Small businesses have boomed since the start of COVID-19, earning some entrepreneurs six figures.
In fact, 33% of the small-business owners who used Gusto said they needed side hustles to keep their companies afloat.
"The surge in side hustles is partly caused by new entrepreneurs who need to rely on additional sources of income to cover the businesses that they just started," Pardue said.
Some of the most recognizable companies, such as Apple, Twitter, and Facebook, started as side projects and later became multibillion-dollar corporations.
Insider spoke with entrepreneurs who earn almost six figures or more about their advice on building side hustles.
