Q: Lately, I search and study hard how I can earn some money through side job. Although there is a lot of way, it’s hard to decide the most suitable and effective job to me.

After the semester started, it’s crucial to set aside time for side job. Otherwise, it’ll likely be hard to reach how much I’d like to earn. Does this sound natural?

1. The word "lately" tells me this is still happening. You want to use the pres. perf. progressive (I have been searching)

This is different from:

● the simple present which states something that happens regularly.
For example, "I search"

● the present perfect ("I have searched") which is used for an action that started at some time in the past and is still continuing now. This is used with "for (how long)" and "since (when it started).
For example, "I have searched for two months "

The present perfect progressive shows that something started in the past and is continuing at the present time.
For example, "I have been searching" (and I'm still searching)

2. Here, you used "a lot" which means more than one. So the verb and noun must also be plural.
"There is a way" (singular)
"Thee are ways" (plural)

We say "decide on" or "choose" when we talk about options.

FOR me means it benefits you in some way.
TO me means you're the recipient of something:"She gave the book to me."
** Side note: It can also be used to talk about your personal thoughts on something: "To me, family is everything."

3. You're talking about the future in this sentence; use future tense.
"Crucial" means very important. I think the word you want is "hard" or "difficult".
It's not good to keep saying "side job". Use a synonym like "work" or simply say "job"

4. The word "otherwise" means "or else". Use "then" or "by then" to refer to the time when school starts.

Sometimes simple is better. "..to earn the money I need" is easier to understanding than "...to reach how much I would like to earn".

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions. :-)
