Today we’re giving away a bunch of business ideas, and to help me do it is Steve Chou.
Steve is a serial entrepreneur who runs a 7-figure e-commerce business at BumbleBeeLinens.com, a 7-figure blog and podcast at MyWifeQuitHerJob.com, and also a conference in the e-commerce space called Sellers Summit.
It’s been 7-8 years since Steve was last on the podcast back on episode 128, so it was long overdue to get him back on.
In this week’s episode, we’re catching up with the 6-figure houseplant blogger, Raffaele Di Lallo of OhioTropics.com.
You might remember Raffaele from a blog coaching episode we did last year with the help of Matt Giovanisci from Money Lab.
At that time, Raffaele was generating over 300,000 pageviews per month, which translated into around $10k in income, mostly from display ads and a little slice of affiliate commissions as well.
Whatever your side hustle or business is, your marketing efforts are going to be crucial to your success.
To find out what’s working today across a wide range of industries, I’ve crowdsourced some wisdom from Side Hustle Show listeners.
I asked listeners to share a marketing tactic that’s working well for them this year, and I got back a ton of great responses.
Today I’ve got an awesome story for you — on the one hand, it’s about matching your interests and skills with a hungry market, but maybe more importantly it’s about documenting your work.
When you do those two things, like Craig Odem has, you start to see some fun results.
I found Craig through the Side Hustle Nation Facebook group; he’s a pastor in Tennessee but as a side hustle he sells plants out of his backyard.
This week’s episode is about self-publishing, which we’ve covered before. But this week’s guests have turned the success of their book into a full-time business that’s still growing in momentum.
In late 2020, Justin and Alexis Black self-published their first book Redefining Normal: How Two Foster Kids Beat The Odds and Discovered Healing, Happiness and Love.
Redefining Normal currently has over 200 reviews on Amazon and has sold more than 9,000 copies in the two years since it was published.
Recession-proof businesses are those positioned to survive and thrive during an economic slowdown, like the one we’re experiencing now.
It might seem like a recession is a kiss-of-death for business owners, but that’s not always the case.
Megan Champion is a mom of 3, a 15-year elementary education teacher, and in the past year, she’s started a side hustle that has brought in $20,000.
Megan’s side hustle is in the parenting niche and has 3 main parts:
An Instagram account to drive awareness
A podcast called On The Hard Days to drive connection
And a paid membership to drive community — and recurring revenue.
As side hustles become more popular — and perhaps necessary — let’s take a look at some of the common options … and what you might consider doing instead.
In honor of Amazon’s annual Prime Day sale, I wanted to throw a little sale of my own.
To start, I’ve discounted all my side hustle-related Kindle books to $0.99 or better.
We’re halfway through the year, and 2022 is flying by!
In these quarterly Progress Reports, I break down how the business grew (or shrunk), what I worked on, and other happenings from the last three months.
