According to a recent survey from NetCredit, several U.S. side hustles that companies hire for on major freelance platforms are paying over $100 per day. Some of the top jobs in the freelancing category are Marketing strategy, app development, presentation designing, website designing, Songwriting, Brand style designing, Packaging and label designing, and UX designing. 

To get your hand on these top-paying side hustles, you need to keep an eye on the top freelance work platforms, or "talent platforms" where gig workers and side hustlers can look for job postings. Some of these platforms include Fiverr, Toptal, and Upwork. While there is a lot of work available online, one thing that remains common is that every job nowadays demands digital skills in some capacity. According to reports, people are working on their digital skills by taking online courses. As per Motley Fool, 38% of the U.S. workforce, or one in every three workers did some kind of freelance work in 2023.
