Side Business Tips

My name is Hannah Cooper, and I know exactly what it feels like to balance a demanding full-time job with the dream of creating something of your own.

My journey began after graduating from the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin, where I studied management and entrepreneurship. Like many graduates, I entered the corporate world — working in communications while quietly experimenting with side projects.

I tried blogging, freelancing, and e-commerce, failing more times than I succeeded. But with persistence, I discovered how to manage my time, choose the right opportunities, and grow my side hustles into real income streams.

Eventually, those small projects gave me the freedom to leave my 9-to-5 job behind. That transformation inspired me to launch Side Business Tips. I wanted to create the resource I wished I had when I was starting out — a place filled with practical, relatable advice for anyone chasing financial freedom through side hustles.

Here, I share productivity hacks, low-cost business ideas, and lessons from my own successes and failures. My mission is to help others turn small steps into life-changing opportunities.
