How Can You Test a Side Hustle Idea?
So, you have an idea for a side hustle and you can’t wait to go ahead and make it happen. But before you do, pause for a moment and read this article.
I was like you. I had what I thought was a great side hustle idea. Nothing was going to stop me. I was full of enthusiasm. So I went ahead and spent money to make my side hustle idea a reality.
It bombed. Big time. I lost the money I’d invested. Every last cent.
Only afterward did I realize I should have tested my idea before committing myself and my money.
Here are some of the things I could have done. Or should have done.
Take a look around
No matter what you think, there is very little out there that is totally new.
Someone, somewhere may be doing a version of your side hustle idea so take a look around and see what you can find. Then look for ways to improve it.
If someone is doing something similar then that is probably a good sign and may suggest that your side hustle idea will work.
Ask friends and family for their opinion
Another way to test your idea is to ask friends and family for their feedback.
