What if you could turn a teenage sports annoyance into a $100k business while juggling school, sports, and everything else that comes with being 15?
Harrison Nott has done exactly that. Starting at just 13 years old, Harrison built CoolTowel into a business projected to hit £100,000 (about $130,000) in revenue this summer alone.
It’s that time again — back into the listener mailbag for another round of Q&A on The Side Hustle Show.
This week, I’ve got 13 brand-new questions to dive into, covering everything from launching a hustle with $5,000, to small-town business ideas, making money with art, navigating anonymity online, and even whether rich people should still have side hustles.
What if you could turn brand partnerships into serious income, even with just hundreds of followers?
Justin Moore, founder of Creator Wizard and author of Sponsor Magnet, is back to show us exactly how creators are landing four-figure deals without massive audiences. We’re talking about tapping into that $480 billion creator economy pie — and you don’t need a million followers to get your slice.
This episode covers what brands really care about (hint: it’s not your follower count), how to find the right decision makers, and how to structure deals that keep brands coming back for more.
You know I love a good rental side hustle with recurring revenue and strong ROI.
But in this example, there’s no equipment to buy, no delivery logistics to deal with, and no tenants trashing in your place, which leads to some really strong margins.
John Michael from TownRankSEO.com started this journey just this past February. He is a longtime Side Hustle Show listener who recently started building and renting out simple local websites.
What if you could build a website that earns thousands per month in relatively hands-off income while traditional SEO struggles?
That’s exactly what Frey Chu has done with his directory-style websites. While article-based content sites have been getting hammered by Google updates, directory content has remained resistant to these changes and continues to generate that elusive semi-passive income online.
Want a roadmap to build time-leveraged cash flow and long-term wealth without the complexity of traditional business ventures?
Dustin Heiner is back on the show to share his proven strategy: buy one profitable investment property per year for 10 years.
It might sound easier said than done, but Dustin has retired early from the cash flow of his 30+ rental properties and now helps others replicate his success at MasterPassiveIncome.com.
Dustin treats real estate as an “income building” business, not speculation. He’s built systems that generate consistent monthly cash flow while building equity — and his 16-year-old daughter just bought her first property using these same strategies.

Congrats! You’ve got a great side hustle idea … now you just need money to get it off the ground.
Even though many small businesses can have pretty low startup costs, most will still require at least some startup capital.
In this guide, I’ll share the most popular ways to fund your new business, so you can choose the path that makes the most sense for you.
It’s time for another round of business idea giveaways, this time with an AI-assisted theme to them!
We’ve got 18 at least of these to go through, and to help me out, he’s no stranger to The Side Hustle Show, long-time listener, serial side hustler, from doyouevenblog.com and codeplaybook.com, Pete McPherson.
He was last on just a few months ago in Ep. 659 talking about AI-coded apps.
The Internet seems impossibly big and crowded — until you learn how to shrink it. In this post, I’ll share my 10 favorite ways to it and connect with your ideal customers.
What if you could build a systematic reselling business that averages $200+ per item, gets inventory for free, and has the potential to become a full-time income?
Meet Matt and Hannah Lee, who’ve been doing exactly that for the last eight years through ShareTown, a platform that connects return item pickup reps with direct-to-consumer brands.
Unlike the treasure hunt of liquidation pallets, this is a more systematic approach with lower transaction volume but higher profit per item. But these items are big, bulky furniture, mattresses, and exercise equipment that require proper transportation and storage.
For the last three years, Matt and Hannah have turned this into a full-time income, flipping 40-60 items per month and averaging $200-250 profit per item.
