Hi all,
New here and looking to start a side-hustle. I’m thinking of getting into either copywriting, or web-dev, maybe even helping businesses with marketing plans, but would appreciate some opinions if possible.
I work for a small, local business, and have been asked to help out with the company’s business development, so I’m looking at building skills that will benefit both me and my employer.
I have a half-decent understanding of marketing in general, and have written a marketing plan for my work. My knowledge is mostly on a macro level, and I don’t have much experience getting my hands dirty with implementing tactics yet.
I write fairly well, and have done small amounts of copywriting - I wrote the copy for the web page and some cold emails. These were nothing amazing but I feel like it's something I could get into.
I have also begun dabbling in building websites in Wordpress recently. I’m a total beginner and don’t know any coding, but I’ve created a basic new website for one of the niches we serve, and I’m also putting together a site for a family member. I enjoyed doing this more than I thought I would.
I will be needing to pick up the basics of seo and ppc soon as well. My aim is to become a t-shaped marketer, with a basic knowledge of a handful of subjects and one specialisation, but I’m not sure what that specialisation will be yet. This will help me in my current job, and also my future goals.
When it comes to picking a side hustle, I’m not sure what to go for.
My main question is this, is it best to just pick one and focus solely on that, or would it be beneficial to have a couple on the go, and then decide on one to focus on after a bit of experience? For example try to pick up some copywriting gigs, and maybe do some web-design or something as well if I can learn how and get the work, then focus on one after seeing what suits me best, or am I just biting off more than I chew that way? If the former is the better route, any tips on deciding? Not sure where best to put my time and focus. TBH I don’t want to make a big deal out of deciding, better just to start something because I could always switch later I guess, but I would prefer to not waste time and be on track from the start.
I appreciate any advice, and good to meet you.
