"Nearly one in four people currently have a side hustle, with 35 percent of those starting theirs in the last six months. And there are plenty of options to choose from. There are side hustle businesses you can do from home, as well as others for introverts or night owls. But it turns out that some side hustles are more popular than others, depending on where you live."
"A study from online marketplace CGTrader found not only statewide clusters of popular side hustles, but also was able to determine the most popular hustles around the country (or at least the ones that get searched the most). That's a bit of a dual-edged sword for people considering those fields. Knowing they're a popular choice implies there's likely money to be made doing that job. But it also indicates the competition could be more fierce."
"The study examined the most popular side hustles as judged by monthly search volume in that state and 30 major cities, picking from a list of 70 keywords related to 23 common side hustles. According to the study, podcasting was the most popular side hustle in 12 states, including Alabama, Connecticut, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Tennessee."
"Nipping at the podcasting world's heels was becoming a YouTube content creator, which topped 10 states: Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, Oregon, Washington, and Wisconsin. And two side hustles tied for third in the study, with eight states apiece. Affiliate marketing was tops in Montana, Wyoming, North and South Dakota, Vermont, Maine, Delaware, and Alaska. Rideshare drivers, meanwhile, topped the lists in Nevada, Arizona, Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Maryland, and Florida."
Nearly one in four people have a side hustle, and 35% started within the last six months. Side hustles range from home-based options to roles suited for introverts or night owls. A CGTrader study used monthly search volume across states and 30 major cities, selecting from 70 keywords tied to 23 common side hustles. Podcasting ranked as the most popular side hustle in 12 states. YouTube content creation led in 10 states. Affiliate marketing and rideshare driving each topped multiple states, with affiliate marketing leading in eight states and rideshare driving leading in nine. Popularity suggests potential earnings but also implies stronger competition.
