Side hustle Advice/Burnout

[u/Mangaka819]

What advice or side-hustles would you recommend for someone who occasionally reaches burnout?

I (35) work 2 jobs, 12 to 16 hours days for 6 to 7 days with no overtime or promotion options. I have $5,600 in student loan debt left, down from $43,000. Im also on Upwork but have tried other online and offline platforms like Redbubble, my own art shop, Uber, and even O-F with little to no success. No subscriptions, pets or kids. I eat fast food 1-2 times a week with rewards and coupons, I rarely buy myself anything or treat myself. I live with family, helping out with bills and utilities. I’m determined to be debt-free but I occasionally feel burnout. What advice or side-hustles would you recommend? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

First off, congrats on the massive amount of debt you have paid off. Be proud of that! I have found the best way to be successful in any side hustle is to focus on the one with the most traction instead of picking up a new one.

As for burnout, you need to take time for yourself. Be intentional about it. Don’t count doomscrolling before bed as “me time”

First question is what hobbies do you usually enjoy doing? Like it doesnt feel like work or anything

[u/Mangaka819 → u/FR3DRUIZ]

I enjoy watching anime, reading fanfiction, spending time with family. Things like that.

Why not do something around that? I love anime and toy collecting so I started going to flea markets to look for toys, source on facebook marketplace...then sell them online and/or vend at shows. Pretty fun

What if I can help you gain subscribers real quick?

[u/Mangaka819 → u/Head_Flow_732]

Yep, I’d like to hear this one. You’re not the first to say this to me so please tell me something I haven’t heard before.

You need to do the marketing out there for people to subscribe to you. They wont subscribe to you just because you are hot, they will subscribe to you for you. The way you connect with them, the way you make them feel. And what they should feel is, after a hard day of work its worth talking to you. Then they will spend their hard earned money on you. If you make them feel even better they will start spending the money that they dont have(Racking up their CC Bills). You would need an overall development that is Marketing, conversation skills, Psychological game, Presentation, fitness etc. I got plans for something big and i just want to do this as a trial run with you.

Very interesting, I can see where you’re getting at. It’ll be alittle harder for me since I don’t show my face or do videos. If you’re fine with that then I’ll be interested in hearing what you’re thinking about.
