| Increase your income by doing what you love. |
The first part of the Magical Formula for Financial Successincludes maximizing your income. Yes, I’m recommending you get some side gigs.
This doesn’t have to be a chore, though! I’ve done a number of random, crazy,
fun jobs on the side for extra cash. My dad always said that Jay Leno taughthim something about making money. Jay made a comment once on his show about how
you should try to pay your bills with your hobbies. This has stuck with me and
I’ve tried to live by it. Here are some ways to start making money with a fun
side-hustle.
My Money-Making Hobbies
Freelance Social Media
Contractor – I create social media campaigns for companies to increase their
audience engagement, awareness and website traffic.
Zumba and Pound Fitness
Instructor – For 4 years now, I have been teaching Zumba while going to
school. This one not only makes me money, but it keeps me in shape. I know
Weekend Photo Booths – Whenever my contact needs me,
I will take a few hours out of my Friday or Saturday night to set up and run a
photo booth at weddings or events. I get to work with some cool people, I get
delicious catered food and it’s an easy hundred dollars just for giving up one
night. I highly recommend finding an opportunity like this in your area.
