It's a term that business influencers use to describe a side gig separate from your "real job."
Apparently we live in a society where everyone must have 2 jobs (or more) at all times.
Being a social media influencer is a common "side hustle".

My side hustles are the Field Agent app and Amazon Mechanical Turk. The extra $3000ish per year so far helps out a lot. Use 9wgcy6b in Field Agent as who invited you if youre feeling generous.

Its mostly going to stores and discreetly taking pics and answering a few questions for a few to several dollars each. Amazon MT is mostly surveys and data entry.

My side hustle is owning a business that I run from my home making $.30 sents a month from because I'm an ENTREPRENEUR. I wear suits my parents bought for me to look like I'm successful and all my social media bios say I'm an independent business owner and CEO of my business.

-pretty much all my high school classmates who work at dead end jobs trying to look better.

But now it mostly just means "2nd job" (or 3rd job, or 4th....isn't the gig economy just swell?)

It's an attempt to make something awful or at best dull and make it cool. But anyone who says it just makes themselves sound like a tool.

Dude, I make over $100,000 a year. I don't fucking need "side gigs". Even people at work who make more than me, are constantly trying to turn a profit on the stock market. It's so fucking weird. I have more money than I'd ever need, and there are people who just want more.

I was also going to try to do something for Amazon. Especially since they needed to hire a bunch of veterans at one point. But I couldn't find the online job fair...

It's a useful term, although I can't say that I've ever liked how it sounds. It conjures images of youths selling stolen electronics, etc, in parking lots.

A side hustle shouldn't be confused with a second job and the term goes far beyond "business influencers." You can have a second job where it's not a side hustle, it's just called a second job. Side hustles tend to be more entrepreneurial in nature and capable of scaling.

And, for the most part, I'm not sure that you can really count "social media influencer" as a side hustle since most of them don't actually make money or, in many cases, even get comped product. If you're doing something in your spare time and not making money for it, it's not a "side hustle," it's something called a "hobby." Back when I blogged in my spare time, I got more comped product than a lot of "social media influencers" (highest in a single month was maybe $2k in comped product), but I never thought of it as a job or side hustle, that was just a hobby even when I was making money from it. As such, it's not something I even have on my resume.

1) It's spelled "cents"
2) If you already have "$.30," saying "cents" is redundant anyway

So what you're saying is because you don't want to make extra money, the idea of a side hustle is illegitimate for everybody else? >_>

And having a side source of income is a always a nice additional safety net if you ever lose your $100k/year job, especially since unemployment pays out next to nothing.

I know many people that have side hoes.

Does that count?

And why are they always side hoes?

Is the male equivalent a "fuck boy"?

What do women call their side men???

Good for you, if true. I was speaking to everyone here, not just you. Not all of us are fortunate enough to make 100K a year. I make in the 50-60K range at my main job, depending on how much travel pay I get. My wife is out of work, and we have a daughter in daycare. Having a couple of side hustles that you can work anytime and as much or as little as you want is great for paying for a few bills or having extra for when needed. 100K doesnt go as far as it used to, unless youre all alone, a major penny pincher, or maybe if you live in a real rural place.
