Here we are in the year 2022 and the business trend these days seems to be to have as many streams of income as you can handle. It appears the way to have these streams of income is to have a Side Hustle. My understanding of this is that you have a regular 9 to 5 job, but in addition to that, you have multiple passive income work opportunities. For example, when you are not working your regular job you can do gig work delivering fast food orders to people. You make money from the tips using one of the various delivery company’s apps like door dash, post mates, etc. I have tried this in the past myself and it is a legitimate way to make somewhat small change depending on the hours you are willing to put in. All you need is your car. No filling out applications, sending in resumes, taking tests, going to interviews etc. You just download an app, fill in your personal information and you are ready to go make money on your own time
Another form of side hustle is creating educational courses online. There are companies like Kajabi, Udemy, Skillshare, Teachable and others that have online tools that help you construct and successfully host courses that people pay for. It seems to be very lucrative, but the catch is that if you do not already have an audience you will not make the kinds of money you want... Really, the hardest part about the course creating process is building an email network and then getting your course out there. Most of these companies offer low cost packages for you to start with, but they can get expensive quickly depending on how premium you want your courses to be. Out of all the videos, I have watched on these companies my two favorite tend to be Skillshare and Kajabi. My first shot at trying to build an online course through Kajabi was a fail, but I plan to try again in the future because I am confident that I can make money with an online course.
I am still trying to find my footing in the Side Hustle community. I think I have worked at a normal job so long that I feel lost just trying to find something to do on the side. A second income, especially if it is passive income, would be great. It could help my husband and I pay somethings off and just focus on our home mortgage. Home ownership is also another side hustle that's trending. There are so many real estate gurus out there right now telling people how to acquire a house with little to no money as a down payment
I guess I will end this blog by saying know what it is you are good at. Even though there are hundreds of side hustles you can do, they are not all a good fit. Be aware also that there are scammers in abundance making videos and running people’s finances into the ground. Some of the side hustle gurus will give you information on bogus work opportunities or sites. Doing your due diligence is also is very important right now while this side hustle trend is high.
Covid-19 has changed the world in many ways. What we call normal is no longer the case when it comes to employment and money making opportunities. Having more than one income stream is the new normal. A side hustle is not as easy as it sounds and getting through the shuffle and finding your niche is becoming an art form. I am not going to give up. I know I am right on the tip of tapping into great money making opportunities.
Stay Tuned.
