How to turn your hobby into a side hustle: start with research
Before you invest money and time into developing your side hustle, do a little research.
Start with Google. Enter “sell my (whatever-you-want-to-sell LOCATION)” into the search query box, without quotes.
You’ll see how many people are operating locally.
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.
