53: How to Earn Your First $1000 as a Freelancer

In this edition of The Side Hustle Show, I’m joined by Cameron Rambert all the way from Melbourne Australia! He’s a freelance marketing strategist and the founder of DigitalMined.com, a growing resource for struggling freelancers.

We talk about how aspiring side hustlers can get started earning their first dollars outside of their day job as freelancers — and I agree — freelancing is one of the fastest ways to make more money.

The Cold Shower Challenge

For the last 2 months, I’ve only taken cold showers.

Why?

Because Nick Reese challenged me to do it when we recorded last week’s podcast session back in March, and now I’m afraid if I break the streak I won’t want to start again.

Bryn and my friends think I’m crazy. They’re probably right.

But call it a coincidence — things have been going pretty well since I turned on that cold water!

52: How to Use Freelancing to Find Business Ideas (and Cold Showers to Find Yourself)

Nick Reese is an accomplished entrepreneur and sought-after business coach. We set out to record an episode on the mindset necessary to succeed as an entrepreneur, and I think we reached that goal, but along the way, Nick shared a fascinating way to build a lucrative side hustle by starting out freelancing.

And on top of that, he shares why he started taking cold showers 2 years ago, and why he’s actually got me hooked on the cold shower thing in the couple of months since we recorded the episode.

51: One Listener’s Year of Hustle: Apps, YouTube, Kindle, Udemy, Fiverr, and More

I’m excited to welcome Alex Genadinik back to The Side Hustle Show as the first-ever repeat guest. Alex reached out and told me how he’d applied many of the strategies and tactics discussed on the show over the past year, and I thought it would be fun to highlight some of those along with his progress.

Alex’s “year of hustle” has created at least 4 new income streams, including a couple more “passive” channels.

This episode illustrates the power of starting today, so you can look back a year from now and see how far you’ve come.

How I Earn an Extra $500 per Month With Amazon’s FBA Program

It is safe to say a number of people want to start an online-side hustle business. However, I believe many of us are paralyzed with preconceived notions that there is too much too learn to accomplish this quickly.

Personally, I used to believe to achieve success online you needed to know how to code, develop beautiful web sites, and be a social media expert!

Today I want to push those self-limiting thoughts out of your mind and explain how you can side-hustle online without knowing all of that technical stuff!

50: What I’ve Learned and Applied from 49 Awesome Entrepreneurs

The best thing about starting a podcast is the excuse to talk to awesome and inspiring people on a weekly basis.

I’ve learned so much from The Side Hustle Show guests over the past year, I thought it would be an appropriate time to recap some of their shared wisdom, how I’ve applied it to my own projects, and how you can apply it to yours.

This is episode 50 — the big 5-0, and it’s also my first-ever attempt at a solo show.

Blogging vs. Podcasting: A 1-Year Case Study

Heyo! Side Hustle Nation is a year old, and you know what that means?

Time to share the results of my first “serious” attempt at building something more than just a personal blog.

And, for the sake of comparison, I’ll share the results alongside those of The Side Hustle Show podcast to see which has been the more effective way of reaching new people and spreading the side hustle goodness.

How I Got on the Homepage of Fiverr and Earned $920 in 10 Days

My latest side hustle experiment landed me on the homepage of one of the world’s 200-most popular sites.

This story has its origins last summer when I talked with AnarchoFighter, the Top-Rated Fiverr seller who earned enough cash on the platform to buy a house.

I began tentatively, selling pdf copies of my books, but then got a little more adventurous. This post explores why I think I was featured on the homepage, how you can set yourself up for similar exposure, and how to make the most of it when it happens.

46: Blogging in Your Spare Time: From $0 to $17,000 a month

In episode 46 of The Side Hustle show, we get to hear the incredible story of Lindsay and Bjork Ostrom, who built PinchofYum.com up to a massive audience all while working a day job. In fact, they spent a full year volunteering in the Philippines but still managed to keep the site growing and thriving!

In January, the site generated more than a million pageviews and earned over $17,000! In this interview we dive into how they got started, how the readership grew, and how they monetize the site.

Hacking SlideShare: The Surprising Site That Sends More Referral Traffic Than Facebook or Twitter

Digging through my analytics last week, I stumbled on a surprising find:

SlideShare had driven more referral traffic to SideHustleNation so far this year than Twitter or Facebook.

I was surprised because

It’s a tiny fraction of the size of those other platforms.
I only have 6 presentations there (2 of which were duds).
I have a grand total of 77 SlideShare followers.
So how do they send so much traffic? Let’s take a look.

Usually Hustling, Occasionally Social
