Let me ask you a question? How much energy are you putting into creating income streams that don’t just involve you running after interior design projects? Do you have a backup income stream that you can tap into when things get too quiet? Today I want to break down 5 ways that you could make additional income that don’t involve a design client.

Hey, you it, I’m Adam Scougall of the So You Want to Be an Interior Designer podcast, and welcome to EPISODE 11. This show really is for mid-career aspiring interior design or decorating solopreneurs that need support in building their own interior design business whilst working 9 to 5. 

 My aim is to help you balance your time and make more money whilst being able to choose the projects you want to work on rather than ones you have to take to pay your bills.

But first, whether you are just checking if you are the right fit for a new career in design, or wondering how you can improve what's going on in your current design career.

In today’s episode, I discuss 5 ideas that could develop into additional income streams. They involve you helping other designers in areas that they are not confident in, or don’t have the time to manage.

I know that the ideas I mention specifically in this episode may not be in your wheel house of expertise, but I do want you at least thinking about ways you can add value to other designers lives, that also benefit you with additional income stream.

Got some feedback on what you need to hear about next? Let me know your feedback by emailing me over at adam@adamscougall.com.

Enjoy the episode!
