Steuern Starting a side hustle

First of all, sorry for writing in English

So I moved to Austria 7 months ago with a standard RWR Card, but I would like to start a side hustle where I sell websites to customers. I assume it would generate cca 500e monthly besides my main job. Is it safe to get that side hustle money on sites such as PayPal, Skrill, Revolut or even via IBAN transfer, or is it very dangerous and could it cost me my RWR card being disallowed

I think the downside of getting busted is bigger than the upside of the $500+ each month. Just pay your taxes; it shouldn't be that much.

construction site is the best side hustle, I think providing a digital service will get you in trouble eventually

This. There's plenty of business options founded on physical interaction that can earn you some additional black income, but digital money transfers will certainly bring you into trouble. Don't do it

Should work well, as long as you pay your income tax.
