💰 Let’s talk about money today. I have about 8 or 9 income streams right now. No, I’m still not rich, but I will be soon. And I would like you to become rich with me so here are all the ideas I’m implementing to get rich, and you can too in your life.
✋ No this is not another internet clickbait scam way to make you buy something from me. I mean you totally can if you want to, but this post isn’t about adding to my income. It’s about empowering you to have your own multiple revenue streams.
🧮 Full disclosure, 90% of my side-income streams have generated a total of about $400, 5% of my income streams have gone negative in about $8000, so I may not be the best person to look up to for financial planning.
Okay that was the worst pitch ever but hear me out. I still believe in the “potential” of all of these income streams. What streams you say? Well, these streams 👇
- 💸 | Ph.D. Stipend, it was originally $20,000 per year for 4 years, but then my university reduced it to $6000 per year when I got an external funding
- 💴 | The external funding from FRQNT (another scholarship) of $21,000 per year until the end of my Ph.D.
- 👩💻 | Summer internship at Ericsson for $30/hour
Those are my “main” income streams and we can bundle them all together into “salary” category for most people. Here are my “extra” income streams 👇
- 📉 | Investment in ETFs, Crypto (the reason behind the big negative), but this is longterm kinda thing so in 10 years it won’t matter that it was in negative today
- 📆 | Coaching sessions for students → This is the biggest contributor to my $400ish income from side hustles
- 📜 | CV templates → Let’s call them digital products, and yes people do pay for quality templates. In fact, templates are such a popular thing these days that one of my fellow Part-Time YouTuber has built a 7 figure business off the back of Notion templates
- 🔗 | Affiliate Marketing → Remember when I reviewed the course Part-Time YouTuber academy? Well, some people liked it, and bought the course by using the link in the description of my YouTube video, and guess what? That made me about $170
- 👩🏫 | Skillshare course and referrals → I created a Skillshare course on how to make good CVs and then referred people to Skillshare so that makes me a tiny bit of revenue as well. I’m planning to make more courses in future.
- ☕️ | Buy me a Coffee links → A tiny portion of that $400ish income came from some very kind people using my buy me a coffee links and well, buying me a coffee. In hindsight I should probably take a break from coffee for a while.
- ✅ | My soon to be monetized YouTube channel will be the next stream of income. Actually, it’s not so soon. I still need a lot of people to be watching a lot of my videos to get my channel monetized, but if you’d like to help at no cost to you, the best way would be to watch, like, share, and comment on my YouTube videos.
❓How can you start your side income today?
You can literally use all of the ways I mentioned starting today. Make Notion templates, teach others a skill you have, create a course about your knowledge, sell digital products and services. The possibilities are truly endless.

❤My Favourite Things
🎬YouTube Video:
Did you see my YouTube video about 7 most useless degrees in 2022? I genuinely loved doing the research for this video and making it, and I think it’s one of my favourite videos so far.
📕Book:
I’m listening to Dune on Audible. It’s VERY long, so I went ahead and read the summary on the internet. Should I continue listening to it or quit and switch to another book?
📝Quote:
It is the tension between The Entrepreneur’s vision and The Manager’s pragmatism that creates the synthesis from which all great works are born. from The E-Myth Revisited by Michael E. Gerber
🎶Music:
Imagine Dragons posted new songs on their YouTube channel so obviously I’m listening to that until I’ve memorized the lyrics.

My touch typing has actually improved. I have finished including all the alphabets now and I last week I hit 42wpm for the first time. Wish me luck.
