Efficiency Check

A side hustle is only viable if the Return on Time Invested (ROTI) exceeds your opportunity cost. Driving 30 minutes to make a $10 delivery is often a net loss when you factor in gas and depreciation.

Time Audit

Don't just count the "active" hours. Include prep time, commuting, packaging, and messaging clients. These are all billable hours you are spending.

Hidden Costs

Platform fees (Upwork, Uber, Etsy) take 5-25% off the top. Then taxes take another 25%. Your $100 gig might only put $50 in your pocket.

The Reality

The goal of a side hustle is specific: scalable income. If your effective hourly wage decreases as you scale, you have a bottleneck.
