We all know that working a job levels us with an income, and this can provide the backbone to our financial life. However, working on the side and gaining systematized additional income can also be an incredibly wise practice. It’s not always apparent exactly how we should do this, however, as there are a million ways to make money, and not all of them are so friendly in the time investment they demand.
Systematizing your side income takes patience, wisdom and an ability to seek opportunity, but if you’re able to do so you have a great opportunity to earn more than you might have ever done before.
Skills
Working as a side freelancer can help you develop your side income while working your main career in a professional capacity. For example, if you work as a professional in one industry during the day, then you might be able to monetize advice by consulting with people unfamiliar to the industry. This might not sound like a systematized income, but it can be. Crafting a monthly digest of the work you have conducted, referring those into non-specific case stories that still yield use, and wisely avoiding giving away insider information by talking in generalities that still count could allow for a monthly or weekly resource available as a product on your consulting website, or one you offer personally.
This has a limited time cost, as you’re simply repeating insights you have gained and recently experienced. This can also serve as a powerful tool to reflect on your performance, which serves you a double purpose. Many professionals work as consultants, and in this capacity you can gain solid income providing solid help without a solid working investment.
Investing Apps
We all know that investing in stock is always a wise thing to do. It can mean that in the future, we have the options of a relatively sizable payout, perfect for when retirement comes or you have a large purchase requirement in the future. If you purchase as part of a business, this stock could be considered a variable asset. A great way of systematizing this from a personal level is to use investment apps.
These apps, such as those explored in this Acorns Vs Betterment article, can round off your purchases to the nearest dollar and invest your funding based on certain parameters you have set. If you have already approved of a stock, or you’re willing to take on the advice of those who professionally manage the app, then you could truly systematize your income potential for a large payout down the road. It’s certainly a wise, quick and painless way to invest your money.
Property
Of course, we all know that property is the easiest way to systematize income, but there is for sure a large investment cost. Or is there? It can be instructive for someone to rent a room they have to spare. Let’s say you have your own home, but the entire basement floor complete with guest bedroom and en suite are being unused. Why not routinely vet applications and have someone living downstairs? If you haven’t a family, this can be a great way to generate a little cash from that environment. Better yet, you might be able to bring a friend down to try and increase the atmosphere of your home. Be sure to set a reasonable price and before long a solid monthly installment will be yours for the taking!
With these tips, your income should be a little more friendly to your needs.
