(…plus some ones to avoid…)

Recently I’ve read a few articles about how to make money as a side hustle — and some of them strike me as down right ridiculous.

• Make jams.
• Buy and sell things on Ebay (sponsored by Ebay, btw).
• Teach English online.

Ok ok, I love making jam, and a long time ago I did make some money selling my personal possessions on ebay.

But as to turning this into a side hustle, let alone making it a side hustle that you can take with you on the road — making foodstuffs is not a terribly great idea, and while I understand leverage, I don’t really advocate spending quantities of money in order to sell things just to make money.

There’s far better ways to do it.

Here are 5 sources of income that have worked for us, and — because it would only be fair to give the whole picture — I will also cover a few that just haven’t… We tried a few of them as well.

1. Social Media Influencer / Brand Partnership

I’m starting with this one because it’s been the most lucrative to date — it was a complete game changer for me.
