I think it really depends on the niche for your business/side hustle. If you are overwhelmed or have a good idea but are having trouble making it profitable or need help learning about the business aspect of things, I think working with a coach/mentor or outsourcing could be great.

However, like you said, there are plenty of free services out there and I would recommend checking those out first. My alma mater has a free mentoring program that I utilized right after I graduated college. I definitely agree that you should keep expenses low when you’re starting out and make sure you’re not overspending on anything unnecessary, but sometimes it does costs money to make money.

Glad to hear that! It used to be hard for me to consider outsourcing but now I love it.

Well said, we often don’t think about scalability at the beginning and that should change.

I’m glad to hear you enjoy writing and blogging. Having multiple side hustle can be very time consuming especially if you wish to turn one of those side hustles into a full-time business so I hope these tips help!

Outsourcing can be great when done correctly. Like you said, you mainly need to make sure you’re earning enough to pay someone and getting a ton of value out of their work to justify the action.

Yes, those two can definitely go hand in hand. Thanks for reading!

There are plenty of free services offered by universities that will guide you. I’m part of KSU’s LaunchNET and Case Western Reserve University’s IP Venture Clinic. I have guidance from business professionals AND legal representatives 100% free.
