As a "side hustle"?

Neither. I only meet with people who are close to Medicare. So I only mail them. I only do seminars now. "Confused about Medicare" come to my education event.
There will be a learning curve.
You can read all about insurance products.
Or cast iron skillets.
But until you put your knowledge into PRACTICE you will never really learn the product.
Years ago I took up golf. It was a "requirement" of my job. Watched a bunch of videos. (This was before DVD's existed). Took some lessons. Went to the driving range.
First time I actually played I shot 90.
Then on the back nine I didn't do so well.
Study. Ask questions. Then be prepared to blow a lot of sales your first few weeks.
Haha I was ready to pull the BS flag. Good one

Singular focus!

Here's the thing, We turn on new agents. We provide them resources. Like trainers, etc. But I always use the analogy that you need to climb Mt. Everest. We provide the Sherpas to help carry your load from Base camp 1-3. But at some point as a Part time agent, you will recognize that you get stuck often bouncing back and forth from base camp 2 and 3. Never going for the summit. Because you don't have a singular focus. At some point you are caught in a winter storm, you cant breathe, you are sick of the food. Winter in the Himalayas is coming and you are not doing what it takes to get to the top. Your learning curve is Mt. Everest. Your IA agency is Mt. Everest. You can't go back down in the morning to do your day job and try to summit Mt. Everest at night or quickly, or haphazardly. You got to sell your car, get to the Himalayas, train, buy supplies, get your mind and body ready and take 3 months and go do it completely.

You seem to be making a major mistake at this juncture, and it's one that a lot of agents make.
Stop over analyzing everything. You seem to be all over the place. I saw another post where you mentioned an LLC and then some complicated structure after that.....
This business really isnt that difficult.
Get licensed.
Get trained.
Prospect (or buy leads)
Sell em
Keep it simple in the early days. It's a steep learning curve and ultimately only learned by doing it.

I think you can do insurance part time in the beginning as long as your hours worked are used for prospecting.
You seem to be analyzing a lot right now. I'd recommend asking an agent if you can cold call for them for about a month. Get a feel for talking on the phone to people who aren't expecting your call. If you can handle that type of interaction plus the rejection then you will have a better idea if this is for you or not.
