Side Hustle Blogs

Side Hustle Definition

A side hustle is work you do to make extra money in addition to your primary source of income.

Side hustles have become quite common in recent years, fueled by growing opportunities to make money online and via mobile apps like ride-hailing services. In fact, according to Side Hustle Nation, 45% or roughly 70 million working Americans report having a side hustle.

Tips from Side Hustle Blog Owners

We asked owners of several top side hustle blogs to share in their own words the benefits of pursuing a side hustle. Here are a few of our favorites:

Side Hustle Nation

“Many people understandably turn to side hustling to make extra money, but that’s just one of several benefits. Side hustles also build skills, expand networks, and can create a sense of personal empowerment that you’re taking proactive steps to improve your financial position.”

– Nick Loper

Don’t Work Another Day

“Pursuing a side hustle is a great way to build wealth while taking advantage of the security that comes with a full-time job. This increase in income can then be used to pay off debt or investing in your future, providing a path towards financial freedom.”

– Forrest McCall

The Savvy Solopreneur Blog

“Starting a side hustle is about more than adding extra dollars to your bank account each month. It’s about using your free time to build a business you love, that uses your signature strengths, and serves an audience you really want to help. Doesn’t that sound like a better use of your free time than some of the things you currently do with it?”

– Karen Banes

Mastering the Side Jam

“The most enticing aspect of pursuing a side hustle is you don’t need to be a certain “type” of person in order to be successful. There are so many options out there, and YOU dictate how involved you get in the whole process. Is it a few hours a day? A week? A month? In person, or online? Dealing directly with people … or not so much? These factors set the stage for your side hustle success. And if you want to switch things up a bit, you can pivot in any direction that works for you.”

– Robin Rose

My Money Chronicles

“To be honest, having a side hustle changed my life. Having one has allowed me to save money and pay off debt. Without it, I’d probably still be struggling.”

– Jason Butler

Early Morning Money

“Side hustles aren’t just about extra income. They’re about survival. It’s tough to save money or pay down debt when you’re living paycheck to paycheck. And if you lose your job? You could lose everything. A side hustle can pay bills and put food on the table until you’re back up on your feet.”

– Amy Beardsley
