A friend texted, “My company has been laying off in multiple phases and I am never at peace. I always keep feeling that I am next. I desperately need to find some clients on the side to ensure my financial security!”
Onboarding clients is an excellent way to use your extra time and make some extra bucks 💰
But be safe 😅
3 tips to moonlight the right way while balancing your job ✅
Check your offer letter. Many companies clearly mention their competitors that you cannot work for.
Even if it is not mentioned anything about side jobs, these are the 3 things that you should absolutely follow –
1️⃣ Avoid your company’s industry 👉 Knowingly or unknowingly, you might share both companies’ trade secrets or some internal information. Even if you don’t, why give a sense of doubt to your employer?
Go as far as possible from your core job’s industry. The target audience and vendors should not mix and match at all.
2️⃣ Discuss with your employer 👉 The toughest problems are sorted out by communications. It’s your career path and time. Nobody really wants to stop you. They are just concerned.
It’s not about permission. It’s just about keeping your employer in the loop to keep them aware of your activities.
3️⃣ NEVER use your company’s resources 👉 It’s unethical. Never use resources from your day job to work for your side projects or clients.
Resources include everything like an internet connection, laptop, online tools, or literally anything provided by your company. It also includes the time of your office.
TODAY’S ACTION ITEM FOR YOU
If not your current job, what would you do? 🤔
A developer can be a marketer. A writer can be a designer. A data analyst can be a virtual assistant.
A creative ads specialist for a jewelry business can be a documentation writer for an online company.
The possibilities are endless ♾

BOOK I AM CURRENTLY READING
Currently reading “You Only Live Once” by Maxine Morrey. It’s too early to give a review or comment on it because I am just done with 2 chapters.
It seems it is a love story and not something that I ideally pick. But I believe it’s always good to go out of your comfort zone and experience different things.
AROUND THE WEB
I have started using ChatGPT Plus and I must say it is totally worth the investment if used properly. It’s like hiring an assistant 👩💻
First of all, it can crawl web pages and read the information. I am using it to analyze pages.
Secondly, ChatGPT Plus has several plugins. These tools work on top of ChatGPT to boost the output. For instance, some plugins can understand YouTube videos, while others can read PDFs.
There are many games, live coupon finders, diagram creators, research paper finders, data scrappers and literally anything that you can imagine!
LOVING IT! 🤩
