SideHusl.com, launched in 2018, is an independent review site of money-making opportunities in the gig economy. Founded and edited by veteran consumer reporter, Kathy Kristof, the site researches, reviews and rates more than 300 online platforms that provide the ability to work, rent or sell assets.

SideHusl offers tips to freelancers on important topics, such as insurance, retirement plans and cash flow, and also supports a weekly blog. However, the heart of the site is reviews of online platforms, such as Uber, Airbnb, and Craig's List. Each review breaks down the basics of working with these platforms into seven segments:


 * What the platform does


 * How much it pays


 * Where it's available


 * Commissions & fees charged to the freelancer


 * Other requirements to use the platform


 * A review written by SideHusl editors


 * Reviews from others

The idea is to have a standardized method of evaluating the benefits and risks of working with any given online platform.

The site has been cited in numerous publications since it's launch, including in Kiplinger's Personal Finance Magazine, Inc., CBS News, Forbes, NextAvenue, USA Today and NerdWallet.
