🎙 3 evening side-hustle ideas to boost your bank balance

Assalāmu ‘alaykum, rise and shine!

Faisal hither.

Welcome to another Freshly Grounded email, the newsletter that crowns your inbox like a royal coronation.

I’m sure your inbox has been pretty dry lately as our last email drop was 5 days ago. So i must begin with an apology. TO ABSOLUTLEY FREAKIN’ NOBO…

no we are actually sorry. We like to bring some sort of value in these emails and sometimes that takes a minute to marinate. But we’re here now, and here’s what’s on the menu today:

• Evening side-hustle ideas: unlock £1k/month with just a few hours work

• PC paul dropping bars

• New episode of the pod

Night Owls Rejoice: £1,000/Month Side-Hustles for Your Evenings

looking for some extra moola? through running the pod and working on different projects, i’ve come across a few ways that you can monetise your evenings without giving up your main shtick. For that reason, i’ve compiled 3 of those ways below (+ also i really wanted to use the below meme)

1. Copywriting

no i’m not talking about legally trademarking an item. Copywriting involves crafting text content for businesses, typically for blog posts or marketing materials. Businesses are willing to pay handsomely for this service, not because they lack the ability to do it themselves, but because it demands dedication to convey the company's message effectively through various materials. With the right client, you can spend just two hours per evening writing copy to earn that extra income. And now with the rise of AI its even easier to generate ideas or restructure without the putting arudous hours into editing.

2. Short-form video editor

Short-form content is the most popular type of content online. On FG, in the last 28 days we garnered over 1M views on YouTube shorts alone (thx, btw). The point is that these videos are now incredibly valuable for all businesses and must be created with intention. If you possess basic video editing skills, enhance your abilities with a few tutorials and secure a client.

3. Outreach/Sales

Companies are always in search of new clients, and influencers are always seeking brand deals. An outreach dude invests time in researching and identifying the most suitable individuals for your client, and then initiates contact with a well-crafted email. One approach is to offer your services to companies by reaching out to potential clients on a commission basis. If you close a £1,500 deal for someone and take a 15% commission, you'll earn £225 per transaction. Not a bad return for sending a few emails in the evening.

What-I-saw-that-made-me-smile of the Week

I might be late to the party but if you haven’t yet seen this tiktok of PC Paul dropping some serious heat, it’s a must. Hopefully this wakes someone else up as much as it did me!

New Episode of the Pod

We just dropped a new episode and this one’s a banger. Simon (@simonsayssquat) talks about how to capitalise from social media without oversharing, and delves in to his revert story.

What Else is Happening:

• We’re still waiting for our 100k plaque to arrive before we announce it publicly but you can still apply for our members-only private community (segregated) here.

• Some of you have been buying the merch already and we haven’t officially dropped it! If you have one, email us a pic and you might get featured!

• This week, FG regular, Suleyman, faced the heartbreaking news of his father returning to Allāh. Any of you who have experienced similar losses will understand the profound impact that words of solace and heartfelt duas can have during these trying moments. Feel free to drop him a msg

• Remember, you can reply to these emails (we read them) by just hitting reply. It helps us know how you’re finding them and what you’d like to read.

That’s all for this Sunday morning, enjoy your coffee!
