What if the pile of laundry sitting in your spare room was actually a business idea in disguise?
That’s more or less how Susan Toft tells it. She was a new mom with a full-time corporate job, staring at a mountain of unfolded clothes and thinking: someone should offer this as a service.
So she decided to be that someone.
Susan is the founder of LaundryLady.com, Australia’s number one mobile laundry service. She started solo in 2012, doing pickups in her van with her toddler in the backseat.
Thirteen years later, she’s running a $12 million business with 450+ contractors across Australia, a presence in New Zealand, a new launch in Canada, and expansion into the UK on the way.
Along the way, she landed a $1 million investment on Shark Tank Australia.
Tune in to Episode 725 of the Side Hustle Show to learn:
how Susan validated her idea using a personal pain point and turned it into a scalable service
what the contractor model looks like and how much laundry ladies and lads actually earn
how Shark Tank changed her business trajectory and what she did with the exposure

What does it actually take to build a $250,000 a year independent income stream, and how long will it really take you to get there?
Adriana Tica is a self-described reluctant entrepreneur who now runs two digital marketing and copywriting agencies, works as a strategic marketing consultant, and publishes the Strategic AF newsletter.
She put hard data behind questions most solopreneurs quietly wonder about with her research report, the State of Solopreneurship.
We talked about what the report actually found — from how long it takes to hit six figures, to why email still beats everything else, to the lead magnet and newsletter growth tactics working best right now.

the most common revenue path for 6-figure solopreneurs

Billboards are timeless.
And they remain a successful advertising strategy even with the rise of digital technology.
With that said, you probably never imagined that a solopreneur could rake in $30,000 a month from it (part-time!).
But that’s exactly what Chris Brown from Signs of Good and wantmore.org has done for the past decade.
Chris retired early at the age of 42 and now owns approximately 30 billboards around Bentonville, Arkansas.
Tune in to Ep 608 of The Side Hustle Show to learn:
how to find billboards for sale
find places where you could put one
how to fill that ad space

What if you could unlock 5-10x more money from Amazon than you're currently earning?
The Amazon Influencer Program has changed quite a bit over the last couple of years.
What worked before, namely the strategy of uploading a bunch of product review videos and hoping they generate commissions, has started to produce diminishing returns.
But there's a new strategy that is giving creators a way forward, and it's called Creator Connections.
Jared Bauman from 201creative.com and host of the Niche Pursuits podcast is back on the show.
He's earning around $3,000 a month from the Amazon Influencer Program, and most of that income is now coming from this new approach rather than the old method of just making videos and putting them on product pages.
Listen to Episode 723 of the Side Hustle Show to learn:
how Creator Connections is changing the Amazon Influencer Program
how to pitch brands and get free products sent to you for review
how to choose high-selling products and create review videos that actually convert

What if the million dollar business you're looking for is literally in your own backyard?
William Milliken went from zero to 350 recurring customers in his first three months in business, starting a pet waste removal company as a side project. Last year, his business racked up over $3 million in revenue, all from the not-so-glamorous service of cleaning up dog poop.
And if that wasn't enough, William turned his knowledge into another side hustle, teaching others through swoopscoop.com and the Poop Scoop Millionaire community. That's turned into another almost million dollar a year business.

What if you could create $1,000 to $2,000 per month in cash flow from a single property and need just three homes to replace your W-2 income?
Sam Wegert discovered this path 14 years ago when he started house hacking a single property.
Today, he owns over 200 rooms across his co-living portfolio, all passively managed while he lives overseas.
Co-living is when you buy a larger house and rent out individual rooms instead of the entire property.
It's the difference between earning $250 a month from a traditional single-family rental and $1,000 to $2,000 from the same-sized property set up for co-living.
From the Scale Your Co-Living Real Estate podcast and ScaleYourRealEstate.com, Sam Wegert shares how he turned a simple house hack into a six-figure business addressing affordable housing from the ground up.
(Join his Free 5-Day Co-Living Challenge to learn how to develop the mindset that will take you to success as a CoLiving investor!)

Are you willing to fail?
Let that be your new mantra. It's the only way to get up the courage to get started.
That's the rule Brian Scudamore -- the founder and CEO of 1-800-GOT-JUNK -- lives by.
What started with a $1000 investment (Brian's life's savings at the time) has turned into a home services empire that does $1 million in sales on any given day.
Brian's come a long way since that beat-up pickup truck going door-to-door that first summer.
His portfolio now includes house painting, moving services, and home detailing--all under the umbrella of Ordinary 2 Exceptional Brands.

What if you could turn every mailbox in your neighborhood into a $1,000 payday?
That’s exactly what Rachel and Dalton from Big Sky Automation have been doing with Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) postcards.
Here’s the idea: the Postal Service lets you deliver a postcard to every home on a mail route for about $0.25 apiece.
You can use that to advertise your own business — or you can do what Rachel and Dalton do and sell that exposure to other local businesses.
By stacking multiple advertisers onto a single oversized postcard, they spread out the cost, create an affordable local advertising product, and keep the difference as profit.
They’ve mailed 20 postcards in about seven months, so this isn’t a one-off experiment. In this episode, they break down exactly how the model works — and why it keeps businesses coming back.

This side hustle model has a lower failure rate than most independent startups. You get to follow a proven playbook for success. But is it the right path for you?
Today we're exploring the strategy of franchises as a side hustle, buying into somebody else's brand and system instead of starting completely from scratch.
Done right, today's guest says it can replace your income in 2 to 3 years on a part-time basis.

The new year is upon us and with it comes a certain level of optimism and maybe even obligation to make some changes, set some meaningful goals, and aim for some big wins.
But it's no secret that most New Year's resolutions fail and a lot of goals lose steam after just a few weeks. To help make sure that doesn't happen to you, I've recruited my good friend and master goal planner Tom Sylvester to join us today.
He's a serial entrepreneur, real estate investor, author of the book Lifestyle Builders, and head business coach at 2x.co. Tom set a goal to retire by 35, later retired young, and now helps six and seven-figure business owners scale up without burning out.

The end of the year is upon us, which means it's time to reflect back on the side hustles that stood out — the ones that got people talking, the ones I was most excited to share, the ones that made me think, "Dang, I need to drop what I'm doing and go try that."
Now the mark of a good episode, for me, is when I hang up the call thinking exactly that.
And I try to exercise some level of discipline because the shiny object syndrome is real, but when the shiny object shines for me, I know it's going to be a hit episode.
So I've selected my top 10 for the year, presented in chronological order. If you're new to the show, I've included episode numbers so you can check out the ones you're interested in.
And if you're a long-time listener, see if your favorites made the list.

What if you could make $900 in a single day buying and reselling lawnmowers?
Dave Wilson, also known as @MoneyCoachDave, made over $50,000 flipping lawnmowers while in college. The side hustle helped him graduate debt-free and taught him valuable skills in buying, fixing, and reselling equipment.
It's a buy low, sell high model that works whether you're flipping lawnmowers, cars, or other equipment. And it's a skill that can recession-proof your income.

What if you could get personalized side hustle ideas that actually fit your life instead of scrolling through another generic listicle?
That's exactly what we're tackling in this special crossover episode with Allison Baggerly from the Inspired Budget Podcast.
After 650+ interviews on the Side Hustle Show, I noticed something interesting: almost nobody finds their winning side hustle idea by Googling "ways to make extra money" and picking number 17 from some random blog post.
The ideas that stick are the ones that connect your skills, interests, and available time with real problems people will pay you to solve.
So I created a free ChatGPT prompt generator that asks you the right questions and spits out personalized side hustle ideas tailored specifically to you.
And Allison volunteered to be our test pilot.

Reselling software gives you many of the benefits of a software business, without the upfront development cost.
That means you can enjoy recurring revenue, selling one product to multiple customers, and strong profit margins by white labeling a software tool that already exists.
These benefits are what attract many people to starting a SaaS, or software as a service, but you may not need to go through the trouble.
After all, there may already be a tool that solves the same problem. Could you become a software reseller instead of a software creator?
To help me learn more about reselling software (also known as white labeling), I connected with Chris Lollini.
Chris is a self-described “recovering engineer” who started a marketing agency as a side hustle 9 years ago. That agency evolved into a multi-6-figure white labeling operation called Reputation Igniter.
The business helps other small businesses earn more positive reviews for their work.
And while Chris definitely invested the time in growing his network and roster of monthly customers, it now takes him just 5-10 hours a week to run.
Tune in to The Side Hustle Show interview to hear:
how Chris got the idea to start white labeling SaaS products
how he identified his customer’s pain points and provided a SaaS solution
the methods he uses to add value and create healthy profit margins
Big thanks to my brother Chris for the intro!

In general, there are many sources that help people learn about traffic monetization, different ad formats, and in my case, articles like https://adsterra.com/blog/what-is-popunder-ads/ are the most helpful, and I'm glad that specialists in that field share important info on that quite often.
