Simple Setup to Start Selling
Hey there fellow side hustler!
If there’s one thing that stops more new side hustlers than anything else, it’s this:
💭 “I’ll launch once I figure out the tech.”
That sounds responsible — but it’s often just fear in disguise.
You don’t need fancy funnels, automated email sequences, or a pixel-perfect website to make your first sale. You only need two things:
👉 a way to get paid
👉 a way to deliver your offer
That’s it.
🛠️ The Bare-Minimum Launch Setup
Let’s strip this down to the essentials so you can get started this week.
Payment Link — Use something like Stripe Payment Links, PayPal.me, or Buy Me a Coffee. They’re fast, secure, and no website required.
Delivery Method — How you deliver depends on your offer type:
Digital product → Google Drive link, Notion page, or email delivery
Coaching or service → Zoom link or email confirmation
Physical product → DM + manual order tracking or Shopify Lite page
You can refine all this later — but first, prove the offer works.
💭 Why Simple Wins
Every extra tool adds friction, and friction kills momentum.
You don’t have to be big to start, but you have to start to be big.
When you launch simply, you learn faster. You’ll know what customers actually want before you invest in bigger systems.
📌 Act Before You’re Ready
Stop waiting for the perfect tech stack — start with what you can do today. Your first sale isn’t a test of your tools, it’s a test of your belief and resourcefulness.
