8 ways to boost your side hustle success.
Published over 1 year ago • 4 min read
Hey Reader,
I'm going to get right in to it. If you've got a side hustle and you're looking to grow it, or even just make it more enjoyable and efficient, here are 8 things you can do today (or this week/month) to give it a boost.
Define Your Goals: Get clear on what success looks like for your hustle. Is it extra cash or building a full-time business? Or maybe just a creative outlet!
Prioritize Tasks: Not everything needs your attention right now. Focus on what will bring the most impact—whether it's building an audience, making sales, or creating more content. fight that shiny object syndrome!
Tap Into Your Network: Your friends, family, and colleagues may be a goldmine of support and/or referrals. Don’t be shy about asking for help or connections.
Learn From Someone Who's Done it Before: One of the best things you can do is connect with someone who’s already done what you’re aiming for. Consider hiring a coach, finding mentor, or joining a mastermind.
Learn as You Go: Successful entrepreneurs assume they never know what they need to know. They are always learning, even about the things they are very good at. Dive into free courses, webinars, or podcasts. There's always more to know about marketing, sales, or even time management.
Automate & Outsource: There are tasks you don’t need to do yourself. Automate repetitive work with tools, or hire freelancers to free up your time for more important things.
Test & Pivot: Experiment with different strategies and don’t be afraid to change course. Side hustles grow when you adapt to what works and drop what doesn’t.
Take Care of Yourself: This may be the most important thing on this list. You need to find the harmony between your full-time job, side hustle, and personal life by setting boundaries and scheduling breaks.
This thing you're trying to do, it takes time. It takes effort. It is not easy. Thinking through, and reminding yourself about, these things can help.

💡CONTENT CREATION IDEA
USE GOOGLE FOR CONTENT IDEAS
If you're trying to brainstorm topics to create content around, a simple strategy is to just do a few Google searches. As you type in a query you believe your target audience might type in, Google will suggest topics/searches for you to use. These are likely the other things people searched for, making them good things to create content around.
A bonus with this method of looking for ideas is to scroll down to the "People also ask" section for additional ways people are searching for related topics.
Taking it one step further, when you click on any of the "People also ask" results, it generates additional searches.
These related search suggestions are SEO-friendly and will be highly relevant to the original topic you had in mind.

Hey Reader, I recently went on a tangent in a comment I made on someone’s post. This was inside one of the masterminds I lead inside the EDUpreneur Community. This person, who is an extremely talented and driven EDUpreneur, shared that they wanted to take some time off on a specific day, but were worried that allowing themselves to relax a little could lead to essentially just being a bum all day. They noted that that is a downfall of high achievers, indicating that they would NOT be giving...
Hey Reader, Marketing is getting quieter. We're already in the shift, but it's going to continue shifting away from "hype" and pressure-selling and persuading people to buy. Whether sales gurus like it or not, it's happening. People are tired. We're ALL tired. Your potential customers, specifically, are tired of countdown timers, "last chance" emails that come every week, and feeling forced into purchasing decisions before they're fully ready to buy. People don't want to be tricked, duper,...
Hey Reader, Here’s something interesting I came across recently:People value things more the moment they feel like they own them. This isn’t just marketing fluff. It’s a psychology principle (it’s called the “Endowment Effect”) that can actually help you make your offers and lead magnets feel more valuable, even before someone pays for them. Here’s what it means for your business: If your audience feels your free resource is already theirs, they’ll treat it differently. If your paid offer...
