Who would have ever thought that cheese boards could earn you $1M? When we first met Monisha Misra, she had grown her charcuterie board side hustle, BoardsbyMo, to over $100k in revenue in less than a year.
Fast forward to today, BoardsbyMo generates over $1 million in lifetime revenue, and Monisha now runs the business full-time with a team of 7 employees.
What if your passion project could transform into a full-time income source in just a few short years?
That’s exactly what Shelley Marmor did when she started her travel blog. Today, Shelley’s ventures generate over $50k monthly in revenue. She now manages a team to handle the day-to-day operations of the sites.
With her hours cut due to the pandemic and a new house to pay for, this week’s guest set out an action plan to make 6-figures in 2021.
To achieve that, Heather Johnson of HeatherXStudio.com decided to start an Etsy store selling print on demand goods like t-shirts, mugs, and other apparel and items.
Fast forward two years and Heather is now a former MRI tech who’s taken her print on demand side hustle full-time and is averaging $15k a month in revenue and $4-5k in monthly profit.
You’ve heard about building time-leveraged income streams. But what if you could instead insert yourself into an income stream that’s already happening?
That’s exactly what Hannah Ingram did at the ripe old age of 22. A real estate agent by day, she bought a cash-flowing car wash with seller financing and no money out of pocket.
John Logar is the king of pre-selling software. As one of The Foundation’s top students, he’s broken all their records and even broken the mold on some of the methods they teach.
In fact, he sold $120k worth of software within his first 6 months of joining the program.
Since he was already a consultant, doing idea extraction and finding pain points for businesses was second nature. He just knew nothing about software before so just added a new weapon to his arsenal. (Without learning how to program.)
This week, we’re talking about how to turn what you already know into an online income stream; or better yet, a recurring online income stream.
Long-time Side Hustle Show listener Steven Foust is a retired Army Chief Warrant Officer (CW3) and Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) who recently left his corporate executive position to pursue his online side hustles full-time.
What if you could rent out digital real estate just as you would traditional real estate, but without all the headaches that come with maintaining a property?
That’s exactly what Luke Van Der Veer is doing with his digital “Rank and Rent” business.
I found Luke through the Side Hustle Nation Facebook group, where he shared a unique take on online business, kind of at the intersection of service businesses, SEO, and real estate.
Today, I’ve got a fascinating side hustle for you: recruiting.
Jon Chintanaroad from RecruitingAccelerator.com knows the recruiting business inside and out, having worked for staffing agencies before starting and selling his own recruiting business.
“To build income you can hustle, but to build wealth you need to build something that doesn’t require your hands.”
That’s what this week’s guest told me, and then walked me down an interesting path in building that elusive “hands-free” business. His angle?
