If you want to write and publish a Kindle ebook or a paperback book on Amazon for profit, there are some things you need to think about.

For starters, divide the work you need to do into three parts:

• Planning: All the work you need to accomplish before writing or collating.
• Writing: The actual writing, editing and refining stage.
• Publishing: The things you need to do before, during and after the book launch.

Planning

Everything should start with a well laid-out plan to ensure that you’ve got your bases covered.

Decide what to write about
There are many topics you can write about, and it’s easy to branch out and get lost as you write, but if you really want to increase demand for your ebook, you need to choose the right niche.

Start your planning by researching what niches have the most demand and finding which particular topics readers actually spend on.

Once you have your list, choose a specific topic you’re interested to write about. Make sure you have a good working knowledge of your chosen topic to avoid critics and bad reviews – you’ll want to build authority.

If you have a blog and have written about different topics in your chosen niche, you may also consider discussing one of your high-traffic topics at length for the ebook.

Alternatively, you may look through the Best Sellers category in Amazon’s Kindle eBooks page.

Narrow down your topic
Once you’ve chosen a topic, figure out what exactly you’ll discuss in your book and how extensively the topics will be discussed.

If there are many people who already discussed your chosen topic, consider reading what’s already out there and look for an angle that hasn’t been given much focus.

Create a schedule
Regardless of whether you already have content from your blog or will be writing from scratch, you need to create a manageable schedule from preparation to publishing.

For instance, you may give yourself 90 days to finish everything – from inception to book launch. You may set aside a week or two to audit your content and come up with a final topic and outline. Start 

writing after you have an outline and give yourself about 1.5 months to write and refine your content.

Set aside a week or two for editing, design and layout. Then, for the remaining days or weeks, focus on pre-launch marketing.

Consider the costs
Unless you’re skilled at everything that ebook creation requires, you can’t produce a book for free – you will incur expenses.

• Editing
  Once you’re done, look for an editor who can help you further refine your content and clear all the grammatical errors.
  
  
• Cover design
  You can make your own design if you’re skilled, but you may also consider hiring a designer who can create the cover design for your book.
  
  
• Royalty rates
  Amazon allows you to choose the royalty rate you receive for each Kindle ebook and paperback book you sell that meets its list price requirements.
  
  
• Marketing
  You can use free tools and your own platforms to market your ebook, but you may also consider consider using paid services if you want a targeted reach.

Writing

Narrow down your topic
Drafting an outline for the ebook can help you narrow down the subtopics to be discussed in your book – the outline can also double as your table of contents once the book is finished.

Ensure that your content stays focused on one topic and avoid bringing up too many things that you may not be able to fully discuss in the same book – unless it’s the topic for your next ebook.

Perform a content audit
You may look through your blog post to determine if you have specific topics that your audience flock to. Knowing which content has high demand can give you an idea of what your existing audience wants to read about, and knowing this may help draw in more readers.

Likewise, doing an audit can help you figure out if there’s an angle you want to concentrate on, haven’t discussed or one you want to discuss more thoroughly.

Publishing

Publishing your ebook on Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) is the easy part because you only need to create an account by registering with your email address. After this, simply prepare your manuscript and cover, ensure they satisfy KDP’s content guidelines, and enter the details, content and pricing information.

Make sure that your table of contents links to the correct chapters for better user experience.

Marketing
Once you publish your ebook on KDP, it will be available to all users within 24 to 48 hours, so that’s already a form of free marketing without doing much.

However, it’s still best to consider marketing the book on your own channels, such as your blog or website and social media accounts.

You may also consider sending free advance copies to some of your loyal readers and ask them for a review. Make sure to have them indicate that they received an advance copy so their blurbs and reviews won’t be accused of being fake.

If you’ve ever thought about pursuing your passion outside of full-time employment and working on your own time, you may wish to consider working as a freelancer. However, not all freelancing gigs are equal because there are types of jobs that pay higher – especially those that require certain skills.

1. Web development

   Web developers are in high demand because many businesses join the online community to expand their reach without spending too much money. 
   
   Many companies, including large and established ones, are willing to pay skilled professionals to create websites for their brands.
   
   The advantage of web developers is that the programming language they need to learn isn’t as difficult compared with other programmers who build programs from scratch. Some sites, such as Wordpress, already have the tools needed to build a decent and functional website that a basic grasp of CSS and HTML can go a long way.

2. Graphic and web design

   Similar to web development, graphic designers and web designers are in demand among companies that are involved in digital and print media.
   
   In fact, clients may pay from a few hundred dollars up to $10,000 or more for a professionally developed website instead of hiring an in-house designer.
   
   It’s not difficult to learn the skills you need to accomplish graphic and web design work, and while designers may want to purchase expensive equipment for work, it’s not necessary. Rather, the main investment is learning the skills, having the appropriate design software and honing your design sense.
   
   You may also learn some programming languages so you can offer and charge higher for a complete website package.

3. Social media marketing

   Many companies are realising the importance of online presence – some even budget a large amount of money to pay for influencer marketing.
   
   However, paying influencers isn’t the only way a company markets their products and services on social media. Many businesses pay specialists who analyse and strategise their social media content and exposure, as well as run campaigns, to keep their brand visible and relevant.

4. Content and SEO writing

   Anyone can write but not everyone is able to do so in a way that converts content into money – and this is where professional content writers come in.
   
   Professional content writers produce high-quality search engine optimised (SEO) content that cater to both readers’ interests and rank high with search engine algorithms.
   
   

5. Virtual assistance

   Many people make money from assisting companies, small and medium enterprises and freelance businesses with tasks they need to accomplish. Clients usually pay to get some seasonal or regular things done, but they don’t necessarily want to hire a full-time staff to do it.
   
   For instance, some companies simply need help with applicant background checks or interviews schedules. Instead of hiring a full-time or part-time human resource staff or a secretary, some simply contract freelance virtual assistants for the one-time work to get things done.

6. Video editing

   Similar to content and SEO writing, a high-quality video content can make a huge impact for businesses, especially when it comes to first impressions. It’s because of this that many companies hire video editing professionals who already have the skills and tools to make their videos stand out.

7. Voice acting

   Many videos have a script but don’t necessarily require actors – this is where voice acting steps in.
   
   Voice actors lend their voice to clients for a variety of audio productions. They may be involved in narrations, podcasts and audiobooks, among other voice-only media.
   
   Depending on the type of job, experience and the client’s budget, voice actors may easily earn up to $40 per hour.

Freelancing isn’t for everyone

Freelance work may offer a certain degree of freedom both professionally and financially, but this path isn’t for everyone.

If you want to try your hand at freelancing, most experienced freelancers suggest doing it as a side job first to get a feel for the environment you’ll be working in. Likewise, many recommend ensuring that you have enough savings to last for a few months if you want to terminate your full-time employment in favour of freelancing.

A side hustle is an income-generating activity you do on the side while still committed to a full-time employment.

Your side hustle can be a real or digital product or service you can make money from independently – it isn’t attached to an employment commitment.

What should a side hustle earn me?

The amount of money a side hustle earns you depends on how much work you do and the prices you set.

Depending on the product or service you offer, you may earn from $100 to $10,000 or more in side hustle income per month. But as mentioned, this would depend on what you do and how much you hustle.

What are some side hustle ideas?

Sell your products
If you have a product that may have a market, consider producing more and selling them for a profit.

• Packed meals
  If you’re skilled in the kitchen and work with people who have no time to cook, you may consider offering weekly home-cooked packed meals to them for a fee.
  
  
• Baker
  If you like making pastries, you may join a local food fair and sell your baked goods.
  
  You may also accept orders for delivery on your rest days or outside of work hours.
  
  
• Websites
  Buying domains and creating websites can be profitable if you sell the final product to interested businesses.
  
  If there are several interested parties for the domain and website you own, you may even auction it off to the highest bidder.
  
  
• Business ideas
  If you’re good at coming up with potentially profitable businesses, you may create a business plan and sell it to interested parties for a profit.
  
  You may also start up the business yourself – provided you have enough capital to do so – and sell it later on when an interested party approaches.

Sell your services
Below are a few examples of services that you can get paid for.

• Photographer
  If you have photography skills and equipment, you may sell your photos online as stock images. While the price of each image may not be high, you will still earn a royalty each time someone purchases your images – even years after you first sold them.
  
  Likewise, if there are any tourist spots close to where you live, you may also sell your service as a personal photographer to tourists.
  
  
• Dog walker
  If you love animals and have the time, space and energy to care for them, you may consider becoming a pet-sitter or walker.
  
  You get paid for getting some exercise in while walking with a cute dog.
  
  
• Teacher or tutor
  If you’re knowledgeable about certain subjects or have skills other people would pay to learn, you may earn extra money by teaching it (e.g. guitar or painting lessons).
  
  Likewise, you may tutor kids who need assistance with understanding some school subjects.

How side hustles are taxed?

Regardless of how you’re paid, you need to report all your income to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) and pay tax on them.

Your side hustle income should be reported on your tax return and added to your employment income to get your total assessable income.

Taxable or assessable income is your combined income (i.e. business, employment and investments) minus business expenses.

Your total assessable income will determine your effective marginal tax rate which, in turn, will be used to compute the amount of tax you need to pay the ATO.

You may also be eligible for deductions for equipment and other expenses used to fund business activities, provided the following rules are satisfied:

1. If claiming a full deduction, the item or expense must purely be for business use.
2. If usage is both private and business, you may only claim a deduction for the portion that is used for the business.
3. You must keep evidence or records to prove that it is a valid business deduction.

Balancing full-time employment and a side hustle can be challenging. Before you even consider taking up a freelance job or starting a side business, consider first if you’re up for the challenge.

Is a side hustle right for you? 

Starting a side hustle can open up opportunities for income growth, but it also comes with advantages and disadvantages, especially if you have a demanding full-time job.

Consider both sides before committing your time and energy for additional work.

What are the advantages of getting side hustle jobs?

Doing work outside of your full-time job has its perks: 

• Earn extra income
  Starting a side hustle is a good way to earn extra cash and supplement income from your day job.
  
  Many side hustlers started their side jobs for financial gain even if their main reasons are different.
  
  Some wanted to earn extra cash to supplement their income for living expenses, while others do it to increase their savings. There are also a good number of side hustlers who do the extra work to pay off their debts faster.
  
  
• Improve skills or expertise
  Side hustlers typically take on work they’re already skilled at, which means you won’t need to start from scratch.
  
  Others started their side business as a side hustle by doing and monetising what they’re good at and eventually expanding their reach.
  
  In both cases, side hustles pave the way to develop new skills, improve existing skills and exercise entrepreneurial creativity.
  
  
• Test your business plan
  Establishing your business right away may seem like a good way to generate income quickly, but if it doesn’t take off as expected, you may face financial losses instead.
  
  But by starting off your business as a side hustle, you won’t need to fully commit all your time and energy to the business. Likewise, you may test your business plan’s feasibility and limit potential challenges, including financial ones.
  
  Plus, you’ll still receive a regular income from your employer even if you’re not making any money from your side hustle.

What are the disadvantages of getting side hustle jobs?
Working outside of your regular employment also has its disadvantages.

• More work, less free time
  A side hustle is typically done outside of your day job, which means you’ll have to devote a portion of your free time for it.
  
  Likewise, this means that you still have more work to do on top of the workload your employer hands you.
  
  
• Income is not guaranteed
  Your income isn’t regular unless you hustle hard and smart enough to ensure earning it.
  
  
• It can be costly
  Most skill-based side hustles don’t need a lot of capital, but those that require starting your own business can be costly, especially if you don’t have a supplier.

Questions to ask when considering a side hustle

If you’re sure about side hustling, ask yourself the following questions before you begin:

Do you want to work from home or be on the field?
What type of environment do you prefer working in? Think about the type of work you want to do and how you prefer to accomplish it to determine the type of workspace you need.

For instance, you may offer bookkeeping services from your home, a co-working office or as a home service.

Likewise, if you start a food business, you may choose to accept orders for pick-up, delivery or simply sell at local food fairs on weekends.

Knowing where you want to accomplish your work can determine if you will have extra expenses or claimable tax deductions.

Are there initial expenditures for equipment or training involved?
What kind of work will you do and are you equipped enough to get started right away?

Just because one type of freelance work seems easy doesn’t mean you’re equipped with the right knowledge for it – especially if it’s in a different industry that you’re trained for.

Find out what skill level is required to survive and thrive in the side hustle you want to do and determine if you meet the minimum when compared against your fellow beginners.

Consider the possibility that you may need to attend paid training or buy equipment to meet the minimum requirement.

What is the growth potential?
If you plan to turn your side hustle into a full-time activity or full-fledged business someday, consider its potential for growth.

Find out if your market can present opportunities for business expansion or greater financial gain.

You may also consider the improvement of your own skillset as a measure of growth.

Side hustles aren’t for everyone, so don’t quit your day job even if you’ve already decided that you want to devote yourself to it on a full-time capacity.

Instead, take things one step at a time and make sure to reassess your venture at least every three months.

Balancing life with a side hustle

Balancing full-time employment and a side hustle can be challenging.

You need to manage the workload from your full-time employment then deal with more work on top of that. It may sometimes leave you exhausted and on the verge of giving up.

To avoid this, you need to establish a good structure of your daily life that allows you to do both without neglecting your other needs and responsibilities.

How to structure your life while working on a side hustle
Your side hustle is extra work you do outside of your usual work schedule, which may result in added stress and take over your time. This may lead to burnout if you’re not careful.

Prevent this possibility by doing the following things when you start a side hustle:

Create a work schedule
Just as with any endeavour worth doing, a side hustle will take a portion of your free time. But if you’re truly passionate about your side job, you may get distracted by it in the middle of your full-time work.

To avoid this, you need to create a schedule and manage it well.

• Set a time to take a rest
  No matter how young you are, your body needs enough rest to function properly. Ensure that you have a full night’s sleep.
  
  Don’t compromise your health and wellness for the sake of earning extra income.
  
  
• Track your income goals
  Some may have started their side hustle as a passion project, but most people get started to earn extra money.
  
  On this note, it’s important to keep track of your finances and other income goals.
  
  
• Set aside money for taxes
  Unlike working in a company where you receive certain benefits and an employer-sponsored super, you have to pay for all your benefits and withhold taxes yourself.
  
  Make sure to take all your taxable income and business expenses into consideration to simplify the process when you file your tax return at the end of the financial year.
  
  Your total assessable income will determine your effective marginal tax rate, which, in turn, will be used to compute the amount of tax you need to pay the ATO.
  
  Some conditions of your side hustle may also entitle you to tax deductions. Read nestegg’s “Freelancing series: Tax and deductions explained in simple terms” for more information.

Side hustle opportunities to consider

There are many side hustles you can get into. Below are some ideas you may wish to consider:

Get into sales

• Sell items on eBay or Craigslist
  If you like making items that have a demand (e.g. small furniture or jewellery), you may consider selling the finished products on eBay, Craigslist and similar sites.
  
  Likewise, you may free up space in your home by selling extra, unused or pre-loved items. Just make sure to look up prices from similar sellers so your pricing will be competitive.
  
  
• Sell food
  If you’re good at cooking or baking, you may consider selling your finished products at a local food market or to your colleagues.
  
  Another option is to take bulk orders that you can deliver over the weekend.
  
  
• Make an e-commerce website
  You may sell your products on your own website or create e-commerce sites for other companies.

Offer your skills and services

• Local tour guide
  If you have a good knowledge of your local community, you may consider offering your services as a tour guide.
  
  You may sign up with a local tour company or do it independently through online marketplaces like AirBnb.
  
  
• Virtual assistant
  A popular freelance and remote work opportunity, virtual assistants provide a variety of services to clients from all over the world.
  
  
• Online tutoring
  Help students learn topics, subjects or languages better and faster. 
  
  
• Drive for Uber
  You can use your motor vehicle to earn money by driving for ridesharing platforms like Uber.
  
  
• Dog-walking jobs
  If you love animals and walking, why not get paid to walk dogs around the neighbourhood?
  
  
• Provide personal training 
  Some people are too busy to go to the gym even if they want a healthier lifestyle. If you have a good working knowledge on nutrition and proper exercise, you may offer your services as a personal trainer.
  
  Alternatively, some people pay to learn topics or skills from knowledgeable individuals, so you may offer to be their mentor.

Many Australians dream of leaving the nine-to-five behind and creating workable income for themselves – so, how can you do it?

Knowing how to create a side hustle and when it is profitable enough to leave work can be challenging, so nestegg spoke with money mentor Adele Martin, and eBay Australia’s head of communications, Sophie Onikul, to glean some tips on both starting a successful side hustle and how to know when it’s time to take it to the next level.

How can users begin an online business?

Ms Onikul indicated that online businesses need to simply follow a few simple steps to get started with a side hustle. These are:

• Identify a niche. Businesses are more likely to succeed if they develop a speciality, so try to identify a gap in your target market.
• Offer competitive prices on key products to entice customers. This can be done through research of the price points on offer from other businesses.
• Open an online store so buyers can learn about your business.

What strengths and skills are needed to successfully start a side business?

Ms Martin said a successful side hustle begins with having a passion or interest in a particular area, rather than possessing a particular skill set.

“For me, it’s something that people love doing anyway – that friends or family will ask them to do anyway,” the money mentor said.

Ms Martin has given the example of one of her clients – who makes earrings – and then other people asked her “and now she is not having to work outside of the home”.

For Ms Onikul, it’s a matter of understanding how businesses can constantly improve the offering or services they provide through customer feedback.

“You don’t need advanced technical skill, but like any business, the more time you put into it, the more time and hard work you put in, the more you’ll get out of it,” she continued.

Becoming a millionaire?

While many might be hesitant to quit their full-time job, once a side hustle creates more revenue for someone than their personal expenses, they are able to leave behind an employer.

“That’s why [financial advisers] spend lots of time understanding people’s personal cost of living,” Ms Martin said.

She highlighted how one of her clients would have to drop their expenses by upwards of $20,000 if they wanted to turn their side hustle into a full-time gig.

While many online businesses start out as a way to sell items ad hoc or as a way to fund a passion, Ms Onikul has highlighted how thousands of businesses have become millionaires online.

“The number of eBay millionaires has increased by 68 per cent since 2015, bringing the total number of millionaires to over 3,700 Australian eBay millionaires in 20 years,” she said.

nestegg recently revealed that starting a small business in Australia does not require a big financial commitment and is easier than people realise.

Starting a small business in Australia does not require a big financial commitment and is easier than people realise, a financial expert has said.

Dr Steven Enticott is a Melbourne-based expert and entrepreneur who considers that many Australians are missing out on opportunities to earn extra income due to myths and misconceptions surrounding side hustles.

He said that people “wrongly believe that it’s really hard to get a business idea off the ground and that it can’t be done without quitting your day job and spending bucketloads of money”.

“The opposite is actually true: anyone can start a side gig in Australia and boost their income.”

Most side gigs don’t require expensive infrastructure or equipment, Dr Enticott said, and they can be built up progressively.

“You really don’t need a lot of money to start a side gig,” he said.

“Side gigs are simple enterprises through which you can earn a bit of extra money doing something you love.

“For example, it’s free to get an ABN, set up an eBay store or a PayPal account, or just begin offering a service.”

According to the financial expert, Australia is one of the easiest and most tax-effective countries in the world to start a small business.

“You don’t have to have a lot of business experience or a lot of money to launch a side gig, and I believe anyone can do it if they really want to,” he added, before advising would-be entrepreneurs that it doesn’t cost much to book a short appointment with an accountant for honest feedback on a business idea.

Dr Enticott then provided six simple steps he said would make it easy to create a successful side gig:

1. Don’t give up your day job – even if you have a great idea, don’t immediately hand in your resignation.

“Quitting your job could put you under financial pressure and lead you to make bad business decisions that in the long run will make it more difficult to be successful,” the entrepreneur advised.

2. Action plan – you should be able to summarise your business idea and goals on one page.

“Ask your accountant or financial adviser for advice if you are having trouble putting it down on paper and get them to review your plan to ensure there are no unforeseen financial risks.”

3. Minimise costs – it’s important to keep a rein on spending if you want to start a side business.

Only use means of saving or credit that you already have access to and take advantage of free services or products as you are setting up. You should also use existing networks and social media platforms to market your new business for free.

4. Make a sale – once you have started your business, concentrate all your effort on making the first few sales to prove there’s a market for your side gig.

“Your aim should be to get yourself established and slowly start earning an income,” Dr Enticott said.

5. Scale the sale – once you have built up a track record of sales, focus on decreasing expenses and increasing turnover.

This is where an accountant or financial adviser will be able to help identify ways to increase profits and maximise tax deductions.

6. Finance – at this point, you can start thinking about how you will grow your business. Options can include taking out a business bank loan, borrowing from family or friends, or even using crowdfunding platforms such as Kickstarter.

Dr Enticott advised that the amount of money you need and where you get the funding from will depend on your individual business needs.
