Description

What if you could build a six-figure business in under 2 years — with zero technical skills and almost no marketing budget?


Tanya van Gastel did exactly that with Multiverse.ai, an AI-powered headshot generator that turned selfies into professional photos.


She started with just $9 per sale, scaled to $29, drove over $350,000 in revenue, and sold the business — all while working with two co-founders and learning marketing from scratch.


In this episode, Tanya pulls back the curtain on how she found customers, grew through SEO and affiliates, pivoted to corporate clients, and ultimately prepared the business for acquisition.


Listen to Episode 701 of the Side Hustle Show to learn:



  • How to enter a crowded market and still win

  • Low-cost marketing tactics that actually scale

  • The real difference between SEO and "GEO" (generative engine optimization)

  • How to position a business for sale even without recurring revenue
