How To Start Your Own Side Hustle in HR
Alan Collins

Side hustling in HR can deliver extra income faster than you think.

For years, I made a few extra bucks outside of my HR day job.

Here's what I did that YOU can too...

  1. Teaching HR classes at 2 local universities & 1 community college.

  2. Providing job search advice, resume-writing & career coaching.

  3. HR consulting with tiny mom & pop businesses, churches & non-profits.

  4. Writing HR articles for blogs & websites.

  5. Self-publishing 2 HR books on Amazon.6

  6. Giving speeches, presentations & talks.

  7. Conducting Myers-Briggs training & leadership workshops for different outside groups.

  8. Ghost writing employee handbooks, policy manuals, special reports for small businesses.

The point: You're not limited to your day job. Your HR skills have enormous value.

Don't be afraid to share your expertise and charge for your services.

It'll validate your value, re-energize you and others will profit from your experience.

Here's how to get started

Step 1: Think about your HR day job as simply 1 side hustle with 1 primary customer (your current employer).

Step 2: Now ask yourself, "What else can I offer and to whom, without risking my main gig?"

That's all it takes.

It's never been easier.

Now go get started.
