Suddenly have more free time after going remote, what side hustles should I try?
Recently my job has turned into remote. Now I only go to the office maybe once or twice a week. WFH has honestly been great, I basically get an extra 2–3 hours every day from not commuting and getting ready for work.
I work in advertising, so my day job is already pretty connected to social media and online marketing. A friend of mine suggested I could try doing SEO freelancing, or maybe run a small ecommerce side store. He’s been testing some simple shops on Genstore and said he makes around $1,000 a month from one of them, which sounds pretty decent.
But the issue is, that kind of work feels a bit too close to what I already do all day. I’m looking for something slightly different, ideally still online, but not just more marketing work. Maybe something more creative, or at least a different skill set.
Right now I’m just in the stage of collecting ideas and not rushing into anything yet. I also don’t want to overinvest time or money without knowing if it’s the right direction.
Would really appreciate any suggestions or ideas.
