“You’re earning or experimenting on the side.”

✅ Definition:

Part-time entrepreneurs testing income ideas while maintaining a primary job or life commitment. Their businesses are small by design—low-risk, flexible, and often exploratory.

✅ Common Business Types:

• Affiliate marketing
• Print-on-demand or dropshipping
• Niche content monetization (YouTube, TikTok, newsletters)
• Etsy or Gumroad shops
• Freelance gigs on the side
• Creator collabs without long-term commitment

✅ Key Marker:

They’re not full-time founders (yet). The goal is side income, creativity, or skill-building—not scaling a business.
