- Your ideas - whether they are things you want to do or never would
- Your experiences/results
Some factors that may be important about the types of work are:
- What you are selling - is it a straight trade of your time? Expertise that allows accomplishing something? A product that you’re good at making? Infrastructure created by making something or use of capital?
- Is it something that you would or already do for fun anyway?
- Does support other types of work/income?
- Does it support other goals? (perhaps social - in meeting people.. or fitness-related by doing physical work, or fulfilling - perhaps by feeling you’re helping other people)
- Is the income easily outside view of the IRS? (some will like this to avoid paying for wars, to just get a better deal on government, or to control income for things like ACA, the recent Covid E.I.P, and possible future forms of UBI.
- How much marketing is needed to get customers?
- How scalable?
- Can you stop and start when you want? (both for daily hours, but also if you want to not do that for some months)
- Seasonality?
Ok.. please share your ideas and experiences!
