Patty’s tip: start your side hustle with local sales
If you’re like Patty and want to sell home-sewn items like clutches and purses, enter that into Google, or Facebook, with your location. Although you can sell globally, try selling your items locally first.
Why start by selling locally? Because you can get feedback on what works, instantly.
