Supplemental Income Stream Ideas...

Hi all,

Turning to WSO for ideas on a supplemental income stream.

I have pretty big student loans and it would be great to be able to start paying them down with a supplemental income.

Thank you!

You're 22 years old and about to graduate from college. Start by focusing on your initial source of income before worrying about diversifying income streams.

almost $500/month on a web based biz.

completely passive now but it took 20 hrs week, 4 months, and 2-4k to get rolling

its growing pretty rapidly at this point and i work on it probably 10-20 hours a week to keep it growing.... i'm hoping it grows to xk/xxk/mo but that this point i'm happy its profitable.

What worked for me was to try one biz model until I found something that made sense and just tried it. I'd give a venture 1 year before seriously giving up unless it was something stupid and simple (like uber driving not being worth the cost).

Also something you can build up over time a lot like owning multiple rental properties. Freelancing is all fun and games until you realize its just like a second job.

that way you can build it up over time and grow it instead of being a glorified job.
