Royalties from book sales is one of the most passive of all my income streams.
After you create a book, with print or digital distribution handled by Amazon, you can collect royalties for years.
And while I enjoy the writing process and have published several titles myself, I have yet to venture into the world of children’s books.
Earning up to $2,000 for 45 minutes doing something you love — who wouldn’t want to do that?
That’s exactly what Brian McGovern of McMagical.com does. Brian is a party entertainer — he’s been practicing magic and performing since he was in high school.
The success of the side hustle allowed him to walk away from a well-paying, but stressful, career on Wall Street.
After a successful crowdfunding campaign, the team behind the SideHustle game is looking for ways to raise awareness and stand out on the crowded Amazon marketplace.
In this coaching episode, you’ll meet co-founders Darby Rollins and Tomer Soran, who (along with a 3rd co-founder, Tim Palladino) are looking for some ways to expand on the initial traction and grow a brand in the “productive play” space.
With a full-time job, a baby at home, and a thriving side hustle, Troy Parker was becoming a master juggler.
He was excited about the growth of his Etsy shop, Goober Prints, but was beginning to reach the ceiling of his own capacity.
Troy specializes in fun, quirky, customizable direct-to-garment printing. Goober Prints had a breakout year in 2020, jumping to $80,000 in total sales — up from about $10,000 in 2019.
Could it become his full-time focus? Is it possible to scale sales without sacrificing even more sleep?

To help me talk through Raffaele’s business is a long-time friend and online business mentor of mine, Matt Giovanisci.

To be fair, Jade’s financial success didn’t happen overnight. She had months of earning less than $100 from her online private tutoring.
Last year, Brad Rice booked $225,000 worth of Salesforce consulting work. That’s impressive on its own, but what’s crazier is he only worked an average of 18 hours a week.
Brad took his existing skills and experience with a popular software product, and pivoted to become a remote freelance consultant.
This is the “SWAS” strategy: Software with a Service.
Cash-flowing $10k a month from a portfolio of mobile homes.
Sounds like a great side hustle, doesn’t it?
