Welcome back everybody.
We're diving deep today into side hustles,
but not just any side hustles.
We're looking at one specifically for Christian women.
Ooh, interesting.
Yeah.
We're getting our inspiration from this YouTube video
called The Best Side Hustle for Christian Women,
make US $5,400 in a month online worldwide.
Okay.
It's from the channel Launch to Wealth TV.
And you know, at first glance, you might think,
okay, it's just another side hustle video.
But what's cool about this one
is how it brings faith into it.
I see.
Even uses scripture like First Thessalonians 4.11
to back up the whole idea of going
for financial independence.
That's interesting.
It's definitely tapping into this whole conversation
about faith and work that's been going on,
but it's presenting it in a way like these side hustles
are like a modern way to live out your faith,
almost like a form of ministry.
Totally.
So let's get into some of the ideas from the video.
One that jumped out at me was faith-based affiliate marketing.
So have you seen much of this,
like people promoting modest clothing
or Christian books to their online community?
Yeah, for sure.
It's a growing niche.
The thing is though,
the key with affiliate marketing,
whether it's faith-based or not,
is knowing your audience, really understanding them.
You know, what are their needs, values.
Then you can find products that truly resonate with them.
It makes your recommendations,
you know, way more authentic and effective.
Yeah, that makes sense.
The video also mentions setting up
a Christian jewelry e-commerce store
and getting products from Alibaba.
Mm.
See, that's where things can get kind of tricky.
Yeah.
You know, especially if you start thinking
about the ethics of sourcing stuff overseas,
you gotta consider things like fair labor practices,
environmental sustainability,
you know, like how transparent the whole supply chain is.
It's not just about, you know, finding the cheapest supplier.
It's about making sure your business practices
actually line up with your faith.
Right.
It's not always as straightforward
as it might seem at first glance.
Definitely not.
Okay, so speaking of online platforms,
the video talks a lot about Etsy,
suggesting stuff like selling faith-based stickers
or printable wall art.
Yeah, Etsy is super popular with, you know,
creative entrepreneurs.
And it's pretty user-friendly, which can be appealing.
But there are downsides too,
like it's a crowded marketplace.
It's tough to stand out.
Plus there's that whole algorithm thing to figure out.
That's true.
The video did mention using Canva
to create designs for the printable wall art.
That seems like a pretty accessible way to get started.
Oh yeah, Canva's great for that.
It's a total lifesaver for anyone who's not,
you know, a graphic design pro.
It's got tons of templates and stuff
to help you make designs that look really professional.
Yeah, it's a good example of how technology
is making it easier for people to start businesses,
even if they don't have those traditional skills.
Totally.
Okay, so the next side hustle that caught my eye
was starting a journaling company.
Oh yeah, journaling's huge right now.
Yeah.
And there's definitely a growing interest
in like bringing faith into that whole practice.
For sure.
What I find interesting is how many resources
there are online for starting a journaling business.
You know, you can find free tutorials
on making journals, sourcing materials, even marketing.
It's a great example of how the online community
could be so supportive for people
who want to be entrepreneurs.
Yeah, it makes it seem less intimidating, you know?
If you're just starting out.
Definitely.
And then there was this idea of putting together
quiet time gift boxes.
It's like a curated package with mugs and journals,
maybe a devotional book in there.
Oh yeah, gift boxes are so popular right now.
And what's clever is how this idea takes that trend
and mixes it with, you know, this whole desire
for faith-based stuff and self-care.
Right.
It's like you're giving someone this little package
of peace and encouragement.
It's a really appealing concept.
Totally, like a ready-made way to create a special moment,
you know, for yourself or someone you care about.
Yeah, exactly.
The video also talks about making
Christian affirmation cards.
Hmm, that's another interesting one.
It really shows you the power of words
and how they can affect our thoughts and feelings,
you know?
Affirmations, especially ones based in faith,
can be super powerful for like building self-esteem
and getting over negative self-talk.
That's true.
The video mentions starting a Christian candle company too,
but with like healthy options.
So like soy-based candles.
It's combining the spiritual side with well-being.
Smart move from a business perspective.
It helps them stand out.
You know, people are paying more attention
to ingredients these days.
There's a growing demand for natural and eco-friendly stuff.
Right.
So offering soy-based candles means they're appealing
to a health-conscious audience
while still tapping into that faith-based market.
Yeah, it's cool how the video presents these ideas,
not just as ways to make money,
but as ways to share your faith
and make a positive impact.
Exactly, and it actually brings us to the side hustle
that the video seems most excited about.
Creating a mentorship community for wives.
Oh yeah.
And this one's different.
It's not about selling a product.
It's about sharing your wisdom and experience.
Right, creating a space where women can connect,
learn from each other,
and just support each other in their journeys
as wives and mothers.
I think the video even quotes Titus 2.4,
where it talks about older women teaching younger women.
Yeah, it's a beautiful example
of how you can use entrepreneurship
to actually live out what the Bible says.
Yeah.
To create something that serves others
and lines up with your faith.
It really speaks to a need in the Christian community.
Marriage can be tough and having a mentor.
Someone who's been there
and can give advice from a faith-based perspective
is so valuable.
For sure.
The video also mentions that this mentorship
could even be offered online.
Oh, that's smart.
It makes it available to women everywhere.
You're not limited by location.
You can have this global community of women
all looking to grow in their faith and their marriages.
So we've got these product-based ideas
like jewelry stickers, candles.
Then we've got this mentorship community,
which is all about service and connecting.
Hmm.
You could say that the product-based businesses
are meeting like a tangible need,
whether it's a pretty necklace
or a nice smell in your home.
But the mentorship community, it's about a deeper need.
A need for connection guidance and spiritual support.
And it's not even just about getting support.
It's about giving back too.
The video talks about how women who have been through it,
you know, with marriage and motherhood,
can use their wisdom to help others.
Absolutely.
It's using your gifts to serve others.
And to make a difference in the world.
It's recognizing that you have something to offer,
even if it's not a physical product.
Yeah.
That's powerful.
So we've talked about why this mentorship community might
be so appealing.
But what about the other side hustles?
What are some key takeaways for our listeners?
One thing that really stood out was the importance
of being genuine.
Whether you're selling something or offering a service,
people can sense when you're passionate about what you do.
Right.
And I think that's especially crucial in the Christian market.
People are looking for businesses that match their values.
Run by people they trust.
It's not just about putting a Bible verse on something
and calling it a day.
It's got to be deeper than that.
Exactly.
It's about having integrity, treating people right,
using your business to share your faith
and make a positive impact.
And it's important to remember that entrepreneurship is a journey.
There will be ups and downs, challenges, setbacks.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
But if you're rooted in your faith
and have a clear vision for your business,
you can get through those tough times and reach your goals.
Couldn't agree more.
And that's where having a supportive community
can be so huge surrounding yourself
with people who get it.
People who understand what it's like to run a faith-based
business.
Yeah.
It makes a world of difference.
And it kind of goes back to that mentorship community idea.
It's like building that support right into their business model.
Totally.
It's a win-win.
The members get the support they need.
And the creator gets to build a successful business
while living out her calling to serve others.
Speaking of the creator, I'd love
to know more about why she's so into this mentorship community.
It's obviously more than just business for her.
Yeah, there's definitely more to impact there.
What is it about this particular side hustle
that speaks to her and the audience so much?
Let's explore that in the last part of our deep dive.
We've covered a lot of ground with these side hustle ideas
from selling jewelry to starting a candle company.
But that mentorship community for wives
keeps coming back to me.
Yeah, it's definitely unique.
Out of all the options, it's the one that's purely
about sharing knowledge and experience,
not a physical product.
But the video creator seems to think
it has the biggest potential, not just for making a difference,
but as a business too.
You're right.
It's all about impact.
She's clearly passionate about helping women through the ups
and downs of marriage and motherhood.
And this community seems like her way to do that on a bigger
scale.
It's more than just giving advice, though.
It's about making a safe space for women to connect,
to share their struggles and wins and learn from each other.
Yeah, like that saying, it takes a village,
but this time it's online so women
can connect no matter where they are, which I think
is so important these days when so many women feel isolated.
And it speaks to that need for a mentor, someone
who's been there before.
For generations, women have looked
to older women and their families and communities
for guidance.
This mentorship community is like a modern version of that.
And it being rooted in faith adds another level.
It's not just practical advice.
It's guidance based on biblical principles and values.
It's about more than just getting by in marriage
and motherhood.
It's about thriving in those roles,
using your faith and a community of women
who share your beliefs.
From a business side, it's a smart model.
It's using something really valuable and in demand,
experience and wisdom.
She doesn't need to create a product or stock inventory.
She's already got it, her knowledge and experience.
And being service based.
It can really grow.
She can reach a global audience and make a difference
in so many lives without being limited.
So this mentorship community really hits all the marks.
It fits with her faith.
It meets a real need.
And it can be both successful and profitable.
Exactly.
It's a great example of how you can use entrepreneurship
to do good in the world and be successful financially.
It doesn't have to be one or the other.
It can be both.
And that's so inspiring for anyone
thinking about a faith based side hustle.
It's about finding that place where your passion, skills
and faith come together.
It's about asking yourself, what unique gifts and talents
do I have that I can use to help others?
And being open to new possibilities,
mixing your faith with that entrepreneurial spirit.
Well said.
It's been great diving deep into these ideas
and seeing how they can work for Christian women.
Who knows?
Maybe this will spark an idea for our listeners
to create their own faith based side hustle.
There are so many ways to make a difference.
The key is to listen to your heart, use your talents,
and be brave enough to take that first step.
Thanks for joining us for this deep dive.
We hope it was helpful and inspiring.
And remember, whatever you do, your faith
can be there for you every step of the way.
