If you dream of turning your passion or interest into a money-making machine, you’ll want to hear what Anisha Mehta has to say.

I spoke to her in a recent episode of The Poor Me Podcast and learned that she makes about $500 to $1,000 a month (or more) through her company, Bollyblooms. All while working full-time. And she only devotes a few hours every month. Plus, she gets to teach kids how to dance Bollywood, which is something she loves.

Here’s her best advice.

1. Choose a side hustle you care about

If you pick a project for your side hustle that you don’t love but think might earn cash, you probably won’t stick with it. You have to be willing to put in a lot of hours and to fail over and over again.

Anisha has been working toward her side hustle since 2012. That’s eight years of hard work. If she didn’t love teaching Bollywood dance, she’s pretty sure she would have quit a long time ago.

2. Be flexible with your side hustle, but not with your worth
