The Woodworking Side Hustle

Someone always asks the question eventually. At a craft fair, a neighbor's porch, or a friend's kitchen table, someone picks up something you built and asks what it costs, and you name a number pulled from nowhere while your stomach drops. This book is the proper follow-up to that moment: the shop setup, the pricing, and the selling systems that number deserved.

• Keep a four-to-one ratio of process content to for-sale posts on social media
• Track five numbers a month to see which products actually pay by the hour
