Notes from Chris
Episode 1264
Here are a couple of questions you need to ask whenever you have a potential side hustle idea:- - Who is this for?
- - Can I explain it in one sentence?
- - Is there sufficient demand for this? (Another way of saying it: “do people want this?”)
- - Do they want it enough to pay for it?
"Hi, this is Naty from Sacramento. I just started listening and I love the show. I'm afraid to start a side hustle, but I know I need to start before I'm ready. So here goes my side hustle idea is a user web site for crafters to exchange craft projects. So crafters can finish their unfinished objects in order to move on to other creative projects. I also want to provide a service where master crafters, myself included, can offer to finish, start or fast forward projects for a fee. My question for Chris is this a good side hustle? How do I monetize? Could I start something like this on WordPress? How do I get users for this site? Let me know, Chris, if I'm barking up the wrong side hustle tree. Thanks. And onward with the revolution."Listen to today's episode to learn more...
