Side-hustlers and slashers on the rise in SA

There is, of course, nothing new about making some extra money on the side. Whether you’re saving for a dream holiday or just trying to keep the wolf from the door during a tough time, taking on a second job, finding a hobby that pays or starting a small business from home are tried and tested ways to boost your income. The digitalisation of the world has though opened up a far wider range of opportunities to hustle on the side and potentially engage an audience of unprecedented size. If you can find the time and energy for it, you can activate multiple income streams by registering your spare room on a rental platform, consulting via Zoom to companies anywhere in the world, buying and selling goods on eBay, and turning your passion for baking into an ad money making YouTube channel.
