WANT TO MAKE MORE MONEY? CONSIDER THESE POPULAR SIDE GIGS

In today's economy, sometimes working the traditional 9-to-5 isn't enough to
make ends meet, so it's only natural for employees to try and find supplementary
income — they just need to know where to look. 

Forty-five percent of working Americans currently have a side hustle, according
to employee recruitment site Zippia, 30% of which said they needed the extra
money to cover basic costs. To help employees struggling to make ends meet, The
Small Business Blog, a digital resource for small business owners, recently
ranked some of the most popular gigs employees are turning to. 



"We know that more people are working side gigs than ever before," says Brian
Westfall, principal analyst at software insight platform Capterra. "Especially
for younger workers, side gigs have become commonplace. As for why, we can look
at factors such as higher cost of living, inflation and student loan debt."

prioritize flexibility. Here's what they can do

In order to create its ranking, The Small Business Blog studied several websites
to create a list of popular side hustles and cross referenced the findings with
the most and least Google searched gig jobs. 



Dropshipping, which is when a third party resells products for other retailers,
topped the blog's list with over 50,000 monthly searches, followed by more
traditional gig jobs like Uber driving, freelancing and dog walking. And while
working these part-time jobs requires employees to manage their time well,
companies aren't necessarily opposed to employees' finding new streams of
income. In fact, 54% of businesses take a positive stance on side gigs,
according to a survey from Capterra. 

"Side gigs allow workers to go out there and pursue passions and develop skill
sets that they can then bring back to their primary job feeling refreshed,"
Westfall says. "Most gig jobs not only have low barriers to entry and provide
some passive income on the side, employees can also do them at all hours of the
day without causing conflict at their primary job."
