Hustle
Founder and lead tester
Maren Olsen
Maren started Hustlesheet in 2021 as a personal spreadsheet for tracking which side-hustle apps actually paid, after years of freelancing since 2018 made her suspicious of round numbers. She still logs every app and gig with a stopwatch before she writes about it, and she publishes her own results instead of promising a reader what they will earn.
