I started my first ever side hustle in 2018 selling greeting cards. I then started to teach calligraphy workshops for a couple months until I quit my 9-5 government office job in 2019, and since then I've tried a whole bunch of business ideas being self-employed for 3.5 years!
(I know in the video I say I've done 9, but there's actually 10... I forgot to include my pet-sitting business haha 😂)
In this video, I share the 9 businesses I've tried and 6 businesses that my friends have tried. If you're looking for side business ideas or just advice on how to start a side hustle and you have no idea where to start, then keep watching!

That's because they are full fledged jobs and you need to take them as such for them to work. Calling them side hustles is just a weird click-baiting trend.

@WilleneBusinessLifestyle Год назад

I started my business about 3years ago here in China too and it was tough at the start but I finally learned a lot and much stable now. I’m glad I started. Starting and running a business is never a waste, even if the beginning is rough, it’ll eventually be fine. Thanks for your video. I enjoyed it. ✌🏾

@suzannemun Год назад

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 Год назад

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! :)

Another awesome video Dina! I have been self employed for nearly a decade. As a dog walker for a long time and now as a disability support worker with RU-vid as my side hustle :) I also have a print on demand store but I'm not very active there so it's slow but who doesn't love a passive income, big or small!

@yudanbi Год назад

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!

@Ollylifestyle Год назад

Honestly, i've been on a hunt to find a good business model that i can kick-off easily without having to put SO much money on it, but the ONE major thing that's been stopping me and it keeps dragging me back to point 0 is my location. 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..

@DinaLu Год назад

Mmmm I've never even thought about that, I guess I take for granted that I live in Canada. ☹️ Do you know of other online business owners in your country?

@themoonmanmusic Год назад

I'm just gonna comment again so hopefully you can recognize me, I mean you miss every chance you don't take right? I know blowing up takes patience like what you said before it happened to you, you uploaded 100+ videos but I think for an upcoming indie artist like me it's gonna be harder because my content is limited for now. That's no excuse though that's why here I am still learning every advice that I can get. I'm doing this 'til it's fun and the grind is fun so I'm gonna keep striving. Thank you for sharing your success ms. Dina Lu! I'm not expecting you to answer but I kindly ask you to listen my songs. I hope you like my thoughts that are sync in music. 🙏🎶🌙

@nathananderson8720 9 месяцев назад

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my RU-vid channel 8 months ago about self development. Now I have 773 subs and > 300 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.

@DinaLu 9 месяцев назад

OMG I don't know how I missed this, congratulations Nathan, that's so awesome to hear!! 🙌🎉❤️

@nathananderson8720 9 месяцев назад

@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 RU-vid 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 RU-vidr, 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 RU-vid 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! :)

I was wondering, sorry if this is a weird question but why do many youtubers choose to not link their etsy shop? I would love to see your shop and purchase cards.

@DinaLu Год назад

So that it doesn't mess up the Etsy algorithm, and so that people don't create products in the same niche! I actually don't sell my greeting cards on my Etsy shop. But if you'd like to buy some, you can DM me on instagram dinadlu

@1213LB Год назад

@Dina Lu oh ok makes sense. I can see how people would want to copy the idea, especially after talking in a video about how you were successful with it. Thanks for the answer :)

Hi Dina, In your next monthly update: would you be able to explain your background skillwise? Making templates on Canva, one can assume graphic design/ art? Thanks: this video is giving so much inspiration

@DinaLu Год назад

I actually have no graphic design experience. Other than when I was a teenager I played around with Photoshop a bit. I learned canva by myself just throughout the last couple years, but I never got really good at it until I started making my Etsy listings. I still don't think I'm a very advanced canva user, but it's good enough for what I create on Etsy

Great video! Can we please get a 3 month update about your etsy.

@DinaLu Год назад

Yes of course there will be! Waiting for January to be over and for me to get paid by Etsy on February 6th, then I'll film the video 🙌 I also sometimes share about my Etsy sales on my Instagram stories @dinadlu

@InfiniteASMR662 Год назад

All am trying to focus on is making my RU-vid Channel my main source of income. Hopefully someday! Am this close! Thank you for sharing! :)

You can do it! 💪 Thank you so much!

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 Год назад

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 Год назад

@@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 RU-vid 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!

@@Chrissyboy82 I think there's a lot of opportunity for you here with the woodworking, with the actual woodworking itself for customers in your area since you do a lot, but also stuff online like starting a youtube channel (obviously more long term) or yes as you said, Etsy. The more you make projects, I'm sure the more customers you'll get with word of mouth. So many ways to do marketing, like word of mouth, fb marketplace, social media, going to different kinds of events (gardening events?). Good luck!!!🙌

@Chrissyboy82 Год назад

@@DinaLu Sounds great! I will do all of those things effective immediately. Thanks so much Dina, you're awesome!

Hey! Love your energy 🖤 where do you run / host your blog? X

@DinaLu Год назад

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

@willcook6967 Год назад

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.

@DinaLu Год назад

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.

@springrolljacky Год назад

Hey Dina, can you teach us the process on how to make a course for people? Just like how you did in idea 6

@DinaLu Год назад

I'll add that as an idea for a video!

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

What books do you recommend for starting the first business?

@DinaLu Год назад

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 Год назад

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.
