Investing might sound scary or intimidating, but really it’s about one simple idea:
How to make your money work for you.
You earned it once, now how can you multiply it in a way that aligns with your risk tolerance?
It’s weird, but I sit on both ends of the spectrum on this, at once having made big bets on my own business and experimenting with “alternative” investment platforms, and on the other hand being paralyzed into sitting on the sidelines by fear the market might go down.
In this section of the site, you’ll find information on real estate investing, trading stocks, and even buying businesses.
Your net worth is the sum of all your assets (cash, savings, mutual funds, equity in your home, etc.) minus your liabilities (student loans, credit card debt, mortgages, etc.).
One tool I like to help calculate your net worth is Personal Capital. It’s free!
What’s the goal of your investment? A goal of accumulating wealth to retire in 30 years is very different than a goal of earning $1000 a month in passive cash flow.
If you’re evaluating all your different investment options, it can be a little overwhelming. This cool quiz from my friends at Money Made can help narrow down your choices and point you in the right* direction.

Austin Miller built a $1.2 million real estate portfolio at 31 years old — for free.
He’s a side hustling real estate investor specializing in “creative” financing deals — houses he can buy without using his own money.
Have you ever done a juice cleanse or a “Whole30” challenge?
While I haven’t ever gone to that extreme, I DO always feel better physically and mentally after even just a few days of clean eating.
So if a quick “cleanse” can work for our health, why not try it with our money?
Making money in real estate typically requires owning the property, right?
Coming up with a large down payment, securing financing, dealing with tenants, handling maintenance and repairs. The barriers to entry aren’t exactly low.
But what if you could skip all that and still bring in serious cash flow by renting out apartments and homes without buying them?
When Richie Matthews and his wife were looking to supplement their seasonal events business in late 2019, rental arbitrage seemed like an ideal side hustle.
Little did they know that just a few months later, that tiny side hustle would quickly scale into a business managing 60 units and generating over $2.5 million in revenue and $700k in profits. He now runs his company, iStayUSA.com.
Have you heard of Turo? Think Airbnb but for cars.
This is my review of the Turo peer-to-peer car rental platform, from the owner’s perspective.
Over the last 4 months, my husband and I have managed to leverage underutilized cars in our driveway and the Turo platform to get a free Tesla Model S for our day-to-day driving.
What can your side hustle make free?
That’s what The Side Hustle Snowball framework tries to answer.
This week’s guest is a long-time Side Hustle Show listener who reached out with a unique side hustle: what’s essentially a part-time lead generation website.
Link Moser runs NHFineHomes.com, which features high-end, lakefront real estate listings in New Hampshire.
As side hustles become more popular — and perhaps necessary — let’s take a look at some of the common options … and what you might consider doing instead.
Selling JPEGs and other digital collectibles – do NFTs present some of the hottest investment opportunities right now?
You could hardly open your laptop or unlock your phone this year without reading about NFTs or non-fungible tokens.
When you start to see jpegs selling for tens of thousands of dollars, you can’t help but ask, wait, what’s going on here?
Cash-flowing $10k a month from a portfolio of mobile homes.
Sounds like a great side hustle, doesn’t it?
It is.
When most people think of real estate investing, mobile homes probably don’t come to mind. In fact, technically speaking, mobile homes are personal property – not real estate.
Can you still make money in domain flipping?
Last year, Mark Levine flipped 70 domain names, for around $160k in gross profit.
Of that, he spent a little over half on renewal fees for his domain name portfolio and acquiring new domains to add to it, netting $70-80k for the year.
Not bad for a part-time hobby!
