Mitch Davis is selling around $9,000 per month with private label products on Amazon Japan on the side from his day job. (Of that, around $3000 is profit, which cover's his family's living expenses.) Selling on Amazon Japan via FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) opens up a whole new marketplace for Amazon sellers, and one that Mitch says is a lot less competitive than the US. Tune in to hear Mitch talk me through:  his process for researching profitable products how he deals with manufacturers and the shipping process, some of the nuances that come with selling on a platform that’s not in your native language  For more, be sure to check out Mitch's YouTube channel and join his free Amazon FBA Japan Facebook Group.

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.

Google's Helpful Content Update (HCU) hit a lot of online businesses hard with its new update.
Even well-established and authoritative websites experienced a significant drop in their rankings.
That's why I went behind the scenes with Kelan Kline from The Savvy Couple, whose online blogging side hustle did well even after the update.
Kelan built his online business up from making $50 in the first year to now seeing around 500k pageviews a month. That led to his online business making seven figures last year.

Ever wish you could get a piece of the Amazon pie?
Corey Ganim of coreyganim.com did just that, banking $3.2 million in sales by selling other people's products on the e-commerce giant's platform.
And he didn't have to deal with the massive upfront costs and headaches of manufacturing his own products.
Corey got started in early 2019 and went full-time with his unique wholesale business model by mid-2020.
He's since built a multi-million-dollar business buying brand-name inventory at wholesale prices and reselling it on Amazon at a profit.
In this episode, Corey shares his best tips and insights featured in his book, The 5 Pillars of Amazon Wholesale and his free Wholesale Challenge training.

One of the most common questions I get is, "What if I don't have any skills? Can I still start a side hustle?"
On the one hand, I totally get that feeling.
If you're a teacher, tutoring might seem like an obvious side gig. If you're an accountant, you could freelance or start a bookkeeping business.
But not everyone's skills neatly align with a natural side hustle. So what do you do if you don't think you have any marketable skills? Is there still a path to earning extra income on the side?
Yes, there absolutely is! And that's what I'm breaking down in this post—your four options to start a profitable side hustle, even if you think you're skillless today.
