Side Hustle Stack Sponsor 🤝
Rally empowers creators to launch their own personalized currency - Creator Coins - for use within their community. These digital cryptocurrencies represent a creator’s brand and also serve as a new form of creator support. Fans can donate Creator Coins to creators or to other fans, gain access to rewards like private chats and other VIP privileges, or receive coins from creators for being important contributors to the community. Several creators leveraged their coin to earn more than $2,000 in income in the first week of January alone.
If you’re completely new to cryptocurrencies, don’t worry – you’re not alone! Rally has a great FAQ page with a video explaining exactly how Creator Coins work.

💃 “Working 5 to 9, you’ve got passion and a vision…”
Dolly Parton’s new Superbowl ad is here and we’re loving it. The video tells the story of a woman who is fed up with her 9-to-5 office job and uses her evenings to run an online dance fitness class 👇
The ad has received both praises for its recognition of the transforming modern work landscape, as well as criticism for its glorification of hustle culture. We push back on the idea that people should be expected to turn to side hustles as a way of making ends meet — no one should have to work "9 to 5" AND "5 to 9." But what we love about the video is the way it celebrates the current inflection point in the world of work.
In an alternate version of the ad, we imagine our main character would eventually quit her day job and dive fully into her new life as a dance-focused creator. It would be a challenging process, undoubtedly, but she'd be filling her days doing what she loved, earning more, and feeling better fulfilled.
That's the future we want to enable with Side Hustle Stack.
Sure, many of our platforms can help you discover ways of earning when things are tight, but in the longterm, we hope the site can act as a springboard for helping inspire people to make that leap.
