Daily Hack - 3 Steps to Launching a Side Hustle

Maybe you want to take your marketing skills to the market. Maybe you want a little extra income every month. Maybe you want to test the idea of starting your own business.

Whatever the reason, starting a side hustle can be extremely rewarding (and lucrative). 

One platform that's particularly well-suited to side hustles is Fiverr.com. Fiverr is a marketplace where freelancers can offer their services to people looking to outsource tasks. 

Fortunately, you can get started in just 3 simple steps…

Step 1: Identify Your Skills - The first step is identifying your skills. What are you good at? What services can you offer that others might be willing to pay for? Remember, you don’t need to be an “expert” to get started!

Some popular side hustles include…

• Virtual Assistants

• Freelance Writers

• Graphic Designers

• Social Media Managers

• Consulting & Coaching

Step 2: Create Your Gigs - Once you've identified your skills and what services you're going to offer, it's time to create your Fiverr account and create your gigs. 

A gig is simply a listing for a specific service you're offering. On Fiverr, you can create multiple gigs, so you can offer different services or packages. As you create your gigs, be sure to include all the relevant details, like what your work includes, how long it will take, and the price. 

Step 3: Promote Your Gigs - Now that your gigs are set up, it's time to start promoting them. 

You can do this by sharing your gigs on social media, using Fiverr's own promotion tools, or by reaching out to people who might be interested in your services.

Work on getting that first gig and make sure to OVER-DELIVER. If you have a satisfied customer, they can leave you positive reviews or even become a case study for future projects!
