What is your side hustle is

---

My side hustle involves three things,

• I sell perfumes

• I can bake.

• A Brand partner with oriflame Skin care.

Perfume business - I started my perfume business when I got admission into the University, since my days of 200level, I have grown bigger in the business and as well have a lot of buyers in school, the business was moving so well for me that I could make sales of #50,000(333 Steem) in one month, this doesn't affect my academics in any way, as sometimes I take the perfume along to classes and tell whoever might be interested in it.

Baking business - although, I just started the baking business, and I believe I will make a lot of progress with it in school as well, the school has been on strike for the past month now, so with that opportunity I took it to invest in myself and take a baking class , which this shows that I am eagerly waiting for resumption so I could make advertisment and make sales with it.

I could make sausage , meat pies, and as well other pastries, it has been going great for me so far,below is the picture of a cake I baked recently.

A Brand partner with oriflame Skin care - I currently own a WhatsApp platform where I advertise my business , and I as well have others who I am tutoring on my WhatsApp page, it has been productive for me so far as well.

The picture above was when I started the business as at January 2022, now I believe I am doing great and I own a consult platform.

I discuss business opportunity and how to grow with the newbies as well, and I take a consultation time with my client to discuss their Skin care.

How do you merge both side hustle and education on campus.

---

It is not as difficult for me as my education comes first, and I only take charge of my business when in my leisure time, I have also been thinking through on how to merge the two together without one affecting the other.

My lectures are mostly in the morning between the period 10:00a.m - 2:00pm, so with the rest of my time I could focus on my business, then at night I get to study more or go for night class.

Sometimes , I could go to friends, or move around my hostel and Inform people about my business and ask them to come and patronize me , it's more of a easy method of business as it doesn't take much of my time.

How many hours to do you work a week on your side hustle.

---

I have already explained this part in the write up above as I distinguished between the time I do spent for lectures and as well the time I do use for my side hustle.

I work the whole week meaning 7 times, but preferably on Sundays, I am always more of business , as within the Sunday period, most students will be in their hostel then I could go and inform them about my business.

On the other working day's , I do dedicate a maximum of 3 hours for my business and this is mostly done within the afternoon period, whereby during the night, I would be able to attend night class and focus the night only on my studies.

conclusion

Life on campus is always interesting, but it is more fun when you have your own money, the idea of doing a side hustle is for the experience of being independent, which in this case, I don't get to depend on my parent for any little things.

Since I have started my side hustle and as well including Steemit, I have been able to acquire a great deal of things for myself, and it has been a great achievement for me.

Thanks for stopping by, hoping to see you'll at the top, I invite @icon-monday, and @yakspeace, to participate in this contest.
