Plenty of side hustles stall at the “my friends love it” phase. The leap from free samples to the first stranger’s dollars isn’t about social reach; it’s about putting the product where buying already happens. For baked goods, that place is a local market packed with people who came to spend on food.

I have zero clue how to land an actual paying customer outside friends and family. Cold-calling coffee shops feels terrifying; posting on social just gets ‘likes’ from acquaintances.
