  • How to Get Paid for Influencer Videos (Even If Amazon Never Pays You)
    In episode 139 of The Side Hustle Experiment Podcast John (https://www.instagram.com/sidehustleexperiment/ ) sits down with Billy Thorpe ( https://www.instagram.com/thorpecreative/) 

    Billy is a creator who’s made over 4,000 influencer videos and consistently earns six figures a year by getting paid upfront by brands, before Amazon ever pays a dime.

    We break down how brand deals actually work behind the scenes, why relying only on Amazon commissions is risky, and how creators can build a real, repeatable business that doesn’t disappear when an algorithm changes.

    Billy explains exactly how brands find creators, why they’re willing to pay cash per video, how beginners can start landing paid deals without a big following, and how to structure simple agreements that don’t turn into a full-time headache.

    If you’re in the Amazon Influencer Program, thinking about getting started, or tired of relying on “hope and pray” commissions, this episode will completely change how you look at influencer income.

    In episode 138 of The Side Hustle Experiment Podcast  John (https://www.instagram.com/sidehustleexperiment/ ) and Drew  (https://www.instagram.com/realdrewd/) revisit their 2025 money predictions, break down what actually played out, and then make new predictions for 2026 about side hustles, online business, platforms, and where real opportunity might exist next.

    Some trends we thought would happen did. Others surprised us. And a few shifts completely changed how we think about making money going forward.

    Toward the end of the episode, we introduce a potential new direction for the podcast. Instead of just talking about ideas and trends, we explore the idea of turning predictions into real-world experiments and challenges, and we ask listeners to weigh in before anything is finalized.

    If you’re trying to think more clearly about money in 2026, avoid overcomplicated business models, and understand where the next wave of opportunity might come from, this episode will help you step back and see the bigger picture.

  • The 6 Mistakes You MUST Avoid To Make Money Online
    In episode 135 of The Side Hustle Experiment Podcast  John (https://www.instagram.com/sidehustleexperiment/ ) and Drew  (https://www.instagram.com/realdrewd/) get brutally honest about their biggest mistakes and bad bets over the last two years - trying to build their own thing.

    They break down why “just give it 90 days” almost derailed them, how chasing too many models at once hurts momentum, and why owning traffic and skills beats reselling all day long. They also get into reading vs podcasts, how to actually use AI without getting mid results, and the dangerous mindset of “eh, that’s good enough.”

    If you’re stuck between shiny objects, feel like you’re working hard but not getting traction, or you’re trying to turn a side hustle into a real business, this one will hit.
