One Simple Strategy Helped Her Earn $6K/Month—Here’s How

...a beginner's blueprint

Hey Biz Starter!

This might sound mushy…but even now, I still daydream about helping people with their business. If you’re an entrepreneur then you know how exhilarating it is to help someone.

Serving others—there’s nothing like it.

Think about your why. What do you enjoy doing that doesn’t seem like work?

Do you dream of starting a business but worried about money or experience?

You’re not alone. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, 39% of new entrepreneurs start with less than $5,000—and many grow into six-figure businesses with smart strategies.

Last year I helped a client, who was a single mom turn her passion for organizing into a successful online business. With just a business strategy, website, and guidance, she now earns $6,000+ per month offering digital organizing guides and virtual consulting sessions.

Her secret? Starting small, staying consistent, and solving a real problem.

Not sure where to start? Kickstart your journey with these creative, budget-friendly business ideas!

▪️Digital Products & Printables

Ever made a planner, checklist, or template for yourself? Others might pay for it! Sell digital downloads on Etsy, Shopify, or Gumroad. (Fun fact: Digital product businesses can hit 80% profit margins because there’s no inventory to manage!) Not a design expert—outsource it.

▪️Service-Based Side Business

Do you have skills in admin, social media, or bookkeeping? The virtual assistant industry is booming, growing at 35% per year. Bonus? Many businesses pay $30–$75/hr for these services, making it a great low-cost startup idea. Not sure where to start, get help launching your business. 

▪️Affiliate Marketing & Content Creation

Love sharing your favorite tools or products? Affiliate marketers can earn $5K+ per month by recommending tools, courses, and software through blogs, YouTube, or Instagram.

▪️Online Courses & Coaching

If you’ve ever said, “People always ask me about ____,” you might have a business idea! The online education industry is expected to reach $375 billion by 2026. Package your knowledge into a mini-course or coaching program.  

Don’t let overthinking stop you. Pick ONE idea, start small, and take action.
