Topic | the term "side hustle" makes me gag. |
Aaantlion 12/01/19 6:26:15 PM #16: | It's a useful term, although I can't say that I've ever liked how it sounds. It conjures images of youths selling stolen electronics, etc, in parking lots. Judgmenl posted... It's a term that business influencers use to describe a side gig separate from your "real job." A side hustle shouldn't be confused with a second job and the term goes far beyond "business influencers." You can have a second job where it's not a side hustle, it's just called a second job. Side hustles tend to be more entrepreneurial in nature and capable of scaling. And, for the most part, I'm not sure that you can really count "social media influencer" as a side hustle since most of them don't actually make money or, in many cases, even get comped product. If you're doing something in your spare time and not making money for it, it's not a "side hustle," it's something called a "hobby." Back when I blogged in my spare time, I got more comped product than a lot of "social media influencers" (highest in a single month was maybe $2k in comped product), but I never thought of it as a job or side hustle, that was just a hobby even when I was making money from it. As such, it's not something I even have on my resume. iToro86 posted... My side hustle is owning a business that I run from my home making $.30 sents a month from because I'm an ENTREPRENEUR. I wear suits my parents bought for me to look like I'm successful and all my social media bios say I'm an independent business owner and CEO of my business. 1) It's spelled "cents" 2) If you already have "$.30," saying "cents" is redundant anyway Judgmenl posted... retro_9980 posted...My side hustles are the Field Agent app and Amazon Mechanical Turk. The extra $3000ish per year so far helps out a lot. Use 9wgcy6b in Field Agent as who invited you if youre feeling generous. So what you're saying is because you don't want to make extra money, the idea of a side hustle is illegitimate for everybody else? >_> And having a side source of income is a always a nice additional safety net if you ever lose your $100k/year job, especially since unemployment pays out next to nothing. --- (\/)(\/)|-| Scientists are finally waking up to what pyramids have known all along. ...
