Many years ago, I got into self-improvement because I desperately needed to increase my fitness level. From there, I somehow came across Tim Ferris’ The 4- Hour Workweek, which lead me down a long road of trying various online side hustles. Here’s what I tried and how much I earned with each of them up until now.

1. Selling Stock Photos — My First Online Side Hustle

I admit, I didn’t really do this right. This was my first try at making money online and I thought I could sell some of my snapshots. I didn’t do any research and I just uploaded some photos I had already taken to Dreamstime.

One of the 3 photos I uploaded sold twice and I earned a whopping $0.62, which of course I never received — because I didn’t reach the platform’s payout limit. The picture that sold was of a Cenote in Mexico I took during a vacation there.
