GenX was side-hustling before it had a name. From mowing lawns to flipping mixtapes, we’ve always found ways to make extra cash or fuel our passions. Fast forward to now, and the hustle has gone digital — freelance gigs, consulting, podcasts, Etsy shops, coaching, you name it.
But here’s the catch: our projects are scattered everywhere. Instagram here, Shopify there, a random blog link buried in your Twitter bio. People don’t follow a maze. They click once, or they move on. That’s where link-in-bio tools come in.
Why Side Hustles Need a Central Hub
Imagine running a garage sale with items spread across 10 different driveways. That’s what an unorganized online presence feels like. A central hub (like a GenXLink page) puts all your side hustles in one clean, easy-to-click place.
One link for socials, store, and newsletter.
Quick edits when your hustle shifts.
Analytics to see what actually works.
Tips for Making Your Hustle Shine
Lead with Your Moneymaker. Put your shop, booking page, or offer at the top.
Highlight Passions Too. Don’t hide the fun stuff — your bandcamp link, your podcast, your blog. It rounds out your story.
Rotate by Season. Got a holiday product drop? Make it the star.
Use Calls-to-Action. Instead of “Blog,” write “Read My Latest Story.” Instead of “Shop,” write “Grab My New Collection.”
The GenX Advantage
We’re not trying to be influencers — we’re builders. GenX hustlers mix real-world skills with digital platforms. We’ve been underestimated before, but side hustles are where we thrive. The right bio-link makes sure our efforts aren’t wasted.
Quick Action Step
Take five minutes today:
Write down your three hustles/passions.
Drop them into your GenXLink page.
Share that one link everywhere you show up online.
That’s your side hustle revival — simple, clean, effective.
Every click counts. A strong link-in-bio isn’t just a tool, it’s leverage. For GenX, it’s proof we can take our experience, our grit, and our passions, and make them shine in the digital age.
So go ahead — centralize your hustle, simplify your link, and let the world know what you’re building.
