Do you still remember how you felt when you got your current job? I mean the feeling of fulfillment that you are now financially independent.
I know you probably called your friends and relatives, telling them about your new job.

You certainly had a mental image of how your life will be so easy… Like buying a car in 5 months, getting married after a year… blah blah blah.
Smile (Shaking my head)! Things like that mostly work in Nollywood and Zee World...

What happened after the next three months? Reality dawn on you right? It became clear to you that your salary is just a chicken feed... Lol!

You are always broke before the month ends. You try to be as conservative as possible, yet you don't have savings after working for 5 months… The month you are able to save a little, unforeseen expenses will consume the savings… Boom! You are back to square one.

By now, you are thinking is Iya Silifa ( Your old stepmom) that is bewitching you. Funny!

Do you want to know the truth? You aren't living an expensive lifestyle neither are your village people disturbing you.

But your salary will never make you rich. It will only cater to your basic daily needs.

Don't be fooled by motivational speakers who told you things they can't practice.

Every salary earner lives a little above poverty life. But you can still be rich as a salary earner… Do know how? Relax, I will tell you, that is why I am here…

The only way you can become very comfortable as a salary earner is by having a side hustle….

What Is A Side Hustle?


A side hustle is any legal business you do outside your salary to give you passive income...

With the advancement in technology, salary earners can engage in side hustle without conflicting with their main job. You can decide to go into freelancing, dropshipping, internet marketing, Blogging, Affiliate marketing, Vlogging, to mention but a few.

If you have a side hustle, you will still be living comfortably, even if your employer decides not to pay your salary for months.

I sometimes ask myself - how do some states civil servants survive without being paid for several months If you put yourself in their shoes, you will know how dangerous it is to rely on your salary alone…

Let me ask you this last question ….

If Your Employer Sacks You Today, Where Will You Start From?


A side hustle is your plan B, start one now and insure your future forever…

Those Who Have Ears, Let Them Hear...

Wow FTC for the first time... How I wish NL pays for FTC,.. I would have add it as side hustle .....
Now to the matter at hand, salary is different from salary... Someone receiving anything 400k+ in Nigeria can live a very good n comfortable life... In as much he lives within his means!..
I am not saying side hustle is not good but the fact is we can't all engage in side hustle... It's the same side hustle that is sending some ppl back to the village....
The point is even if you want to go into side hustle please kindle know much about the hustle or the business... So you don't keep on incubating a spoilt egg!

Know yourself,
know your capacity,
understand the business,
And don't invest either your time or finance into something you don't understand!

We will all make it at the end!

This advice is not for multinational oil company staff . If my salary as a fresh graduate is 850k per month, any day that I complain that I am broke before month end give me beta beating

So what are the feasible side hustle?
Or you just another fela durotoye

What of those working abroad?

95% of side hustles crash. The people you put there go chop and ruin u. Leave trash for lawma

#fact

Excellent post. Unless your job is the type that pays decently well ,like say 200k upward, depending on a single source of income is not always good especially when you hope to get married soon. I am not trying to discourage anybody but fact remain that two or three sources of income guaranteed a better living than one especially in this shithole.

I completely disagree with this comment. Multi million business men have employee that works for them year in year out and they are still in business and doing very well. This mindset would limit you brother. Please be guided!

Multiple streams of income is a better phrase. Side hustle sounds like what a visionless, tactless and unserious person would do.

quite enlightening

Na person wen get one job dey find side one.

Mention the legitimate side hustle

Nairaland blog, example of side hustle.

Don't say that, your demand will be high. Will you go and rent an apartment at Ajegunle? Will you still be hopping Okada? Will you still be patronising bend down boutiques? Will you still be eating at buka or eatery? Will your parents and siblings not demand? The more you have,the higher your demand and the more you spend.
Billionaires go broke!

true talk

I just need an internet businesse the one that I can feel comfortable at. I am tired of hustle

Don't mind the dude. See as he said N850k like it is one kind big money.

I agree with the op. Even as a business person relying on one source of income is a sure way of setting yourself up for disappointment.

Trust me, I am speaking from experience

Insightful thread...one of the worst side hustle is playing betting..bet9ja don chop quarter of ma salary already...

Lemme try that afflilate marketing if it will pay.

On the contrary, Saving money in Nigeria is very difficult I swear..You will be jejely saving your money in peace & get a call from village saying *"Obinna,send money for
hospital, grandmama swallow razor"*

How many 400k salary jobs are available in Nigeria? How many percent of graduates have such jobs? What happens if your employer suddenly ask you to go from that 400k job?
