Where can I find a digital marketing side hustle?
These side hustles will let you work on real-life projects with real people who would benefit from your skillsets in digital marketing. Although you may not have to go online to find local businesses who would benefit from your skills in web design and marketing, many find it hard to get their first clients by going to local businesses.
Have you ever tried to pitch a local business in your area to redesign their website or manage their social media for them? We know how hard it can be to get the owner of a mom-and-pop shop to let you into their business – even if you offer to do it for free. There’s an easier way to build your online portfolio or gain more experience.
