The Side Hustle Show - 524: How to Make Money with a Small Podcast
play

07/28/22 • 53 min

Megan Champion is a mom of 3, a 15-year elementary education teacher, and in the past year, she’s started a side hustle that has brought in $20,000.

Megan’s side hustle is in the parenting niche and has 3 main parts:

  1. An Instagram account to drive awareness
  2. A podcast called On The Hard Days to drive connection
  3. And a paid membership to drive community — and recurring revenue.

In this episode, you’ll learn how all three of those work and how they work together to build Megan’s business — and how you may be able to apply some of the same strategies to your own business.

The exciting thing here is that the audience numbers that Megan shares aren’t huge, but they’ve still been enough to build a pretty substantial extra income stream and help a lot of people at the same time.

Tune in to The Side Hustle Show interview to hear:

  • how and why Megan had the idea to start a podcast and paid membership
  • the ways she has leveraged a small but dedicated social media audience
  • how Megan validated her membership idea and launched it

From working 40-50 hours a week in an engineering job to working 5-10 hours a week in a “lifestyle business”.

That’s the lifestyle and business shift Chris Lollini created for himself by white labeling someone else’s software tools.

White labeling is a super interesting business model.

It’s basically putting your brand, your sales and marketing, and your frontline customer support on top of an existing software product.

And it comes with a lot of the benefits of SaaS — recurring revenue, good margins — without the upfront development time and expense.

To make it work, you essentially play matchmaker — finding a common problem and pairing that with a software solution.

Chris was a self-described “recovering engineer” who started a marketing agency as a side hustle 9 years ago, which has evolved into a multi-6 figure white labeling operation called Reputation Igniter.

Through Ignite.Reviews, Chris Lollini helps small businesses earn more positive reviews for their work.

Tune in to The Side Hustle Show interview to hear:

  • how Chris got the idea to start white labeling SaaS products
  • how he identified his customer's pain points and provided a SaaS solution
  • the methods he uses to add value and create healthy profit margins

This week it’s the 500th episode of The Side Hustle Show, which just seems crazy to me.

It feels like just yesterday I started this thing in a lot of ways. But it’s been 9 years — I guess time flies when you’re having fun.

In honor of the 500 episode milestone, I wanted to reflect back on 10 big ideas and 10 common themes over the last 9 years.

It took longer than I care to admit to go back through the archives and pull out some of these forgotten soundbites, but I think you’ll like ‘em.

Tune in to this episode of The Side Hustle Show to hear 10 of the big ideas I’ve gotten from speaking with hundreds of guests of the years, and how you can implement these ideas within your business today.

Today’s guest, Matt Bochnak of HowToMotorcycleRepair.com, is one of my favorite examples of how you can dedicate part of your week to generating time-leveraged income.

This is Matt’s third time on The Side Hustle Show, and every time we speak he’s made huge leaps forward with his business.

Matt first appeared on the show back in 2016 when he was making around $1,000 a month recording himself performing motorcycle repairs in his garage and selling digital products.

When Matt appeared on the show for a second time in 2019 he was making $4,000-5,000 a month from a combination of digital product sales, YouTube ad income, affiliate commissions, Patreon, and sponsored content.

As you’ll discover in this episode, Matt is now making almost $20,000 a month in revenue. He’s completely shut down the service side of his business, expanded into physical products, and more.

Tune in to The Side Hustle Show interview to hear:

  • how Matt’s business has changed since we last spoke in 2019
  • where the idea for a physical product came from and how he validated it
  • the various revenue streams ringing the cash register for Matt right now

04/18/22 • 23 min

The cocktail content business wasn't paying the bills, but a slight pivot changed everything.

Chris and Julia Tunstall from ABarAbove.com were disappointed with the quality of existing barware on the market. So they placed a big bet that they could do better—and sold out in 3 weeks.

This is a story about the power of being a part of your community and listening to what they really want.

The Side Hustle Show - 501: $3000 a Month Flipping Mattresses Part-Time
play

05/09/22 • 15 min

Staci and her husband are earning $3,000-$4,000 month reselling like-new furniture with risk-free inventory sourced from Sharetown. Sharetown is a “reverse logistics” company that helps online, name brand furniture companies deal with customer returns.

As a Sharetown rep, you get notified of these return requests, pick up the items, clean and store them, and resell them on Facebook Marketplace or other outlets. Per Staci, you only have to pay Sharetown for your inventory once each item sells.
