In the last year, I have been on a mission to add to our income by looking in to side-hustles. This, optimally, would be something that can be managed in 8-10 hours a week with the possible help of my family. (The family help wouldn't be to torture my family, but instead, would be a way WE could earn cash for the household without being forced to spend any more time away from each other.)
I have looked in to carpet cleaning, auto detailing, selling screen-printed T-Shirts, Uber, growing crickets/bugs to sell to pet shops, and writing a children's book on Amazon (With the help of Maddy's art work!) I have watched youtube video tutorials as well as hit many forums and podcasts to get information on viability/profitability of these different types of ideas.
So far, I have only been inspired to write a small series of Children's books for digital publication on Amazon. The other ideas are fantastic hustles, but they require a time and dollar commitment that reflects more of a full-time hustle. These would all be great ideas if I were laid off or had more time to commit to their success.
I will continue to be curious and learn and search for that little "extra" thing that makes sense to consider. In the mean time, I have been watching less TV/Movies/News and do feel better about myself that I am spending more time on this hunt.
I am concerned that I have spent this time in "analysis" mode and haven't committed to one of the ideas. I need to take the next step and take action to make this research worth the effort. Even if I fail, it would be better than never trying in the first place.
