How Harper works

01

Tell us

Your goal, your skills, and the hours you can spare. One paragraph is enough.

02

Get plan

A personal business canvas and a 30-day action map, written for your specific niche.

03

Watch the path

A 60-second walkthrough video and a 30-day income forecast — estimates, not promises.

Six paths real people are taking

Same Harper engine, six honest blueprints

Each path comes with the canvas, the action map, and the 60-second walkthrough.

Featured path

Resume coach for laid-off PMs

$420 – $1,180 / mo

Difficulty: $0 starting budget
60-minute structured rewrite, $240 a session, three slots a week — that's a salary's worth of side income without burning out.

Etsy printable shop

$320 – $980 / mo

$15 starting budget

Lowest-friction launch on Etsy — no fulfilment, no inventory, just a quiet planner template that compounds while you sleep.

Editor's pick

Recession-proof, parent-funded

Coding tutor for high-school CS

$540 – $2,100 / mo

Difficulty: $0 starting budget
AP CS tutoring is recession-proof. Two evenings a week clears $1.5K. Parents convert on the structured 30-day plan, not the live hours.

Real numbers from real side hustlers

I'd been thinking about a resume coach side hustle for two years. Harper turned it into a 30-day plan in one evening — and I made my first $240 sale on day 14.

Before $0 / mo·After $740 / mo

  • The action map made the difference. I stopped procrastinating because every day already had one task on it.

  • First Etsy sale on day 14. The walkthrough video kept me honest when I wanted to quit on day 9.
