A side hustle is like a part time job but different. A side hustle is something you actually enjoy doing and you are very skilled at it. You may have heard the term "Gig Economy" thrown around a lot in social media. Side Hustles fuel the gig economy. In a lot of cases, a side hustle has become a main and lucrative source of income for many people. Here are some examples of side hustles you can do based on skill categories.
*Always do your research to find the best option for you! 😉*

Dropshipping – Order fulfillment service. It is my understanding that you are a salesperson with this method. A salesperson that gets to choose the products they want to sell. You purchase products that you are interested in selling from suppliers like Alibaba.com, Wish.com, Aliexpress.com, etc.). You then advertise these products with your design (or the manufacturer´s design) in your own stores on Etsy.com, Shopify.com, Sellfy.com, Wix.com, Squarespace.com, Amazon.com, etc. You send your products to the distributor (Amazon for example) to hold your products in their warehouse. You set your price in the stores and the distributor that you´ve chosen will take their fee and ship the product to the customer once you have made the sale. You can choose to send the product to the customer´s yourself if you want to make it personal and special.

Many people get creative with dropshipping and sell custom T-Shirts, mugs, etc. Other people are less ambitious and sell the same products others sell. There is more time and effort involved in this Side Hustle. Do your research to see if this is right for you!*
