The Hustle – Simplified

Do you feel like you are working your butt off and not getting ahead? Do you feel like no matter what you do at your job, you get skipped over for that promotion? Are you tired of getting paid, paying your bills, and then realizing that you are broke?

As I catch up with my friends from college more and more of them are not using their degrees or working a second and third job in order to keep their heads above water.

I have read articles about the “amazing jobs to make 6 figures working from home” but that is bullshit. Here are some real jobs anyone like you and I can do:

1. Use your car to make money!
   Drive for Uber, Uber eats, Postmates, Lyft, or other local ride-sharing companies. I know this one is obvious, but it needs to be said.
2. Do some freelance work.
   Are you a copywriter, graphic designer, handyman, or help someone do yard work. There are sites like Upwork, Fiverr, home advisor, craigslist, and other sites to pick up side gigs.
3. Start an MLM business.
   Do you love makeup, face cream, or like working out? All of these companies have programs where if you sell their product you can get paid a portion of sales. Check our Rodan and Fields, Avon, or Sports companies.
4. Do odd jobs for people
   Websites like care.com, “gigs” on craigslist, and Fiverr have gigs listed where you can do day work for money.
5. Start a blog
   Are you funny, insightful, know a lot about a topic, or feel like you can be engaging? Start a blog and put Adsense on it. Promote yourself and get people to your site and start earning money!
6. Dog watching or babysitting
   Personally I would rather watch a dog than a child – it’s much easier, but these are extremely easy ways to make that money!

There are countless other ways to make money… all you have to do is get up off that couch from binge-watching weeds and get to work!
