611: The 6-Figure Video Game Mom

The Side Hustle Show

You know those endless hours you've spent perfecting your Fortnite skills or learning how to defeat a Guardian in Zelda games?

There is a chance those skills aren't just good for bragging rights or racking up likes on Twitch.

In fact, it is possible to make money out of these games without being an online streamer.

I'm talking about teaching video games online, and the demand for these is exploding.

In this "Where Are They Now?" series, we have once again Devyn Ricks from missdevyn.com share how much her online gaming teaching business has grown over the last years since we talked in Episode 499.

When Devyn and I connected a couple of years ago, she was making around $4,000/month.

Today, her business has more than doubled, earning her the title of "six-figure video game mom." She has since expanded her team to 14 teachers.

Tune in to Episode 611 of The Side Hustle Show to learn:

  • mechanics of setting up classes on Outschool
  • strategies Devyn used to market her classes
  • how Devyn identified her profitable niche
  • connected with her audience
