At the end of nearly every episode of The Side Hustle Show, I ask my guests for their “#1 tip for Side Hustle Nation.”
There’s always a great variety of responses, and I wanted to take some time today to go through some of my favorites from the past 50-ish interviews.
This has become an annual tradition on the show, which is now almost 8.5 years old and recently passed 17 million lifetime downloads.
Where there’s pain, there might also be profit…
That was the case for today’s guest, Pete Mockaitis. Pete was seeing some traction with his podcast, the HowToBeAwesomeAtYourJob Podcast, but was struggling to keep up all the off-air tasks — the show notes, the editing, the social media.
For Pete Mockaitis, that pain turned into AwesomePros.co, a niche drop-servicing company that he co-founded with Brian Kearny and is now doing $10k a month in recurring revenue.
For the last couple years, Pei was my favorite cash back app.
After you installed it and linked your cards, you’d earn automatic extra cash back at 100,000 places where you were already spending money.
And this was on top of the credit card rewards you’re already earning! But then it changed significantly for the worse. Read on to see what sucks now and my top Pei app alternatives.
One challenge that most new businesses face is the awareness problem – nobody knows you exist.
To help erase this problem, I’ve invited Dustin Lien from JumpXmarketing.com back on the show.
Dustin first appeared on episode 251 back in 2017. Back then, he was just ramping up JumpX after shutting down his own physical product business.
Ever thought about turning your expertise in an everyday subject or topic into an online business?
For Delilah Orpi, her expertise was on taking care of her curly hair — and starting as a side hustle, she turned that into an online business earning around $8k a month at HolisticEnchilada.com.
Delilah has some interesting strategies she used to grow her audience, build her email list, diversify her multiple income streams — all of which can be applied to a topic of your choosing.
How do you make money on eBay?
Buy low, sell high, repeat.
The formula is simple, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy!
To help me learn more about selling items for a profit on eBay, I turned to serial side hustler Daniella Flores. With the help of several part-time businesses, she and her wife have been able to pay off $31,000 in debt in the last two years.
How does making an extra few hundred $$ a month with a low rated side hustle that has literally millions of potential repeat customers sound?
Matt Rowell set himself the goal of generating an extra $5k over 5 years to fund some passion projects he’s interested in, and he’s found a niche that fits this bill to set himself on this path.
There are tons of ways to make money online — the root of all of them comes down to helping people.
Two common ways entrepreneurs help a wide audience is by packaging up their knowledge and experience into an online training course or a membership program/community.
But which model makes the most sense for your business?
To find out, it’s time for another Side Hustle Showdown.
We’ve been on a bit of an audience building kick lately in our conversations with Dickie Bush about Twitter, with Tori Dunlap about TikTok.
Today you’ll meet a long-time listener of the show who built her audience on Facebook.
Chantal Lavergne is the founder of FunSensoryPlay.com, which started as a Facebook page in early 2020 — and that’s important because that’s years after the supposed death of organic Facebook page reach.
Tired of toiling away on social media for lackluster results? Tori Dunlap earned her first 200,000 TikTok followers in just a couple weeks, and has added another 1.4 million since then.
All that attention has helped her turn a healthy 6-figure business into a multi-7-figure operation.
Tori is the founder of HerFirst100k.com and host of the Financial Feminist podcast, where she helps women become more financially confident.
She argues that TikTok is the best social media platform on which to grow a targeted audience right now.
