Want to scale back on your day job?
Want to travel more, and spend more time with your family?
That’s exactly what Stacy Gallego has been able to do thanks to her part-time flipping business.
This episode is all about making use of the Piggyback Principle — why it’s easier to fill demand than to create it from scratch.
Just like how kids would rather get a piggyback ride than walk because it’s easier.
The same is true in business — this strategy allows you to ride the wave of success software products are experiencing to catch that rising tide and get better, faster results with less work.
To help illustrate this, I brought on Kristi DaSilva from DaSilvaLife.com.
DaSilva Life helps small businesses build success by setting up and integrating two popular software tools, HoneyBook and ClickUp, into their workflow and operations.
This earns her thousands of dollars per project along the way.
That’s exactly what Garr Russell from firesidervrental.com did with RVs (recreational vehicles), and he’s turned it into a thriving business.
Could you do the same thing? Could you apply this idea to a different niche?
I think there are some valuable lessons here for aspiring side hustlers in any niche.
Is your income active or passive?
If you’re wondering what’s the difference and which is better, you’re in the right place.
Roman Shmundyak didn’t intend to start a freight dispatching business. But when other trucking companies kept asking for his help, he couldn’t keep ignoring the idea.
Plus, dispatching was lower risk than owning a fleet of trucks himself — and gave him the flexibility to work remotely.
In episode 622 of The Side Hustle Show, Roman shares how to:
market a dispatch business and get your first customers
match freight with truckers that can carry it
grow your dispatch business and free up your time
A good dispatcher can earn $1,000 a month per client, and can handle several clients at once.
Today, Roman still oversees the dispatch business at Alfa X Logistics, and also helps new dispatchers learn the business at LearnDispatch.com.
Remotasks is a new side hustle platform, where you can get paid to complete short tasks online.
“Take an exam, do a task, get paid!” the site promises.
In this post, I’ll break down each of those steps and share my experience in trying to make money on Remotasks.
Last year, I spoke with Tony Lysandrides on episode 565 where we talked about YouTube automation. Back then, the process was much more manual.
The typical workflow was something like this: coming up with viral video ideas, hiring scriptwriters, voice artists, and video editors to create content.
The aim was to hit the viral YouTube lottery by planting a bunch of digital assets and hoping enough would hit big to turn a profit on ad income.
But what a difference a year makes.
Now, we’ve got AI tools to assist in just about every step of that production process, and Tony’s been on the front lines of these changes.
So I wanted to have him back on to find out, first of all, is that a good thing for content creators, YouTubers, and side hustlers? And how much can you make in this new AI-powered YouTube landscape?
According to some studies, the average millionaire has 7 streams of income. So it shouldn’t surprise you that some celebrities are also prolific entrepreneurs, building side hustles on top of already successful careers.
Some of these celebrity side hustles are passion projects, some are investments, and some have even been so successful that they’ve eclipsed the initial career that made them a celebrity in the first place.
I love a business where you can get paid over and over again for work you do once.
That’s exactly what Emily McDermott from PrettyArrow.com has done by selling spreadsheets online.
