You've heard of Hot Tub Time Machine, but how does Hot Tub Cash Machine sound?

That’s effectively the business model this week’s guest, Steve Nadramia.

Steve is a high school history and economics teacher in New York, and a listener of the show.

He reached out after our Thanksgiving episode, which touched on renting out attic space and even camper vans and semi-trucks as potential sources of recurring revenue.

His unconventional rental business?

Portable hot tubs!

Steve started a hot tub rental business to replace his summer job income, with the goal of earning $1000 a month. Today, he’s got 25+ tubs in his "fleet," delivers them with his pickup truck, and is doing thousands of dollars in bookings every month.

Steve explained renting hot tubs is quite common in Europe, but doesn't have much competition in the US yet.

What if you could turn a teenage sports annoyance into a $100k business while juggling school, sports, and everything else that comes with being 15?

Harrison Nott has done exactly that. Starting at just 13 years old, Harrison built CoolTowel into a business projected to hit £100,000 (about $130,000) in revenue this summer alone.

The spark came from a simple problem: getting overheated and uncomfortable while playing squash. Harrison saw an opportunity in the cooling towel market that barely existed 3 years ago.

You know I love a good rental side hustle with recurring revenue and strong ROI. But in this example, there's no equipment to buy, no delivery logistics to deal with, and no tenants' trash in your place, which leads to some really strong margins.

John Michael from TownRankSEO.com started this journey just this past February. He is a longtime Side Hustle Show listener who recently started building and renting out simple local websites.

Websites are digital real estate. And if the location is right — namely, if it shows up at the top of Google — that could be worth quite a bit to the right tenant.

How does a YouTube channel with less than 300 subscribers generate 6-figures a year?

In Joshua Lisec's case, he does it by answering targeted questions, and selling high-value services to those viewers.

Joshua is an award-winning, celebrity-recommended, #1 international bestselling Certified Professional Ghostwriter. He’s also a TEDx speaker, a novelist, and has ghostwritten over 45 books for entrepreneurs, executives, and public figures.

Over the last few years, Joshua's freelance work has gone from $1.67 an hour on his first writing project, to over $500,000 a year!

(Long-time listeners might remember him; Joshua appeared on the show in late 2016. In that classic Side Hustle Show episode, we talked through the OPA strategy -- tapping into Other People's Audiences -- to sell your services.)

In this episode, we're diving into another innovative marketing strategy involving YouTube. It's one you can apply to your own business right away.

What if you could build a website that earns thousands per month in relatively hands-off income while traditional SEO struggles?

That's exactly what Frey Chu has done with his directory-style websites. While article-based content sites have been getting hammered by Google updates, directory content has remained resistant to these changes and continues to generate that elusive semi-passive income online.

Frey built his first directory in the thrifting space, and six months later discovered it was getting 1,000 visitors per day. He quickly monetized with ads and made $1,200 that first month without doing much of anything.

Today, Frey earns a few thousand dollars monthly from his directory portfolio at ShipYourDirectory.com and teaches others how to replicate his success.

Want a roadmap to build time-leveraged cash flow and long-term wealth without the complexity of traditional business ventures?

Dustin Heiner is back on the show to share his proven strategy: buy one profitable investment property per year for 10 years.

It might sound easier said than done, but Dustin has retired early from the cash flow of his 30+ rental properties and now helps others replicate his success at MasterPassiveIncome.com.

Dustin treats real estate as an "income building" business, not speculation. He's built systems that generate consistent monthly cash flow while building equity — and his 16-year-old daughter just bought her first property using these same strategies.

(Check out Dustin's free real estate investing starter course and learn more about his proven systems.)
