The Side Hustle Show
Marketing can feel like shouting into the void, especially when you’re just getting started with your side hustle.
To find out what’s actually working today across a wide range of industries, I’ve crowdsourced some wisdom from Side Hustle Show listeners.
One common theme from the past couple years is the strategy of using social media content to try and hit the algorithm on your platform of choice, and then get those viewers or readers to follow you or to join your email list.
I asked listeners to share a marketing tactic that’s working well for them right now, and I got back a ton of great responses.
Here are 17 of the best marketing tips that were submitted, many of which you can apply to your business today.
