# A weekly planner for building a side hustle

URL: https://gocutline.com/for/side-hustlers/

People with a full-time job use Cutline to give their side business fixed hours (mornings, two evenings, a long Saturday) and to see those hours add up week after week, until the first customers pay through a payment link.

## The side hustle problem
After a full day of work, the side project competes with rest, friends and scrolling, and loses most evenings. The ones that get built are the ones with fixed hours.

## A week that builds
- **Mornings before work,** three days a week.
- **Two evening blocks,** short.
- **One long Saturday session.**
- **A free day,** so it lasts.

The [Side Hustle template](https://gocutline.com/templates/side-hustle-9-to-5-week/) has the details.

## Count it
Nine hours a week is about 470 hours a year: more than eleven full-time work weeks. See [your next 52 weeks](https://gocutline.com/future/).

## Questions

**Is Cutline free for side projects?**
Yes. Planning, XP, streaks, Budget, calendars and the verified CV are free. Payment links have a 5% Cutline fee on Free and 0% on Pro.
