Side Hustle Stack: All The Side Hustles and Tools In One List

With all of the popularity of the gig economy and side hustles the opportunities are growing fast. Below is a list of all the side hustles on side hustle stack, a handy site that curates all of the side hustles out there. They also include a lot of tools for existing small businesses and a few companies that have gone out of business (I’ve noted these).

Adult Content Creator

• Onlyfans: The leading site to monetize your followers. It was founded in 2016, has over 150 million registered users and 1.5 million content creators. It has paid out over $3 billion to creators. But it is more expensive than it’s lesser popular competitors, Onlyfans takes a 20% cut of transactions.

• Tipsnaps: Similar to Onlyfans where you can sell your content or create a subscription. Up to 90% of the revenue goes back to the creator.

• iFans: Similar to Onlyfans. They take a 20% cut as well, but if another creator refers a user to you that creator makes 40% and you only make 40%.

Audio Content Creator

• Jam: Apparently it’s an audio space for chatting and more. Not sure how you make money with this one and it doesn’t seem very developed.

• Plink: This allows you to make smart links for podcasts so it’s more of a service to help you if you run a podcast and want an easy way for users to auto-open an installed podcast app.

• Steady: Platform to charge for member only content. Seems to be focused on podcasts and works similar to substack (which is for written content) where you can set it up and they only charge when you make money. Steady takes a 10% cut of revenue.

• Songfinch: Interesting platform where people can order a customized song starting at $199 USD. It appears Songfinch takes a 50% cut, but a third verse can increase the artist take to around $140 and around 20% or orders receive a tip.

• Matter: A free platform where you can upload music. Matter takes a 10% cut of any transactions such as the sale of beats/merchandise or the purchase of any subscriptions to Artist Clubs. Appears to be now focusing on Web 3.0 and music NFTs.

• Avocado: A site that allows you to sell courses and audiobooks. Site appears to be down at the moment…

• Capiche.fm: A twitch for audio that shut down in June 2021.

• Tingles: An app with ASMR creators. No clear instructions on how to be included.

• Spoon: Focused on audio live streaming. Last press on their site is from 2020.

• Simple Habit: Appears to be an app to help people relieve stress through meditation. No clear instructions on how to be included.

• Knowable: Audio focused knowledge community. Backed by Andreessen Horowitz. Runs on a membership fee for access, no clear details on how much creators make.

Chef

• Robal: Site looks like it shut down.

• Virtual Dining Chicago: Looks to be called Here Here Market now and connects people with emerging culinary creators.

• SuperChef: Looks to be shut down.

• Subport: Allows businesses to offer a subscription. More of a service for a restaurant/coffee shop, not really a side hustle.

• CookUnity: Platform that connects chefs directly with customers. Provides kitchens in NY, LA, AUS, CHI and ATL.

• Foodnome: First legal marketplace for home-based restaurants.

• Shef: Community-based platform that enables cooks to sell homemade food to their neighbors. Over last few years they helped sell over 1 million dishes. Claim that many make $1,000 per week (I assume gross not profit).

Coach

• Skillful: Platform to monetize your content. Focused more on teachers, creators and educators.

• Expat Mentors: Looks like this shut down.

• Macro Mentors: Platform for finance professionals to mentor people. Members create their own pricing.

• Column/: Social network for topic specific content, not sure how this is a side hustle.

• Honeycommb: All-in-one platform for independent social networks.

• Mav Farm: This is one of the worst websites I have seen in a while. Reminds me of the late 90’s flash pages. Apparently you can earn by creating and sharing videos that sell other products.

E-Commerce

These are all tools or platforms which I don’t think is useful copying here.

Gumroad: Is the one you may not be familiar with and is useful for small side hustles. It lets you sell physical or digital products easily.

There’s some interesting specialized options here, but YouTube is also a great place to put your content. There’s a ton of competition, but there’s also a very large audience.
