Part 4/8:
Day 3: The E-commerce Hustle
Next comes the traditional yet misunderstood side hustle of e-commerce. Initially perceived as a full-time commitment, our protagonist explores a more hands-off approach through platforms that automate the process. They utilize an AI tool, “Build Your Store,” which builds a Shopify store in minutes and suggests products to sell.
The strategy succeeds in securing one sale at $70, even if it leaves a meager profit of $9 after expenses. The prospect of earning is promising, but the effort combined with potential obstacles keeps it from being a purely lazy side hustle.
Score: 4/5 - With the right tools, e-commerce can operate alongside leisurely activities.
