5 Side Hustles That Creators Can Start in 2022

I believe these places can be opportune for those who wish to start a career as a creator or freelance media professional.

Remembering; being a creator doesn't just depend on a single skill. If you understand written content creation, don't just limit yourself to creating written content, look for another medium that allows you to diversify your income sources, so you can make passive income coming from various places on the Web.

"Don't be limited, be proactive."

Let's go then.

1. Investment Portfolio

As an investor, I believe it is important in 2022 for developers to start managing an investment portfolio. Not that it is an obligation or financial advice, but I believe that by starting an investment portfolio, you could be taking a leap towards your future financial freedom.

Without looking solely at financial freedom or independence, as an investor, you can earn a job opening as a portfolio manager if you are a good investor.

2. Management Consulting

The world of technology has been growing considerably in the last few years, and home office jobs have never been so hot as they are now. And there are those professionals who have several skills but don't know how to use them and make them generate income for the skilled; management consulting can be one of the great chances to start a lateral movement.

But what is Management Consulting?

Management Consulting is consulting done through diagnostics. In this type of consulting, the consultant is called in to see the problem of anything from the performance of an investment portfolio, a blog, a course, a YouTube channel, or whatever system it is. The consultant in turn makes a diagnosis, detects the problem, and shows the solution to the problem. In the last 11 months, my biggest local income has been through management consulting, since then the requests keep coming and it has been biased in the market I work in.

This could be one of the lateral movements that could be caught in 2022.

3. Multinational Breeder

"A multinational creator is characterized by having its headquarters in a particular country and acting on audiences and markets in other countries."

Start creating written or video content somewhere, either for sale or for a specific audience. That way you will build an audience that will help you keep some expenses when they start purchasing your courses in various ways. Even internet gurus today struggle to get more audience because with a good audience you can maintain high expectations for a future in your career. That may be the first step, but how about looking at the international level?

There is a range of consumers around the world who are in need of help that many may know about, but the way that product is delivered, only you have the ability to make them understand. This is where I say look in other places like countries and continents. Looking in other markets has made me a multinational creator, and thanks to these trends, today I am able to make an extra income that I could never make by just being active in my local market.

Study the markets of other countries and their audience, after knowing at least 20% you would already be able to start a small audience there.

4. Personal Projects

Study and develop a personal project that can help you get a job without a diploma is the key piece. If getting a job simply depended on a diploma, I wouldn't be where I am today. I got my job through experience, not through a diploma. I don't have a degree in finance, but I got a job as a treasurer and accountant in a multinational public-private company, without even needing a published tender. This is because my experience spoke louder. Today people respect me more as a financier than as a programmer, analyst, and system developer.

Personal projects help a lot when they are well defined. In my country, I am more of a mere content creator with a few women followers, but I have built friendships with bankers, businessmen in the soft drink industry, farmers, doctors, and investors from various industries. All thanks to personal projects I have kept a hard bet; I think this is a key piece in 2022.

5. And to finish, Create Local Projects

After you have perhaps saved some capital, started an income source that is already giving you profits; now is the time to start local projects based on agriculture, a local consulting office, a fraternity group of creators that could revolutionize the next generation. All this to prevent some cases from going wrong digitally.

I strongly believe in innovation, so acting in strategic areas is a gigantic opportunity.
