A side hustle is an occupation that brings in extra money, beyond one’s main source of income. A side hustle can become later on the main source of income, and thus stops being considered as a side hustle.

3- Youtube videos : May take years to actually make money. Money comes from ads and sponsorship.
4- Blogging: Also will take years to make any money.
5- Freelancing: You can become a freelancer and offer Voiceover, video reviews, copy-writing, etc … Competition is tough, but the demand is there.
6- Gig Economy: You can join one of the different food delivery startups, uber like companies, etc … and choose to provide your service for a certain amount of time per day or certain days in the week.
