I’ll be talking about how I got into a side hustle and what it takes to be successful with one.
I got started from friendly referrals and liked everything about it.
First was the personal development you go through with a team on the same goals.
It became more fun after learning the training it takes to make sales in my business.
It was training that I could take with me wherever I go.
This was a focus I got into shortly after college.
Some teams proved themselves to be lucrative and worth participating in.
I’ll be getting into a few side hustles you might consider in pursuit of expanding your income.
You can also expect a few mindset related adjustments you have to execute for best results.
Let’s look at the question again.
How did I get into a Side Hustle?
First it takes picking a side hustle.
There’s so many good opportunities but it’s gonna come down to picking one and trusting the process.
Eventually you can make finding a hustle that fits you best a goal in the future.
With this plan in mind I also address starting a hustle from scratch as well.
2 Side Hustle Ideas
Wealthy Affiliate Bootcamp
I would recommend Wealthy Affiliate for anybody trying to get started in Digital Marketing.
They have a community of millions that are scattered globally.
You get direct one on one training with the founders that’s been in business over 20 years.
Any questions you have will easily get answered by one of the active members that’s serving constantly.
There’s also a ticket system where maintenance will even answer a more technical question you may have.
Go ahead and make an account if you’re serious about joining a family of individuals dedicated to your success.
Social Media Sales Rep
Next is getting paid to be on Facebook and other popular social media sites.
Paying Social Media Jobs is a side hustle that could pay weekly or monthly.
They’re a job that boats paying their reps anywhere from $25-50 an hour working with them.
All of it’s working from home and can be done in your free time.
They’re accepting immediate applications at this moment.
All you do is take a 1 minute quiz to find what platform would be best for you to start with.
After you complete you pick the package that fits your liking.
When all of that’s done you can get started immediately.
There’s no pressure on when to get started but you can after joining.
Get Paid To Use Facebook. Any Social Media You Can Think Of.
Everybody wants to get paid to be on Facebook. Here’s your chance with paying commissions.
It’s closer to freelancing your existing knowledge of social media in general.
You’re expected to complete what’s considered basic tasks on behalf of another company.

I always have a general rule of thumb in where if you can talk about your hustle casually it’ll work.
You’re gonna be doing plenty of talking about the subject when you’re educating a prospect.
This is where you get honest with yourself in committing to a hustle you see going far.
It’s a belief that you will be reinforcing daily.
How to start a side hustle?
Your ability to start a side hustle is dependent on being able to invest money and time in your efforts.
You can earn money without putting any into the hustle but things move faster if you have money to spend.
I actually speak more on this topic in this article: Why Does Everyone Have a Side Hustle?
Money buys the tools you need to turn your brand into an independently operated business.
A marketer has tools the same way a plumber would have tools to make their job easier.
There’s automation tools that some of the top marketers openly use for success with their brand.
Think of the microphones that need to be upgraded for the sake of presenting a quality product.
It can be seen as an investment game because you’re spending money on a safe return ideally.
