Ever thought about running an eCommerce store as a potential side hustle?

If you’re like us, you’ve probably thought of online stores as labor and time intensive. Shopping on Amazon and eBay can give one that impression. All those professional-looking product pages!

But we couldn’t be more wrong.
Our research proved that starting an eCommerce store can be done in a week or even less if you follow the right process. You don’t need big capital, either. The perfect ingredients for a side hustle!

That’s why this week we’ll walk you through the best practices and tips for starting your own eCommerce business.

One of the key differences that I see between a regular side hustle and a successful one is branding.

A lot of people only see their hustle as a way to make money on the side, and don’t really pay a lot of attention to the details. But that’s what keeps these projects from growing into the powerhouses they could be.

Sure, a side hustle is only a way to make money at first, but you need to think beyond that. You need to build a brand.

When I first started this project, I quickly learned that the way I presented myself, and my product, was crucial to its success. It wasn’t just about showing people what I could do, but also who I was.

And in this newsletter, I’ll teach you how to build a brand of your own.

In the bustling bazaar of business, where every handshake and hello carries the weight of potential opportunities, there lies an art form often under-utilised: networking. Specifically, non-needy networking.

Instead of clamoring for connections like a shopper at a Black Friday sale, you stroll through the market with ease, genuinely interested in the stories behind each stall.

This, my friends, is the essence of non-needy networking, a strategy that transforms the often-dreaded task of building a professional network into an enriching journey of genuine connections.

But why does this matter, you ask?

In a world where “It’s not what you know, but who you know” frequently dictates the success of a side hustle, the quality of these connections becomes paramount.

Non-needy networking is the difference between a fleeting exchange of business cards and a meaningful conversation that plants the seed for a lasting relationship.

It’s the distinction between reaching out only when you need something—giving the interaction a transactional, somewhat desperate flavor—and engaging with others out of genuine interest and mutual respect.

As we dive deeper into the art of non-needy networking, we’ll explore how to cultivate these authentic connections and why they are not just beneficial but essential for the growth of your side hustle.

So, buckle up and prepare to learn how to network in a way that feels natural, rewarding, and—dare we say—fun!

Sharing a new product, a website, a blog post, or even just a Tweet can be daunting to start with. You’re putting your ideas out into the big bad world where someone might shut them down. Shatter your dreams.

For years, I kept my ideas inside. They bubbled away, and many disappeared. Because I was scared.

After decades of deliberation, I finally hit publish on a blog post. A Tweet. An email.

You know what? It wasn’t perfect. In fact, if I looked back on it now, I’d probably cringe. But it also wasn’t as frightening as I’d imagined.

People responded positively. They supported the new journey I was on and gave me energy and momentum to continue forward.

What’s stopping you from sharing your side hustle with the world?
If you’ve found reason after reason for NOT starting… for NOT taking a leap…

It’s time to leave those excuses at the door.

It’s time to SHARE.

To help you out, we’ve collated the best stats and insights from the world of social media. These are the trending tactics that are working right now.

The info inside this newsletter won’t form your entire social strategy, but it will give you a leg up on the competition.

If you have a niche website you’ve likely spent countless hours crafting amazing content.

You’ve got tips, advice, and stories that are simply begging to be shared. But what’s the use of creating all that content if nobody can find it? This is why keyword research is a vital ingredient for side hustle success.

Why you ask?

Imagine the internet as a massive library and keywords people to the books they’re looking for.

When someone searches for something on Google or any other search engine, they type in specific words or phrases – and if your website content is well-optimized with the right keywords, it’s like having a neon sign that says, “Hey, come check out this awesome stuff!”

And that, my friend, is how you drive organic traffic straight to your digital doorstep.

Keyword research isn’t just about finding random words that seem relevant. Nope, it’s like putting on your Sherlock Holmes hat and deducing what your audience is thinking.

When you dive into keyword research, you start understanding the very words your potential readers are typing when they’re hunting for information related to your niche.

By knowing what they’re searching for, you gain an incredible advantage – you can tailor your content to match their interests and needs like a custom-made suit.

Let’s say you’re running a niche website about plant care. You’d want to know if people are searching for “how to care for succulents indoors” more than “best fertilizers for indoor plants,” right?

With keyword research, you’ll not only discover these preferences but also figure out the language your audience speaks. Are they using casual terms or diving into scientific jargon? This little detective work ensures your content resonates on a personal level.

So, whether you’re nurturing a blog, starting an online store, or creating a platform for your unique expertise, keyword research is everything.

It guides you to high organic traffic and engaged visitors. With the right keywords in your arsenal, you’re not just getting clicks; you’re forming connections that can turn a casual browser into a loyal visitor.

While starting a side hustle is exciting, receiving feedback is a crucial step for its growth and success.

Good feedback can provide valuable insights, fresh perspectives, and actionable suggestions that can significantly enhance your side hustle.

By actively seeking feedback, you can uncover valuable insights that may have gone unnoticed, enabling you to enhance your creations.

While feedback is generally valuable and helpful, there are certain situations where it may not be as useful. Feedback that is vague, uninformed or delivered in a destructive manner can really hurt your ego and make it difficult to stay motivated.

That’s why in this week’s newsletter, we will explore the importance of feedback in improving your side hustle. You’ll learn when to take feedback on board, and when to simply ignore it and keep on keeping on! Let’s go!

If your dream is to turn your side hustle into a full-time hustle, in most cases you need to be publishing new content consistently.

Consistent content creation is important for building and maintaining a strong online presence, attracting and engaging your audience, establishing yourself as an authority, and ultimately driving sales for your budding business.

It can be super difficult to find the time and the motivation to put out fresh content each and every week. That’s why in this newsletter we want to share the secrets of consistent content creation: batching.

Content batching is a marketing strategy where you create a whole bunch of content at once by grouping similar tasks together. So, instead of writing one blog post at a time, you write a whole month’s worth in one sitting! How awesome is that?

And guess what? Content batching is not just efficient, it’s also tons of fun! You can turn up your favorite tunes, grab a cup of coffee, and settle in for a content creation marathon.

By dedicating a few hours a week to content creation, you can keep up with your side hustle marketing efforts and publish amazing content consistently.

So, in this week’s newsletter, we’re going to give you all the juicy details on content batching.
