Other Niches (and How I Stay Safe Doing It)
My ADHD brain loves new projects, so I often create niche sites on the side to test ideas.
But I’m also extremely risk-averse.
So I follow a simple system:
I maintain two “core” websites that guarantee my financial stability, and then I allocate a small budget for explorations.
C’est aussi simple que ça!
This allows me to experiment, learn, grow, and (sometimes) sell niche sites — without gambling my stability.
