149: How to Start and Market a Subscription Box Service

Recurring revenue models are all the rage these days, and for good reason. You can make a sale once and continue to earn from it as long as you keep your customer happy.

There are quite a few recurring revenue business examples from The Side Hustle Show archives, but today I’m excited to introduce Ross Simmonds, a side hustler turned full-time entrepreneur, and the founder of Hustle & Grind, a coffee subscription box service.

148: 7 Houses at 27: Building a Real Estate Empire on the Side

Elizabeth Colegrove and her husband are budding real estate moguls. So far they’ve acquired 7 houses, and neither of them are 30 years old yet.

Between their 7 properties, they’re earning around $1800 in cash flow every month, and their tenants are paying off $1650 in loan principal.

But real estate investment is not without risks and Elizabeth joked that I just have easily could have called the episode 27 and $1.1 million in debt.

147: Rob’s $30,000 Side Hustle: Flea Market Flipping

This week I’m excited to welcome Rob Stephenson to The Side Hustle Show.

Rob is the “Flea Market Flipper” and he’s got an interesting take on the age-old Buy Low, Sell High business model.

In fact, it earned him $30,000 last year working just 10-15 hours a week. This is on top of his day job as a real estate inspector.

My First Pay What You Want Pricing Experiment: $692.27 in 4 Days

In October, I wrote about how I built a membership site on the cheap. Today I want to share a little more about what was “behind” the membership wall and how I found my initial beta testers. I created a curriculum for a 30-day challenge to help people earn their first side hustle income. I … Read more

145: Amazon Ranking Secrets for Books and Physical Products from SEO Pro Dave Chesson

We’ve covered Kindle publishing in a variety of ways on The Side Hustle Show in the past, and it’s one of my favorite side hustles.

But one area of frustration, at least for me, is that for all the effort put into writing, editing, publishing, and launching the book, it’s still tough to sustain sales for long periods of time.

My guest this week has a way to keep moving units month after month, and it works for both books AND physical products (for all you FBA sellers out there).

144: Side Hustle Q & A

This is my attempt at a Q&A show, based on some questions of the interesting questions that have hit my inbox or the Facebook group over the past couple weeks.

It actually stems from a new inbox “trick” I’ve been playing with lately. Maybe I’m a super-latecomer to this game, but I just created 2 new “labels” in Gmail: one for Questions and one for Testimonials.

143: Building a Multi-Million Dollar Ecommerce Brand on the Side

If you’ve ever been frustrated with the products in your life, and thought “there’s gotta be a better way!,” this conversation is sure to hit home.

Jeremy Michael Cohen and Fred Perrotta created Tortuga Backpacks after an awesome trip to Europe — and a less-than-awesome experience with their luggage.

They resolved to create a better travel backpack, and did it, starting as a side hustle of course.

Should I Get an MBA or Start a Business? 41 Experts Weigh In

A few years ago, I debated getting an MBA.

A lot of my friends were doing it, we have some world-class schools nearby (assuming they’d even let me in), and it seemed to be a solid investment in education.

For the most part, I’ve always been comfortable in school. I was a good student, and the structure of education made inherent sense: you show up, learn what you’re supposed to, and then pass a test.

142: $5k per Month Blogging Case Study: How to Drive Massive Traffic with Pinterest, with Rosemarie Groner

Rosemarie Groner is a former state trooper turned blogger and stay at home mom. In the last 12 months, her site The Busy Budgeter has grown from zero to 400,000 page views per month.

More importantly, Rosemarie earned $5000 from the site last month while working on it part-time.

I met Rosemarie (and several other members of her mastermind group) at FinCon in September, where she shared a surprising secret weapon in her success: Pinterest.

The Journey is the Destination

As a kid, I wasn’t much into Star Trek, but I was fascinated by the idea of teleportation.

Beam me up!

It’s so elegantly efficient; I mean who wouldn’t want to skip all the transit time and instead just instantly arrive where you need to go?

I was all about the destination, and would have been happy skipping the journey entirely.

Are we there yet?

It’s taken me a long time to realize this, but there is no “there.”
