How to Unlock New, Personalized Side Hustle Ideas with AI

Allison Baggerly from Inspired Budget

What if you could get personalized side hustle ideas that actually fit your life instead of scrolling through another generic listicle?

That’s exactly what we’re tackling in this special crossover episode with Allison Baggerly from the Inspired Budget Podcast.

After 650+ interviews on the Side Hustle Show, I noticed something interesting: almost nobody finds their winning side hustle idea by Googling “ways to make extra money” and picking number 17 from some random blog post.

The ideas that stick are the ones that connect your skills, interests, and available time with real problems people will pay you to solve.

So I created a free ChatGPT prompt generator that asks you the right questions and spits out personalized side hustle ideas tailored specifically to you.

chris lollini

Reselling software gives you many of the benefits of a software business, without the upfront development cost.

That means you can enjoy recurring revenue, selling one product to multiple customers, and strong profit margins by white labeling a software tool that already exists.

These benefits are what attract many people to starting a SaaS, or software as a service, but you may not need to go through the trouble.

After all, there may already be a tool that solves the same problem. Could you become a software reseller instead of a software creator?

How I Turned Public Domain Radio into a 6-Figure Business

Want to build a six-figure cleaning business where your customers do all the cleaning?

That’s exactly what Cheyenne Bulloch built with Domestic Daydreams, combining free public domain radio shows with a near-universal problem: keeping your house clean.

Cheyenne is a longtime Side Hustle Show listener who turned a creative idea into a recurring revenue business.

For $25 a month or $45 a quarter, she sends members six private podcast episodes a week featuring old public domain radio shows (think Dragnet and classic crime dramas) interspersed with cleaning routines and instructions.

Instead of commercial breaks, you get prompts like “now go fold some laundry.” And with over 500 members, the concept is clearly resonating.
