This post is for anyone who has been considering adding a side hustle to their life–– Having a little side job can be so rewarding! Whether you want to expand your creative hobby or bring in a little extra income, I’m going to lay out my best tips for anyone who is wanting to start a side hustle.
The best way to start out a side hustle is as a hobby.
Maybe you’ve had a hobby before and thought to yourself, what if I could actually make money from this? The truth is, you probably can! Create a regular time each week dedicated to your hobby and hone your skill. Post about your growth on social media and soon you’ll undoubtedly start to get inquiries about your service of product. That’s when you know it might be time to move on to the next phase.
What is the next phase? Advertising that you’re making your hobby an actual side gig! This might seem scary, but remember, this is just a side hustle. It’s meant to be fun mostly, but also beneficial. Some things you might want to consider at this point:
Posting on Instagram that you’re starting to sell your service or product
Creating an Instagram or Facebook page for your service or product
Creating a website or Etsy for your service or product
At this point, it’s all about consistency. Keep creating and keep sharing. It might be easy to lose momentum after the initial excitement of putting your service or product out there, so make sure to keep experimenting with your craft and be diligent about setting aside time for this side hustle!
