Listen "123: How To Start An Association To Grow Your Side Hustle"
Episode Synopsis
What if you could create an association around your side hustle that not only supports your growth but positions you as a leader in your niche? In this thought-provoking episode, Cathi Nelson shares how she turned her photo organizing side hustle into a six-figure business and then went a step further—creating an association that now connects and supports over 700 paying members worldwide. Cathi walks us through; how she got the idea to start her association, the first steps she took to bring it to life, and how she grew it into a thriving global membership. Her story is a masterclass in using an association as a tool to build community, expand credibility, and create new income streams. Be sure to stick around after our conversation, where I'll share key considerations to help you decide if creating an association, membership community, or a hybrid of the two could be the perfect addition to your side hustle strategy.
