If you want some help/recommendations, I run a Social Media Management business - I would happily give you advice on where you should start.
Running a side social media management business on my own. Pretty much no overhead costs except my website and canva... I'll do monthly add ons for special projects like SEO and website designs... but yearly my overhead is like... $300? I'm making about $1200/month consistently and have had a few months of $2700+/month. I'm also working full time while doing this - so overall I'm happy with this on such a small scale but hoping to scale up slowly.
Created a nerdy blog website... got it profitable... hit was making like $1 or less an hour. Sold it for $1000.
Then started woodworking... small projects. Paid all my tools off (probably ~1500) .
From there I bought a CNC machine and did cnc woodworking... probably made over 10k profit (paid off machine and more) but still hourly rate was pretty low.
Started social media management business. Been doing this for about a year now - making anywhere between $1000-2200/month. Hourly rate is quite good. Looking to slowly scale it more and take on more clients.
About $1000/month. It's only a side business but I am slowly starting to scale things up.
How have you been marketing yourself? Do you have a website? Social media? Handing out panflets? Start a cleaning blog to gather emails for email marketing?
