You have got your product built and are working hard to get it out to the world.

But, how do you price the product?

This has been a huge headache for me. Since I first started developing Elementary Analytics.

Everyone is so quick to give you their feedback. What happens with that feedback contradicts each other and you are no closer to working this out.

In this episode, I discuss how I first priced Elementary Analytics. What sort of feedback I've been getting related to the price. And how I've gone about changing the product and pricing model off the back of this feedback.

In this episode, I'm excited to welcome Pascal Poredda onto the podcast.

Pascal dropped me an email after listening to one of my episodes. I always ask for feedback and Pascal was kind enough to give me his thoughts.

We got chatting and had a few catch-ups over zoom and it was great to hear Pascal has a few side-hustles that he is working on. Like me, he is still working a 9-5 and spends his spare time seeing if he can get a project off the ground.

I'm impressed with what Pascal has put out into the world over a short space of time. We chat about the YouTube channels he has or is thinking about doing. As well as hosting a few podcasts of his own. Pascal is also building a software product, which I'm excited to see how it develops over the next few months.

Thanks to Pascal Poredda for being a guest on the podcast.

You've been able to hit that first milestone. The most rewarding part of working on a side hustle. Getting that first paying customer.

How do you get to the next level?

It's hard, working 9-5, having something that could work and grow into what you want.

What do you focus your attention on to grow, to scale? To continue to get paying customers?

In this episode, I discuss, how I'm thinking about this in my own side hustle. And what I'm thinking of doing in the short, medium, and long term. To try and build on the initial success of my first paying customer.

In this episode, I'm excited to welcome Chris Hutchings of eOpinion onto the podcast.

Chris started eOpinion back in 2015 and always thought it forever be a side hustle. Bringing in a bit of extra cash each month, instead of his sole focus.

Being torn between an excellent job, and eOpinion growing and demanding more time. Chris had to make a tough choice and pick between them. So glad he picked the side hustle.

We discuss the positives, and negatives Chris has experienced with eOpinion. We also touch upon how personal branding helps you promote a side hustle, and how it can be a fine balancing act. Between being true to who you are, or turning into a "product".

Thanks to Chris Hutchings for being a guest on the podcast.

It was an honour and a privilege.

How do you get you and your product out there when starting it? It's a scary thought, using social media to promote yourself. How do you even know where to begin?

I had a bit of a lightbulb moment back in May/June of 2020. I heard someone say "start creating content for the platform you consume the most". Being an avid podcast listener, it made sense to start a podcast. It's hard to know what to talk about, so I just started documenting my journey about working on side hustles.

In this episode, I'm excited to welcome another guest onto the podcast, James Mulvany. I've had the pleasure of using one of James' platforms since starting Find Your Side Hustle.

James is a serial entrepreneur and knew from the grand old age of 16 that he wanted to be his own boss. He got started designing and creating website banners for people.

We discuss the positives and negatives James has experienced in launching and working on his businesses. How ideas are great, but you need to develop the skill of being able to put certain ideas to one side. Look at what things are working for you in terms of growing an idea or business and go from there.

What does "Personal Brand" even mean? Is it something that social media platforms have invented out of thin air any excuse to keep people on their platform?

I've chatted about this loads. Promoting a side hustle is hard, well that's what I've been finding. My default has always been to create a website for your side project. Register social media accounts as a way to promote your idea and get people to your website. Does this even work when it's just you running EVERYTHING?

In this episode, I talk about how I've switched from using these "business" social media accounts to try and find customers for my projects. To using my personal social media accounts to try and get me and my products out to the world. It's been scary, hard, and a lot of work.

I'm hoping to create another mini-series, with part 2 coming out in a few months to see how I've been progressing.

Sim and I met at a networking event and started chatting on LinkedIn. One day Sim commented on a post of mine, saying how he believed in setting intentions on your "days off" that could help you in the week ahead. Ultimately setting you up for long-term success.

We discuss Sim's background from running a Pub and working 15 hour days to now for the Federation of Small Businesses. Giving back and helping other build and grow their businesses.

What the hell is the "Sunk Cost Fallacy" when it's at home. Something a lot of people ask.

If you have spent weeks, months, years trying to get a side hustle off the ground, it can be tough to step back and look at what you're doing objectively.

In this episode, I discuss my experience with the sunk cost fallacy and what you can do differently to make sure you aren't wasting your time by plowing on with a project regardless.
