This is the last part of my year in review for 2021. This post is on side hustles.
I tried online teaching and used the Udemy platform. I uploaded my first online course ever. I got sales, but also learn that instructors get probably $2 or so per course sale on Udemy. Total amount earned in 2021 - $5 ( for 2 sales).
I did consultancy as a sub- contractor for a friend who clinched a deal. And, I earned a low 4 digit for a few hours of work. And learn that getting work done is the easy part. Getting the business is the hardest, and perhaps the more valuable part.
I then understand why Udemy pays me $2 per course sale. They did the hard work of getting me sales. I did the easy thing.
I realized marketing and sales are very important processes and that's why they are worth the money. They bring in the money. The easy part is actually to do the job/ produce something, which if not location dependent is easy to outsource cheaply.
Overall, 2021 was a good year in terms of side hustle. Not in terms of $ and cents. I earn little. But, it was a good year for exposing myself to new stuff.
