Padosi Ki Puraani Chaalein: Jab Side Hustle Naya Naya Tha (2018-2025)
Pehle, jab side hustles ka trend shuru hua tha, log thode cautious the. Lekin jaise-jaise internet access badha aur smartphone sabke haath mein aaye, toh mauke bhi badhne lage. Aapke padosi ne bhi inhi shuruaati mauko ka faayda uthaya hoga:
- Freelancing Ka Bolbaala: Yaad hai 2018-2020 ke aas-paas, jab har doosra insaan Fiverr ya Upwork pe content writing, graphic design ya web development ke projects dhundh raha tha? Ek padosi teacher ne shaam ko online tuition dena shuru kiya, toh doosre ne apne graphic design skills se social media creatives bana kar achha paisa kamaya. Yeh woh daur tha jab log apne existing skills ko online monetize karna seekh rahe the.
- Reselling aur Dropshipping ki Shuruaat: Kya aapko yaad hai jab log OLX, Facebook Marketplace ya Instagram par purane clothes, gadgets, ya fir China se saste products mangwa kar resell karte the? Sharma Ji ki beti, jo college mein thi, woh online boutique chala rahi thi, jisme woh local wholesalers se kapde le kar unhe achhi photos ke saath Instagram par bechti thi. Woh bhi bina kisi ko bataaye!
- Content Creation aur Influencer Marketing: Dheere-dheere, YouTube aur Instagram par log apne passion ko income source mein badal rahe the. Cooking, travel, tech reviews – kuch bhi ho, agar audience hai toh paise hain. Hamare society ke teenager ne gaming videos bana kar paise kamaye, toh ek housewife ne local food recipes share karke followers bana liye.

Excel templates, presentation decks, custom digital planners ya even short e-books – log in cheezon ke liye pay karne ko taiyaar hain.
