I started learning digital businesses on and off when I was younger but never took it seriously as a business. Once I did, I realized how much knowledge I had accumulated over the years. Through teaching interns and analysts, I realized that the biggest barrier to starting your own side hustle is the initial learning curve.
My first ~10 posts are about the *basics* of getting started.
Why?
There is an absolute dearth of actionable information all in one place for how to start. This is the biggest barrier to WiFi money.
