These days, 9 out of 10 office workers do this. “I do this for 3 hours a day.”
“Salary is not enough” N Job Up 41% in 5 years
Recently, due to the rapid rise in prices and high interest rates, the number of jobbers taking on side jobs is increasing.
According to the Federation of Korean Industries, the number of side hustlers working two jobs was 547,000 as of the first to third quarters of last year.
Among them, the number of second-timers responsible for the household's livelihood reached 368,000, the highest ever. Compared to 261,000 in 2017, there was a whopping 41% increase in 5 years.

The number of side hustlers in their 20s and 30s also increased by 37% from 78,000 to 107,000 in 2017.
The Federation of Korean Industries explained that since 2018, when the 52-hour workweek was introduced, the participation rate in side jobs has increased along with the decrease in working hours at main jobs, and that workers appear to be working side jobs to make up for their reduced income.
In the end, this means that many people are forced to take on side jobs because it is difficult to maintain a normal daily life with only a salary or to live the way they want.
The easiest part-time job is offline?
Many people want to get a side job at something they are good at.
As a result of a survey of 864 office workers conducted by part-time job portal Albamon and talent trading app Geekmon, 89.1% of respondents answered, 'I want to try a side job to utilize my talent.'
However, in reality, one of the most popular side jobs is offline part-time work, such as delivery or store employees.

In this survey, 61.4% of respondents answered that they had ‘experience with side jobs,’ and ‘offline part-time jobs’ were selected as the most experienced side jobs at 28.5%.
This can be interpreted as the idea that the barrier to entry is relatively low and you can make money without much difficulty or complexity. This trend becomes more pronounced as you reach middle age.
Looking at the N-job items desired by age group, those in their 20s ranked SNS management and document work as the top priorities. People in their 30s had a high preference for handmade products.
On the other hand, many people in their 40s wanted offline part-time jobs. It is interpreted that this is because they are less familiar with the online world than the 20s and 30s generation, so they feel a vague fear.
But that's not the case. Side jobs using purchasing agencies or smart stores also have the advantage of not having a high barrier to entry, being able to start with minimal capital, and being able to operate stably even after work.
If you don't know anything, "just follow this"
The problem is that I want to start a purchasing agency business as a side job, but I don't know where to start.
There is a way. You will meet a proven expert who has built his own know-how for success through numerous trials and errors.
Minsoo Park, CEO of Selim System, also started a business with no capital and achieved sales of more than 500 million won in three years. CEO Park has extensive know-how in overseas purchasing agencies and online shopping malls.
More than 80% of the novice purchasing agent sellers that CEO Park has taught so far have succeeded in generating sales. In particular, one student in his late 40s achieved monthly sales of 2 million won in 27 days.
CEO Park commented on the amazing achievements of students in their late 40s:
Firstly, just because you are computer proficient and faster than the 2030 generation does not mean you will be successful.
Second, because they don't know much, they trust the instructor's words 100% and push forward with the work like a bulldozer.
This time, CEO Park Min-soo will be holding a 'Money Routine' lecture to teach daily purchase agent know-how with Cider Economy, a platform specializing in economics and finance education.
In addition to general theoretical lectures on purchasing agency, we provide customized missions for each lecture to encourage active participation and results from all students.
A daily purchasing agency that will see your sales skyrocket if you follow it diligently. I hope you learn all the know-how from Money Routine.
