How to Turn Your Side Hustle into Real Profit

Side hustles are becoming the new hustle, hustle. With so many opportunities to grow your personal wealth, it is no surprise that more moms are committed to growing their side hustle than ever before.  

START!

Most of the moms we work with are somewhere between a killer full-time gig and building their side hustle. They are already thinking of ways to balance the jobs they love with their family life. 

There are a number of different ways you can invest in a side hustle. MLMs (think: Beachbody, JuicePlus Arbonne, Senegence, etc.) are always looking to grow and get more women on board to sell their products. If you are not interested in marketing products or "growing a team" to generate more income, take time to identify what you are most passionate about. Any service you can provide to others can be considered a side hustle. From Photography to coaching, to meal prep or even calligraphy.

All can be profitable if you:

1) Know your Niche and ideal clients

2) Have done your research (on the market and competitors) 

3) You are willing to put the work in to grow your business

If you have been considering investing in a side hustle or have one that you are really excited about but have been avoiding taking that next step, now is the time. There are so many opportunities out there to sharing your expertise that will help so many others. 

If you need help identifying your unique expertise or starting with your side hustle, we can help!

Educate Yourself: 

Now, I don't mean to go back and get that next degree you wanted and getting into more debt. Educating yourself can be simply staying informed, paying a bit more attention to trends and fluctuations in the market, or simply taking on a new educational venture. 

Online courses like the ones we offer here at Working Moms Co offer a relatively inexpensive means to stay ahead, build professional skills and maintain personal balance in your life. Depending on the course structure, you could grow your skills and knowledge in your spare time, without hindering your work & mom life balance.

Having additional professional skills like empathetic selling or real-world marketing techniques for the digital age, will not only help you connect with others during a downturn but also set you up for success should you need to rely on another stream of income or a new job. 

Monetize and grow your Social Media Following:

I know what you are thinking...

Wait, What? 

Monetizing Social Media...Sheena, that's crazy. 

But, trust me, it's not.

Did you know that the usage and influx of social media in the last decade has literally changed how we communicate, sell and buy services and products?

Think about it:

How many times do you check Instagram or Facebook a day? week? month? 

Social Media has changed the game for recession proofing. There is more information readily available, more people who offer services that others need and want, and more opportunities to share your unique brilliance than ever before...to the audience that actually wants to hear it. 

If you have considered having multiple streams of income, I strongly suggest that you educate yourself on how to grow and monetize your social media. Now is the time to start growing connections with real people who will benefit from your product or service, through a recession. 

So, how do you do this? 

I mentioned above educating yourself. 

Take the time to invest in understanding exactly how to use Instagram as a sales tool.

One of the best courses out there on the exact topic is Instagram Growth Accelerator (IGA).

IGA is changing the game for not only monetizing and growing Instagram accounts but, really connecting with people who would not only greatly benefit from your product or services, but are willing and able to actually pay! 

Not only is IGA amazing, but it has been created by serial entrepreneur and BossBabe CEO, Natalie Ellis. She definitely knows her sh*t! 

Ask for the business:

The final thing to do if you want to grow your side business is to simply ask for the business. It may seem really silly or maybe you are not "salesy"... 

A lot of what stops businesses from growing is the fear of asking for the sale! If you are afraid of selling...

I have news for you...

YOU DONT HAVE TO "SELL" TO MAKE SALES!

read that again

You don't have to hard-sell or be pushy to make real, amazing and legitimate sales + grow your group of raving fans. You simply need to ask for the business...

The only want to make money is to provide tremendous amounts of value (aka believe in your product or service) and actually ask for people to buy.  It is really simple and will generate way more revenue. 

Sound too easy to be true? Join the waitlist for the: Sales for Those Who Aren't "Salespeople" Course below.
