December 05, 2024Side Hustle Showdown: Buying a Business vs. Investing in Real Estate (Greatest Hits)
If you’re looking to add some time-leveraged cash flow to your bottom line, two of the best options are investing in rental real estate and buying small businesses.
Both are viable options, and to help you figure out if either or both of these investment options are right for you, it’s time for another Side Hustle Showdown.
For the debate, I’ve invited back two Side Hustle Show favorites:
Chad Carson is the owner of over 100+ properties and the author of Retire Early with Real Estate.
Codie Sanchez is the owner of several so-called “boring” small businesses, including a laundromat and a podcast production service.
(In Chad's first appearance, we covered several low-cost real estate side hustles. With Codie, we explored how to grow and monetize an email newsletter.)
Tune in the week to learn:
what kind of portfolios Chad and Codie have built up
how you can get started buying real estate and small businesses
some of the creative financing options available
the mistakes they made along the way
and more

November 21, 2024 642: 50+ Tools and Apps to Work Smarter and Get More Out Of Your Side Hustle
I'm always looking for ways to work smarter and more efficiently, and to that end I took a recent inventory of my online business "toolkit."
Of course many of these will be obvious to you, but hopefully you discover some helpful new resources as well.
The good news? Many of these are free or at least have a free version!
And if you're looking for the definitive guide to online resources named by top entrepreneurs, check out the full collection in my book, Work Smarter.
One important note is I didn't start here. I've cobbled together this toolbox over the last 10+ years, and added expenses only as the revenue justified it.
Start scrappy, start lean, and then invest where it makes sense!
There are also a ton of great suggestions in the comments below!

November 14, 2024640: Get Paid to Sell Other People’s Stuff: Starting a Consignment Side Hustle
How do you make extra money in a low-risk way? And one method I keep coming back to is the idea of starting a consignment business.
So you're selling other people's stuff and just taking a percentage. They get paid, you get paid, and you've got no upfront inventory risk like you'd have with a traditional physical product business.
Sarah McAffry of Statemint Consignment earned over $10,000 from her first consignment event and has continued to grow from there. She has been crushing it in this space for the last 10 years, and it has now expanded to 23 locations across the country.
Tune in to Episode 640 of the Side Hustle Show to learn:
How Sarah got her first 50 sellers to trust her with their inventory
Her marketing strategies to get buyers in the door
How you might start something similar in your own area

November 04, 2024 How a Free Challenge Turned Into a $500,000 a Year Business (Greatest Hits)
More than 150,000 women have completed Tiffany "The Budgetnetista" Aliche's Live Richer Challenge. The roughly 30-day challenge participants step-by-step instructions on how to get their financial lives in order, get out of debt, and start saving money.
Collectively, Tiffany's tribe has saved $17 million and paid off $1.5 in debt!
I first heard Tiffany tell the story of how she started the challenge and how that's turned into a thriving business at FinCon last year, and am excited to share it with you this week.
This year, The Budgetnetista expects to bring in more than $500,000 from speaking, book sales, sponsors and affiliate relationships, and a new private membership academy.
I think her model can be replicated across a number of different niches and industries so you can apply these same strategies and tactics in your business.
Tune in to hear how the former preschool teacher came up with the idea for the challenge, the innovative way she grew her tribe, and how giving it all away for free turned into a very profitable venture.
