Those of you who have side hustles.

What is it?
Do you / How do you market it?


Mainly it's been word of mouth for me and that's been fine for the past, but it is time to be a little more proactive.

So what has worked for you to grow yours?
What hasn't worked?

Facebook Adverts?
 
Advert in church boekies and kalenders
Plastic case of business cards at the local small business such as the pharmacy
 
Is tiktok your side hustle, or are you saying that you use it for marketing?

Please elaborate.
For marketing.
Depending what product/service you have, but you can market just about anything there.
I don't market anything there but I know someone that went from selling 5-10k worth of products a month on FB market place to over a Mil in a year on TikTok just by making "stupid" videos advertising his product.

On a side note, what is your side hustle ?

Do you sell or provide a service ?

Probably too many things. But the one I am looking to grow is web design / hosting. I have a handful of clients already, and once it is up and running it is pretty passive income. Which is great.

Yeap, you got the client base then you’ll be ok, as for advertising it, market is saturated with web design / hosting.

Who are you targeting ? Piet van Tonder or Makro corporations ?
 
Defiantly the smaller guy. That's where the word of mouth played a roll before.

Advertising is always a gamble, best form of advertising is always word of mouth + good service.

If you did try Google or TikTak then it might overshoot what type of clients you are looking for, or a total waste of money.

Join community groups on Vleisbook and WhatsApp groups are totally the place to advertise now.

Be proactive as well, you see SME businesses popping up everywhere, get in there before they decide to go looking.
