3 Dangers of Starting a Side Hustle

Many people talk about the joys of starting a side hustle or side gig, but many do not discuss the dangers, too! As someone who has pursued side hustles, such as social media management, graphic design, content creation, and more, I feel like this should be discussed more!

✺ | Scammers

There are SO many scammers that take advantage of vulnerable people who are trying to better their lives. So, please! If it feels too good to be true, it most likely is.

✺ | Taxes

Taxes are insanely hard to wrap your mind around as a new freelancer. I stressed so hard until I got an accountant. Hire an accountant or bookkeeper.

✺ | Loss of Passion

A lot of people think monetizing your passion is great. It definitely can be, but you can also lose your passion, too, when you rely on it for financial stability or your happiness.

What experiences have you had starting a side hustle or side gig?
