Earnings and Independence Disclaimer

Last updated: 12 October 2026

Earnings are not guaranteed

Any figures on this site are either:

• published by a platform (we name the source and the date we checked), or
• hypothetical illustrations — for example, our calculator simply multiplies the numbers you enter.

Neither is a prediction of what you will earn. Actual earnings depend on the platform, the project, your location, your skills and performance, the hours available and how much work exists at the time. Many applicants are not accepted, and accepted contributors may receive little or no work. We do not publish income claims about our visitors, and any personal story we publish will be supported by verifiable context.

Work and acceptance are not guaranteed

Platforms decide who they accept and whether projects are available. Project availability can change at any time. Nothing on this site — the questionnaire, practice labs, premium products or tutoring — guarantees acceptance, assessment results or work.

We are independent

SoftwareSideHustles.com is not affiliated with, endorsed by or acting for any AI training platform. We describe platforms using their public information. We do not have access to, and never provide, confidential assessment content.

Paid training is optional

Premium practice and tutoring are optional education. They are not required, endorsed or recognised by any platform, and you can apply to every platform for free without them.

Referral links

Some links are referral links and we may be compensated. See the Affiliate Disclosure.

Not professional advice

Nothing here is legal, tax or financial advice. Independent contractor work can have tax and work-authorisation implications in your country; check with a qualified adviser.
