The holiday season is here and the parties will be in full swing. With the recent world events it’s easy to be depressed so people need a reason to party. If party planning is your think now is the time to capitalize on your talents.
My friend, MizInspired gave me the idea for this side hustle series installment. She loves planning parties and her friends are convinced that she could make a mint. You might be one of those people who can effortlessly plan and implement holiday, birthday, office or anniversary parties. If so, use your talents for good and help out those who are planning challenged. I happen to be one of those people.
I would rather pass on the party planning to someone else. My sister is the event planning type. She gets a high off of the details that goes into planning a party or event. There is no shortage of potential clients with this side gig because there will always be office, kids birthdays and baby showers. With you notebook, a party store, and the right amount of cash you can put on the party of the century.
Be sure to take pictures for your portfolio and set up a website (or blog) to showcase your skills. Business cards and maybe a brochures are essential too.
