I started my first ever side hustle in 2018 selling greeting cards. I then started to teach calligraphy workshops for a couple months until I quit my 9-5 government office job in 2019, and since then I've tried a whole bunch of business ideas being self-employed for 3.5 years!
(I know in the video I say I've done 9, but there's actually 10... I forgot to include my pet-sitting business haha 😂)
In this video, I share the 9 businesses I've tried and 6 businesses that my friends have tried. If you're looking for side business ideas or just advice on how to start a side hustle and you have no idea where to start, then keep watching!
Let me know if you have a business or if you're planning to start one! Do you have any questions? Leave a comment below ❤️️

Hi Dina! Thank you for this video. I have tried many side hustles as well over the past two years, including blogging and coaching, and have been feeling burnt out. All of my friends are in corporate 9-5s and I feel like I often get weird looks/judged for going this route, so I'm super glad you made this video and shared the info with us. Makes me feel less alone in this journey. Best of luck and I hope you achieve everything you want this year! :)

@DinaLu 10 ай бұрын

Hey Suzanne! You're welcome! Totally relate to the feeling of being burnt out (due to overworking but also working on businesses that don't align with my long-term goals). I'm in a pretty similar situation where the majority of my friends are in 9-5s. I used to feel a bit weird that I'm doing something different, but I just remind myself that this is what I want to do with my life and it doesn't matter what other people think. True friends will support you no matter what you pursue. Good luck on your business! :)

I love, love, love that you have done so many side hustles and I definitely agree with you about the shift of mindset thing. I am trying to be an entrepreneur myself and I have been trying many different things but there is unfortunately a lot gatekeeping. So, I would love to know more details about the side hustle processes, like where do we get started? I was inspired by one of your ideas, which was to start your own workshop/coaching, but then where do you host that idea? How do you draw people in? Do you make a social media page? Or is there an website where it's meant for those things? How do these people know to join your Zoom call and where do you collect your pay? So many questions, haha. I would also love to know more about your blogging process, as well! Like where do you blog, how many times a week, and how long it took for you to find your success (financially or audience), as well as any advice you could give. I think you have so much knowledge and I love the way you explain things without withholding any information. I'm looking forward to your continuing journey and I hope to learn as much as I can from you!

Honestly, i've been on a hunt to find a good business model that i can kick-off easily without having to put SO much money on it, but the ONE major thing that's been stopping me and it keeps dragging me back to point 0 is my location. Almost every easy business model is only open for US citizens, Australia, Canada..etc the BIG countries, i live in a country where i literally have no possibility to do anything and it sucks because i have enough money to try something online and the knowledge too, but where i live is just what's holding me back..

@DinaLu Whoever you are, I don't know you personally but I can say that you're one of the non-judgmental and open-minded people who is not fixated on tangible or external factors in order to learn from someone like me. Just because someone doesn't have a piece of paper as a credential, doesn't mean that person is not entitled to share personal experiences with the hope & intention to inspire others. Keep up with whatever it is that you're doing to improve mankind or improving your life even to a slight degree each day. This is just one part of a bigger puzzle for creating my KZfaq channel about holistic health. I literally could have died back when I was 14 years old due to major depression but here I am right now replying to you, a KZfaqr, who's full of fulfillment and dedication to help others to be a better version of themselves. I ain't better than anyone else but my old self. That's all that really makes this KZfaq thing more meaningful and enjoyable. Thanks so much for your support!

Hi Dina, I´m 16 years old and I´m planning to try side hustle so I could help my parents financially but I don´t know what to do. Do u have any suggestion for me?

Doordash its a pretty good option, at least in Georgia, you can get up to 150 in only 8 hours, working 1 hour daily on weekdays and a little bit more weekends at night, just by picking up food, driving and dropping it off

An etsy shop is a great side biz to start good luck!!! 💪 If you're selling a digital template, you can just upload a PDF that includes the link to the digital template

I was wondering, sorry if this is a weird question but why do many youtubers choose to not link their etsy shop? I would love to see your shop and purchase cards.

@DinaLu Жыл бұрын

So that it doesn't mess up the Etsy algorithm, and so that people don't create products in the same niche! I actually don't sell my greeting cards on my Etsy shop. But if you'd like to buy some, you can DM me on instagram dinadlu

@Dina Lu oh ok makes sense. I can see how people would want to copy the idea, especially after talking in a video about how you were successful with it. Thanks for the answer :)

I have something I would like to do myself. I want to make a channel on basic cooking skills and chores for the lazy significant other. I don't want to give away the entirety of the plan, but I think it has real potential. For example, I can cook a healthy breakfast in less than 90 seconds, no joke. Problem is that we live below our means to try and get ahead so our apartment is not nice to say the very least. Any ideas how I can work around the very ugly elephant in the room? I know my content will not be top tier in the beginning due to lack of experience, but not trying is the easiest way to fail.

@DinaLu Жыл бұрын

I think you shouldn't let your apartment looks stop you from starting the channel 😊 at the beginning, I thought that my room was messy/ugly, and not as nice as the other youtubers. If you're starting a cooking channel, the only criteria is that you need a kitchen, not a beautiful kitchen. Also, it actually might be good if your kitchen doesn't look super duper beautiful because people can relate to you more.

Printing journals sound fascinating but I lack the upfront funds. I've considered jewelry and candle making too. I'm actually trying the jewelry but getting supplies is difficult. I considered youtube channel but I have low-self esteem, concerning my voice especially. It's also a noise driven household of 8 people.

@DinaLu 9 ай бұрын

Mmm I'm glad you've considered several options. I hope you find one that works well for you! For the youtube videos, if it's too loud you can always record outside in a park or borrow a room in the library!

Hi Dina, thank you for your video! It was very informative. I had a small construction company for the past 3 years, and I've done everything alone, and I find it almost impossible to find reliable employees so I'm trying to work from home now. I'm tired of doing the work of 3 people, so I have been doing woodworking in my garage and selling them on marketplace. It's going ok but my weak point is that I do not how to promote or advertise. I feel as of I did know how to advertise I would be rolling in the dough, because my products I make are very nice and affordable. I don't care what I do to be honest. I just don't want to work for someone anymore. I will work harder by myself and potentially make more money. Any suggestions??

@DinaLu 11 ай бұрын

I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Hmmm, I think it really depends on what you're selling (for example, when I hear of woodworking I think of furniture, but you could also be making small signs for small businesses or something) so I think your advertising/marketing strategy would depend on what exactly you're making / who you are targeting. What I would suggest for selling to individuals vs businesses would be very different. What kind of woodworking are you doing?

@Chrissyboy82 10 ай бұрын

@@DinaLu Hey Dina! Thanks for your response. The woodworking I've been doing is custom slat wood planter boxes, slat wood planter box benches, picture frames, cutting boards, cooler boxes, etc. Everyone loves my stuff but I'd like to do more than just "pay the bills" if you know what I mean. So far I've only sold on Marketplace and to a few Facebook friends, but I feel if I had an idea how to actually get my products out to the public better I would be doing quite well, as my products are very nice. I watched a KZfaq video where the woodworker said to focus more on making smaller items that sell in larger quantities, which I could also easily do but I have no idea how to get my name out there. I seen you just posted an Etsy shop video which also seems like a cool side gig. I have a Cricut maker and make all my own shirts, crafts, etc. I'm going to check that out because I really enjoy the way you explain things in your videos. Thanks for everything Dina, you're going to do very well in life!

@@Chrissyboy82 I think there's a lot of opportunity for you here with the woodworking, with the actual woodworking itself for customers in your area since you do a lot, but also stuff online like starting a youtube channel (obviously more long term) or yes as you said, Etsy. The more you make projects, I'm sure the more customers you'll get with word of mouth. So many ways to do marketing, like word of mouth, fb marketplace, social media, going to different kinds of events (gardening events?). Good luck!!!🙌
