WEEKLY RECAP: What Should You Name Your Side Hustle Idea?

Notes from Chris

Episode 204

LISTENER Q&A:

This week we had a couple of listener emails and a listener question from Liz in South Carolina:

• Liz feels that she's finally landed on a viable side hustle idea—she's researched it, priced it, and is even using skills that she already has. She even thinks that her start-up costs will be low and totally manageable! All of this has Liz squarely on the right path, however, she has one road block on her side hustle journey: picking out a name for her side hustle. She can't really launch her side hustle website or build a brand without it, so she's looking for a way to pick out a name quickly so that she can get the ball rolling.
  If you're like Liz and are struggling to find a name for your side hustle, here are two tips for picking out something that will lead you on the path to side hustle success: 1) be descriptive (For examples, see Ep. 158 & Ep. 201 and 2) don't be afraid to pick something clever (For examples, see Ep. 27 & Ep. 198).

**Tune into the Weekly Recap to hear a couple listener updates and get a more in-depth look at these two naming tips!

If you have something you'd like to ask me or an update you'd like to share, 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!
