Side hustles allow you to earn extra income, supplement a still-growing business, or get paid for a hobby you enjoy.
你可以兼职赚取额外收入，补贴增长期的业务，或者从喜欢的业余爱好中获得酬劳。
Many people hesitate to start a side business because they think it’ll be complicated. But the truth is, it doesn’t have to be.
许多人对开始做兼职很犹豫，因为他们觉得会很复杂。但事实上，并非如此。
You don’t need to go to an office, hire employees, or spend hours cold-calling to succeed.
你不需要去办公室、雇用员工、也不需要花上几个小时打推销电话才能成功。
Here are 2 side hustles you can start from your couch.
这里有两种兼职，你躺在沙发里都可以做 :
1. PROOFREAD
1.校对
We all have that friend who corrects everyone’s grammar or finds typos in menus and street signs. If you have a knack for finding mistakes in your native language, you could get paid to proofread.
我们都有个朋友，纠正每个人的语法，或在菜单和路牌上找到错别字。如果你有本事，能用母语找到错误，那就可以做校对赚钱。
Freelancing websites like Upwork and Fiverr have a steady stream of proofreading jobs, or you can start asking your friends and business connections to help them eliminate errors in their writing.
一些自由职业网站，比如Upwork和Fiverr提供稳定的校对工作，或者你可以开始问朋友及商业伙伴，帮他们消除写作错误。
Proofreading rates can vary widely. Proofreaders who charge per word can command rates from 2¢ to 7¢ per word, or anywhere from $10 to $90 per hour. Rates depend on the quality of the job, the turnaround time, and the importance of the final document.
校对收费差别会很大。校对员每个单词收费报价可能为2到7美分，或者每小时10到90美元不等。收费多少取决于工作质量、周转时间以及最终文件的重要性。
2. START A CONTENT SITE
2.创建内容网站
I know what you’re thinking: “Seriously? Didn’t everyone and his cousin already bail on their blogs because they got tired of the content-generation hamster wheel?” It may feel that way, but if you’re passionate enough about a subject, it might not feel like work.
我知道你在想什么：“真的吗？大家不是都已经不写博客了吗？重复不停地写内容，已经厌倦了。” 可能会有这种感觉，但如果你对某个主题有足够强烈的兴趣，那可能就不会觉得是在工作了。
And believe it or not, the market is still not saturated. There are millions of topics that people search for every day, and many of them have not been written about yet.
不管你信不信，市场还没有饱和。人们每天搜索的话题有数百万个，其中许多话题还没有被介绍。
Even if your blog is about a popular topic, you can still find your unique angle, says Henneke Duistermaat in her book Blog to Win Business. “You can safely assume that everything about your topic has been written already,” she admits. “However, nobody has said it yet in the way you can say it.”
亨内克•杜斯德玛在她的书《博客赢商》中说，即使你的博客是一个热门话题，你仍然可以找到自己独特的角度。“你可以有把握地假设，你的话题已经被写过了，”她说。“但是，没有人能用你的方式表述出来。”
There are many paths to a profitable blog. Like niche websites, you can promote products through affiliate programs and collect a percentage of each sale. Or you can place ads on each page of your blog and collect a few cents for each impression, or person who views the ad. Another option is to sell information products (see No. 1) to the readers of your blog.
做盈利博客的途径有很多。比如商机网站，你可以通过联盟项目推广产品，从每笔销售中抽取百分比。或者，你可以在博客的每个页面上放置广告，按照每次展示或每次观看收费几美分。另一种方法是向你博客的读者销售信息产品（见第一条）。
If you choose your subject well and use multiple money-making strategies for your blog, you can see monthly earnings of a few hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars over time.
如果你主题选择的很好，而且博客里使用了多种赚钱策略，随着时间的推移，每个月你都可以获得几百到几千美元收入。
If you have a smartphone or computer and an internet connection, the money is yours for the taking. Whether you choose to write, teach, or help someone else succeed, you can start building your profitable side hustle today.
如果你有智能手机或者电脑，可以连接网络，那么这笔钱就很好赚。不管你是选择写作、教学还是选择帮助他人成功，今天开始，你可以开始兼职赚钱了。
