I'm just going to say as someone who's learning how to be a tutor: knowing and explaining are two different skills. If you're teaching a language, especially if it's your first language, learn the details of it; just because you can speak a language does not make you capable of explaining its rules to someone else, because you might not even be familiar with them if you just learned them out of habit. For example, I speak Irish, and Irish has a lot of sounds that English doesn't, and it confuses a lot of people. But it's gotten a lot easier when I start with the fact that we only have 13 consonants, most can be used in 4 different ways based on the letters surrounding it, and once you learn those 4 pronunciations, you'll be able to say almost any word perfectly. Being able to say "well, this c is pronounced a little weird, just remember that" and "this is a palatalised c, you can tell because of the i next to it, it means you pronounce it with your tongue closer to the roof of your mouth — also known as your palate, that's where that term comes from" makes a world of a difference to your student. Simply knowing something isn't always going to be helpful, it's good to know why it's used, and occasionally why it came to be in the first place. Yeah, I know mh can make a w sound, it does that because of lenition. Why didn't we just use w? Well, that didn't exist yet in the Latin script, it wouldn't for another 2 centuries, we had to improvise with the letters we had.

Hi, Dinalu ! (Sorry for my English) I was wondering what if I want, instead of just buil a website for local businesses, 'rebrand' a local restaurant? Like its package or some presentation. How can I get them to trust me or pay for my ideas? How can I approach them or email them, or something like that? I would really appreciate your response.

The framing of "easiest" is smart for CTR but I'm curious how you'd rank these if you weighted them by time-to-first-dollar instead — some side hustles look easy but have a 2-3 month ramp before any payout, which kills motivation for most people. Would love a follow-up that breaks down realistic timelines alongside the effort level 💰

As you said “You need to have the right circumstances” and this applies to the first “easiest” side hustle as well, and I say this after being homeless and without a car and with chronic health problems and can’t do hard manual labor (sorry blue collar job promoters) and you don’t have a diploma or a degree and let’s be honest, not everyone has skills and if you are like me and genuinely don’t have any, then you will need money to learn those skills. Good luck trying to find someone willing to hire someone in such bad circumstances with all of those problems.
09:41 Hustle 12: for the social media savvy
10:35 Hustle 13: for the designers
Inspiring!
11:29 Hustle 14: if you buy a lot of things

You really inspire me.
