- Having a solid side hustle
is one of the best ways to start building
multiple streams of income,
and to start to not only take away from your day job
but also to just get to a much more comfortable place
with your lifestyle while you're doing your nine to five.
So today I'm gonna break down
kind of some really great advice for beginners
who are looking to start a side hustle
and wanna know that they're not going to
be exhausted and struggling.
I want us to get to like a healthy version
of hustle, 'cause I really believe
that if you decide that you're gonna sign up
for a season of hustle,
you can avoid a lifetime of hardship.
Let's get into the video.
Hey everybody, this is Roberto Blake
helping you create something awesome today.
So today let's talk about side hustles for beginners.
And let's look at the fact that you're still
at your nine to five job.
Let's make this as realistic as possible.
Use some common sense.
So the first thing we have to figure out
is how much actual time you can invest
into these side hustles to make any kind of money.
We also need to address having as little costs
to do any of this as possible.
And so for beginners
I'm gonna focus on things that require time
and almost no money.
Side hustles that might be $0.
We also have to look at your energy
because you've been working
your nine to five, you put in your 40, 50,
or even 60 hours for the week.
So again this gotta be realistic.
Let's start with something really simple usertesting.com.
usertesting.com is a website where
you can help people make websites or make mobile apps
understand whether or not their user interface sucks
or whether it's a good user experience.
That's why it's called UserTesting.
Typically you can make 15
even up to $25 depending on the user test that you do.
Now, this is actually really competitive
and there may not be a lot of available test
whenever you're free from work
or you're on your lunch break.
And a lot of times there's not
as many available tests on the weekend.
So this could be something that is challenging
but at least it is an opportunity to make some extra income.
And it doesn't require you to have any real special skills.
You just need access to the internet in order to do this.
And so it's gonna cost you $0.
Now another convenient side hustle for beginners
is to go into something where you're selling products.
Print On Demand is really cool.
And basically we're talking about,
printing up t-shirts and being able to sell them.
Back in the day you used to have to buy
a screen printing machine
and then sell at the flea market
or like Daymond John with FUBU
sell out of the trunk of your car.
You also used to have the upfront cost
of having to buy that
screen printing machine,
buy the shirts, and hoodies wholesale.
And you'd also have a lot of bad runs
where you just messed up the shirts.
But today you can use websites
like Teespring and Spreadshirt.
Also another great tool for you.
If you're doing any kind of print on demand service.
is going to be placeit.net.
I'm gonna link to all of these resources by the way,
in the description down below
so that you can do all of this stuff.
But I really think that these things could help you
because at least if you're doing print on demand
and get paid more than once.
I've done an entire video
on selling t-shirts online and how to make money doing it.
I'm gonna link to that in the info card here
and in the description down below.
Now it's important to realize
that none of this stuff is going to make you rich.
This stuff is just going to make you
a little bit more comfortable
and add some cash into your pockets
on top of your nine to five job.
So that you can be a little bit less stressed out.
Most people in America don't have $1,000 in savings.
This could help you build that emergency fund.
It could also help you save up
for a piece of gear or equipment
that you know will help you to make more money
in the future and not have to take away
or risk not paying any of your current bills.
So that's why this is just about being realistic.
I'm not telling you that you're gonna be able
to start making money in your sleep overnight.
That doesn't happen.
Now, if you think
that you are entertaining and you have what it takes
you obviously could start a YouTube channel
as a side hustle with just a smartphone
that you already have.
Famous YouTuber MrBeast got to 200,000 subscribers
with just his smartphone.
Janelle Eliana also knows the Vanlife Girl
made her first viral videos with just an iPhone.
And the new iPhone 12 which
I'm gonna be talking about more and more on the channel
for content creators is actually one of the best devices
I've ever seen when it comes to content creation.
And it's infinitely better
than the first camera I had when I made my YouTube videos.
So YouTube can be a really lucrative side hustle.
However, you're probably not gonna make money
off of it in the first 30 days or even the first 90 days.
So just be in mind
that you have to have realistic expectations about that.
It usually takes years to be successful on YouTube.
Only a few people ever blow up.
There are a lot of people who actually use their smartphone
and they are participating in the gig economy
doing things like Uber, DoorDash, Uber Eats,
or even things like rover.com,
where they help people walk their dogs
or care for their dogs.
There's also things like Instacart.
A lot of my friends
actually have made some really cool videos
about these particular type of side hustles.
You can go check out my friend Elijah
from The App Lifestyle
or my friend Reezy Resells.
And you can see
that there are all kinds of opportunities for you.
If you just give it a chance.
And this is something that you can do
with your nights and weekends.
I don't want you to overwork
but I do think that sometimes
if you give up your leisure time
and you give up buying luxuries
you can have leverage later
that lets you get out of working a job that you hate.
You just have to also combine that
with not buying things you don't need
to impress people you don't like.
Now, if you're like me and you have some creative skills
you can put those things to work by going to fiverr.com.
And I've had some,
not kind things in the past to say about fiverr.com,
but in a bad economic time
and in a place where Fiverr exists
I think you should be taking advantage of it.
And I think that it's actually come a long way
from those early videos I made
being very critical of the platform.
Everything tends to improve over time
if it's given a chance to.
And sometimes when you give that criticism,
people take it to heart
and then they improve from the feedback.
Now, what I would recommend is you look at gigs
that you are suited to and that match your skills
but also are not gonna take a lot of time
and be very stressful for you.
Also, something that you enjoy doing
it doesn't have to be something as crazy as say,
graphic design or video editing.
There's actually really great opportunities
for fun things like voice acting,
and also just narrating for some people,
for things like their audio books
or for an ad that they're making.
There's also really cool things like doing green screen.
So this is something that I think
more of you should look into
and you should think outside the box
in terms of those opportunities.
So if you wanna sign up for Fiverr or
even for something you're doing if you wanna hire people
on Fiverr so that you can save some time
and make more money, then I'm gonna link to that
in the description down below as well.
Remember, you can do a healthy version of hustle,
be realistic about how much time you have.
And remember that you can give up
some of your leisure activities and hobbies that cost money
and that will actually save you money
to be able to use to make more money.
And you can also take that same time and use it as leverage.
And if you do this long enough
and you're patient, you might find yourself
in a situation where you're not nearly as stressed
and don't feel as much financial pressure are struggling.
Because it's very unlikely, especially in these trying times
that your boss is gonna give you a raise
but you can give yourself a raise
by picking up a healthy side hustle.
