The term “side hustle” has been gaining popularity for a while now and refers to a project you pursue in addition to your 9-to-5 job. A side hustle may or may not bring in income.

Side hustlers we admire

Wait—is having a side hustle the same thing as freelancing?

We’re going to be honest here: freelancers get a lot of attention. There are a lot of tools and solutions out there to help them succeed. We think side hustlers need a little love, too!

A side hustler is someone who has at least two projects that they are pursuing. One of them being a traditional 9-to-5 job and the other is their “hustle,” which they do in their off hours.

A freelancer typically works for themselves. They are promoting and selling their skillset as their primary source of income. Sometimes people actually freelance as their side hustle. There’s a lot of overlap.
