    604: How to Make $3.2M/Year Reselling Products on Amazon

    Ever wish you could get a piece of the Amazon pie?
    Corey Ganim of coreyganim.com did just that, banking $3.2 million in sales by selling other people's products on the e-commerce giant's platform.
    And he didn't have to deal with the massive upfront costs and headaches of manufacturing his own products.
    Corey got started in early 2019 and went full-time with his unique wholesale business model by mid-2020.
    He's since built a multi-million-dollar business buying brand-name inventory at wholesale prices and reselling it on Amazon at a profit.
    In this episode, Corey shares his best tips and insights featured in his book, The 5 Pillars of Amazon Wholesale and his free Wholesale Challenge training.

    603: What Side Hustles Can You Start if You Don't Have Any Skills?

    603: What Side Hustles Can You Start if You Don't Have Any Skills?

    One of the most common questions I get is, "What if I don't have any skills? Can I still start a side hustle?"
    On the one hand, I totally get that feeling.
    If you're a teacher, tutoring might seem like an obvious side gig. If you're an accountant, you could freelance or start a bookkeeping business.
    But not everyone's skills neatly align with a natural side hustle. So what do you do if you don't think you have any marketable skills? Is there still a path to earning extra income on the side?
    Yes, there absolutely is! And that's what I'm breaking down in this post—your four options to start a profitable side hustle, even if you think you're skillless today.

    GH: Free Houses: How to Build a $1 Million Real Estate Portfolio on the Side

    GH: Free Houses: How to Build a $1 Million Real Estate Portfolio on the Side

    Austin Miller built a $1.2 million real estate portfolio at 31 years old -- for free.
    He's a side hustling real estate investor specializing in "creative" financing deals -- houses he can buy without using his own money.
    Austin is the author of Free Houses: How To Build Your Real Estate Investment Portfolio With No Money.
    His basic strategy is this:

    Find a killer deal on a house that needs some work.

    Buy it with the creative financing methods Austin talks about in this episode.

    Either do the work yourself or hire contractors.

    Put a paying tenant in the newly rehabbed home.

    Refinance the home with a traditional bank loan and pay back the original funding source.

    The end game is positive monthly cash flow from rental income, plus building a long-term wealth through tenants paying off the mortgage.
    Austin has developed some unique and interesting ways to hard money and private money to fund his property purchases.
    The best part – it’s truly a side hustle that can be done in a few hours a week the end result is passive income from rental revenue.
    Tune in to hear how Austin finds killer deals, buys the houses without risking his own capital, and then rehabs them to get ready to rent.

    601: The $100k niche consulting business

    601: The $100k niche consulting business

    When you hear "college admissions essay consultant," you might imagine some dull, overly formal academic type.
    But Carter Osborne from carterosbornetutoring.com took a pretty unconventional path to dominating this niche business.
    When he started providing tutoring services on the side, he was just a "broke, desperate graduate student" in need of some extra money.
    Carter actually had no formal business training. His background was in political science and public administration—so not exactly the traditional entrepreneurial breeding grounds.
    Not exactly the traditional path for an entrepreneur, right?
    And yet, the untraditional route Carter took allowed him to build a unique $100k consulting business, with almost all the revenue coming in just half the year.
    While Carter's career path didn't seem logical as a tutor, he was about to discover an untapped market niche that was waiting to be explored.

    600: $500k from a $9 membership

    Liz Wilcox found herself at a crossroads.
    With a growing email list of beginners wanting to learn about email marketing, she knew she wanted to find a way to step away from client work within a couple of years.
    She had just signed a huge copywriting contract worth $20,000... her biggest one yet. But instead of excitement, all she felt was dread about the massive project she now had to take on.
    And as a single parent, she knew the importance of creating a business that would support her lifestyle and allow her to be present for her family.
    This is where the idea of "low cost = low responsibility" appealed to her, as it would allow her to serve her audience at LizWilcox.com while maintaining a manageable workload.
    So Liz had the idea to create her flagship offer The Email Marketing Membership - a set of done-for-you email newsletter templates that members could access for just $9 per month.
    Tune in to Episode 600 of the Side Hustle Show to learn:

    How to come up with ideas for your own recurring revenue membership

    How Liz built her own email list and audience

    How to improve retention and continue delivering value to members

Life-Changing

Nick Loper’s show changed my life. Not only is it super entertaining, informative, and addictive…but I actually changed my career from it! I found Nick’s show and binged it over the Winter of 2021. Whether it was Print on Demand, Children’s Books, Laundromats, Government Contracts, or online Entrepreneurship - I couldn’t stop! Eventually Nick’s show drove me into course creation and online memberships, which is where I’ve shifted my career. It’s been a long journey but I couldn’t be happier that I stumbled into this gem all those years ago. Forever a fan!

Crazy Salaries

Good podcast. Just wish he would find people to come on who aren’t making 6-figures with their side hustle. Usually a sign someone went all in on their side hustle. I just want a couple of interviews where someone picked up a side hustle making them some extra money each year. Like 15-30k extra. Some people just want a side hustle to supplement their low paying jobs. Would love to hear more of these.

Really Really Really Rich ,

Nick is Amazing!

This show is one of the BEST for side hustle and business information! Full of resources and inspiration. Thanks Nick for all of the hard work you do to bring these insights to your community.
