In the ever-increasing materialistic world we live in, do you ever find your money doesn’t quite cover the lifestyle you want? Many people are turning their spare time into time for a side hustle. It’s important to not think that a ‘hustle’ is something underground and sneaky because a side hustle means a job on the side.

Due to an increase in working from home, there has been a rise in people having a side hustle to gain extra income. The same financial rules apply with a side hustle such as tax etc, so it’s important to follow these.

Voice Over Work

You do need a microphone and some time to read aloud, but it’s a very good form of passive income. If an author enjoys your voice, they will more than likely hire you for multiple or subsequent projects, which means more income in the long run. This is dependant on the sales of the book, but a lot of individuals that have recorded a book will get paid in different ways. Some authors will pay you a lump sum, however, some will pay you a small amount with each sale. It depends on the author and platform you use to record and submit auditions with.
