From Demographics to Desires_ Who is the ICA for Your Hustle?

From Demographics to Desires: Who is the ICA for Your Hustle?

When we think of a great side hustle, we often tend to focus on the product or service beyond all other things. And to be fair, that makes a certain amount of sense.

But have you thought about who will buy your product? What kind of person do you see buying from you?

Take a minute to picture that individual. That mental image is what’s known as an Ideal Client Avatar, or Ideal Customer Profile. And you’d be surprised how important knowing your ICA is.

When I started my website, I didn’t just think about the type of content I wanted to write. I also spent time putting together a mental picture of the kind of person who would enjoy and read my content.

This helped me fine tune my ideas and find the best way to deliver what my potential customers really wanted. And that’s what an ICA will do for your side hustle too. This is essential, fundamental stuff if your goal is to create a solid income stream with your side hustle.

That’s why in this newsletter, we’re unpacking how to create a solid ICA for your side hustle!

Developing a USP by analysing the competition

Don’t Blend In: How to Create a USP by Analyzing Your Competitors

Growing a side hustle means finding out how to provide value to people in a unique way, and to do that you need to understand what other businesses are doing right, and where they are failing.

A USP, or Unique Selling Proposition, is a marketing term used to describe the unique benefit or advantage a product or service has over its competitors. It is the thing that sets a product or service apart from others in the same category and is used to attract and retain customers.

A USP can be a specific feature, a quality, a price, a warranty, or anything else that sets the product or service apart from others in the market.

That’s why in this newsletter, we’ll unpack how to analyze your competition so that you can develop your own USP and take your side hustle to the next level!

How to create a content calendar

How to Create an Effective Content Calendar

Content creation is an excellent way (if not the ONLY way!) to build an audience for your side hustle.

But creating content randomly and only posting content when you feel like it won’t do you any good.

One of the key aspects of an effective content creation strategy is consistency, and to get that consistency you need to develop a content calendar.

Early on in my own content creation efforts, I noticed that just writing content on its own wasn’t giving me the results I wanted. Only after I started organizing my content and planning ahead, did I start to see the results I was looking for.

Inside this newsletter we’ll share with you how to build an effective content calendar for your side hustle!

Publishing Books: A Potential Passive Income Source

Publishing Books: A Potential Passive Income Source

Everyone has an idea that they would love to turn into a book, but maybe you feel like you don’t have what it takes to make it a reality.

And I don’t blame you, even I felt that way about starting my own website. Even after I achieved success with it, I was hesitant about becoming an author.

And yet knowing what I know now I can say that writing a book is not about your writing skills, it’s about your message. A good message can turn an idea into an excellent business opportunity.

This week, we’ll discuss the benefits of writing your own book, because quite frankly, everyone should do it!

Is YouTube the Right Platform for Your Side Hustle?

Is YouTube the Right Platform For Your Side Hustle?

YouTube is an interesting beast unlike any other, and a clear example of the kind of promise that the internet brought.

Here was a company that became an industry giant in a few years, and it gave other people the chance to become stars of their own.

These days, it seems like everyone has a YouTube channel, and there’s a channel for everything. Heck, I have one too!

But with so much content out there, is YouTube still a good platform for people looking to grow their side hustle? And more importantly, should you start a YouTube Channel of your own?

That’s what we’ll discuss in this newsletter!

Is blogging still a good side hustle in 2022?

Is blogging still a good side hustle?

If you are not familiar with my story, then you should know that blogging has always been a core component of how I became who I am today. The side hustle that I started in 2009 as a passion project has grown to become a massive beast.

But that was a long time ago. The state of blogging isn’t the same today as what it was back in that time. It’s even better.

If you are wondering whether blogs can still be a great side hustle, the answer is a resounding yes. Even if the blog environment is more competitive than ever, the blog industry has equally grown to be just as profitable.

And inside this newsletter, we share with you all the reasons why blogging is still a great side hustle.

How To Choose The Right Side Hustle For You

How to Choose the Right Side Hustle For You

Back in 2008, I needed a way to make money.

I was in between jobs at the time, which is just another way to say I didn’t have one. As I tried to figure out what I could do, I noticed that social media was growing at a dramatic rate, and that it gave you the power to publish whatever you wanted.

And that’s how my side hustle was born. I started my website back in 2009 with a $10 investment and a lot of passion, but it wouldn’t be until a year later that it would really take off. During that time, I worked really hard, even waking up in the middle of the night just to post.

What I’m trying to say is that while side hustles can be incredibly rewarding, they require a lot of effort. This makes it crucial that you know exactly what you are getting into when you choose a side hustle, and that you know how to choose the right one.

And that’s exactly what we’ll reveal inside this newsletter.
