Every year, more and more people are learning the benefits of investing.

They’re beginning to understand that they can never build true wealth, if they do not put their resources to work for them in a way that pushes them further towards their financial goals.

After all, it was legendary investor Warren Buffet that once said, “If you don’t find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die.”

We know this is true, but step back and ask yourself something. What if you’re not even following the right strategy to build long-term financial stability? What if the investments aren’t aligned with your goals? What if you feel like you’re doing everything you supposed to, but you find out years from now it was all wrong?

This is the case for millions of people, and they don’t even know it yet.

If I told you that you could build a business that starts making you money this week, possibly even today – how appealing would that sound?

I’m not talking about some get-rich-quick scheme that leaves you with nothing in the end, I’m talking about a real, tangible business that has value. Something legitimate, that you can depend on, scale, and do great things with.

When I started blogging at age 14, I had lots of time and no money. I literally had to ask my grandmother for a few dollars to buy web hosting, and thankfully, I got it. It then took months to start building even a small amount of income, and because I made some critical blogging mistakes early on, I ended up having to scrap the site altogether.

So I created a new one, which also took months and months to build up.

While every business should utilize blogging, and building up a brand through content marketing is still my favorite overall strategy, some of us can’t wait that long. We need to do something that brings in money right away – at the very least, to scale our businesses.

Fortunately, I have a solution for you. It’s just not going to be a solution most people will like:

5 Side Hustles To Consider Alongside Blogging

If you have free time and you’re not pursuing any sort of side hustle, maybe it’s time to change things up.

A side hustle is essentially a small business you run on the side while either continuing to work a traditional job, or another main business.

Perhaps blogging is a side hustle for you right now. Nothing wrong with that – it’s a damn good one, and in fact, taking the two-pronged approach and building your business up to the point where it covers your expenses is a great way to quit your job to blog full time.

Sometimes though, you’ll want to pursue even more.

Passive Income Does Not Triumph Total Return

Take a look at any big internet marketing website, and I’ll bet you’ll see something huge about ‘earning passive income.’

People are crazy over it. Everybody’s talking about it.

“Earn money while you sleep!”

“Work 4 hours a week!”

“Build it once, earn money from it forever!”

That’s great. Passive income is actually pretty wonderful. Passive income is the reason I’ve published over 150 Kindle books and continue to put out more every week. Having money come in while no longer doing any work truly is an amazing feeling.

However, it’s extremely easy to get lost in the idea of passive income and forget what’s really important – how much money you’re getting in total for the amount of time you’ve invested in something.
