“Do drop shipping on the side,” they say.

“Create a blog and make money.”

“Make a TikTok channel and make thousands every month.”

There is no lack of ideas online. And gurus will tell you how they make thousands of dollars in 60 seconds thanks to their wonderful method.

No wonder people ask: Do side hustles really work?

Instead of guessing or believing the gurus’ cheap words, let us look at proof.

Luckily, we have ways to find out.

Look Around and Ask Yourself This Question

Maybe you have seen this great offer for a course or software that tells you that you can make money with the push of a button.

60 seconds max.

Would you believe it? You should not. Unless you see the marketer do it himself consistently and having done so for a long time.

Instead, you should check people doing the side hustle you are considering.

Let us say you are interested in starting a blog on the side. If you don’t know any bloggers now, start on YouTube. Check people who teach others about blogging.
