Okay, so let me tell you about this whole “mercury related business in astrology” thing I got myself into. It all started when I stumbled upon some article online about how Mercury retrograde can mess with communication and technology. I was like, “What’s this woo-woo stuff?” But then I thought, “Hey, what if I could turn this into a side hustle?”
So, I started digging around. I found out that some people believe Mercury rules things like business, commerce, and even online marketing. I mean, that’s a whole lot of stuff, right? I figured, if people are freaking out about Mercury retrograde, maybe they’d pay for help navigating it. That’s how it all started. I thought to myself maybe I could make this happen to be a real thing.
First, I created a simple website. I used one of those free website builders. I am not a tech whiz, but even I could manage it. I put up some basic info about Mercury in astrology and offered a few services. You know, just testing the waters. I offered things like “Mercury Retrograde Survival Kits” – just a bit of fun, really, with checklists and tips for dealing with tech glitches and miscommunications.
Then, I started a blog. I wrote about stuff related to Mercury, like how to “optimize your website during retrograde” and things like that. I even tried to do some keyword research, but let me tell you, that stuff is a whole other ball game, I just try my best to put some words that I think are related to each other in the articles. I read some articles about business analysts, how they use data to assess processes, but I’m not a data analyst, for sure. I just use my gut feeling to see what content may be trending.
- First Step: I spent hours making this simple website.
- Second Step: I wrote articles about this whole astrology thing to get some attention.
- Third Step: I offered some made-up services. You won’t believe what people would actually pay for.
- Fourth Step: I even started using social media to promote my stuff.
Honestly, I didn’t expect much. But then, a few people started signing up for my newsletter. Then, someone actually bought a “Retrograde Survival Kit”! I was shocked. I mean, I was just putting some random stuff together, and people were paying for it!
I started getting more into it. I joined some online forums and Facebook groups about astrology and business. I learned a bit about online marketing and even tried running some ads, which was a complete disaster at first. I wasted so much money! But I learned from my mistakes, and eventually, I figured it out.
I even started offering personalized “Mercury Business Readings.” I’d look at someone’s birth chart and tell them what Mercury’s placement might mean for their business. I know it sounds crazy, but people were really into it. Some even said it helped them make better decisions.
It was tough at times, and definitely a learning curve. I had to figure out how to manage payments, customer service, and all that jazz. I watched some videos about making money online and tried to apply some tips to my little business.
The Outcome
Now, it’s not like I’m making millions or anything. But I’m making a decent side income doing something I find pretty interesting. I never thought I’d be an “astrology business” guy, but here I am. I’m getting better at this whole online marketing thing and I’m even thinking about expanding my services.
I guess the takeaway is, you never know what kind of opportunities are out there. If you’re willing to put in the work and learn as you go, you can turn almost any interest into a little business. I used to think this whole astrology thing was just a joke, but now it’s helping me pay my bills. Who would’ve thought?
