So here's the thing: I'm 27, i I have a pharmacy degree, i have the skills to write, design simple stuff, research, 2.5 years of hospital pharmacy experience and a publication, and most improtantly, I live in a third world country. I'm trying to keep being in the pharmacy business, but landing a job is hard, and pay is honestly shit. I'm looking to generate passive income, alongside my day time job (currently unemployed, but not going to give up the industry). since I have some time on my hands now besides job hunting. I've seen countless videos, literally. I've tried countless stuff from beer money things (UX Army, Clickworker, prolific, etc.) to creating digital products (i've been making productivity tools aimed at overwhelmed/neurodivergent people, never good at selling or promoting neither online nor on social media, i just feel terrible at it). and ofc, freelance work (i have no real portfolio to market). oh, and i have a blog and a substack newsletter on literary and psychological stuff, and i'm writing health awareness articles on medium.

so, safe to say im really overwhelmed.
Is there any advice you can give me on which of my skills can be most scalable based on my location? which of them would be most sustainable alongside a full time job, and can carry with me through the coming transitional stages of my life?
if you've made it this far you're a rockstar ily.

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a legitimate side hustle to earn some extra income during my free time. There are so many opportunities online that it's hard to tell what's real and what's a scam, so I'd really appreciate advice from people with actual experience.

A little about me:

I have a full-time job, so this would be part-time.

I'm willing to learn new skills if needed.

I'm looking for something sustainable rather than a "get rich quick" scheme.

Open to both online and offline opportunities.

If you've found a side hustle that's genuinely worth your time, I'd love to hear:

What you do

How you got started

How much time it takes each week

Realistically, how much someone can expect to earn

Thanks in advance! I'm looking forward to hearing your recommendations and experiences.
