Turning Side Hustles Into Real Income Since 2004
Hi, I’m Frank Lam Sheung — a full-time affiliate marketer, entrepreneur, and the creator of The Side Hustle Site.
My journey into online income started back in 2004, long before side hustles were even called that. I was a regular guy looking for extra income and flexibility — and I stumbled through a lot of hype, scams, and shiny promises before figuring out what actually works.
Over the years, I’ve tested dozens of platforms, programs, and business models — from affiliate marketing to freelancing, content creation, and niche websites. Some of them failed miserably. A few changed my life. And every single one taught me something worth sharing.
Why I Built This Site
I started The Side Hustle Site to create the kind of resource I wish I had back when I began — honest, experience-based, and practical.
This isn’t a site full of empty “get rich quick” advice or AI-generated listicles. Everything here is written with one goal:
To help real people find real ways to make extra money — without wasting time or falling for hype.
Whether you’re a student, a stay-at-home parent, a burned-out professional, or just someone looking for more freedom, there’s a side hustle out there that fits your life. I’m here to help you find it.
What Makes This Site Different?
- First-hand experience – I don’t just write about side hustles. I’ve tried most of them myself.
- Actionable advice – You won’t find fluff here. Just practical ideas and how to get started.
- Real transparency – If I recommend something, it’s because I’ve used it — and I’ll tell you exactly why.
Some links on this site may be affiliate links, which means I might earn a commission if you sign up. But I only recommend tools and platforms I’ve tested or truly believe can help.
Meet My Why
I live in New Zealand with my wife Vicki and our two sons, Jackson and Jacob. They’re the reason I do what I do — and the reason I care so deeply about helping others find sustainable income streams that give them freedom and time with the people they love.
