Side Hustle School

You know how whenever you want to install an app, you have to agree to a lengthy list of Terms & Conditions before doing so? And you know how you never really read them, because what’s the point?

Today’s caller wants to help brands improve their Terms & Conditions, also known as T&C. Can she design and license a template that companies will pay for?

I’m all about solving practical problems … but you also have to ask what problem does this solve?

“Hi this is Jackie and I’m a long time listener, first time caller. I’d like to help brands simplify their Terms & Conditions. No one ever reads those long pages of text that we’re required to approve before downloading an app or joining a website. My idea is to make a series of templates that cover any important legal clauses, but written in a way that makes sense to regular people. I will license the templates to companies for an annual fee, agreeing to make any reasonable number of updates a couple times a year. What do you think about this idea, and how can I market it? Looking forward to hearing from you.”

I believe we can learn as much from failure as we can from success, if not more. It’s with this principle in mind that I offer you a weekly segment called Failure Friday: a collection of short stories all about mistakes, missteps, disasters, and of course, failure. 

Just like our Throwback Thursday segment, you’ll hear directly from side hustlers who have struggled to get something off the ground. They’ll tell you a short story of something that went very wrong.

The stories will vary, but often it starts with an idea, what they thought would happen and what really happened—and of course, what they learned.

A listener with a YouTube channel about quitting smoking wants to earn commissions by referring viewers to therapists. What are the ethical and practical concerns of this idea?

“I’m starting a YouTube series to help people stop smoking by creating more powerful habits. It’s not just about smoking—that’s just my entry point, since I used to be a smoker and many people struggle to quit. Eventually I hope to turn this into a whole business with an online course and membership program. Until then, however, I’d like to earn commission from referring viewers to programs I believe in and to qualified professionals. It’s this second part I’m wondering about: what are the ethics of referring people to therapists or counselors? I want to make sure I’m doing it the right way … but I also don’t want to give up on my idea, since I think it’s powerful. ”

A listener and her teenager have been selling on Facebook Marketplace, and getting off to a good start. Now they have the chance to sell for others, and are wondering about some best practices. Should she charge a percentage, a fixed fee, or some combination? What else might be good to know in this situation?

“My teenage son and I already have a side hustle on Facebook marketplace, it’s actually done pretty well. He sells shoes and I mostly sell books and clothing. It’s also a bonus to get to spend time together. I really enjoy that.

Interestingly, when people hear that I resell things online, I sometimes get asked about selling things for other people. That sounds intriguing to me. I actually did sell a large lot of baskets as a favor for an elderly couple that was downsizing. But while I was glad to do it, I felt a lot more pressure when I was selling for someone else and it was a lot less fun. However, I haven’t ruled this out. So my question is, if I were to sell on consignment, what percentage should I charge or should I set a flat selling fee? Thanks for your inspiration. I’ve been encouraged by your stories of reselling in your early days. I can’t wait to hear your answer.”

Today’s episode is part of a feature we call ‘Your First $1,000.’ As you might surmise from the title, this is all about how someone made their first $1,000.

How did they get to that point? Not their first $100,000—that’s cool, but it would probably be a long story.

But what about their first $1,000—how did they make that happen, what did it feel like, and what did they learn?

Let’s hear today’s story. I’ll be back at the end to wrap us up.

It’s the age-old question: should you have multiple projects or a single focus?

I read a story recently of a lawyer who quit his job and has 8-10 side hustles that all comprise a full-time blended occupation.

8-10 is a lot. Chances are, to do that many, some will need to be largely passive or perhaps seasonal.

Most people are choosing between somewhere like 1-4 side projects, and that’s where the question gets most interesting.

Let’s hear from our listener and consider what might be best for her … and by extension, you.

“Over the past year I’ve been exploring a few different ideas, and have made some progress. But I keep going back and forth about the goals of focus versus diversification. Am I going to be better off trying several things at once, or identifying a single project that I go all-in with? I know you’ve talked about this subject before, but I still don’t know what’s best for me. If it helps, I do have a good amount of time I can devote to this. “
