NYC Small Business Resource Network

Free one-on-one help for New York City small businesses from Small Business Support Specialists at the five borough chambers of commerce — grants and loans, digital marketing, getting online, lease negotiations and business planning.

Why I recommend it: Great first stop for NYC owners: fill in the business profile form and a specialist from your borough's chamber follows up.

The Side Hustle Guide

Four-chapter workbook from Side Hustle Pro on choosing the right side hustle, defining your target audience and ideal client, testing the idea cheaply, and moving forward consistently — with homework at the end of each chapter.

Why I recommend it: The polling exercise in Chapter 1 is the part people skip and the part that works: ask ten people what they think you are good at, anonymously, and start there.
