Everyone of us at some point in our life think about doing something extra to earn some money. This extra is known as the side hustle. It could be anything like starting some small business alongside your job or investing in real estate or in stock market. But most of the time we just keep on thinking instead of actually doing something. In this overthinking we lose some of the opportunities to get some extra money in our pocket. One of the reason for this overthinking is that we are not sure whether it will be beneficial or not . In this blog I will talk about some important things to know about the side hustle.
Some of us think that we can’t do anything alongside our job. We think that because our job takes up all our time or we don’t have energy to do anything else. This thinking stops most of us to achieve something we always dreamt of. Whether its freedom of our time or desire to spend money freely. With the help of side hustle we can explore different types of work and that work can turn out to be more satisfying and rewarding than our current job.

3. Nothing is free
You may have seen or read about start earning free from online platforms. Let me tell you there is no absolute free method to earn online. If you are thinking of starting a business then you will definitely need some money to get started. You need money to invest in stock market. If you want to write a blog, you have to buy a domain and hosting name first before you start.
You may say that starting a youtube channel is free which is true but I think that is true only if you have a smartphone and a laptop or computer. I said laptop because unless you are very good in editing and you can do it on your phone you will definitely need a laptop that can help you.
Only free way to earn online is doing an affiliate marketing. You can do that on your facebook or instagram page but earning from affiliate marketing can be difficult for the beginners. It will require a help from your friends and followers in order for you to earn your first income.
These are some important things in my opinion that you need to know before you start your side hustle. I think its best if you do something in the side that can help you in making some money for yourself. If you find this information helpful do share it with more people.
