The term “Side Hustle” has long been used in the African-American community–and it is NOT a part-time job. The original meaning referred to something that was done on the side that is entrepreneurial in nature.

Anyone can get a side gig (a part-time job), but it takes someone with the entrepreneurial spirit (and balls) to be able to “get their hustle on”, as we like to say in the African-American community. It requires you to be a marketer, a risk taker and a believer in self to hustle effectively–and, unfortunately, having another job (albeit on the side) just doesn’t fit the bill of the true and intended meaning of the side hustle.

I would love for the term side hustle to be used authentically (but I digress)

I’ve been writing about Side Hustles for years and have many ideas on my blog, check it out if you’re interested.

Anyone who is in debt or just wants some extra spending cash should have a side job. It is best if it can be something flexible that you can put in more hours when it is convenient or you need more money, or scale back when you need a little bit of a break.
I agree with Frugal Dad…this side money should have a specific purpose, otherwise it will just get lumped in to the rest of your income and you will have the tendency to spend more. I use my side money to pay off principle on a car loan. Anything I earn from my part-time job goes directly towards the loan on top of the monthly payments I already pay from my full-time job. The car will be paid for in no time!

Everyone would be well served to diversify their incomes. Additionally, if your main gig doesn’t fulfill you, a side gig may fill the void . . .

Your terminology makes it sound like something back-alley.

I prefer moonlighting or something like that but regardless, it’s a cool topic to write about. Good job.

I’d highly suggest people look for side hustles (love that term) that involve being able to earn money on the internet with zero inventory requirements. My side hustles are all internet-based on while I’m no John Chow I am starting to bring a very nice little amount in every month such that after expenses I can actually take a draw that is meaningful to my family finances. I can’t imagine ever retiring – at some point my side hustle becomes my love. When you can do it anywhere, anytime then who needs to retire?
