The Side Hustle Show

You’ve heard about building time-leveraged income streams. But what if you could instead insert yourself into an income stream that’s already happening?

That’s exactly what Hannah Ingram did at the ripe old age of 22. A real estate agent by day, she bought a cash-flowing car wash with seller financing and no money out of pocket.

Today, Hannah’s business generates thousands of dollars in profit every month, all for just a few hours of work every week.

John Logar is the king of pre-selling software. As one of The Foundation’s top students, he’s broken all their records and even broken the mold on some of the methods they teach.

In fact, he sold $120k worth of software within his first 6 months of joining the program.

Since he was already a consultant, doing idea extraction and finding pain points for businesses was second nature. He just knew nothing about software before so just added a new weapon to his arsenal. (Without learning how to program.)

He’s a natural born salesman if there ever was one.

On this call we get into just one of his pre-sales successes, but they follow a similar pattern: identifying an expensive pain, and solving it with software.

It’ll definitely get your gears turning!

Pallet flipping is a popular "buy low, sell high" side hustle.

When you return a product to Costco, Amazon, or Walmart, it doesn’t always go back to the shelves. In most cases, that product ends up at a local liquidator that resells it to side hustlers, who then flip it for profit.

Jamie McAuley has been doing just that for the past few years, and he’s earned over $25k in profit in the process.

Jamie is one half of the dynamic duo behind the Jamie and Sarah YouTube channel, where they cover all things return pallets, furniture flipping, and more.

"To build income you can hustle, but to build wealth you need to build something that doesn’t require your hands."

That's what this week's guest told me, and then walked me down an interesting path in building that elusive "hands-free" business. His angle?

Product licensing.

Product licensing is essentially selling your ideas to larger companies for a percentage of future sales. You don't have to worry about the design, manufacturing, marketing, distribution, or anything outside an initial pitch and perhaps a prototype.

Stephen Key is a master of this and has been doing it decades. He's the author of One Simple Idea, the bestselling licensing book, and the founder of InventRight.

In this conversation, Stephen shares how you can get started in product licensing without any big upfront investment, how to protect your intellectual property without a patent, and how to get big companies to take you seriously.

This week’s guest learned how to tap into the massive viewership of YouTube and make viral, cash-flowing videos on autopilot.

Tony Lysandrides runs several YouTube channels, and what’s unique about his videos is he’s not on them. They’re faceless videos intentionally engineered for virality.

Tony now brings in up to $14k a month in ad revenue from his videos. With a little practice and a little patience, there’s no reason you can’t do the same.
