According to the survey done on 2500 women and 2200 men, it was found that both parents, especially mums, continued having sleep deprivation for 5 to 6 years, even after the baby had grown up. Considering how mums need to manage their daily chores like taking care of the baby, getting the household cooking done and also managing their jobs, lack of sleep becomes potentially detrimental to their health and overall wellbeing.
So, if you have been there and done that, and have a few tips up your sleeves to make the lives of new mums easy, you could help them by starting an online counselling channel! Your words of wisdom would save their time and would help them optimise their work, giving them more time for rejuvenating themselves. After all, a sleepy mind is never a sound mind!
Network and grow with other mums
In today’s online world, it is really easy to reach out to someone and ask for help. And believe it or not, to create a successful side hustle one definitely needs help! In your journey of reaching out to your potential audience and letting them know of your magic, you would need to take help from your own network of friends on social media platforms. Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest serve a great purpose of increasing your enterprise’s visibility. And LinkedIn could be a great way to professionally let people and businesses alike know about the services and products you offer. Besides, don’t forget to use the old good word-of-mouth.
