5 Communication Tools Side Hustlers Think They Need (But Don’t!)

We get it—you’re juggling a day job, a budding biz, and possibly a cat who insists on walking across your keyboard mid-Zoom call. So when someone drops the term “omni-channel communication,” you’re ready to whip out the credit card and stack on subscriptions like they’re loyalty points. But hold up! Not all tools are built for side hustle glory. Let’s debunk the digital fluff.

1. Slack: Great, Unless You Work Alone

If you’re your own boss, manager, and intern, Slack might be overkill. Yes, it’s smooth and shiny with cute emoji reactions—but if you’re only chatting with your dog, maybe skip it.

2. Microsoft Teams: The Corporate Cousin

Useful if you’re stuck in corporate crossover mode, but for solo creators, it’s like bringing a sledgehammer to a paperclip convention.

3. Discord: Gamer Vibes Galore

Love the chaos? Discord’s your jam. But for professional client comms, things can get meme-y real fast. Not always ideal for biz vibes.

4. WhatsApp: Instant, But Not Immortal

WhatsApp is fine—until messages get buried under memes, missed calls, and mom’s forwarded prayer chain. Reliability? Questionable.

5. Email Overload: The Passive-Aggressive Classic

Email is timeless—but slow. Don’t miss real-time opportunities waiting for someone to read that carefully crafted message buried under 143 unread newsletter promos.
