In November I released my Udemy course, Kindle Launch Plan: $1400 in 30 Days & an Amazon Bestseller.
It’s about time I break down what I did to create the course, launch it, and ultimately earn $3525 in the first 60 days.
Have you published a course on Udemy? How did it go?
Would you use their platform again?
Dorie’s latest book is called Stand Out: How to Find Your Breakthrough Idea and Build a Following Around It, and it is the perfect companion to anyone trying to build a personal brand, an authority website, or an audience-based business.
This episode is a little different from other Side Hustle Show episodes because we actually don’t talk much about Dorie’s personal story or experience at all, but rather dive into the research and examples that went into Stand Out.
Listen in to learn how you can generate your next killer idea, get people to pay attention to you, and find a way to monetize it.
This is my first attempt at what may turn into a regular series: a quarterly progress report.
Why quarterly? Because months are too short.
Why “progress”? Because that’s what it’s all about.
To me, progress means forward motion, or actively taking the steps to improve each day. It’s one thing we can control.
I’ve been medium-obsessed with the idea of early retirement ever since I discovered this little blog called Mr. Money Mustache a couple years ago.
The basic formula goes like this: once you have 25x your annual spending in invested net worth, you can theoretically live off growth/interest/dividends in perpetuity.
On today’s episode you’ll meet Jeremy Jacobson, who retired at 37 and now spends his days traveling with his wife and soaking up new cultures and experiences — and blogging about financial independence.
Most companies want their employees to focus 100% of their attention on their assigned projects and tasks. It makes sense, right? Do the job you’re getting paid to do, and don’t ask questions. In fact, when I got hired right out of college, my company had a weird habit of transplanting new hires across the … Read more
Four months ago, Andy Slamans gave us a detailed look at Amazon FBA product selection, working with manufacturers, and bringing those products to market.
But the most common question I get from listeners is how to find that first product to import.
How do I find a profitable product? How do I measure the competition? How do I validate the demand and the pricing? In today’s episode, I sit down with Will Mitchell from StartupBros.com to dive into those exact questions.
Dan Faggella sent me an email last month that essentially said, “Hey Nick, I’m a fan of the show. I have some expertise in email marketing, and I know many of your listeners are working to build their online presence and their email lists. Would it make sense to do an episode on some list building and email best practices?”
And then he added the kicker: “I’m making $50k/mo selling martial arts training videos right now, and I have other businesses as well…”
OK, I’m listening!
This week my friend Alex Barker co-hosts and interviews me on my entrepreneurial beginnings, my first side hustle, and the origins and future of Side Hustle Nation. We also go through a few listener questions as well.
I realized I’ve told some of these stories only in bits and pieces on the show and on the Side Hustle Nation blog before, despite having mentioned them on several other podcasts.
This episode is admittedly a little “fluffy” — so I promise a return to the hard-hitting tactical stuff next week!
Nate and his brother earned $300,000 in passive income by licensing one of their ideas to Mattel. They didn’t have to design it, produce it, or sell it. But they found someone who could, and they cashed the checks.
And to be fair, Nate will be the first to tell you these kind of results aren’t typical — but he’s proof they ARE possible.
Nate’s actually a dentist by day, but a pretty serious side hustler by night, and on this call we take a deep dive into the world of product licensing.
John Corcoran is well-known in online business circles for being “the connections guy,” but I was more curious in how he’s built his own online business than networking tips.
Today he sells his own premium course on Connecting with Influencers, plus earns money as an affiliate for other high-dollar, high-value online products.
In January, he earned $30,000 in one month, through sales of his own product and as an affiliate for others. In this call we get into building and selling a course of your own, the best ways to get it done, and maybe a little bit about building the partnerships to make a powerful impact.
