The best way to make money is by making content about how to make money. I am sick unto death of reading and watching how easy it is to make money online. As someone who does it for her living, let me tell you: it’s not!

Everyone will promise you that you can easily make a large sum of money — $2,000-$5,000 per month, or $300 a day! — just by typing a single word into a form. If you believe the hype, by picking up some quick and simple side hustles you can become a millionaire within a few short weeks. I’ve read so many blog posts, watched so many videos, and seen so many tweets to that effect.

Here is a cold hard nugget of truth you don’t want to hear: it’s not easy, quick, or simple for beginners to start a profitable side hustle. If someone is telling you it is, it’s a side hustle scam.
