Daily business news with a sharp, irreverent tone — startup stories, market shifts, and unconventional trends.
In plain terms: This free media site provides daily news, podcasts, and videos covering business trends, startups, and technology. You can follow industry shifts and browse guides to find new side hustle and business ideas.
Why I recommend it: Fun read that quietly teaches you how small businesses make money.
A free form from The Hustle newsletter where founders can pitch their business for a chance to be featured to its roughly 1.5 million readers. You answer questions about your pitch, the problem you solve, your origin story and your advice for other founders. Side hustles and full-time businesses are both welcome.
Why I recommend it: Free to apply, but a feature isn't guaranteed and you only find out by reading the newsletter. The Hustle is owned by HubSpot, and the form lets HubSpot email you about its products (you can unsubscribe). Worth ten minutes if you have a clear origin story.
