THE ideal side hustle is one that gives you a decent amount of pay for a small amount of work, and one TikToker found a way to maximize this perfect pair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mason is a\u00a0freelance\u00a0<\/a>copywriter who’s sharing his tips on how to find gigs and rake in cash on his TikTok,\u00a0CardinalMason<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He’s picked up several copywriting jobs that each only takes him a few hours a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each one paid him no less than $1,200 a month, adding up to just under $34,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mason broke down what he did<\/a>, how long it took him and how much he got paid for each job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the gigs only took him two or three hours a month to finish and it still paid $1,500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a copywriter, Mason was writing things like newsletters and advertisements for different agencies and people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He did mention he works pretty quickly, so it may take a bit longer for a beginner to be able to handle as many jobs as he did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here’s what he made in a month and how much time he spent on each job:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This totals 40 hours worked a week, which is the same as a regular five-day workweek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Assuming Mason does the same amount of work every week, this is pretty similar to working a regular full-time job but with much higher pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s important to remember there are tax implications for side hustles and freelance work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You’ll have to report the extra income to the Internal Revenue Service if you earn $400 or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your net earnings from self-employment are less than $400, you still have to file an income tax return if you meet any other filing requirement listed in\u00a0Form 1040<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’re interested in marketing but not necessarily copywriting, there are other options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Affiliate marketing has grown in popularity as almost any company you can think of starting its own program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n TikToker Amy shared a program from Target<\/a> that allows you to work from home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTarget<\/a>\u00a0has a program that allows you to work from home and choose your own hours,\u201d Amy said in the video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She added that you can make \u201can extra 3-5k a month by promoting their products on social media<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As an affiliate marketer, she promotes a product to an audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For each sale driven from your audience, you will receive a percentage-based commission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since there\u2019s no cost to join an affiliate program, the side hustle is relatively low-risk and will always be an opportunity to make a steady passive income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But it also requires a fair amount of patience, and you have no control over whether or not your audience will actually buy a product off your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Sun shared a Google side hustle<\/a> where you can make over $100 an hour \u2013 it\u2019s free to get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe full breakdown<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
