Humans are social creatures by nature. That’s a biological fact.

This fundamental truth has given rise to an entire industry focused on fulfilling our need to interact with others – and no, we’re not referring to social media!

The burgeoning field of online friendship presents a unique and potentially lucrative side hustle, offering you the opportunity to earn an income simply by engaging in conversation. Each client interaction may vary in scope, but the overarching goal remains constant: to provide support and companionship to those who need it.

In this newsletter, we’ll explore how you can take your listener skills and empathy and use them to the benefit of your bank account!

Years ago, when I first began my side hustle, I loved it.

I was driven and passionate, and I threw myself into my work, dedicating countless hours and energy towards making it a success.

I was always pushing myself to do more, to be better, and to achieve my goals.

However, as time went on, I started to feel more and more exhausted.

Despite getting enough sleep and taking care of myself, I felt like I was running on empty.

Suddenly I struggled to find joy in my work and even simple tasks seemed insurmountable.

Despite all of this, I didn’t think I had burnout. I thought I just needed a break or to push through it.

One of the worst things you can experience as a side hustler is burnout.

When we’re building a side hustle, we’re often working long hours and dedicating a lot of our time and energy to something that may not be generating much income yet. This can be a recipe for burnout.

Burnout is a state of mental, physical, and emotional exhaustion that can happen when we are overworked, undervalued, and disconnected from our sense of purpose.

That’s why it’s so important to recognize the early warning signs of burnout and take steps to prevent it so that you can continue having fun while building your side hustle without sacrificing your mental well-being.

And in this newsletter, we’ll help you do just that!

Podcasts have exploded in popularity over the past two decades, giving individuals and businesses a platform to share their ideas, experiences, and stories with a global audience.

And the best part? Starting a podcast is relatively easy, making it a great side hustle for anyone with a unique perspective and something to say.

In this week’s newsletter, we’ll delve into the benefits of starting a podcast, how to determine if it’s the right side hustle for you, the opportunities that can come with a successful podcast, and more.

Everyone has an idea that they would love to turn into a book, but maybe you feel like you don’t have what it takes to make it a reality.

And I don’t blame you, even I felt that way about starting my own website. Even after I achieved success with it, I was hesitant about becoming an author.

And yet knowing what I know now I can say that writing a book is not about your writing skills, it’s about your message. A good message can turn an idea into an excellent business opportunity.

This week, we’ll discuss the benefits of writing your own book, because quite frankly, everyone should do it!

YouTube is an interesting beast unlike any other, and a clear example of the kind of promise that the internet brought.

Here was a company that became an industry giant in a few years, and it gave other people the chance to become stars of their own.

These days, it seems like everyone has a YouTube channel, and there’s a channel for everything. Heck, I have one too!

But with so much content out there, is YouTube still a good platform for people looking to grow their side hustle? And more importantly, should you start a YouTube Channel of your own?

That’s what we’ll discuss in this newsletter!

When people think of a side hustle, their minds often gravitate towards influencers, online stores, photography, or graphic designers. But there’s one job in the gig industry that’s becoming more popular than ever, and that’s freelance writing.

In many ways, the internet as we know it was built on the back of the first online freelance writers. People writing on their blogs about their lives and stories, which eventually lead to the type of content creation that we use today.

But is freelance writing still a viable side hustle in 2023? Yes, yes it is.

And if you want to know why, you should check out this newsletter!

If you are not familiar with my story, then you should know that blogging has always been a core component of how I became who I am today. The side hustle that I started in 2009 as a passion project has grown to become a massive beast.

But that was a long time ago. The state of blogging isn’t the same today as what it was back in that time. It’s even better.

If you are wondering whether blogs can still be a great side hustle, the answer is a resounding yes. Even if the blog environment is more competitive than ever, the blog industry has equally grown to be just as profitable.

And inside this newsletter, we share with you all the reasons why blogging is still a great side hustle.

Back in 2008, I needed a way to make money.

I was in between jobs at the time, which is just another way to say I didn’t have one. As I tried to figure out what I could do, I noticed that social media was growing at a dramatic rate, and that it gave you the power to publish whatever you wanted.

And that’s how my side hustle was born. I started my website back in 2009 with a $10 investment and a lot of passion, but it wouldn’t be until a year later that it would really take off. During that time, I worked really hard, even waking up in the middle of the night just to post.

What I’m trying to say is that while side hustles can be incredibly rewarding, they require a lot of effort. This makes it crucial that you know exactly what you are getting into when you choose a side hustle, and that you know how to choose the right one.

And that’s exactly what we’ll reveal inside this newsletter.

There’s this myth circulating that eLearning is exclusive to academic subjects. And as always, your friendly neighborhood side hustlers are here to bust it.

There’s an online course for everything now.

Computer and technology are currently the most in-demand subject for online courses, but people are interested in more than just the nerdy stuff. Cell phone repair, video editing, and podcast production are popular subject for online courses, too.

Arts and crafts are the third most profitable online courses—isn’t that the most delightful surprise? What does this tell you, dear side hustlers?

Selling online courses can be a profitable side hustle for people who don’t have the time to commit to running their own full-time business.

You read that right.

Inside this newsletter we spill the beans on the whys and wherefores of selling online courses.
