Side Hustles, Passive Income, & Finance
I’ve always loved finding creative and unorthodox ways to make money. I’ve also been a proponent of creating passive income streams or saving money by using resources that are already readily available to you. I started a phone farm back in college, which was essentially a bunch of old burner phones that sat on my desk and earned money every day by watching videos/advertisements: I’ve…
We’re living in an age where the term ‘gig economy’ is being tossed around frequently, and a lot of people are starting to make a living through hustling. You’re your own boss, you set your own hours, and different tasks require skills that might be right up your alley. This can be immensely appealing. Considering the popularity of gig economy platforms, I have decided to compile…
When it comes to saving money, there’s nothing more satisfying than being paid simply because you shopped. Cash back or reward apps that save money are a dime a dozen these days, and that’s for good reason. According to the Colloquy Loyalty Census Report, loyalty program membership in 2017 growth grew by 15% to 3.8 billion, largely due to cash back incentives. If there’s one thing for…
When it comes to getting started with investing, it can be difficult to know where to start, especially if you are a young adult or recent graduate just entering the job market.

You’ll have…
I’ve always been interested in finding ways to generate passive income. The harsh reality is that most money making endeavors take an immense amount of time and effort before you can reap any rewards. From starting a money making blog to investing in dividend paying stocks or funds, wealth generation can take months or years to kick into gear. However, there’s always some free money…
Well, it’s hard to believe it’s already the end of Q2 and that we’re halfway through summer (here in Canada). The last 3 months have been an absolute blur. While I’ve enjoyed switching to a quarterly blog recap format, it really makes these updates harder to write…I mean, I can barely remember what I had for breakfast yesterday, let alone what I’ve been up to…
I was approached by a Hurdlr representative 2 months ago via email. They asked me if I would mention Hurdlr on This Online World since it could be a great app for side hustlers who are looking to track mileage, business expenses, and save money when filing their taxes. I’ve finally had time to install the app to play around with it and read some…
