POST #2 TWO WAYS TO CREATE A PRODUCT TO SELL AS A SIDE HUSTLE

In the previous post, I stated there are basically two ways one can go about creating a product to sell as a side hustle. One, you create your own product and sell it. And two, sell others’ products.

In today’s post, we look at selling product created by others.

Selling products created by others

In the second way to create a side hustle product, we don’t necessarily “create” one. We sell those created by others and we will discuss only two ways of going about it below.

#1 Selling products created by others as they are

We can sell product created by others as they are – without any alteration. I believe this is the path followed by most of us. Most of the products sold in supermarkets aren’t created by supermarkets. They buy from wholesalers, manufacturers or distributors and sell them as they are.

And there is no shame in that.

Examples are;

I can buy books from book distributors and sell them at my book store as they are.
I can sell an affiliate product as it is.
I can buy stock from say Alibaba and re-sell as it is.
I can buy a stud bull and sell it as it is via auction.

#2 Modify products created by others and sell them as ours

Sometimes we can modify products created by others and sell as ours.

Examples are;

I can buy books in a PLR product, re-do it and sell them as mine.
I can buy an ewe, slaughter it and sell as raw meat
I can buy a car, re-style it and sell

TWO WAYS TO CREATE A PRODUCT TO SELL AS A SIDE HUSTLE

You now feel the need to start a hustle on the side. But then you ask yourself, how do acquire a product to sell?

Well, there are basically two ways you can go about it. One, you create your own product and sell it. And two, sell others’ products.

*I am using the word “product” to refer to a product and service.

*In this post, we shall briefly cover the way no#1 – creating your own product.

* Way no#2 shall be covered in the next post.

Way No#1: Creating your own product

There are also two ways of creating your own product;

You can create a product on your own OR outsource the creative process to another party.

#1: Creating a product with your own “mind and hands”

There are thousands upon thousands of products you can create with “your own mind and hands”.

American-Romanian Physicist, Nicola Tesla, placed huge emphasis on employing the “mind” ahead of “hands” to creating a product.

This is what he said;

“My method is different. I do not rush into actual work. When I get a new idea, I start at once building it up in my imagination, and make improvements and operate the device in my mind. When I have gone so far as to embody everything in my invention, every possible improvement I can think of, and when I see no fault anywhere, I put into concrete form the final product of my brain”

And I like it.

Bulleted below are examples of hustles you can directly create with your hands and mind.

Produce cabbage through organic gardening
Write an ebook
Rear and supply pigs at your farm holding to slaughter houses
Invent a device
Create a computer game
Prepare and sell food for children’s parties on weekends
Freeze and mold ice cubes and blocks
Run a carpet cleaning service after hours
Outsource translation service for your translation firm from Fiverr.com
And there are many more…

#2: Outsourcing the creative process of your side hustle product

It may be that you are held up at work or you have not technical skills to pull off the product you desire as your side hustle, leaving you with the option to outsource the service.

If you know exactly want and can design specifications for what you want, others can create products for you.

Below are examples of hustles whose creative process you can outsource.

Use ghost writers to write your book. I have read somewhere on Wikipedia that some of Donald Trump’s books were actually written by ghost writers
Hire a web developer to create SaaS product for you.
Engage a factory in China or elsewhere to manufacture t-shirts for you
Hire a chick incubation company to supply your side hustle with baby chickens

Post Weekend business idea

Hustle Idea: Start a Toilet Drain Business on the side

A good part of the world doesn’t have connected sewage system. So sewage from each household or office must be pumped and portably transferred to sewage treatment plants. And this is where you come in with your side hustle;

You pump
You transport sewage to the sewage treatment plant
And get paid.

And entry rates are low in this sector because no one wants to work with or around sewage – which is good for the side hustler.

If you can find a used truck, add the tank and the pump, you are good to go.
