What are the characteristics of young people whose sideline income exceeds 10 thousand?

The general meaning of "just need a sideline" is that, on the one hand, with the rising cost of living, the pressure of life becomes greater. On the other hand, many people are hindered in their career development and have limited room for improvement. They feel that living on only one job is unsustainable. Under the two major anxieties of life and income, many people begin to develop second jobs and increase the channels and sources of income to ease the pressure of life and income.

The post-90s generation is called the hardest generation. They were born in an era of ease, so many things and things are taken for granted in their values. The same is true of the wage income of work. With the rising cost of living, various consumption traps of online celebrities and opinion leaders are overwhelming, and articles peddling social anxiety can be seen everywhere. Let these young people have high expectations for their income before they set foot on society and the workplace. "I hope my first job will earn 8,000 yuan a month" and "I feel that I can only support myself if I earn more than 10,000 yuan a month" and I have a strong desire for high income.

But the reality is always cruel, the income can not meet expectations, and sideline has become the first choice for young people today. Most young people around me want to do sideline business, but why do some people earn more than 10 thousand yuan a month, while others always talk about it without any practical action?

But in fact, is it really easy to do sideline business?

I believe this is a question that many people want to know. In today's bad economic environment, increasing income is everyone's goal, and steadily increasing income is a wish. I hope I won't be tied down by work. The real sideline is not that you go to work during the day and go out to run a few takeaways and Didi at night. If you can make money, it's called a sideline. It is more appropriate to say slash youth than sideline. Why is it not easy to do sideline business? Because in the background of making money, sideline means you have to set foot in an industry and field other than work, which may be something you are good at or something you are completely unfamiliar with. Even if I develop my own sideline field within my power, it will take a lot of energy and time for most people to develop to the level of making money.

For the post-90s generation who just entered the workplace and society, it is quite difficult to cope with and complete their work because of their lack of ability and experience. It's really overwhelming to spend time and energy learning a skill to make money after work.

It is difficult for young people to do sideline business because they have no time and energy to cultivate and exercise another professional skill. Second, the cost you need to bear is too high. Cost not only refers to the time and energy needed in the early stage, but also includes the risk and anxiety of no output in the early stage. Take writing as a simple example. In fact, from the perspective of improving writing ability, it is difficult to define and quantify your writing level. It is not easy to make money by writing. It may take three months or even 1 year. People still look down on your manuscript, and you won't make a penny during this period, but the cost you pay during this period, whether it is manpower, material resources or financial resources, may be greater than the cost paid by people who specialize in this profession. This is the cost and risk that you need to bear without asking for return. Once you feel that you can't persist and can't see the hope of making money, it's easy to give up.

Of course, on the other hand, there are also many young people who do well in sideline business. Some people's sideline income even exceeds their main business. I chatted with them and summarized several characteristics of sideline business for your reference. The specific situation varies from person to person.

First, understand which is more important, the main business sideline does not affect.

A friend of mine works under the official WeChat account of a company with tens of millions of fans. His post is content planning and content editing. He usually needs to collect and sort out a lot of information. He has worked for 6 years, and now he is the position of director of operations, because the whole process of WeChat official account operation is relatively clear after 6 years. So he himself later privately set up a team to do the content. The first year was not very good, but later, with the help of the drainage and promotion methods he mastered, the number of fans of his official WeChat account reached 500,000 in the second year. In fact, he was still losing money in the second year, but watching the advertisers' advertisements hit him, he also believed that he could turn losses into profits in the second year. Now his company's monthly salary is 30,000 yuan, and his team's monthly net income can be about 1000 yuan, which further strengthens her determination to do sideline business.

I want to share the process with you, because when he first started doing it, there were no good people and resources, and to do this kind of thing, not only employees, but also managers need to keep learning every day. At the beginning, my friend told me many times that if I couldn't send an article a day, I would receive it very late, but I had to go to work tomorrow. In fact, at the beginning, it affected my work more or less, because a large part of my energy was spent on it. Fortunately, I can balance and control myself. I also went to bed and got up on time during that time. Sometimes I prefer to slow down the progress of sideline business rather than delay my proper work.

Powerful people can often distinguish between sideline and homepage, because they know which is more important. Sideline can succeed or fail, but the main business can't be lost for many people. On the one hand, the sideline is only unstable, on the other hand, the main business is the life guarantee without sideline at all.

Second, people with "one skill" can plough deeply in the fields.

In fact, it is easy to develop sideline business, but it is not easy to develop sideline business with sustained and considerable income, and it is even more difficult to develop sideline business with income exceeding the main business. There is a saying that if you want to develop a better sideline, you must first work hard at your post for at least 10 years, so that your professional skills can be excellent and you will have certain resources in your hand, and it will be more advantageous to develop related sideline. Some people will say, you have the skills and resources, why don't you quit your job and go it alone? First of all, your main business is stable. Why do you want to resign? In addition, there is another ability given by the platform. Sometimes, once you quit your job and leave the original platform, your so-called contacts and resources may be largely ignored.

Therefore, if you want to develop a good sideline with considerable income, it is reasonable to have excellent ability, and knowledge is wealth. When you become an opinion leader in an industry, everything you say is valuable, just a cloud, and many people believe what he says. This may not be realistic for many people, but we should strive to be more professional people. The more professional and skilled we are, the more valuable we are.

Third, people with high sideline income know how to persist and carry forward.

As mentioned above, at the beginning of developing a sideline, you may have no income for a year or two, which requires you to stick to your goal. Many people give up easily under such circumstances, because having no income for such a long time will make them more and more anxious and even doubt whether they are doing this right. Of course, you may not be suitable for this, but the premise of unsuitability is that you have to persist, and you won't know if you are suitable until you persist.

As for Wanda's Rainbow Jianlin, when he started to do commercial real estate, he also suffered losses year after year, although this was not his sideline, it was his main business. But the reason is the same. Wang Jianlin made up his mind at that time. In the face of sustained losses, we will stick to it for another year. If you don't make money, you quit. So, this year, Wanda tasted the sweetness of doing real estate. It is precisely because of this year's persistence that Wanda has now.

I remember Luo Zhenyu's New Year's speech "Friends of Time" said: In the future, the easy money will be gone, and then we will do more difficult things to make money. The same is true of sideline business. It's not easy to make money from it, but it's even harder for him to have a sustained high income. A persistent heart is the greatest foundation. Ma Yun once said, "Because you believe, you see". Only by persistence can we have a chance of success.
