What is a side hustle?
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 are mainly looking to explore an interest, hone their skills, and share their work while growing an audience.

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.
