Hi Dina! Thank you for this video. I have tried many side hustles as well over the past two years, including blogging and coaching, and have been feeling burnt out. All of my friends are in corporate 9-5s and I feel like I often get weird looks/judged for going this route, so I'm super glad you made this video and shared the info with us. Makes me feel less alone in this journey. Best of luck and I hope you achieve everything you want this year! :)
@DinaLu Жыл бұрын
Hey Suzanne! You're welcome! Totally relate to the feeling of being burnt out (due to overworking but also working on businesses that don't align with my long-term goals). I'm in a pretty similar situation where the majority of my friends are in 9-5s. I used to feel a bit weird that I'm doing something different, but I just remind myself that this is what I want to do with my life and it doesn't matter what other people think. True friends will support you no matter what you pursue. Good luck on your business! :)

I love, love, love that you have done so many side hustles and I definitely agree with you about the shift of mindset thing. I am trying to be an entrepreneur myself and I have been trying many different things but there is unfortunately a lot gatekeeping. So, I would love to know more details about the side hustle processes, like where do we get started? I was inspired by one of your ideas, which was to start your own workshop/coaching, but then where do you host that idea? How do you draw people in? Do you make a social media page? Or is there an website where it's meant for those things? How do these people know to join your Zoom call and where do you collect your pay? So many questions, haha. I would also love to know more about your blogging process, as well! Like where do you blog, how many times a week, and how long it took for you to find your success (financially or audience), as well as any advice you could give. I think you have so much knowledge and I love the way you explain things without withholding any information. I'm looking forward to your continuing journey and I hope to learn as much as I can from you!

@DinaLu Whoever you are, I don't know you personally but I can say that you're one of the non-judgmental and open-minded people who is not fixated on tangible or external factors in order to learn from someone like me. Just because someone doesn't have a piece of paper as a credential, doesn't mean that person is not entitled to share personal experiences with the hope & intention to inspire others. Keep up with whatever it is that you're doing to improve mankind or improving your life even to a slight degree each day. This is just one part of a bigger puzzle for creating my KZbin channel about holistic health. I literally could have died back when I was 14 years old due to major depression but here I am right now replying to you, a KZbinr, who's full of fulfillment and dedication to help others to be a better version of themselves. I ain't better than anyone else but my old self. That's all that really makes this KZbin thing more meaningful and enjoyable. Thanks so much for your support! I am hoping that you can join me with this endless personal development journey! :)

Almost every easy business model is only open for US citizens, Australia, Canada..etc the BIG countries, i live in a country where i literally have no possibility to do anything and it sucks because i have enough money to try something online and the knowledge too, but where i live is just what's holding me back..

Hi Dina, thank you for your video! It was very informative. I had a small construction company for the past 3 years, and I've done everything alone, and I find it almost impossible to find reliable employees so I'm trying to work from home now. I'm tired of doing the work of 3 people, so I have been doing woodworking in my garage and selling them on marketplace. It's going ok but my weak point is that I do not how to promote or advertise. I feel as of I did know how to advertise I would be rolling in the dough, because my products I make are very nice and affordable. I don't care what I do to be honest. I just don't want to work for someone anymore. I will work harder by myself and potentially make more money. Any suggestions??
@DinaLu Жыл бұрын
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Hmmm, I think it really depends on what you're selling (for example, when I hear of woodworking I think of furniture, but you could also be making small signs for small businesses or something) so I think your advertising/marketing strategy would depend on what exactly you're making / who you are targeting. What I would suggest for selling to individuals vs businesses would be very different. What kind of woodworking are you doing?
@Chrissyboy82 Жыл бұрын
@@DinaLu Hey Dina! Thanks for your response. The woodworking I've been doing is custom slat wood planter boxes, slat wood planter box benches, picture frames, cutting boards, cooler boxes, etc. Everyone loves my stuff but I'd like to do more than just "pay the bills" if you know what I mean. So far I've only sold on Marketplace and to a few Facebook friends, but I feel if I had an idea how to actually get my products out to the public better I would be doing quite well, as my products are very nice. I watched a KZbin video where the woodworker said to focus more on making smaller items that sell in larger quantities, which I could also easily do but I have no idea how to get my name out there. I seen you just posted an Etsy shop video which also seems like a cool side gig. I have a Cricut maker and make all my own shirts, crafts, etc. I'm going to check that out because I really enjoy the way you explain things in your videos. Thanks for everything Dina, you're going to do very well in life!

My dinacalligraphy.com website is Squarespace! It's not the best if you want to run the blog full-time or do complicated things. WordPress is the best for that since it is so much more customizable.. but if you know code, you can customize the Squarespace blog

I have something I would like to do myself. I want to make a channel on basic cooking skills and chores for the lazy significant other. I don't want to give away the entirety of the plan, but I think it has real potential. For example, I can cook a healthy breakfast in less than 90 seconds, no joke. Problem is that we live below our means to try and get ahead so our apartment is not nice to say the very least. Any ideas how I can work around the very ugly elephant in the room? I know my content will not be top tier in the beginning due to lack of experience, but not trying is the easiest way to fail.

I think you shouldn't let your apartment looks stop you from starting the channel 😊 at the beginning, I thought that my room was messy/ugly, and not as nice as the other youtubers. If you're starting a cooking channel, the only criteria is that you need a kitchen, not a beautiful kitchen. Also, it actually might be good if your kitchen doesn't look super duper beautiful because people can relate to you more.

Thanks for the share, some great suggestions in there. Have actually been thinking about starting an Etsy Digi store for a while now and have been working on my digies. Just need to work out how the uploads downloads work. Any help and suggestion in this area, would be much appreciated :).

An etsy shop is a great side biz to start good luck!!! 💪 If you're selling a digital template, you can just upload a PDF that includes the link to the digital template

Hey Dina, great vid so far (didn't finish watching yet). I wanted to say, I was like you, I wanted to start/create some kind of product, and the one that I felt I can actually get done was inspirational sticky notes. I felt it was doable and not very difficult to start, so that's what I did! That was my first original product I created. Ok, now back to your video.

You need to get your drive going and find something you're interested in or always wanted to try and just jump right in!!... It's pretty rough at the start until your brain starts to get it, just stick to it, make it a goal to at least understand it. Have fun!

@DinaLu Жыл бұрын
There are sooo many good books! Ones that I love in general are Chillpreneur (Denise Duffield Thomas) and PS You're a Genius (Kelly Trach). But I think if you know what kind of business you want to start, there are more specific books for each kind of business

What sites do you recommend to offer coaching?
@DinaLu Жыл бұрын
What do you mean? With coaching, for me it was mainly meetings on zoom and I used Instagram, and my email newsletter provider active campaign mainly. I also had some resources that I put on teachable.
