Preguntas frecuentes

How do I price my side hustle products?

Use the 3x rule: price at 3x your material cost. This covers materials (1/3), overhead and labor (1/3), and profit (1/3). Adjust based on market research.

When is a side hustle worth pursuing?

If break-even is achievable within 2-3 months, margins are above 40%, and hourly earnings exceed your opportunity cost (what you could earn elsewhere with that time).
