In the spirit of building multiple income streams, how do you decide what those additional streams should be if your primary career is volatile (e.g., layoffs)?

Should the focus be on several smaller, stable income sources, or on scaling a few higher-earning ones as much as possible?

I’ve also heard that these streams don’t need to be glamorous—so how do you balance reliability, effort, and income potential when choosing them?

I already know HYSA, stocks and “making money work for you”.
