About this Item

Paperback. Most advice about side income is written by people whose side income is selling advice about side income. This book takes the opposite approach: it screens hard, prices honestly, and spends as much time on the paperwork as on the earning, because the paperwork is where the money quietly leaks away.It opens with a method for choosing one, then works through the three real categories: selling your time, selling things, and selling what you know. Each is assessed on what it actually pays per hour once the unglamorous parts are counted. A chapter on pricing builds up from your own floor rather than from what competitors appear to charge.Then the machinery. Getting paid and chasing invoices. Self-employment tax and quarterly estimates, explained in plain numbers. Deductions, mileage and the records that make them defensible. Health insurance and the subsidy cliff that catches people who earn slightly more than they planned. What your day job contract may say about outside work, and which benefits a second income can put at risk.The last chapters cover entities, licences and insurance, what to do with the money once it arrives, and how to judge whether the hours are still worth it. It ends twelve months in, with an honest look at what continuing costs and what quitting would free up. Screening, pricing and paperwork for a second income. Self-employment tax, quarterly estimates, mileage records, the subsidy trap, and knowing when to stop. This item is printed on demand.

About this title

Synopsis

Most advice about side income is written by people whose side income is selling advice about side income. This book takes the opposite approach: it screens hard, prices honestly, and spends as much time on the paperwork as on the earning, because the paperwork is where the money quietly leaks away.

It opens with a method for choosing one, then works through the three real categories: selling your time, selling things, and selling what you know. Each is assessed on what it actually pays per hour once the unglamorous parts are counted. A chapter on pricing builds up from your own floor rather than from what competitors appear to charge.

Then the machinery. Getting paid and chasing invoices. Self-employment tax and quarterly estimates, explained in plain numbers. Deductions, mileage and the records that make them defensible. Health insurance and the subsidy cliff that catches people who earn slightly more than they planned. What your day job contract may say about outside work, and which benefits a second income can put at risk.

The last chapters cover entities, licences and insurance, what to do with the money once it arrives, and how to judge whether the hours are still worth it. It ends twelve months in, with an honest look at what continuing costs and what quitting would free up.
