Trying to find right online hustle as a college student
Hi! I'm a BS Entrepreneurship student (F20) and I'm feeling a bit lost about what income stream to pursue while studying.
I'm currently learning remote sales, I just started and I'm not planning to land a client yet since school is my priority. I have a flexible part-time job, but I'm not always called in and the income isn't enough for my needs or for saving. I want to start building emergency and savings funds before I graduate.
I used to do digital art commissions, but I feel like my art style doesn't have much demand right now. I've also been curious about Marketing VA work, but I don't fully understand how it works or how people start.
Should I continue improving my art commissions, or pivot to something else like Marketing VA or another low-capital / no-capital income stream?
Not rushing to earn big. just want to learn, experiment, and build something sustainable while I'm still a student. Any advice or experiences would really help. Thanks!
