I'm still in vacation mode so I decided to strike up some fun BBWO Conversation. My question to you: What's your side hustle and why? When I first started searching for new ways to make extra money, I started designing websites on the side because I was doing it for myself and people liked my designs. I still design websites, but not as much as I used to. These days I publish ebooks and marketing videos more than anything else, but I still enjoy tapping into new profit streams. I recently started to promote my favorite web host and that seems to be going well as far as bringing in new revenue. I see that alot on women of BBWO are promoting a new product that helps you loose weight or look thinner without dieting. You heard about that one? Does it work? Just curious.... Well I shared my side hustle story. Now it's your turn. Who knows, we just might find new ventures to join. - LaShanda p.s. I just wrote a new eBook in which I share my startup secrets. It's called 'The Easiest Way to Make Your first $1000 Online' and I wrote it for interent entrepreneurs in startup mode. If you want it, here is a coupon code for being apart of BBWO: 5OFF. Anyhoo, leave a comment and share your story. I am looking forward to hearing it!

  • Hello everyone,

     

    My side hustle is La Bella Baskets, and I love it because we help single moms in need through our Basket of Hope Program.

    Every month we give a single mom who is struggling a beautiful gift basket with a lovely poem attached.

     

     

    We also offer others the opportunity to become their own boss by becoming a La Bella Baskets Consultant a a very reasonable price too. And I love the beautiful gift baskets ( we have over 400 for any occasion)  that we offer to our customers at a very affordable price.

  • My hustle is writing and I am so glad about getting my first book published. I talk a lot about if you were raped, could you ever forgive that person. That person has asked god forgiveness, he change the way of life by doing right. I have gotten a lot of views from my other sites and I like to write things that have a person thinking.
  • Love this topic! My dad always had a side hustle when I was growing up.  He sold everything from jewelry to vitamins, beenie babies, baseball cards, stamps, toys, etc. I followed in his footsteps of course and my side hustle is helping people save money by showing them how to save 25%-40% on their purchases and get 50% cash back on their gas purchases!  In this tough economy we need all the help we can get!

  • Hello LaShanda, first thanks again for allowing me to be apart of such an awesome network.  Well, I don't really call it a side hustle now, because it is now my full time job.  I must say it started out as a hobby.  Every since i was a little girl, i've always like doing craft.  I used to sew with my grandmother and make quilts, baby doll clothes and pillows.  You name it, I was trying it.  But the one thing that stood out with me was making gift baskets.  I've always enjoy putting a smile on other people's faces.  Well in 2009, I began searching youtube for some more great gift ideas and there it was; all this fuss and talk about a diaper cake and in my mind I'm saying, what the heck is a diaper cake.  So i started looking at video tutorials on how to make one and what does it consist of.  I became so infatuated with the ideal of a diaper cake which by the way look very edible if its made correctly.  So me being the person that I am. I tried it and made one but it was the rolled style. I don't care for those kinds. I prefer the boutique style.  I was working an 8-5 job, and the whole entire time that i would be at work, all i could think about was what am i'm going to design next, what cute baby items am i going to add to my diaper cakes.  So, my urges became bigger than me, i would fall asleep in front of my computer looking at diaper cakes and other great ideas knowing i gotta go to work.  And with childcare kicking our buts, I had to make a decision, either keep working to pay childcare, or come home and be with my beautiful babies (4 and 2 yr old).  you guessed it right, I left my corporate job and took a leap of faith to start my own company and thats how Baby Diaper Cakes and Beyond by LaTersa was born.    I love being apart of a network full of like minded women and entreprenurs.

  • I haven't checked out what the specific weight loss product is; but from a personal point of view one product that i use for weight loss is green tea and have been for the past few years; i take it every morning, and i actually noticed my weight hasn't been out of control, some of these products just suppress your hunger so in the end you don't eat as much anymore; which means you naturally go on a diet; and as for me my taste for certain junk foods even disappeared. Green tea suppresses my hunger and its benefits are even greater than just losing weight, but i also noticed that i dont get sick easily, like getting the flu and im always feeling cleansed; it also speeds up my metabolism and so on and so on. But again any good weight loss regime works even much much better with eating the right foods and regular exercise.
    You can check out Tava Tea and other weight loss products and tips by following this link.

    So that's my "side hustle" promoting Tava Tea; thought of green tea and other weight loss products because its something i personally use and see it working for me
  • Hi! My name is Tae,
    My side hustle is an internet network marketing business. My primary source of income is from my residential cleaning business. I've been cleaning for about five years now and one of the many lessons that I've learned is YOU MUST HAVE A CUSHION TO FALL BACK ON IN TOUGH TIMES...which is why I got involved with TBA ( The Bold Approach)

    TBA is a very simple network marketing biz. There is No Selling,No Buying, No Delivering Products, parties, or weekly meeting to attend. Being a small business owner and a single mother of three I needed something simple that would bring in some extra income and didn't take up all my time. Did I mention it only cost me $25 to get started! I love it and would recommend this business to anyone looking for a simple side hustle. If you'd like to know more visit my Facebook page www.facebook.com/taebell or email me @ Nubiq1@yahoo.com.

    Making money made simple! That's my side hustle! :)

    HAVE A BLESSED AND PROSPEROUS DAY!
