A side hustle is any type of employment or source of income that is in addition to your full-time job. It is not typically the same thing as a part-time job and often provides more freedom than a part-time position. It is an additional source of income that you bring in during your spare time that can help you save money, get out of debt and reach other financial goals that your full-time job alone does not support.
Here are a few ideas that you can look into doing while still in full-time employment. Some may even turn into careers which you can transfer into if they are financially viable & you love doing them.
Just some additional words of wisdom before you look over this list…
- Never start extra work without checking it’s not in competition/breach of your contract with your employer.
- Ensure you only take on work/start a business that you have the time & energy for.
- Make sure you have a support network you can chat to when you need some advice or just someone to listen.
- If extra work is causing you stress or you are feeling overwhelmed or burnt out, then stop! The money is not worth your health, relationships or your sanity.
- Only take on something you would generally enjoy doing – think about your hobbies, passions & what you are good at. What makes your smile?
- I suggest choosing 3-5 of these that appeal to you and then doing as much research as possible on them, find people doing this work on LinkedIn & ask some advice before taking the plunge.
- Never invest your savings into this unless you feel its worthwhile, but at the same time taking small risks sometimes really pays off. Taking calculated & educated risks is how you should approach this.
