The Side Hustle Show Nick Loper of Side Hustle Nation

Let's talk about 9 rules to scaling up your side hustle.
We've got a lot of episodes on the zero-to-one part of the equation, but now it's time to go from one to two to ten.
Joining me is Justin Williams, a serial entrepreneur who's done it all—from flipping over a hundred houses a year to scaling and selling an online education business.
Now, he's the brains behind millionaireuniversity.com and its accompanying podcast.

Do you have an overwhelming number of photos scattered across your phone or even tucked away in dusty albums in the attic?
Would you hire someone to organize it for you?
I never imagined photo organizing as a side hustle could pay $85/hr per project, nor did I anticipate its high demand.
But Cheryl DiFrank from mymemoryfile.com says she's building a six-figure business in the process.

Are you ready to hand in your two week's notice and become your own boss?
Not so fast.
Quitting your job to pursue your business full-time is a dream for many side hustlers, but there are a few things you should have in place before you make the leap.
When I was working in my corporate gig, I probably stuck around longer than I needed to because I'm a little more risk averse. I was out to dinner with my boss in Eureka, CA ... and it wasn't until my second beer I finally got up the nerve to tell him I was leaving.
Since I'd been thinking about it for at least a year, it felt amazing to get that off my chest. But it wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision or a triumphant flip-off-everyone-in-the-office-and-make-a-dramatic-exit.
It was the result of 3 years of hustling nights and weeks to build my business (the now-defunct footwear comparison shopping site).
Here are the most important questions to answer before you make the leap.

It’s 2019, and we hear from a couple of guys on the Side Hustle Show about their part-time website.
It’s about a year old, and they’re writing these in-depth product reviews and comparison posts, monetizing with affiliate partnerships, and doing around $20k a month. Fantastic results for a fairly new site.
That site was finvsfin.com, and it recently sold just a few months ago for a 7-figure sum.
Co-founder Alex Goldberg is here to catch us up on what’s working today in a volatile SEO landscape and how website owners can still position themselves for success while relying less and less on organic traffic.
Tune in to Episode 617 of the Side Hustle Show to learn:

the traffic source that saved Fin vs Fin during SEO volatility

how to de-risk your business from organic traffic dependence

the basics of ads arbitrage for your niche

how to secure profitable partnerships

We all have a limit to our capacity. For some entrepreneurs and small business owners, that’s a tough pill to swallow.
But when you’re up against that ceiling you've got two options. You can:

Settle in.

Get help.

This episode is about growing your team in such a way that you have some breathing room in your schedule and in your mental bandwidth to do the work that’s required of a business owner.
Even though I’ve been hiring virtual help in my businesses since 2005, I’ve still got a lot to learn! This is something that’s been on my mind this year as I think about where I want my current operations to go and who can help get me there.
To help dive into this topic, I’m excited to welcome John Jonas and Nate Hirsch to the show.
Between them, they’ve got more than 60 virtual team members and have been practicing remote management for more than a decade.
They both run platforms to help you make your first virtual hire as well:

John heads up OnlineJobs.ph, the largest remote job board and resume database for workers in the Philippines.

Nate created FreeeUp.com, a curated freelance marketplace for workers all around the world. He also founded Ecombalance.com, a monthly bookkeeping service for Ecommerce Sellers/agencies, and OutsourceSchool.com where he teaches his hiring processes.

Tune in to hear John and Nate’s take on when it’s time to hire, how to find the best talent for your budget, and some common mistakes to avoid.
