Step 1
Make a list of your hobbies, talents and skills.
Take 10 minutes to write down everything that you enjoy doing. It can range from creative to organizational skills or something related to your full-time job and even something completely new.
Step 2
Narrow that list down to one thing you can see yourself spending a lot of time on.
Remember, you are starting a new business on top of your full-time job. This means that you must be dedicated and passionate about it. Turning your side hustle to a full-time gig will require longer work hours on top of your regular office hours. But if it’s worth the effort, you’ll know it.
Step 3
The 10-person rule.
This step helps you decide if your side gig is worth pursuing. Reach out to 10 people to ask for basic questions regarding their interest in your project.
Step 4
Start creating valuable content.
Simply set up a social media profile on Instagram, Facebook or TikTok – the possibilities are endless! From there you can start creating your content. The audience you gain from this exposure will form a solid foundation for your business.
