Side Hustle Stats - January 2011

The phrase "side hustle" was first used by my coworker, Moshen Chan, to describe the personal projects us folks at Mochi Media do in our free time.

January has come and gone and there are some stats to take a look at. As always, sponsorships are always the quickest way to make a "good" amount of money. I took a good amount of freelance illustration gigs this month too, so I guess that's pretty helpful too, though definitely less "passive" than letting ads run.

Numbers in the parenthesis indicate change compared to the prior month.
