Notes from Chris
Episode 92
LISTENER Q&A: Our listener questions for this week come to us from Natalie in San Francisco, CA and RJ in Monroe, CT:- After listening to Side Hustle School, Natalie has started her own side hustle, and she has her site up and running. At this point, she's trying to determine the best steps to promote and drive traffic to it. So far she's tried boosting her website traffic using Facebook Ads, but she's not entirely certain that this is the best route for her to take and has started reaching out to other thought leaders in her field.
- RJ has already started his side hustle, but now he's thinking he'd like to create an app to go along with it. He's looking to bring a developer in to help him, but he's been overwhelmed so far with all of the options available. Additionally, he wants to know what the best way to work with a developer on a budget is.
