Alright, let’s cut to the chase. How many times have you found yourself scrolling through your phone, seeing those “make money online” ads, and thinking, “Yeah, right. Another scam.”? I get it. I used to be that skeptic, the one who would roll my eyes at every “get rich quick” scheme, all while silently wishing there was a way to make some real money, without having to resort to selling my kidney on the black market. My bank account was like a stubborn bhindi (okra) dish – it just wouldn’t budge, no matter what I did.
My life felt like a classic Bollywood comedy, where the hero is constantly trying to make ends meet, with a bunch of quirky side-gigs that never actually pay off. I was working my regular job, the same routine every day, and I was constantly looking for ways to earn some extra cash, but nothing seemed to work. It was a grind that was as monotonous as listening to the same song on repeat, and I was slowly losing all my motivation. I needed something that would not only increase my earnings, but something that was fun and enjoyable. And I also needed it fast – like Delhi wale fast!
And then, as luck would have it, the universe (or maybe just a really good algorithm) threw a curveball my way – a little-known side hustle that’s paying some serious big bucks, and all without requiring me to be a coding genius or social media influencer. This wasn’t some grand, complex business idea, it was something I stumbled upon by pure chance. It was a secret, something that only a few knew about, and now I’m about to let you in on it.
My ‘eureka’ moment came during a routine visit to my local mandir (temple). I wasn’t there looking for divine intervention, or financial blessing, I was just trying to find some peace, something that was slowly becoming a luxury in my life. I was there to just meditate, think and be at peace with my own thoughts. But, as is usually the case in India, things don’t always go according to plan. And it was while I was waiting for my turn to offer my prayers, that I saw this huge stack of old religious books.
These were old texts, and various religious books which had been passed on from generations to generations, but they were all a mess. They were all piled up in a corner, unorganized, and frankly, being treated like they were just waste paper. They were filled with wisdom, rich history and culture, and yet, they were just sitting in a corner gathering dust. I then saw the pujari (priest) struggling to find a particular passage in a certain book, and I thought to myself “yaaro, there must be a better way.”
And just like that, the idea was born. My side hustle wasn’t some tech revolution or a complex business venture; it was simple: creating meticulously detailed indexes for old, obscure, and unorganized religious texts. I would go to various temples, libraries, and even private collections, carefully review these texts, and then create comprehensive indexes that would make these works easy to navigate and search. Think of it like creating a Google search for books – a digital roadmap for the countless texts of ancient wisdom. It was both challenging and fascinating. I felt as though I was doing my part in preserving our rich history.
I started small, offering my indexing services to the local mandir. The pujari was so amazed with my meticulous work that, within days, he was recommending me to all his friends in other religious places and institutes. And that’s how word spread about my unique, little side hustle. One index led to another, and then another, and within a week, I was knee-deep in old texts, creating index upon index. It was challenging, sure, but also strangely satisfying. Like untangling a knot that had been bothering you for years.

And the best part? The money. I was making more than I ever imagined I would in such a short space of time. In that first week, I pulled in ₹15,000 – yes, you heard that right, fifteen thousand rupees just by doing something I found genuinely interesting. It was more than what I was making at my day job, and I was spending far less time doing it. My bank balance went from that stubborn bhindi to a celebratory laddu (sweet), and I felt as if the universe was finally giving me a high-five.
Now, let’s be real here; ₹15,000 in one week isn’t going to make you a millionaire overnight. But for me, it was a game-changer. It proved that it is possible to make good money doing something unique, something that goes against the grain, and something that isn’t being offered by everyone. This is the secret – you can get results if you are willing to look for the unusual. This was proof of a side hustle that I had stumbled upon, one that was not obvious and one that I never even considered a possibility. And that’s why it worked.
So, how did I do it? It wasn’t through complex algorithms, or coding wizardry, it was a matter of seeing a need, finding an unaddressed problem, and creating a solution that people are willing to pay for. And all this was made possible with the help of a good digital marketing strategy. I built a basic website that talked about my unique offering, I spread the word through targeted social media campaigns, and I engaged with my potential clients by highlighting my knowledge and expertise in the area.
