Hello dear friend,
Welcome to a brand new edition of Be Your Best Friend with Anangsha - the weekend newsletter that constantly keeps seeking new ways to keep bettering itself.
Today, I want to talk about side hustles and the amazing transformative power they have.
In 2019, I started a small side hustle of writing online. It barely paid 1000 INR (about $15 USD) a month, but I kept doing it because I loved it. The extra money was always a nice incentive to pamper myself.
Three years later, that side hustle has become my full-time job that pays more than 12x of what my previous day job’s salary used to pay.
Of course, your side hustles don’t have to become career choices later on.
But if you want to earn some extra money by sitting in the comfort of your home, you've come to the right place.
I made a video about five unique and interesting side hustles you can start in 2022 that will start paying you money immediately.
Summarizing, here are the five side hustles you can start in 2022:
Start a service-based online business.
Become a pet sitter (an added perk of incredible company for animal lovers).
Start a newsletter. You can make money in three broad ways:
Begin a subscription model,
Sell ad space in your newsletter,
Set up affiliate links that you know your target audience would enjoy. More details on monetizing your newsletter here.
Sell or resell crafts on Instagram, Etsy, Shopify, or just about any other social media platform.
