A Third of Americans Have a Side Hustle Now
A Third of Americans Have a Side Hustle Now
A new poll found almost a third of Americans (31%) now have some sort of SIDE HUSTLE going. The most common one is to sell or re-sell stuff online.
The top products we sell are handmade or custom goods . . . vintage or second-hand stuff . . . and print-on-demand products, like fun t-shirts. (The most popular sites we sell on are Amazon, eBay, and Walmart.com.)
The #1 reason people said they have a side hustle was to help make ends meet. 73% said it’s to help pay the bills. 14% said money isn’t the main goal, it’s a “passion project.”
Just over half started their current side hustle within the past year. Two-thirds said they spend less than 10 hours a week on it.
Last stat: If Americans pooled all their side hustle money together, they’d earn $83 BILLION a month, or just under $1 TRILLION a year. But individually, most side hustles bring in $500 a month or less.
