Online Business

To make money online, you generally need 3 things:

  1. A website (don’t worry, they’re not that hard to make)
  2. An audience
  3. Something to sell

There will always be exceptions to this rule, like the YouTube celebrities who don’t have their own site, but most of the successful entrepreneurs online (myself included) have figured out those 3 things.

An online business is a great asset; you can work from anywhere and serve people worldwide. Depending on how you have it set up, you can even earn money while you sleep. Ahh that elusive “passive income!”

The location-independent business models you’ll find here include blogging, podcasting, self-publishing, teaching online courses, and more.

If you’re not sure where to start, let me recommend this “Greatest Hits” collection:

12 Ways to Monetize a Podcast – Plus My Actual Results

How do podcasts make money?

Producing a show takes real work, and if you want to keep your show running, you’ve got to find a way to make it work for you too.

The truth is most shows don’t make any money at all — and it took years before my podcast, The Side Hustle Show, could reasonably be considered a business on its own.

How a Part-Time Dinosaur Podcast Became a Full-Time Business

There has never been a better time to build an online business around a topic you care about.

Reselling Software: Don’t Start a SaaS — White Label Someone Else’s Instead

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 Much Does it Cost to Start a Podcast? Less Than You Think

I’m almost 7 years into hosting The Side Hustle Show, and what started as a little side-project experiment has turned into a life-changing adventure.

I’ve had the unique opportunity to meet some amazing entrepreneurs, share their stories, and build a worldwide audience of listeners. Oh, and build a really rewarding business as well.

One question I’ve been asked a few times is how much it costs to start a podcast, so I thought I’d put together a quick list of the expenses in case you’re thinking of starting a show of your own.
