WEEKLY RECAP: At What Point Should You Have a Website?

Notes from Chris

Episode 176

A COUPLE LISTENER UPDATES & QUESTIONS:

This week we had a couple of listener questions from Audra and Darryl:

• Audra's in the development phase of the project she would like as her side hustle, and she's not sure when she'll have a product to promote. Her question: at what point in the evolution of your side hustle should you put together a website and start promoting it? Is it too soon to start this phase if you don't have the product ready to go?
• After having many of his friends ask about his vegan dietary routine, Darryl decided that it may be a good idea to create a guide e-book to help others adhere to a vegan lifestyle. The only problem is that he’s never written an e-book and has no idea how to go about putting it together, publishing it, and marketing it to others.

If you have something you'd like to ask, I'd love to hear from you! Leave me a voice message on the website or call in to the Side Hustle Hotline (Dial 844-9-HUSTLE // 844-948-7853), and your question may be featured on the show!

CHRIS' RECOMMENDATIONS:

If you're interested in creating and selling an e-book like Darryl, here are some resources that you may find helpful:

• E-Junkie: This is an easy to use service that integrates with PayPal and allows you to deliver digital products to your customers. They also offer plenty of pricing tiers, so it's easy to find a plan that works with your budget and current product offerings
• Gumroad: This e-commerce platform is one that I use often on Side Hustle School, and I like it because it's incredibly intuitive and easy to use no matter how technologically savvy you are
