What Is A Side Hustle? [Side Hustle Secrets Review]

What really is a side hustle, and how does it mean to you? Side Hustle Secrets is a set of 10 video files plus a couple of ebooks - the name describes what it is - a side hustle how-to guide. It's recently been for sale via ClickBetter and I have seen it quite heavily promoted by some affiliates. If you've been searching for a Side Hustle Secrets real user review, you're in the right place, because there's an ultimate reason for it. But before revealing it to you, I can tell you what this product includes, whether you can get your money's worth out of it or not. I hope this review can give you a chance to think if this is a kind of lifestyle you want or not, at least.

What Really Is A Side Hustle?

By definition, a side hustle simply means a secondary job that brings in extra cash (as per Wiktionary). Depending on how you see your career and how you enjoy working, the term can be seen either positively or negatively.

Many people take up a second job out of necessity. We all come across unforeseen circumstances at some point in life, such as being made redundant and just cannot find the right job that pays enough. Juggling two jobs to make ends meet - it can happen to anybody.

On the other hand, some people choose to take a side hustle in search of new long term career prospects, or simply to fill up their free time and get paid. When I started affiliate marketing 4 years ago using my spare time, it was never supposed to be more than a hobby. I was working full-time in the office and, had I been desperate for money, I would have searched for a better job, working extra hours to pay bills would never have been an option. I ended up enjoying getting paid as an affiliate so much that I quit my day job as an accountant for many years - it was a dramatic career change.

The product Side Hustle Secrets is primarily for anyone who wishes to experience new career adventures, eventually become a business owner someday, and find a better quality of life.

What Is Side Hustle Secrets?

Side Hustle Secrets is a collection of PLR products (ebooks + video tutorials), so the original creators are unknown. The product contains the following;

• 54-page e-guidebook "Side Hustle Secrets". It's about how to start a side business using your spare time, finding out what you can do and how you can focus on your work.
• "Checklist" and "Mindmap" - automatically generated from the headings of the guidebook. Just a summary, basically.
• 10 x short video introductions to internet marketing, content marketing and SEO, social media marketing, and affiliate marketing basics.
• 6-page "Cheatsheet" - recommendation of some related books and blogs.
• 22-page ebook "Bank On Crypto" a basic introduction to cryptocurrency investment (confusingly!)
• The seller's affiliate link to ​Overnight Millionaire System and Super Affiliate System.

If you feel a little underwhelmed by the sound of it all, I can tell you the product as a whole it is a little uninspiring and also rather confusing.

The main reason is that there's no real connection between the main ebook and the video guides. While the ebook talks about any jobs in general (not restricted to online jobs, door-to-door sales, dog walking, babysitting, etc.), the video guides are about online marketing in general. Then there's a cryptocurrency ebook, which is nothing to do with a business or job opportunity to earn extra income. Investments carry some degree of risk and you could always lose money from them, you see.

So the product is a real mishmash. I'll now briefly show you what you can get from each component.

Side Hustle Secrets Ebook

The ebook actually delivers what it says on the tin. But there's not much practical advice, I'm not sure how useful it is for those who seriously look for a side business. The sales page is not lying though, the book explains things such as;

• Why you should start a side hustle now.
• Make a list of your skills to find out what you can do.
• 3 of the best and highest converting marketing strategies (word of mouth marketing, door-to-door marketing, social media marketing).
• The importance of time management and setting boundaries.
• 5 techniques to avoid "side hustle burnout" (outsource, stop comparing yourself to others, set deadlines, take breaks, and get multiple jobs).

Perhaps if you've been employed all your life and consider working for yourself for the first time, the book can tell you what it's going to be like and what kind of factors to keep in mind. To be perfectly honest, I'm pretty disappointed by the content throughout - this book basically keeps saying "whatever you decide to do, do it right." 

Video Files

The second part is a set of 10 x short videos, and they're all about working online.

Now after I was disappointed by the ebook content, I surprisingly found these videos very good, really useful. The 10 videos are;

1. What Is Internet Marketing and Why Should You Care? (7 mins)
2. Starting With Solid Foundations (10 mins)
3. Introducing Content Marketing (10 mins)
4. A Basic Introduction to Social Media Marketing (11 mins)
5. An Introduction to SEO Part 1 (7 mins)
6. An Introduction to SEO Part 2 (5 mins)
7. An Introduction to PPC (5 mins)
8. What is Affiliate Marketing? (6 mins)
9. More Strategies (4 mins)
10. Conclusions (1.5 mins)

These are all general guides to new online business hopefuls, especially for bloggers (videos 3, 5 & 6), giving you some practical advice such as some copywriting techniques and how you can stand out from the crowd. Some great points are covered. I just wish that these were viewable online (YouTube, Vimeo, etc). You have to download a 133Mb size of a zip file.

"Bank On Crypto" (Cryptocurrency Guide)

I think this 22-page guide is great for those who have no idea what cryptocurrencies and blockchain are. It explains the history behind them, where and how to buy cryptocurrencies, how to store them and some basic buy/sell strategies. 

But the cryptocurrency market is so volatile, it's not like this little booklet can change your life by buying Bitcoins today and making profits tomorrow. As I mentioned earlier, becoming an investor is a whole different option, you need to gain economics knowledge and you need a lot of capital, too. The book is perhaps no more than a "good read".

Cheat Sheet

It's not really a 'cheat sheet', it's misleading. This 6-page e-booklet has some links to other materials such as;

• Side hustle business courses available on Udemy
• Side hustle books on Amazon
• Related blogs such as Side Hustle Nation and Side Hustle Academy
• Related podcasts.

All of them can easily be found just by googling. What's worse is - these blogs and podcasts provide much better, in-depth information than the Side Hustle Secrets package for absolutely free...

Pricing and Refund Policy

Side Hustle Secrets is available for $7, and you are covered by a 60-day money-back guarantee policy. Since it's for sale via ClickBetter, if you're not happy with the product, you can contact the ClickBetter support (access from your email receipt) and ask for a refund.

Now, as I mentioned earlier... This is a PLR product with resell rights attached. The original creator is unknown and anyone can sell the package online with the recommended selling price of $7. If you are still wondering if you should purchase it or not - you can find the whole package downloadable for free elsewhere. I won't show you a link just to be fair. Just google it, and you'll find it!
