I have written a lot about my ebook business, you can find all related articles here —

  1. Amazon KDP
  2. Freelancing (Fiverr)
  3. Ebooks/Gumroad

I haven’t shared much about my side hustles businesses. And the main reason is that I haven’t reached my goals yet.

My goal is to make $1k from each but haven’t crossed any of those in ANY side hustle yet. Not because it cannot be achieved. Every side hustle I will mention here is actually the one that can be scaled beyond $3k per month.

Some reasons why I am lacking behind —

I am not consistent at all. The last time I worked on my Instagram music store was 3 weeks back!

I promised to pay more attention to it this year but I failed.

My Tips to Make Extra Money Outside of Your 9–5 Job

  1. Take advantage of online media — It’s free and you can start without any prior knowledge. I mostly stick with blogs and YouTube but that’s completely up to you.
  2. Start with a $0 Investment —Never ever pay before you earn. This is not the stock market! first, make $10, and invest $1 back into your business. then earn $100 and invest $10 back into you business and so on.
  3. Consistency will always win — I have seen people making $10k per month through their side hustles and all have one thing in common. They worked every single day.
  4. Quality never fails — Go slow and pay attention to the quality. Your backlist soon will make you money in the future.
  5. Expand network — Engage here is the key.

Writing, I think is the easiest one out there. But its just because I love writing. I can do this from the comfort of my own and start with $0 investment.
