There are hundred ofside hustleshustles out there, from freelance writing to DoorDashing.
Since high school, I’ve tried more than20 different ways to earn extra income.
Others paid well, like when I earned $100 an hour as a freelance web developer.
But I’m focused on using my expertise to simplify my schedule.
That tactic keeps my side hustle income flowing without causing burnout.
Over time, myside hustleshave helped me pay off$40,000 in debt.
Here’s what I recommend based on my own experience.
If you prefer to work from home, you might choose something similar to your remote job.
It pays to have a side hustle that seamlessly fits into your day-to-day life without becoming a burden.
If you package your services correctly, these tend to pay better than one-off gigs.
I’ve found that one-off gigs can be tough to negotiate for a higher amount.
However, single-project assignments may still be helpful for making extra cash quickly and boosting your experience.
Slowly, I increased my rate with each new client until I got more comfortable negotiating.
Be mindful of your client’s budget and terms in your contract.
I could no longer say “yes” to every opportunity and had to be more selective.
It took me a while to find a good balance.
I had to let some side hustles go to make room for higher-paying gigs and clients.
