Want to know the best thing I ever did for my money?
I stopped waiting for a raise at work.
Instead, I started side hustles to supplement my 9-to-5 income. You can do the same.
Only one in four American adults have a side hustle. This gap presents a massive opportunity.
Today, I’ll show you my exact method for finding the right side hustle.
❗BONUS: Make sure to read until the end as I’ll share a freebie to help you out.
Actual Side Hustles
The reality is, your first attempt likely won’t make you thousands. I personally tried multiple methods until I found hustles that worked.
Here are the key questions I wish I’d asked myself before starting:
What Are You Good At?
Weightlifting, Drawing, Investing, Plumbing? What skills do people ask you about? Ideally, you can incorporate these into your side hustle choice.
Is There a Market?
This should be an early question. If no one is buying what you’re creating or doing, it’s impossible to scale.
Online or In-Person?
Opening your laptop and making millions in pajamas sounds appealing, but it’s rarely realistic. Some of the best side hustles require face-to-face interaction.
How Much Time Do You Have?
If you’re in medical school or raising four kids, you’ll have less availability than someone who’s single in their mid-20’s.
How Easy is it to Start?
Generally, if you can start something in 5 minutes using ChatGPT, it’s probably oversaturated and not going to work.
💸 Side Hustle Tracking

Side Hustle Income Tracker
(Just click ‘File’ then ‘Make a copy’ to use.)
Beyond this tracker, I recommend opening a business bank account to separately record side hustle income and expenses. This makes tax filing easier and avoids confusion with your personal budget.
To do this, I’ve been using Novo for three years — click below to try it out!
