Updates: My Side Hustles (A List for You Too!)

Eeek! I woke up this morning at 5:00am (not by choice), laid in bed for a bit trying to get back to sleep…with absolutely zero success. So, I finally picked up my phone and checked my emails. Well, there were two of them among the few that stood right out. One was saying “Congrats on your first sale” from Fiverr, and the other was the request for my proofreading services from someone on Fiverr! I just finished creating my profile on there at about 9:00pm last night, and already got my first gig! My side hustles are really starting to pay off, literally. Ok, I may be a tad excited here if you hadn’t noticed. I’m also nervous. Yikes!

As I mentioned previously, one of my other side hustles was selling used books online. These were books I had bought years ago at a thrift store. I had mentioned before that, after putting them online only a week ago, I had already sold two and one was being arranged for pick up a couple days ago, and it ended up getting sold as well. Now I have sold yet a fourth one which I will be shipping out today. I bought 2 more at a thrift store this past weekend, and listed them online, so fingers crossed! I also have some other books and items online too that haven’t sold yet.

So between a bit of success on my side hustles, and a lot of research and time spent on this blog, I am feeling good. It’s a great feeling to set goals for yourself and actually accomplish them. Neither of my side hustles is going to make me rich, but they will help with cash flow and paying things down, little by little. I am determined as all heck to get that first credit card paid off. Just over $400 to go!

In case you are wanting to look into some side hustles of your own, I came across this ginormous list of them over at studentloanhero.com (the side hustles are not just for students though). I wanted to share that with you so you could find one, or two, of your own. But if you do have any skills in the Fiverr categories, I would recommend that to start. You just have to create your account, which is basically selling yourself (bragging rights approved) and you’re good to go.
