Side hustles: Are they for real?

by Susan Paigeon March 5, 2021 ~ Leave a Comment

Are you always concerned about the money and how to make your ends meet? Is your planner full of rescheduled goals you cannot accomplish because you need some extra cash? And no way you can earn it with your nine-to-five job. Many are in this kind of situation. And with the pandemic being around for a whole year, more people are struggling to cover their existential expenses. But there is good news for you. A really vast range of opportunities regarding the hustle jobs could be found on the internet. Let’s look at some of the viable options for additional income.

Online market trading

With the increased availability of the internet, now everyone can start investing in financial markets such as currency markets or stocks. If this opportunity sounds appealing to you, bear in mind the first rule of investing “don’t invest more money than you are in a position to lose.” It means that you need to have a specific amount of money set aside just for this purpose. Instead of jeopardizing your everyday budget, you need to create a strategy and trading plan, including the funds allocated specifically for this purpose.

Besides, no need to be a financial and economic expert to excel in trading stocks, currencies, or commodities. You will learn all the perks and pitfalls of the market down the road by starting with free learning resources and practicing on a demo account. The essential thing here is to select a reputable broker. They will guide you through the trading process from basics to start trading for real money. Eventually, everyone can reach the point of making trading stocks or currencies as their steady secondary income source.  

Affiliate marketing

Aside from 9 to 5 jobs, you certainly have some personal interests and passions. So, don’t be shy and share this passion with other people of the same interests as yours. The best way to do it is by writing about what you are incredibly skillful at and bring your personal experience to the wider public. For instance, if you are fond of cycling, that’s a good starting point for the blog about cycling tips encompassing the gear, accessories, bike news, and riding techniques. Beware that the content you write has to be relevant, original, and appealing to your readers. After you have attracted a decent number of readers and subscribers, you can start monetizing your blog by earning a commission every time someone clicks the link from your website or purchases the product or service you recommend.

Consulting and teaching side hustles

Position yourself as a specialist in whatever skill you want and start monetizing your expertise and knowledge. For instance, there are teaching platforms for foreign languages, or you can build your own website offering the services. The consulting services can encompass anything from Languages, project management, social media advertising to financial consulting and accounting. However, before starting out, you need to check what is already on the plate and how other people do it because you have to know the main people’s concerns regarding your consulting niche.

Selling self-crafted products

This option is ideal for artistic souls.. If you are one of them, stop wasting your precious skill and start monetizing it. The most demanded kinds of crafts could be jewelry, handmade tote bags, knitted pullovers, face masks, hand-painted silk scarves, jewelry boxes, and many more. Or, if you are a graphic designer, you could sell your patterns and paint on websites such as Etsy, eBay, or Shopify. 

In Conclusion

These are just our ideas as a ways to earn some side income. But they represent the proven resources for side incomes. It’s of enormous importance not to recoil at the first hassle since trying new paths requires determination and a strong will to succeed.
