As someone who was a pretty good student in school, I always thought about starting a tutoring business. But while I never acted on it, Matt Fuentes did.
In this interview, he breaks down the steps he took to build a $1000 a week tutoring business. He focuses on the ACT, but I believe you can apply these tactics to other tests or other academic subjects — even if you're not a teacher.

What if we looked at our businesses like professional sports teams?
That’s what Vincent Pugliese from Membership Freedom shared, drawing parallels between running a successful business and how sports franchises operate.
Vincent helps people build successful membership sites and communities around topics they care about.
He previously shared his freelance-to-freedom story of going from making $30k a year to earning $30k in a single day through freelancing.
In this episode, Vincent explains the "Stadium Model of Entrepreneurship." This model draws inspiration from how sports franchises operate, offering various levels of access and products to their audience.

Billboards are timeless.
And they remain a successful advertising strategy even with the rise of digital technology.
With that said, you probably never imagined that a solopreneur could rake in $30,000 a month from it (part-time!).
But that’s exactly what Chris Brown from Signs of Good and wantmore.org has done for the past decade.
Chris retired early at the age of 42 and now owns approximately 30 billboards around Bentonville, Arkansas.
Tune in to Ep 608 of The Side Hustle Show to learn:

how to find billboards for sale

find places where you could put one

how to fill that ad space

how passive it is once you’re up and running

Do you want to get rich? To build real, lasting wealth that can change your family's circumstances for generations?
Prepare to be disappointed because there are no get-rich-quick shortcuts or overnight secrets.
Building wealth takes time, discipline, and sustained effort.
But the good news is you can absolutely do it, no matter your current situation or starting point. All it takes is following some proven rules and principles to put you on the path.
I'm talking about 10 fundamental rules that will help turn your financial dreams into reality. And they come from my recent conversation with Robert Farrington, founder of the famous personal finance site The College Investor and a longtime guest on The Side Hustle Show.
This conversation is based on his article 10 Rules to Get Rich and Grow Wealth.

How can one income stream turn into a whole lot more?
Simplify first, diversify second—that’s an idea I have always advocated on the show.
The first step towards diversifying is to have something working. But how do you know it’s time to diversify?
That is exactly what Bjork Ostrom (our previous guest from Ep 46) has done as he (and his wife Lindsay) masterfully “stacked” multiple online businesses that have developed out of their original food blog, Pinch of Yum.
This 10-year-old blog has been a launchpad for Food Blogger Pro (a guide for aspiring food bloggers), Clariti (for optimizing your site's content), and the holding company, TinyBit.
And this is the framework he uses to decide if an idea is worth pursuing.

606: Side Hustle Stacking: How One Extra Income Stream Can Lead to More

Starting a service business on the side is one of the fastest ways to build extra income. It's flexible, low-overhead, and you can probably start with skills you already have.
“I had a lot of drive underneath me," Abbey Ashley told me, about starting her service business back in 2013. "I was super pregnant and I hated my job so much,”
Abbey started offering her services as a virtual assistant, and connected with her first clients at local networking events in Washington, DC. My the time her maternity leave was up--just a few short months--Abbey had booked enough work to not have to go back to that job she hated.
On top of that, she only had to work 20 hours a week to do it, and could work from home.
There are almost no barriers to entry to starting a freelance service business, and the startup costs are minimal. (All Abbey did was make business cards for networking.)
In fact, it was a service business, a house painting business in my case, that was one of my first entrepreneurial adventures.
Over time, Abbey scaled her virtual assistant business from just herself at $20-30 an hour, to her own little virtual agency, to $75 an hour and up for some specialized work.
