Start a side hustle with no money: Sell your time or a skill first: it needs no stock and no website, and gives you money to invest later. 1) List what people already ask you for help with. 2) Choose one thing someone would pay for this month. 3) Tell 20 people you know what you are offering and what it costs.

## The steps
1. List what people already ask you for help with.
2. Choose one thing someone would pay for this month.
3. Tell 20 people you know what you are offering and what it costs.
4. Do the first job well, then ask for a referral.
5. Put the money you make aside for tools.
6. Block fixed hours each week, because a side hustle dies when it is only done when you feel like it.
