Suitable Employment for Busy Employees

When income is inversely proportional to the increasing workload, the best solution is to do side jobs. What is suitable for those who have a solid working hour?

For office workers, working from 9 am to 6 pm, every Monday to Friday, is a routine that can not be avoided in order to support the family or yourself. Not to mention if the boss asks us to overtime because of the dense work to be completed. Want to reject it feels reluctant.

Luckily if the company gives overtime pay. Otherwise, we as an employee can only surrender and undergo obligations. As the work continues to accumulate but income does not go up, the desire to move to work must be a thoughtful alternative.

Do not rush to take a decision, because one solution that can be done is to find a side job. The question is, if the office work has been busy, how do we take care of the side job?

The statement is, do we have inspiration profitable and can be done? Fortunately, no matter how busy our main job is, some of the side jobs can be done only at the expense of a little spare time.

View employee side business opportunities tailored to earnings

Before discussing more about obtaining additional income, we should first identify the types of income sources that Robert Kiyosaki describes.

In his book "Cashflow Quadrant", Kiyosaki explains some income differences in some types of work. According to the writer and businessman of Uncle Sam's country of origin, there are four parts that represent sources of income someone.

1 # Earnings as employees (employee)

Earnings earned for working as an employee and earning monthly salaries, bonuses, and benefits.

2 # Earnings as self employed (self employed)

Earnings derived from special expertise, such as makeup artist.

3 # Earnings as a businessman (businessman)

Income earned for building a business, such as making a culinary business or food stalls business.

4 # Income as an investor

Earnings earned by someone's money work and generate income, such as investment deposits or mutual funds.

Easier, choose a side business without capital and just need expertise

Judging from the four sources of income discussed by Kiyosaki, it can be concluded that there are several ways that can be done to earn additional income outside the main job as an employee.

Several types of work to be mentioned here are actually already doing a lot. But the opportunity for newcomers who want to plunge into this field is still widely open until now. To be more clear, let's discuss one by one what kinds of side jobs are;

1. Become a blogger

Capital of thought, experience, then poured in a single article or video. As explained briefly above, self employed or self-employed means earnings by relying on our expertise. One example we work as a writer or editor.

It could not hurt to try to become a blogger. Not only have to write a heavy thing, simply write things that we like to be a travel blogger if the hobby of traveling or food bloggers for a hobby to eat.

Blogger itself there are many kinds, not always with writing through the media blog. We can use social media to touch the followers. The more followers, the more earnings earned from endorsement, advertising, content sponsorship, and many other ways.

Become a photographer

Have a photography hobby? Being a freelance photographer was able to generate a decent income. We can start offering services for family occasions such as birthdays or weddings. If you already have enough portfolio, install our work in social media to build a reputation as a reliable photographer.

After that, start put rates for our services. Usually the services of a photographer for a wedding event is valued starting from Rp1 million. By doing this side job every weekend, we can already pocket the extra money of at least Rp 4 million in a month!

1. Become a makeup artist

One of the most sought after professions is the makeup artist (MUA). If the first MUA profession is underestimated, now MUA is on the rise. Earnings were not kidding. A prominent MUA fixes wedding makeup rates (only makeup without clothes rental) for Rp9 million for Jakarta area and Rp17 million outside Jakarta.

This price does not include accommodation, transportation and consumption if invited outside the area. Although it only receives customers on weekends, pocketable income reaches Rp96 million per month if we receive three customers outside the region and five in Jakarta.

1. Saving money on investment instruments

In the opinion of Robert Kiyosaki described above, investment can also be a source of income. Just by saving our money on investment instruments, we do not need to make much effort because the money will work alone to add value.

The choice of investment also varies, depending on the amount of capital, risk, and profit that best suits us. One of the most suitable options for employees with a salary of no more than Rp 5 million is a mutual fund.

Or if you have enough capital, we can buy property in strategic areas such as near universities and open a boarding house and rent it out. For example we have five rooms at a cost of Rp 600 thousand a month, the money pocketed has reached Rp 3 million.

1. Open an online store

According Kiyosaki, in addition to relying on expertise and save money on investment instruments, setting up a business can be one way to earn additional income.

One side business that is easy to do by busy workers is to sell goods at online stores such as Tokopedia, Lazada, Bukalapak, and others.

If you do not want to bother looking for merchandise, simply specify the items that are being sought after and become a reseller or dropshipper of shops that are trusted and have a low price.

1. Rent out things

Take advantage of goods that are pocketed for money. For example renting unused rooms at home via Airbnb, cars to neighbors in the holiday season, or unused kebaya to the wedding salon. Before renting, first understand the risks and use insurance to protect our valuables.

1. Become an online transport driver

Using a private vehicle to the office? Try registering as an online transport driver. No need to pursue the target, just look for passengers whose purpose is one-way with the location of our office, and do the same when home.

In addition to increasing revenue, we can get acquainted with many new people while breaking through the traffic jam.
