Side hustling is a huge part of our economy — and it’s growing. In fact, a May 2019 study conducted by BankRate found that nearly half of working Americans (45 percent) report having a gig outside of their primary job. That’s up nearly 10 percent from just one year ago.
Certainly side hustles, or “gigs,” are a viable option for working people to stay afloat if the income from their primary job doesn’t quite make ends meet. But gigs also help workers get out of debt, create more disposable income, boost savings, turn passion into profit —and even test out the entrepreneurial waters.
Interestingly, Bankrate’s survey also found that a large number of highly educated, comparatively wealthy Americans take onside work: 43 percent of people with annual household incomes of $80,000 or higher, and 47 percent of those with postgraduate degrees. They spend an average of 12 hours per week on these side hustles.
It seems that creating an additional income stream is becoming the norm!
So what are they hustling? Certainly some are earning spare cash by driving for Uber or Lyft, tending bar at the pub down the street, or selling beauty products to friends and acquaintances.
But sales professionals are also turning to networking to earn extra cash … something they can do during the work day.
Since they’re already working with valued customers — and have built trusting relationships — they’re in the ideal place to help these customers solve additional business needs. By partnering with SalesGig®, the sales pros have access to a highly qualified network of product and service providers. If they refer one of these providers they get paid for the lead —and a deal closes — the sales pro earns a commission too. It’s that simple.
The buying game is changing. Whether buyers are shopping for themselves — or for their companies — they’re moving away from traditional marketing and placing more value on word-of-mouth referrals.
In fact, an IMPACT study shows that about 62% of today’s consumers search online for reviews and information before purchasing a product — and 90% believe brand recommendations from friends.
By providing these referrals, you can build a stronger relationship with your current customers. This makes you an even more valued business partner … all while you’re building an additional income stream.
So what are you waiting for? You’re in charge. You can build the future you want — and SalesGig® can help. Sign on and get started.
