I want to start a side hustle but
don't know where to start…
Have you been wondering how you're going to afford a vacation this year? What about those much-needed renovations to your home.
How will you pay for any of this on the income you're currently earning?

You know things can be different in your life, you know you should be getting paid more, but you're stuck, you don't have a clue what to read or do to change things…
You're ready to take a leap of faith and dive head first into creating a profitable side business, but for the life of you, you're not sure where you should start.[/text_block]
What about creating a website?
And how on earth do you even know if your idea has ‘legs'?
Your biggest question right now is “where and how do I get started?”
Stop feeling overwhelmed right now and check out my best blog posts, vlogs, and products to help you start your own side hustle within the next 7 days![/text_block]
Step #1: Choose a profitable idea
This is one of the biggest mistakes I see new business and blog owners make — not making sure that their idea is going to be profitable.
If you don't know if your idea is going to make you money, how can you plan for world domination?!
It also helps if you've got an idea or skill that you can start your side hustle with, but if you don't, then you definitely need a bit of help.
Don't skip this step. Having an idea and then validating it is key to your successful side business helping YOU achieve your income dreams and goals.

Step #2: Choose the right business model
I feel that a lot of us want to start a business because we have to or because we want a different life and we do so without really thinking things through and looking at the types of business models available and figuring out what will work for us.
There are many options, and often the fastest (and easiest?!) path to earning some cash is through providing services, like starting your side hustle as a freelancer, consultant, copywriter, virtual assistant etc.
But if you don't want to be swapping your day job or another ‘trading time for money' situation, then a service-based business probably isn't the right option for you (although I'd recommend it's where you start).
If you'd rather work from home, out of a co-working space or even your local cafe and then scale the hours you work based on YOUR needs, not the needs of a client, then you'll need to decide if you want active or residual income or a mix of both.

Step #3: Create your website
Make life a little easier on yourself and get your website set up as soon as possible.
Why?
Because then you can start building your email list, which is one of the most important things you can do when getting started with your side hustle.
But you can't exactly build a list if you don't have an online home to send people too, right?

Step #4: Pricing
Now you need to figure out what amount you're going to charge for your side hustle. Easier said than done it might seem…
But once you understand the simple formula behind pricing your products or services, it makes life a lot easier.
