Run a side hustle from your smartphone 📱

Let’s look at some ways you can do that:

1. Become a content evaluator. That entails analyzing images and video and providing feedback. 💭

2. Participate in surveys or market research. Your honest opinions are worth a lot to some!

3. Work as a social media manager. Create content using an app like Canva and upload it to your client’s pages. 🎨

4. Sell stuff you don’t want. Make use of trade-in programs and online marketplaces.

5. Become a mobile gamer. Did you know you can livestream from your smartphone?

How to manage a side hustle while working full time

Balancing a side hustle with full-time employment can be tricky. Tricky, but not impossible.

With some strategic planning, effective time management and a high level of dedication, there are plenty of ways to manage both — without losing your mind or succumbing to burnout. 💪

1. Establish a schedule. Allocate specific time slots each day or week dedicated solely to your side hustle. Consistency is key.

2. Prioritize tasks. Identify and focus on high-priority tasks that drive progress within the time available.

3. Set realistic goals. Break down larger goals into smaller, achievable milestones to make progress steadily. 📈

4. Create to-do lists. Plan tasks in advance, enabling a smooth transition between your job and side hustle, without wasting time deciding what to do next.

5. Use downtime. Make use of breaks or commute time for smaller tasks or for brainstorming ideas.

6. Set boundaries. Communicate your side hustle commitments with family and friends, ensuring uninterrupted work during dedicated hours.

7. Practice self-care. Dodge burnout by incorporating self-care activities into your day, as well as exercise and adequate rest. 🙌

8. Keep learning. Enhance your efficiency by learning additional skills that could streamline processes in both your job and your side hustle.

9. Delegate tasks. When feasible, consider outsourcing or delegating tasks that don’t require your direct involvement.

10. Stay flexible. Be prepared to adapt your schedule if unexpected job or side hustle demands arise.

11. Perform regular evaluations. Assess progress regularly, adjust strategies, and be willing to pivot if necessary.
