Okay, before I got to bed, I am going to throw out some words garnered from the book I am reading at the moment... and no not Hugh Johnson's Pocket Book of Wine 2019. The one that is about making #money via a #sidehustle by @chrisguillebeau
1. Everyone should have a #sidehustle. It is a way to make some extra money and can be useful as insurance in case you lose that ever important day job. Your side hustle doesn't have to be a main gig and should be started with a specific goal in mind.
For instance, perhaps you have a vacation coming up and you want to make some extra money to pay for it. Maybe you want to pay off those #studentloans and you can use a side hustle to do it. or maybe you are bored out of your mind and want something to occupy your time.
2. It isn't hard to start one but there are a few #rules you need to follow if you want to have a viable #sidehustle that actually makes money. Mainly, it needs to be quickly #feasible, #profitable, and #persuasive.
3. To find the right #sidehustle you should generate a list of ideas first, then choose the right one based on the above list of criteria. There are some more points that the book goes into, which is a good, and easy to understand. Basically you want to know if the idea is...
- #Feasible - can it be done & done quick?
- #Profitable - can you see a way to make money quickly
- #Persuasive - can you show the benefit & get people interested?
- #Profitable - can you see a way to make money quickly
- #Persuasive - can you show the benefit & get people interested?
Very like in the #startup world, you should approach your #sidehustle with action in mind. You should launch before you are ready. Over planning is a weakness here. Go with the minimal viable product (MVP) and then regroup and refine.
I will go into more of this in the coming days but I have really enjoyed @chrisguillebeau #sidehustle. I loved his #100dollarstartup and have read it a few times. If you find this interesting you can find the book here amazon.ca/Side-Hustle-Id…
Thank you for coming to my #tedtalk about #sidehustles and why you should have one.
