here are some side hustles

for those of you who can cook start a meal prep service for busy people/gym goers

You can diversify this in multiple ways.....you can target vegans, paleo diet fanatics. You can target older folks who would like their meals prepared etc.

Grocery shopping service

Wardrobe consultant

Prescription medication courier

I have access to some information on a business course for freelancers that I could put up for those interested.

I've been hearing commercials on the radio for an app called TAKL. It's apparently supposed to be like Uber except for everyday tasks. You can sign up to do anything on it. They have everything from home cleaning to computer services to sports lessons, etc.

I signed up and I'll see how good this thing is when it launches here in Atlanta next month.

People dont know but public institutions have budgets for all types of vendors, especially minority vendors. My friend lives in KC and sells candles, and plug-in incense to hospitals. She has contracts with Research, Truman, and KU Med. Go on city websites and look for bids.

Garden of Flavor has brand ambassador opportunities. My sister does this since she cant work anymore (cancer) and makes 2300/mo for weekends and Monday and Friday evening. I think its about 20-24 hr/week 16 from doing 2 locations/dy on the weekends. The pay is 25/hr and its contract work so no taxes taken out.

I make an extra $450 a week evaluating ads and landing pages for Google through an agency called Zerochaos

send your resume to tempjobs@zerochaos.com and put "Ad Quality Rater" in the title... if they have any openings then a recruiter will hit you back

Will take a look at this..


Also if any of you are sick with powerpoint/excel/word....you can be a PROFESSIONAL PRESENTATION FORMATTER..

people will pay you to make sure their presentations look great. People want presentations to look good to 1)impress their boss 2)look professional for when they make presentations at company meetings 3) when they have to pitch clients and investors.

Virtual Assistant: Be an executive/personal assistant remotely. THIS IS GOING TO BE AN ENORMOUS FIELD IN THE FUTURE


Will be back with some more.

Check out the Entrepreneur classes on Udemy. Mainly Tony Gaskins & Seth Godin. Others have good info also...

A few personal tips:

- Learn from people who are successful at what you would like to do
(avoid people who preach what theoretically "should" work.)
- Learn what your consumer base values (don't assume you know)
- Network
-Seek mentors, even if you have to pay them for their time
- Constantly seek knowledge (Books, Audio Books,Podcasts, Online Courses, Listening to Conversations)
- Don't sell "features" of your product or service. Inform the customers about how what you have will benefit them. WIIFM (Whats in it for me?)

I'll add more later...
