Exploring Interests That Can Translate into a Viable Side Hustle
Market Research
Once you've identified your skills and interests, the next step is to conduct market research to see if there's a demand for what you want to offer. Look for gaps in the market that your side hustle could fill. Use online forums, social media, and keyword research tools to gauge interest in your niche.
Test Your Idea
Before fully committing to your side hustle, consider running a small-scale test. For example, if you're interested in starting a freelance writing business, try securing a few gigs on freelance platforms. This approach allows you to validate your idea with minimal risk.
