The Side Hustle Show

What if you could turn a teenage sports annoyance into a $100k business while juggling school, sports, and everything else that comes with being 15? Harrison Nott has done exactly that. Starting at just 13 years old, Harrison built CoolTowel into a business projected to hit £100,000 (about $130,000) in revenue this summer alone. The spark came from a simple problem: getting overheated and uncomfortable while playing squash. Harrison saw an opportunity in the cooling towel market that barely existed 3 years ago.

What if you could turn brand partnerships into serious income, even with just hundreds of followers? Justin Moore, founder of Creator Wizard and author of Sponsor Magnet, is back to show us exactly how creators are landing four-figure deals without massive audiences. We're talking about tapping into that $480 billion creator economy pie — and you don't need a million followers to get your slice. This episode covers what brands really care about (hint: it's not your follower count), how to find the right decision makers, and how to structure deals that keep brands coming back for more.

You know I love a good rental side hustle with recurring revenue and strong ROI. But in this example, there's no equipment to buy, no delivery logistics to deal with, and no tenants' trash in your place, which leads to some really strong margins. John Michael from TownRankSEO.com started this journey just this past February. He is a longtime Side Hustle Show listener who recently started building and renting out simple local websites. Websites are digital real estate. And if the location is right — namely, if it shows up at the top of Google — that could be worth quite a bit to the right tenant. Tune in to Episode 693 of the Side Hustle Show to learn: How to research profitable local niches for website rental What it takes to build and rank these sites quickly Creative ways to find business owners who need leads The unexpected SEO consulting opportunities that emerged Want more?

How does a YouTube channel with less than 300 subscribers generate 6-figures a year? In Joshua Lisec's case, he does it by answering targeted questions, and selling high-value services to those viewers. Joshua is an award-winning, celebrity-recommended, #1 international bestselling Certified Professional Ghostwriter. He’s also a TEDx speaker, a novelist, and has ghostwritten over 45 books for entrepreneurs, executives, and public figures. Over the last few years, Joshua's freelance work has gone from $1.67 an hour on his first writing project, to over $500,000 a year! (Long-time listeners might remember him; Joshua appeared on the show in late 2016. In that classic Side Hustle Show episode, we talked through the OPA strategy -- tapping into Other People's Audiences -- to sell your services.) In this episode, we're diving into another innovative marketing strategy involving YouTube. It's one you can apply to your own business right away.

What if you could build a website that earns thousands per month in relatively hands-off income while traditional SEO struggles? That's exactly what Frey Chu has done with his directory-style websites. While article-based content sites have been getting hammered by Google updates, directory content has remained resistant to these changes and continues to generate that elusive semi-passive income online. Frey built his first directory in the thrifting space, and six months later discovered it was getting 1,000 visitors per day. He quickly monetized with ads and made $1,200 that first month without doing much of anything. Today, Frey earns a few thousand dollars monthly from his directory portfolio at ShipYourDirectory.com and teaches others how to replicate his success.

Want a roadmap to build time-leveraged cash flow and long-term wealth without the complexity of traditional business ventures? Dustin Heiner is back on the show to share his proven strategy: buy one profitable investment property per year for 10 years. It might sound easier said than done, but Dustin has retired early from the cash flow of his 30+ rental properties and now helps others replicate his success at MasterPassiveIncome.com. Dustin treats real estate as an "income building" business, not speculation. He's built systems that generate consistent monthly cash flow while building equity — and his 16-year-old daughter just bought her first property using these same strategies. (Check out Dustin's free real estate investing starter course and learn more about his proven systems.)

Congrats! You've got a great side hustle idea ... now you just need money to get it off the ground. Even though many small businesses can have pretty low startup costs, most will still require at least some startup capital. And having enough money to start and grow your business is important. According to a recent study by CB Insights, 38% of startups fail because they can’t raise new capital. Similarly, "money" is consistently among the top struggles for side hustle founders. In this episode, I'll share the most popular ways to fund your new business, so you can choose the path that makes the most sense for you. I'll also share real-life examples of how some of the biggest brands in the world got the funding they needed to grow. Ready? Let's do it!

No skills to start a side hustle? Today’s guest, Chris Misterek of SelfMadeWebDesigner.com didn’t let that hold him back. He went from being in a tight spot personally and financially, to bringing in an average of $3k a month on the side through his new web design business.

What if you could build a systematic reselling business that averages $200+ per item, gets inventory for free, and has the potential to become a full-time income? Meet Matt and Hannah Lee, who've been doing exactly that for the last eight years through ShareTown, a platform that connects return item pickup reps with direct-to-consumer brands. Unlike the treasure hunt of liquidation pallets, this is a more systematic approach with lower transaction volume but higher profit per item. But these items are big, bulky furniture, mattresses, and exercise equipment that require proper transportation and storage. For the last three years, Matt and Hannah have turned this into a full-time income, flipping 40-60 items per month and averaging $200-250 profit per item.

What if you could turn 10 acres of rural land into a million-dollar hospitality empire while working a full-time job? Garrett Brown from Cameron Ranch Glamping strategically "land hacked" his way into a multi-six-figure operation that's now worth $1.5 million and generates nearly $100,000 per year from a single geodome. By day, he teaches short-term rentals at BiggerPockets, but his real wealth-building happens through his glamping side hustle with $400+ nightly rates without the overhead of a traditional hotel.

What if you could help local businesses get more customers while building a six-figure recurring revenue business from anywhere in the world? Eric Dingler from EricDingler.com runs a successful digital agency, In Transit Studios, while traveling with his family across 20+ countries. But if he was starting over today, he'd focus on one simple service: local SEO. While traditional SEO gets eaten alive by AI and Reddit, local search remains a goldmine.

Are laundromats "the ultimate side hustle," like my guest Jordan Berry described? These simple, local, cash-flowing businesses have been around forever, but surprisingly this is the first time discussing them in detail on the show. Jordan is a former pastor turned laundromat mogul. Along the way, he's become an advocate for the industry through his website and podcast at LaundromatResource.com. Jordan got the idea to buy a laundromat after his wife told him about a family friend quitting his day job in tech after buying one. It wasn’t just the income potential that intrigued Jordan. He wanted a business that would generate passive income -- and yield better returns than real estate. Jordan has been able to achieve both of those things through buying laundromats.

Ever feel like you need a personal assistant but can't afford one? Hannah Morgan found a way to help busy families get that support without the big price tag. She started Heron House Management, a virtual service that handles all the stuff families need to do but never have time for. Think about it: remembering when summer camp sign-ups open, booking doctor appointments, planning family trips, or just keeping track of everyone's schedules. Hannah's team does all of that - from their computers. Her business made $60,000 last year and keeps growing. And the best part is she works totally remote and helps families get their time back.
