Ep. 129 - How to Find Your Side Hustle Niche
Manage episode 415072110 series 3010825
Times are tough. I talked with a recruiter friend the other day and there are >40 people in my field in our local job market that he knows that are looking for work. And those are just the ones that he knows.
Build something for yourself. It’s basic prepping. Build your side hustle. Multiple streams of income.
In this episode I will share tips on how to discover and develop your side hustle niche.
How to find your side hustle niche
Let's talk about YOUR side hustle.
Are you having difficulty finding your side hustle niche?
- What are you good at?
- You know stuff. You may not think it is much, but there is someone out there who will pay (or pay attention) for that knowledge.
Remember - Guys on YouTube are getting hundreds of views from sharpening knives or using a scythe. This week I saw a post on permies where a guy took a scythe blade that was mangled by a lawn mower and he fixed it. All are skills that can be taught or sold as a side hustle, or as sales of knives and scythes.
Grant Payne takes pruned and trimmed pieces of plants and rejects from the big box store and grows them out into full plants and sells them.
Anything like that can drive into a side hustle.
Even better - you can tell someone how to do a skill step by step and they will often PAY YOU to do it for them.
Try it. Talk about your skill in your community. Offer to show someone how you do it. Make a proof of concept web page, YouTube page, or use FB Marketplace. Sell your service or your product/what you make. Or sell your knowledge and skill.
Use Flippa as a Side Hustle Idea Generator
Get on Flippa. Check out the current listings. But, even more importantly, check out the listings that have recently sold.
The prepper site BunkerBasics.com sold not long ago for $1,100.
You could buy a website like this, build one similar, or use it as an idea for a niche.
This is my usual process and checklist for evaluating a website:
- Is the site within my niche or in an adjacent niche?
- Is the site in my price range? Most that I have bought are starter sites that are $100-200.
- They must be created in Wordpress.
- Do I have a vision for them:
- Do I buy the site, build the audience, and then generate affiliate income?
- Will I resell the site?
- Do I think that I can make the site better?
I usually brainstorm 10-15 article topics that I would write for each site as a proof of concept to support my decision.
