The Problem

You're Working Hard,
But Are You Working Smart?

Juggling multiple hustles without data is like driving blindfolded. You're busy, but are you profitable?

You Can't Track Multiple Income Sources

You have salary + freelance gigs + side business + crypto trading. By month-end, you don't know which made you the most money relative to time invested.

No Idea Where to Focus Your Energy

Should you take on more freelance clients or grow your side business? You're guessing based on feelings, not data. Wrong choices waste months.

Hidden Time-Wasters Drain Your Potential

That side hustle you love? It might be earning ₦20,000/month while taking 40 hours of work. You're literally working for ₦500/hour without realizing it.

Can't See the Big Picture

You know your total income, but not the breakdown. Which stream is growing? Which is dying? Which is seasonal? Zero visibility means zero optimization.

Stream Classification

PRIMARY

40%+

of Total Income

Your main income source. The backbone of your earnings.

SECONDARY

MINOR

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the Hustle Optimizer

When you connect your bank accounts and payment platforms (like Paystack, Flutterwave), Nalo reads transaction descriptions to identify income sources. For example, 'Freelance payment from XYZ Corp' gets tagged as 'Freelance' income. You can also manually tag cash income or crypto earnings. Over time, Nalo learns your patterns and auto-categorizes new transactions.

Each income stream gets a score from 0-100 based on: (1) Revenue amount, (2) Month-over-month growth rate, (3) Consistency (stable vs. volatile), and optionally (4) Time investment (if you track hours). A score of 90-100 = excellent performer, 75-89 = solid, 50-74 = average, below 50 = needs review. Higher scores mean better ROI and growth potential.

FOCUS = Your best-performing stream. High score, growing, good ROI. Double down here—spend more time, take on more work in this area. MAINTAIN = Solid performer. Keep current effort level. REVIEW = Underperforming. Low score, declining, or poor ROI. Optimize it, pivot strategy, or consider cutting it to free up time for better opportunities.

YES. For cash income (like market sales, tutoring), manually log transactions in Nalo and tag them to the appropriate stream. For crypto, you can either manually enter transactions or connect supported crypto platforms. Nalo converts everything to Naira equivalents for consistent tracking and comparisons.

This is optional but powerful. For each income stream, you can log hours worked per week/month. Nalo then calculates ₦/hour (income divided by time). This reveals hidden time-wasters—a stream earning ₦100k/month might look good until you realize it takes 80 hours (₦1,250/hour) vs. another earning ₦80k in 10 hours (₦8,000/hour).

ABSOLUTELY. The AI is trained to detect seasonal patterns and irregular income spikes. It won't penalize you for having variable income—instead, it calculates averages, flags volatility risk, and helps you budget for lean months. For example, if you earn ₦0 for 2 months then ₦1.2M in month 3 (real estate sale), Nalo averages it as ₦400k/month and warns you to save during big months.

The Hustle Optimizer is most powerful for people with 2+ streams, but it still works for single-income users. It tracks salary growth, bonuses, and side income opportunities. Plus, it helps you identify potential new streams—Oracle AI can recommend side hustles based on your skills and spending patterns. Start with 1, grow to 2+.

YES! Free users can track up to 3 income streams with basic analytics and manual categorization. Premium users (₦10,000/month) get UNLIMITED streams, AI performance scoring, FOCUS/MAINTAIN/REVIEW recommendations, time tracking, and advanced analytics. If you have 2-3 streams, Free is fine. If you have 4+ or want AI insights, upgrade to Premium.
