About Minted Empire

Minted Empire publishes guides and data on side hustles, self-employment and ways to earn money online.

What we publish

• Data pages built from official US sources, such as the Census Bureau's count of businesses with no employees and IRS tax-return statistics. Our self-employed earnings pages show what businesses in each trade report, by state and by revenue bracket.
• Guides to online jobs and income ideas, checked against the employers, platforms and official sources they describe.

How we work

• Every figure comes from a named source, linked on the page.
• Each data page says what the numbers can and cannot tell you. Revenue is not income, and an industry code is not a job title, so we say so where it matters.
• We do not publish income claims we cannot source, and we do not invent examples.
• Guides show the date they were last checked. Data pages are refreshed when the source publishes new figures.
