No, it’s not as sexy as “passive income,” but it’s not as speculative either. You can start getting paid right away, and if your goal is to replace your day job income, there’s probably no faster way.

Would 10 new clients solve all your business worries?
That was the position Helen Pritchard from HelenPritchardOnline.com was in back in 2008.
On the back of a financial and personal crisis, Helen needed 10 clients paying £250 each to pay her bills.
Yes, you can teach English online — and you don’t even need experience or a college degree to start.
You’ve probably heard about people traveling abroad to teach English, but you can actually do it from the comfort of your home.

In fact, the online learning industry is booming. By 2025 the e-learning market is projected to be worth $325 billion! And the market for learning English online is a big chunk of that.

From personal pain point to a 7-figure payday!
That’s what Donald Spann did when he started — and eventually sold — his virtual receptionist company, Vicky Virtual.
Donald took a personal pain point of his — handling incoming phone calls in his cleaning business — and built out a fully remote virtual call center.
It’s been a while since we talked about Fiverr, but the way today’s guest has been using the platform to supplement his freelance is an eye-opener.
In this episode, I’m joined by Mike Zima from ZimaMedia.com — a full-service digital marketing agency that got its start with a single $5 sale on Fiverr.
Mike’s claim to fame: He’s the only Fiverr seller who’s mentioned in Fiverr’s IPO pitch deck.
Rob brought in $40k last year hosting tours in of Washington, D.C. — all on the side from his day job, and with no marketing budget.
However, if you Google “Washington, D.C tour guide”, Rob Pitingolo’s TripHacksDC.com is nowhere to be seen.
So what’s secret sauce?
He’s been creating helpful tourist-friendly content on YouTube, and outlet largely ignored by his better-funded competitors.
In October of 2017, Fiverr launched a new service called Fiverr Pro, which features the top 1% of sellers on the platform.
Our business was the first to be featured in the Pro section for SEO, and here we’ll explain some of our strategies for building your brand on Fiverr as well as best practices for being accepted into Fiverr Pro.
That’s exactly what today’s guest, Josh Elledge is doing.
Josh runs a kind of modern PR service for small businesses and has developed a unique and innovative way to break through the marketing clutter and have real conversations with real prospects — and do it at scale.
He’s found a way to create what he calls “a speed dating environment.” That’s his metaphor for the revolving door of new prospects he’s interviewing and selling his services to.
He knew his $12 an hour gig at Walmart was a dead-end job.
His escape route was a business idea you probably walk past at least a couple times a year without even thinking about it.
What’s he do?
Today, Larry McGee’s the guy who takes care of the aquarium at the dentist office and other commercial waiting rooms.
And it earns him around $70,000 a year, doing something he enjoys and working just 15-hours a week.
You’ve started a business.
You’ve created a product or a service.
You’re selling it to clients and getting great feedback.
That’s great, you’ve overcome so many of the hurdles we face as entrepreneurs. But the next step is finding a way to keep new customers coming through the doors and scaling up your services.
