Coming up with your side-hustle short list

You’re all-in on the side hustle game — or at least the concept. But how do you even get started?

You can do an online search for “best side hustles” or “side-hustle ideas” or a similar term, and you’ll wind up with hundreds of results, many containing dozens of ideas. How do you make sense out of this information overload? How do you find the needle in the haystack: the side hustle that’s a great fit for you?

Fortunately, you can follow a methodical, step-by-step process that will help you narrow down thousands of different side-hustle ideas into a small subset that matches your interests, abilities, and goals. Specifically, you need to consider and evaluate

 Various topical areas available to you to focus on for your side hustle

 How to flesh out and add substance to your initial topical area

 Various venues or formats through which you can enter the side-hustle game

 How your side hustle should relate to your full-time job or career or possibly other side hustles that you already have underway

 Financial considerations on both the moneymaking and money-spending side of your side hustle

 Time considerations, including the highly valued — and often misunderstood — concept of “passive income”

 Whether you need special skills, training, or licensing for your side hustle

You can then mash the results of each of these areas together, and — presto — that overwhelming list of hundreds or thousands of side-hustle ideas is now magically narrowed down for you to make your final side-hustle decisions.
