About Me

 

Hello, I'm Venugopal.G, the founder of Build Your Side Biz.

For the last 25 years, I’ve lived and breathed marketing. I’ve been in the trenches, launching products, building brands, and understanding what makes a business succeed—and what makes it fail. I’ve seen firsthand how the right strategy can turn a simple idea into a thriving enterprise.

Through my work as an influencer, a YouTuber, and a social media activist, I've connected with thousands of aspiring entrepreneurs. I kept hearing the same story over and over: "I have a great idea, but I don't know where to start," or "I'm afraid I'll make a mistake."

I realized the biggest obstacle isn't a lack of ambition. It's a lack of confidence, fueled by a lack of clear, actionable knowledge.

This blog is my answer to that problem.

My mission here at Build Your Side Biz is simple: to be the mentor I wish I had when I started. I want to demystify the world of entrepreneurship and give you the practical tools and confidence you need to take that first, crucial step.

Here, you won't find complicated jargon or get-rich-quick schemes. You'll find:

• Actionable Guides: Step-by-step instructions on starting and growing your side business.
• Honest Advice: Real-world lessons from my two-and-a-half decades of experience.
• Practical Side Hustle Ideas: Vetted ideas that you can start with limited time and resources.
• Confidence-Building Strategies: The mindset shifts required to overcome self-doubt and become a confident entrepreneur.

Thank you for being here. Your journey from "what if" to "what's next" starts now.

To your success,

Venugopal.G
