Think about what friends and neighbours ask you to help with. It might be social media posts, a simple website or neat spreadsheets for a small shop. Learn the basics properly through a short course, then offer your service to two or three people.\n\nKeep your first prices fair and clear. Write down what you will deliver and by when. Ask each happy client for a short review you can show to the next one.\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.\n\n<cite>Nelson Mandela<\/cite><\/blockquote>\nGrow slowly. Once your side income covers your course fees and a little more, you can decide whether to take on more clients, move into a full-time role or start a proper business.
