Whether it’s to develop a new skill, pay the bills, or fulfill a passion outside of their day job, more people than ever before are working a side gig—one-third of all American workers with full-time jobs, to be exact.

So, why not become a member of the growing gig economy? While you may be wondering “where will I find the time?”, more than two-thirds of people with side hustles say they’re actually happy to have the extra work and income.

If you’re ready to dive in, we’ve got some tips for you to land on the right type of side hustle for your skills and lifestyle. But before you decide on what type of side gig works for you, consider creating a personal website with Squarespace—somewhere where you can house your passion project whether it’s an online store or a photography portfolio.
