Ecommerce

“Nothing puts a smile on a consumer’s face quicker than a good peach.”

This week’s guest is Shannon Houchin of RoadsideRepublic.com, and she’s passionate about peaches, fresh produce, and delivering an awesome customer experience.

Shannon actually reached out to me and said, Nick, you’ve got episodes on flipping books and mattresses, clearance products, domain names, flea market finds, and a ton of other stuff – but have I got a side hustle for you: I flip peaches. 

There’s profit out there, you just have to learn how to find it.

On this week’s show I’m joined by a pair of Side Hustle Show listeners who’ve been learning that skill and have translated it into tens of thousands of dollars in sales over the last 16 months.

Jack and Joan Ferrell of SecondTimeSellers.com are resellers. They find used items at flea markets, yard sales, online auctions, and flip those items for anywhere up to 10x what they paid for them.

“How I bootstrapped a 6-figure e-commerce brand in its first year with zero ad spend.”

That was the subject line that Side Hustle Show Connor Meakin sent me that grabbed my attention and earned him a spot on this week’s show.

The brand Connor is talking about is BluebirdProvisions.co, an organic bone broth, and bone broth powder company.

Creating digital assets you can sell over and over again – that’s the passive income dream.

This is exactly what Rachel Jones at MoneyHackingMama.com has done by creating and selling downloadable printables on Etsy.

This year she’s averaging over $10,000 a month in sales, all while balancing a full-time job and two young kids. 

Smart side hustlers go where the cash is already flowing…

One place it’s been flowing at a rapidly increasing pace is Facebook Marketplace.

What started as a Craigslist competitor — a place to buy and sell secondhand stuff — has morphed into an e-commerce powerhouse in its own right.

What came first; the domain name or the business idea?

For Peter Askew, the owner of VidaliaOnions.com, and the author of a viral blog post called “I Sell Onions on the Internet”, the answer is always the domain name.

Peter is fascinated by expired domain names and how they’re treated like physical assets.

From zero to $3,500 a day selling custom pet prints on Etsy – in just 6 months!

That’s the story behind today’s guest, Luke Emery of VanWoof.com.

Luke has a background in design and portrait painting. So, he decided to utilize these skills and his e-commerce experience and start a business selling custom pet portraits.
