However much your salary may increase, it will never be enough. Research has shown that it’s human nature for one to yearn to earn more and more as their lifestyle changes.
For that reason, Johnmary Kisembo, a 34-year-old lawyer who lives in Muyenga apartments, said that the more money you get, the more problems you have in Africa. Kisembo takes trips with friends and eats in restaurants many times a week.
By his own admission, Sam said that his salary is high, but somehow it never feels high enough.
“I am lucky; as per Uganda’s standards, I’m among the highest earners in terms of income, and I appreciate that I’m very privileged. But at the same time, I keep yearning to make more; therefore, it’s just human nature,” he explained.
As a result, it is important to start a business that gives you daily income and supplements your monthly income. Below are the ideas of businesses that can generate profits:
Tax advisory and bookkeeping: New regulations by the Uganda Revenue Authority and the Uganda Registration Services Bureau created demand for such services.
Mobile massage parlor: these services are trending of late in Uganda, and they normally charge between UGX 50,000-300,000 per hour depending on the location.
Mobile hair plaiting services: clients pay between UGX 50,000-250,000 for plaiting their hair.

Website design: One can easily make money by designing websites using free templates that exist online.
Social media marketing: Many organizations need people who are social media addicts to help them to maintain and promote their online image.
Barbershop: Barbershops are a good source of daily income since people have to look good every day.
Night car parking and washing bay: Night car parkings are a good way to generate daily income with minimal effort. What one needs is a secure place, an armed security guard, and good lighting.
Fast food restaurant: When located in the right place, fast food restaurants can be profitable. Ideal locations include universities, boarding schools, and busy commercial areas.
Real estate brokering: Brokers have a search fee of between UGX 20,000 and UGX 50,000, irrespective of whether one rents a premise or not.
However, running a side hustle when you have a white-collar job that keeps you working long hours at work can be difficult to maintain, manage, and grow since most workers are dishonest and unreliable.
