王尔德曾说过："年轻的时候，我曾以为金钱是世界上最重要的东西。现在我老了，才知道的确如此。"

When I was young I thought that money was the most important thing in life. Now that I am old, I know that it is.” -Oscar Wilde

不禁想到去年那个因为“一心只想搞钱”，而火起来的深圳女孩。

敢想敢做，敢拼敢闯，清醒通透，知道自己要什么，活成自己的精神内核。

不过今天的 Buzzword 不讲这个女孩，而是聊聊“搞钱方式”的一种 Side Hustle.

If you have been following English language media in the past few years, you have definitely seen this expression.

“Side” means on the side; “Hustle” here simply means work or a job.

Side Hustle

A side hustle is work you do on the side of your regular job to make additional income.

说白了, 在你主业工作之外所有你做的这些搞钱的副业, 都可以叫做Side Hustle.

你可能要问了，兼职和副业有区别吗？

有，也没有。

The way people define Side Hustle tends to vary, but to most, it involves some type of self-employment as opposed to a traditional second job.

Side Hustle和普通的兼职还是有点不一样的, 它通常更倾向于是self-employment, you are your own boss, such as freelance gigs.

比如说自由职业的一些工作, 或者干脆是自主创业。

One great thing about Side Hustles is that they often serve as an opportunity for people to pursue something they're interested in or passionate about.

But perhaps the greatest reason more and more people are starting a Side Hustle comes down to the financial security it can provide.

Word Origins

其实从50年代就开始出现的这个Side Hustle并不是一个新词,

但是它的爆火则是因为上一次经济萧条期, 传统的工作机会越来越少, 所以很多人都不得不开始研究副业搞钱这条路。

常见的Side Hustle包括开网店/做自媒体/售卖自己做的手工艺品/教授网上课程/做写手插画师…等等自由职业.

Although this word has been very popular in the past few years, the expression Side Hustle was actually first used in 1950.

But the term became popular during and after the last recession when traditional jobs disappeared and enterprising people had to make ends meet.

Examples of Side Hustle

Selling clothing

Launch your own social media account for profit

Making and selling handicrafts

Freelance creative work (writing/illustrator/graphic designer…)

Teaching online courses

Tutoring or coaching

Photography services

Selling baked goods or home cooked family meals; catering

Dog walking or pet sitting

Providing delivery services

Brand ambassador or product demonstrator

...

Benefits

Side Hustle

一个好的副业可以让你既不牺牲平时工作的稳定, 又能去追求自己的梦想。

而且用副业就能搞到钱补贴家用, 也会提升你的生活质量，听着就很香有没有。

A Side Hustle can offer you the opportunity to explore your passions or pursue your dream job without sacrificing the steady paycheck of a day job.

Not only does a Side Hustle provide an injection of extra cash flow to your bank account, it can also help to boost overall life satisfaction.

很多人喜欢副业其实是因为它的灵活性, 因为很多人在副业里自己不是“entrepreneur”-创业者, 就是“solopreneur”-单打独斗的创业者。

仅凭这一点，副业就能吸引很多已经过惯了朝九晚五的人。

Another benefit of having a Side Hustle is that they allow for flexibility in workplace and work hours. Often Side Hustles are solopreneurial or entrepreneurial endeavors.

And when you're the boss, you get to decide everything, call the shots-including when and for how long you’ll work.

This can be really appealing to those who feel trapped by a traditional 9-to-5 job.

它的另外一个好处就是和真正抛家舍业的创业不一样, Side Hustle通常不需要一开始就投入一大笔资金。

On Top of that, Side Hustle typically does not require a large financial investment upfront.

It can be as simple as you create something and you try to sell it online. If you're good enough, you can easily sell ideas and knowledge you already have.

Things to consider

说了这么多好处，Side Hustle可不是人人都能一闭眼就开干的。

首先你要避免自己的副业和主业有冲突, 特别是有些公司会明令禁止就是接私活.

While there are plenty of pros to having a Side Hustle, that's not to say there aren't a lot of things to consider before diving in.

There are many things to consider, one major consideration before taking on a Side Hustle is the potential conflict with your day job, some companies have policies that prohibit moonlighting.

Now this really depends on your own company and your day job.

Once you got things set, and now it seems that you're ready, as someone who has had Side Hustles for as long as I've been working, let me share with you a few tips for doing inside hustle.

01

Plan Your Time Carefully

做好时间规划

02

Don’t Blur the Boundaries Between Your Jobs

划清主业和副业之间的界限

03

Remember What You’re in It For

牢记你搞副业的初心

04

Take Time to Recharge

别忘了定期休息续命

05

Remember What's Your Priority For

Keep in mind that a Side Hustle means giving up some of your free time, but with the benefits that can be gained many Side Hustlers find the sacrifice to be well worth the effort.

If you're not currently having a Side Hustle, maybe it's time to start.????
