Maybe it’s becoming an in-demand Depop seller. Or a LinkedIn ghostwriter. Or the Rover-famous dog walker every pup in the neighborhood is obsessed with. 🐕

The Girlboss team is no exception. So we asked a few of the gals to spill: if we quit our jobs tomorrow, what would we launch?

The idea is the fun part. But the setup (domain, website, business email, and phone line) is where a lot of us stall, or just default to our personal info (which is a big no-no). 🫣 

That’s why we teamed up with Northwest Registered Agent, which gives new business owners all of it for free. 

But first, our dream side hustles (and what we’d need to make them legit). 👇

🧵 The Blanket Business
Lara Buchar, Contributing Writer

“I love quilting in my spare time and gifting the blankets I make to friends, and they’re always encouraging me to start a business and sell them professionally. I’ve looked at selling on big-name online marketplaces, but they charge so many fees it just wouldn’t be worth it for me.”

What she’d need most: “Having a domain and website where I could share and sell my work directly would be so major! I love the idea of having my own little creative corner on the internet where I’m in charge of all the aesthetic details.”

💌 The Stationery Shop
Kamela, Brand Partnerships & Growth Manager

“My dream side hustle would be a stationery shop selling greeting cards, notepads, and other cute paper goods. I’ve always loved stationery and the idea of creating thoughtful, fun cards for the occasions that are surprisingly hard to find the right card for, like breaking off a toxic relationship, landing a new job, going back to school, or just making it through a really tough week. There’s something really special about giving someone a physical card that feels like it was made for their exact situation!”

What she’d need most: “A domain and website so people could browse the designs, place orders, and discover all the stationery goodies without relying entirely on social media. I’d also need a professional email to keep everything organized and separate from my personal life!”

💍 The Fine Jewelry Line
Janelle, Brand Partnerships Manager

“I’ve dabbled in making jewelry before, so my dream side hustle would have to be an online, handmade jewelry shop selling dainty stacking rings, charm necklaces, and custom birthstone pieces, all made to be worn every day and not saved for special occasions.”

What she’d need most: “A business phone line so customers can reach me about custom pieces, without giving out my personal number.”

Whether you need a website to sell your work, a business address to keep your home address off shipping labels, or a professional email to keep things separate from your personal inbox, Northwest Registered Agent has got you covered:

All in one place, all for $0. 

Plus, your personal phone, email, and name stay off public record. It’s built on open-source tech so you’re never locked in if you ever want to move things later, and a real human picks up every time you call.

Your dream side hustle deserves a legit identity. Now go make it happen. 💪
