If you’re alive in 2018, you’ve probably heard of the side hustle. These days, it seems like everybody has one. In fact, if you’re a millennial, half of your peers already do.
生活在2018年，你可能聽說過兼職。現(xiàn)如今，每個人好像都有兼職。其實(shí)，如果你是千禧一代，半數(shù)你的同齡人中已經(jīng)在做兼職了。

And sure, you may only earn a little per month at first. But because these side hustles cost almost nothing to start, the money you rake in will become pure profit.
當(dāng)然，可能你最初每個月賺的錢不多。但是因?yàn)樽鲞@些兼職幾乎不需要成本，所以你賺的錢就會成為純利潤。

Excited yet? Here are 4n side hustles you can start from your couch.
已經(jīng)心動了嗎？這4種兼職，你躺在沙發(fā)里都可以做。

1. SELL AN INFORMATION PRODUCT
1.出售信息產(chǎn)品

People love to learn new things, and you can profit from packaging your advice, knowledge, or expertise into a sellable product.
人們喜歡學(xué)習(xí)新事物，你可以把自己的建議，知識或技能打包成可銷售的產(chǎn)品。

Are you an expert at getting the best deals at Disneyland? Know how to train pets? Give good dating advice? You can turn those insights into an ebook or course that people will pay for.
你是不是很擅長獲得迪士尼樂園優(yōu)惠？知道如何訓(xùn)練寵物嗎？有沒有好的約會建議？你可以把這些見解轉(zhuǎn)化成電子書或課程來銷售。

With information products, you pay an initial cost to create the resource and the website where it’s hosted, but it costs you nothing to produce extra copies of the book or course for new customers.
對于信息產(chǎn)品，你需要支付初始成本來創(chuàng)建資源以及儲存資源的網(wǎng)站，而為新客戶復(fù)制書籍或課程則無需任何費(fèi)用。

That means that after you cover the initial costs of creating the product, you’re looking at almost pure profits from each sale.
這意味著在投入創(chuàng)建產(chǎn)品的初始成本后，每次的銷售所得都基本是純利潤。

If you create a solid information product and promote it well, it could earn you substantial passive income for years to come.
如果你創(chuàng)建了可靠的信息產(chǎn)品，而且推廣得很好，今后幾年，它能給你帶來可觀的被動收益。

For instance, if you sell an ebook about dog training for $10 and get an average of 25 people to buy it every month, you’ll rake in an extra $2,500 per year.
例如，如果你以10美元的價格出售一本如何訓(xùn)練狗的電子書，平均每個月有25人購買，那么你每年將有2,500美元的額外收入。

Or if you build an interactive course teaching men how to talk to women and sell it for $1,000, just one purchase a month will boost your income by $12,000.
或者，你創(chuàng)建一門交互式課程，教男人如何與女性交談，并標(biāo)價1000美元出售，那么每月只要有一個人購買，一年就可以增加12,000美元的收入。

如果你非常注重細(xì)節(jié)，對比自主創(chuàng)業(yè)，更愿意與他人合作，這對你來說可能是一個獲利頗豐的選擇。

像Upwork和Fiverr這樣的自由職業(yè)網(wǎng)站經(jīng)常為虛擬助理提供就業(yè)機(jī)會。你可以與客戶協(xié)商薪酬，在接受工作之前，明確工作任務(wù)。
