How do you make time for a side hustle?
That’s one of the questions I get the most, and one of the reasons we return to the theme of productivity so often.
In this post (and podcast episode), I’ll share a 10-step process for making — and optimizing — time for your business, inspired by Side Hustle Show guests.
Last May, Monisha Misra reluctantly accepted her first customer. Nine months later, she’d eclipsed $100k in total sales — all on the side from her day job.
BoardsByMo.com is a charcuterie board prep company, and the early success and attention in that arena has spun off other revenue streams including virtual live charcuterie board building classes.
From burned out freelance writer – to making $200+ per day in affiliate sales in less than a year.
That’s Tami Smith’s story.
Tami was writing affiliate content for clients when she had a “why don’t I try that?” moment. With that, FitHealthyMomma.com was born.
It’s time to dive into the ol’ listener mailbag and answer a few questions in this week’s edition of The Side Hustle Show.
I’ve had quite a few interesting questions come in since the last Q&A episode, and picked 20 to talk through in today’s show.
Could selling tradelines be a new income stream for you?
I’d heard whispers of this lucrative, relatively low time-investment side hustle, but never met anyone actually doing it.
That is, until I ran into Paul at FinCon. He said he started out skeptical, but had turned it into a $1000 a month income stream with very little work.
How does the idea of taking your part-time hobby, and turning it into a full-time income sound?
That’s exactly what Carey Adam of RunningMoms.com has done.
Carey has turned her passion for running and fitness, into a full-time business by creating paid products and a membership model.
The Side Hustle Show just hit 428 episodes and almost 15 million lifetime downloads. It’s all pretty crazy for what started as a little side project experiment in 2013 with a $50 mic from my living room.
Podcasting is an incredibly powerful medium and it’s honestly been life-changing for me.
I wish I could give you a definitive answer on how to grow a podcast but the truth is I don’t know. I think there’s a combination of factors at play, and I’ll do my best to outline those in this post.
In October, I sold a website.
It wasn’t a 7-figure, never-work-again type of exit, but when the funds were deposited, it was the largest single amount ever to hit one of my accounts.
I don’t think many of us predicted 2020 turning out the way it did, but it wasn’t all bad.
In the spring, I remember wishing for a “fast forward” button, a way to just get beyond the lockdowns, anxiety, and isolation.
But playing ostrich and putting my head in the sand wasn’t really an option — not for my family or my work.
I know most people are ready to put 2020 behind us for good, but there were some bright spots in the midst of all the craziness.
With that in mind, here were some of mine I’d love to share.
