On a regular basis, my brother-in-law and I come up with ideas to generate income outside of our regular jobs. The Frugal Dad gave our potential activities a name:
"A side hustle is a sort of part time job, but it typically involves you building something around your current trade."
OK, so what is my business? What is it that I know about, am interested in, have a unique contribution?
General Ideas
- archives
- preservation
- organization
- technology
- motherhood
- gluten free eating
- beginning investor
- travel in area with kids
More Specific Ideas
- Consult with local businesses/individuals on preserving archives
- Offer a service like This Young House with advice on preservation
- Become a personal organizer
- Work with churches to improve their websites/start new outreach like blogs/facebook/etc.
- Blog about journey as a beginning investor
- Develop a blog/site about places to visit in the area with kids. I actually think this idea has some merit. As far as I can tell there is not a consolidated site that has descriptions and reviews of places of interest--especially from a mother's point of view. On the weekends, we say, "ok where should we go?" It is a real pain to visit all of the web sites of potential places, and it is difficult to find out relevant information or even come up with ideas. I would love to have reader-submitted reviews as well as my own. It could be tied to Flickr, Google Maps and all kinds of exciting things. Not sure about the income-generating part though???
