Why is this word so persecuted among Creators?

Side Hustle is a personal project that is not related to formal work, it provides a series of opportunities where self-employed people can delve into other areas, putting their creativity to work and earning extra income.

Having a Side Hustle has become a trend among autonomous professionals looking to explore new areas, and exercise creativity.

"The simplest definition of Side Hustle is a personal project that goes beyond work activities." Having a Side Hustle is simply reaching the other level of skillful creativity through an ambitious personal project.

Why is Side Hustle Trending Among Creators?

Side Hustle is trending among Creators because it brings several career advantages and develops distinctive skills.

Having a Side Hustle gives you greater creative freedom, a freedom that allows you to put all your skills into practice, something that would not be possible in a corporate organization because of internal rules that limit employees to exercising only one skill and limit any other skill that is opportune and can very well be executed.

With a Side Hustle you have extra income, everything extra comes on top of your official income, so it always comes to the advantage of your pocket. Extra income is the ideal instrument for financial health when you want to create future opportunities to develop gigantic personal projects.

Can Side Hustle be the future of Employment?

I'm not the right person to say this, but we are coming into a time when autonomous professionals holding diverse skills, will be the main performers of basic and emerging services in the world markets. We practically experienced this in 2020 while the world was confined. Companies were forced to bring their offices at home, people were working Home Office, and this not only became a worldwide trend but brought a new vision for entrepreneurs that from then on, many companies founded corporate branches that are 100% cloud-based, with employees scattered in the four corners of the planet. Professionals of the last line, professionals who don't know each other personally, but are united together making the world economy flow in a consistent way.

Side Hustle is a trend, especially for those who love to diversify their sources of extra income. Most creators have more than one source of income, so most of them are using more than one skill to generate income in various areas of the web.

Can I start my own Side Hustle?

Of course, you can start your own Side Hustle, what you need is just to analyze areas of interest and skills. Working on something you are passionate about will never put you off; working on what we love makes us great doers because we execute our work with the utmost care and dedication using creativity to its full potential.

You will also need to create a business plan. A business plan will define exactly where you are going and where you are going. Once you have identified the areas of your interest and your skills, you only need the business plan, because that plan will define how that area will be managed in personal development. Such planning is totally fundamental for success.

Meet professionals in the chosen area and ask for advice from veterans, this way you will be exchanging experiences and gaining a lot from those who have been in the area longer and dominating the market. Research the market you are involved in, manage your time to ensure the highest possible productivity.
