7 Side Hustles for Performers That Won’t Kill Your Creativity

Let’s be honest—being a performer can be magical, but it’s also unpredictable. One week you’re rehearsing or on set, and the next you’re refreshing your inbox hoping for an audition callback. Financial stability? Sometimes it feels like a distant dream.

That’s why I started Backstage Side Hustles—to help artists like you find ways to earn extra income that don’t get in the way of your creative work.

1. Voiceover Work (From Home!)

Got a decent mic and a quiet space? You don’t need a fancy studio to start doing voiceover work. Sites like Voices.com and Fiverr are full of listings for commercials, e-learning, animation, and more.

2. Social Media Management for Small Creators

You already know how to shoot, caption, and post content—why not get paid for it?

3. Teach What You Know

You don’t need to be a celebrity to teach someone how to dance, sing, or act.

4. Freelance with Your Hidden Skills

Writing. Editing. Web design. Admin help. You’ve got more skills than you think.

5. Sell Digital Products

Canva templates. Audition log trackers. Printable warmups. If you’ve needed it, someone else probably does too.

6. Affiliate Blogging or YouTube

Share your favorite gear, tools, and services—and earn while doing it

7. Merch for Performers, by Performersr

Create designs that speak directly to our world and let a print-on-demand service handle the rest.

Final Thoughts
Making money as a performer doesn’t mean giving up your dream. The right side hustle can give you breathing room to keep chasing it.

I’ll be diving deeper into each of these ideas soon, so stick around, or bookmark this site if you’re not into email lists yet.
