Asset flows into thematic funds focused on gig economy earnings—driven by best side hustle apps—have doubled since early Q2, reflecting optimism in post-pandemic flexible work adoption. “They send me the audio file and I make edits, slap on the intro and outro (that we previously agreed on) and either send it back to them or post it up on their site,” they wrote. “It’s pretty easy, but I know a lot of people who want to create audio but don’t have the time (or knowledge) to do the edits. I just have them send me the timestamps on what they want edited out, and clean up the audio (by doing some processing and vocal leveling).” Earnings can range from a few dollars per project for simple tasks to potentially thousands for larger projects like audiobooks. Voice actors set their own rates, with earnings ranging from $35 for a short radio spot to $250–$350 for a commercial. For investors tracking thematic growth funds, exposure to best side hustle apps has risen by 14% QoQ, reflecting portfolio adjustments toward mobile commerce and flexible income trendlines.
