I quit my 9 to 5 job and now make $5k a week with my ‘beginner’ side hustle – it even makes you money as you sleep

A CREATOR has cracked the code to financial freedom, and she’s sharing her secrets with the world.

At just 23 years old, TikToker Brionuh Jadya ditched the traditional 9-to-5 grind and now pulls in anywhere from $1,000 to $5,000 a week through her digital products business — an income stream that works even while she sleeps.

In a viral TikTok video, Brionuh (@brionuhjadya) walks her followers through the simple steps she took to turn this side hustle into a full-time gig, helping others do the same.

The first thing Brionuh emphasizes is that success comes from solving a widespread problem.

"You need to find a profitable problem," she says, targeting issues many people face but haven’t yet found an easy solution for.

The idea is to create a digital product that addresses these problems and offers value — whether it's an e-book, course, or guide.

GET GOOD AT IT

While this side hustle is lucrative, Brionuh is quick to warn that it’s not a get-rich-quick scheme.

"You will need to become an expert on the topic you're talking about," she advises.

The key is to offer information that can’t easily be found elsewhere, creating a sense of value for customers who are willing to pay for your expertise.

Being an expert doesn’t mean knowing everything; it just means being passionate and knowledgeable enough to teach others.

CREATE ON CANVA

Brionuh recommends using Canva—a design platform that’s free and user-friendly, though she would suggest upgrading to Canva Pro for more advanced features.

"Get real creative," she says, encouraging people to make products that look professional and are easy to use.

Whether you're selling an e-book, course, or even a template, it’s crucial to offer something visually appealing and functional.

For example, Brionuh creates educational products, specifically teaching people how to market and sell digital products.

And she’s mastered it: her "Wifi Money Master" course teaches aspiring entrepreneurs the ropes and includes everything she’s learned on her own journey.

PROMOTE PROMOTE

The final step in Brionuh's strategy is all about visibility.

Side hustles and tax implications

The extra income made from side hustles may need to be reported to the IRS.

If you receive more than $600 in gross payouts from a selling platform like eBay, the site will issue you a Form 1099-K to use in your tax return.

Individuals should calculate their adjusted gross income, taxable earnings, and deductions for the year.

Once they have that, they can use the 1040-ES form to calculate estimated taxes.

To reach a wide audience, you need to leverage social media.

"Promote your products in a way where it doesn’t sound salesy," she advises.

Rather than hard-selling, focus on showing people how your product can solve their problems or improve their lives.

Brionuh's approach to TikTok marketing has clearly worked for her, as she has cultivated a strong following and continuously engages her audience with helpful tips on financial independence.

For Brionuh, selling digital products has completely changed her life.

It’s given her the time to focus on self-care, work out, meditate, and even heal emotionally.

As she points out, digital products don’t require inventory, shipping, or heavy upfront costs — making it a low-barrier business model that can be started by just about anyone.

Her success speaks for itself: "This side hustle alone has made me more money than any warehouse, store, or restaurant I've ever worked in."

Her course sales now bring in anywhere from $800 a day to $10K in a month.

There are more side hustles to look into, however, if this is not of interest.

A particular laundry side hustle also made a skillful entrepreneur $1,000 per month.

A teenager makes $250 daily with a lawn side hustle.
