4 Platforms For Side Hustles (Part 1)


Stacks of US dollar bills with text overlay: "10 Side Hustle Platforms (Part 1)." Background suggests financial success.

The gig economy is booming! But I've learned not to spread myself too thin. Narrowing to a niche tends to feel like self-sabotage, but it worked for me. However, I had to go through much trial and error, but I've discovered many websites that allow those like me to thrive! Of course, everyone must do their own research to ensure the right decisions for themselves that align with their safety and comfort level. My goal was not to use every website available but to find the website that fit what worked for me. Here are some of my top factors I kept in mind:


What Phase In Your Hustle Are You?

Some websites are created for beginners, and others are built for those who have a following already established.


Is this website popular with my target consumer?

Just because a website allows your ideas to utilize its platform doesn't mean the platform has the traffic you're looking for.


How much does it cost to use the platform?

Many platforms are similar, but it's essential to get your money's worth.


Okay, here are 4 platforms:

Red handwritten text "Shef" on a light peach background. Minimalist design with no additional elements or actions.

1.

Shef

Sell your homemade meals through Shef. This platform allows you to list meals that you have cooked remotely where people can order and have delivered to them using the various food delivery services that exist. Meaning you wouldn't have to deliver the meals yourself, the platform handles that for you.




White text "rev" on a black background. Modern and minimal design.

2.

Rev

If you're good at typing, this website may be right up your alley. Rev accepts applications from transcribers and captioners. To begin receiving assignments, your application must be accepted first. Then you're able to see the assignments available, and you can select which assignment you want to complete. Submit your work and it will be graded by the Rev team and you will be paid according to the grade you receive.




Black text "Medium" on an off-white background. Simple and modern font, conveying a minimalistic and clean design.

3.

Medium

Do you like to write? Do people like to read what you write? This platform allows your write articles on the topics of your choice, and you get paid when people read your articles. Work at your own pace, attract readers, and start making money.
