How To Turn Your Side Hustle Into A Business!
MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER WITH THE SOLUTIONS YOU NEED DELIVERED!
Q: How do I shift my side hustle into a real business? Annie J. Vancouver, BC Canada
We love this question because using your side hustle to create your own businesses is a great first step to success. Let’s start by looking at what you have going for you. You already have a growing customer base. So much so in fact, that for you to grow it further you may need additional help to keep things up and growing. We would suggest that you take a tip from several of the biggest brands in the world who all started out as home based businesses developed from side projects and that is they got a little help from their friends. If you don’t have a friend that is qualified to meet your specific need we would suggest perhaps posting a part-time job opening at your local university. You are going to need the extra help to get you through this next phase.
The First Step In Turning Your Side Hustle Into A Viable Business Is To
Think Of It… As A Business.
That means you will need regular business hours, a dedicated space to work and set up an office as well as a place to do business online. That could be a website, landing pages, or an online store like Shopify or Amazon. You probably will also need a business license, bank account, payment system, phone number and PO Box. Most of these expenses are also tax deductible if you are reading this in the USA. That means you will need to track your income and expenses with some bookkeeping software. This may all sound a little overwhelming right now, but please remember this is a process that you take one step at a time.
Turn Your Side Hustle Into A Business With A Business Plan.
To help you get started we have created a Business Plan you can download right now to help you stay on track and successfully build your business. Get yours here! You are going to need to write out a business plan for your company. This is literally your pathway to success. The process of creating your Business Plan is where you avoid costly mistakes, see potential opportunities to build your customer base, innovate, and design solutions to your customers’ most urgent needs which in turn, helps you generate more income.
Turn Your Side Hustle Into A Business By Building Your Brand
One of the best ways to build your brand in any market is by creating strong relationships with your customers. Your customers are looking for three things from you.
- They want to feel safe doing business with you
- They want to feel valued by you
- They want to feel empowered by you, your products and services
The last and perhaps most powerful way to build your brand and your customer base is your “Why”. Your “why” is what you believe in as a business. It’s why you do what you do and the way you do it.
As an example, we are big believers in independence and freedom of choice. As a result, we created Business Genesis to empower you to start and grow your own successful business doing what you love.
