For new and experienced side job seekers, FlexJobs' career experts offer the following tips for starting a successful side hustle.
- Time It Out – To avoid burnout or overscheduling, workers should first assess how much spare time they have before taking on a side job. Determine how much time a side hustle will really take, then how much free time they can devote to it.
- Assess Existing Skills – Job seekers taking a remote side job in their current field likely have many of the necessary skills already. However, if workers are pursuing a side job to help switch careers, they should begin by making a list of transferable skills to help them identify which skills they have and which ones they'll need to learn.
- Rebrand – Job seekers should optimize their LinkedIn profiles to be more relevant to the side work they're seeking. Be sure to include key transferable skills, technology proficiencies, and an updated profile picture aligned with the industry.
- Take a Test Run – Before committing to any side hustle (especially if it's in a new field), set up some informational interviews to get the scoop on what the industry is really like. It's also a great way to learn about any potential challenges.
- Seek Support—It can be helpful to lean on personal and professional networks for support, especially when just starting out in a remote side hustle. They may have experience with side jobs and can offer you insights and advice.
- Watch for Red Flags – After starting a remote side job, keep an eye out for any red flags, such as clients that don't want to sign a contract, are difficult to deal with, or keep changing the project's scope.
