Page Quitting your job to start a business can be tricky…especially when you're unsure about the results. That said, your 9-5 jobs won't make you financially independent.

Unless, of course, you're a CEO of an MNC.

This is where side hustles appear in the picture. It will amp up your income and pave the way for a promising job. And, you'll still have the security and safety of a full-time job.

Now, the question arises: How to start and manage a side hustle with your existing job? We've answered this question with some best hacks.

Identify what you want to do

Do you love music and love playing an instrument? You can teach music online. And if you're great at writing, you can choose to be a freelance writer. You can create an online course of virtually anything you're good at.

Other things you can do include:

  1. Graphic designing
  2. Online tutoring
  3. Sell stuff on Amazon or other stores
  4. Create YouTube videos
  5. Social media marketing

Learn about these skills online

The internet is overflowing with educational videos. You can learn A-Z about anything we have discussed above. Most of the beginner-level videos and articles are FREE. You can acquire in-depth knowledge by taking small and economical courses on Udemy, Coursera, and other sites.

Be active on social media

Create a fresh set of social media accounts where your coworkers (AND YOUR BOSS) aren't connected with you. Keep posting informative content daily about the side hustle you've chosen. This tells the world you are an expert. Getting freelancing projects and other opportunities becomes easier.

Use your travel time

If you use public transport or a cab/auto…use your travel time for the side hustle. You can learn the skills on your way to the office or start doing small tasks related to your new work. Many freelance people use this time strategically rather than scrolling social media sites.

Tell people in your network…

Of course, you shouldn't tell the coworkers about this side work to the coworkers (unless they are 100% trustworthy). Tell others in your network via WhatsApp or give a call. You can contact people from your previous job for this purpose.

Learn from the competitors

Understand what other players in your field are doing. Add your TWIST to it to stand out fromthe crowd. Don't forget to mention what differentiates you from the others in your profiles.

Pro Tip: Get FEEDBACK from each customer to get more clients and work.

Don't get FIRED

Many newbies make this mistake: they start doing their personal work during their office job. It can prove disastrous if someone finds out. This is why doing your new work in the office is a strict NO-NO.

Avoid time wastage

Set a dedicated time to do your work. It could be 8 PM – 10 PM daily. Ensure there are no distractions during that period. Tell your family about the same.

Use the right platforms to find the gigs

This could include social media platforms and WhatsApp. You can also use this portal to find more opportunities for your side hustle.
