How To Choose The Best Side Hustle
For You
13 January 2023
Now that you know how important having a side gig is and realize the incredible impact it can have on your life and business, it’s time to find the right one for you.
You may not realize it, but there’s a whole world full of side gigs that you could actually start today.
The endless possibilities can be a bit overwhelming, especially when you consider how many different paths your skillset could take you. So, before I give you a long list of ideas to mill around, let me give you a couple of easy steps to help you find the right side hustle.
Step 1: Make a list of your hobbies, talents, and skills
Have you ever heard of a brain dump? It’s basically a chance to get out all of your thoughts and ideas onto a piece of paper… but now the idea is to do it about you!!
Take 10 minutes and write down everything you love doing and everything you’re good at.
This can range from creative skills or organization to what you do in your full-time job or even something you’d love to learn more about.
Step 2: Narrow that list down
Side hustles require time and passion, so narrow your list down to the one you won’t mind spending a lot of time on!
Remember, you’re starting a new business on top of your full-time job. That means this needs to be something you are passionate about. You need to be dedicated, excited, and unceasing with this. If you want it to turn into a full-time gig, you’re going to have to work when you’re tired, putting in extra hours on top of already busy days. But if it’s worth all the effort, you’ll know.
Step 3: The 10 Person Rule
This step helps you know if your side gig is worth pursuing.
The 10-Person Rule is all about reaching out to 10 people to ask some pretty basic questions. Ask about their interest in your project and start to define your ideal clientele.
Step 4: Start creating valuable content
Once you have your feedback from the 10-Person Rule, it’s time to get to work.
You don’t have to have a product ready to sell immediately and you definitely don’t need business cards yet (ever?). Just put up a simple website and start creating valuable content. This can even be done using social media like Facebook or Instagram!
The audience you build by creating great content will form the foundation of your business in the future.
What's Your Side Hustle?
There are thousands of possible ideas for side hustles that can help you get your entrepreneurial juices flowing. No matter what you choose, remember the point of a side hustle is to help you build a better life, whatever that means to you.
Make sure you choose a side hustle that will help you go after your goals, whether they’re related to your career, finances, health, or happiness.
