Finding the Best Side Hustles That Pay Well
Sometimes to hit your goal faster, you just have to earn extra money.
Of course that’s not the only thing you’re doing.
If you’ve taken my Free 5 Days to $5K course, then you know we look at three pillars when it comes to ‘finding’ money.
First we optimize your budget, evaluating expenses to see if they are necessary or they bring you joy.
Second, we uncover ways to save when you have to spend.
But finally we also look at the other side of the coin – earning more money.
Now the easy advice to give is to get a second job, but that’s usually not the best solution, especially if you have kids or other limitations with time or location.
This is where side hustles can help. You can earn more with a bit more flexibility. However it can be tricky because the ones usually advertised are not that well paying.
You have to be strategic when finding a side hustle that allows you to earn more without burning you out.
Which is why I’m so glad Jen Smith is on today.
