The Side Hustle Show

Anthony and Jhanilka Hartzog erased $114k of debt in 23 months. The side hustling couple were making good money at their day jobs, but realized there's only so much you can cut from your budget. That's when they turned to the income side of the equation and started a ton of different side hustles. They picked up second jobs at their gym, rented out their car on Turo, dogsitted, and -- inspired by my episode with Chris Schwab, they started a residential cleaning business called Maids2Match.com. Today, that business is doing $20-25k in sales a month, with other people doing the cleaning. Anthony and Jhanilka are fully in business-owner mode, dedicating just a few hours a week to it. You can follow along with their journey on Instagram @thehartrimony.

With Mother's Day coming up, I wanted to share some of the best advice and lessons I got from mom growing up. Most of the time, this was pretty literal advice, but I found a lot of it has a broader application to entrepreneurship. Mom has always been probably my biggest advocate and supporter. For background, she essentially had a couple different careers, first in nursing and then as a library assistant. (At the library, she actually helped me get one of my first jobs in high school.) Lots of wisdom I hope to be able to pass along to our little ones! And if you like this format, be sure to check out the companion list/episode on dad's advice!

The Piggyback Principle is a business idea framework that looks at popular market trends or “ecosystems” and seeks ways to support or supplement those trends. It's a faster way to start a business because you can capitalize on what's already hot with an additional or complementary product or service. Basically, your side hustle can ride piggyback on a larger business or trend. You could even say that my now-retired shoe-business was a piggyback business on the e-commerce trend and the comparison shopping trend. It's a concept I first wrote about 10 years ago, but at that time, I took a pretty narrow view by just talking about marketplace trends. At that time, it was things like the rise of WordPress, or the popularity of the Paleo diet. Now, I've broken this principle into three stages: Idea generation Startup creation Marketing/growth And to make this practical, I'm bringing in real-world examples from fellow entrepreneurs who've used this approach to build real businesses. Here are the new and updated trends for the Piggyback Principle in 2025. Full Show Notes: The Piggyback Principle: The “Lazy” Way to Build a Successful Side Hustle New to the Show?

Josh Belk is a full-time college student, he works full-time in web design, and in what little spare time, he's started a $6,000 a month mobile detailing business with his younger brother. This idea came about when Josh connected the dots between obsession and opportunity. On the obsession side, Josh would always see his brother out in the driveway cleaning his car. On the opportunity side, he received an email about business ideas anyone could start, and mobile car washing was one of them. He asked his brother if he wanted to team up to see if they could make some money cleaning cars — and with that, Belk Mobile Detailing was born.

Cody Berman is no stranger to selling digital products.

Vending machines are a classic passive income source that continues to be profitable today. We had Mr. Passive himself, Mike Hoffman, on the show before to talk about how to scale up his vending machine business. And one of his mentees is here today. Anthony Kolodziej from H&H Vending scaled his vending operation from zero to over $50k per month in just 16 months.

I called the Amazon Influencer Program the easiest money I'd ever made online. I made $100 in my first month, over $1200 in my first year, and last year, still made over $700 doing almost nothing. Set it and forget it. The basic premise with this branch of Amazon Associates is to create short product review videos, and earn a small commission when your review convinces someone to buy. You do need some level of social following and engagement to get accepted, but after that, you really don't need to drive your own traffic. Amazon posts your review videos on the relevant product pages. In this episode, we check in with Tyler Christensen from TylerChristensen.com — a serial side hustler, teacher, and dad of four who's lately been earning around $5k a month on the side from his product reviews.

Why go through the trouble of building your own cash flow when, with a little determination and a little hustle, you can insert yourself into some income streams that are already happening? That's what Link Moser from linkmoser.com and his web design agency windhill.com have done, not once, not twice, but 5 different times, generating $200k a year in semi-passive income. He was on the show in 2022, where he explained how he makes money with a real estate lead generation site, NHFineHomes.com, where a single referral can be worth tens of thousands of dollars.

Service businesses can get a bad rap. After all, there are clients to deal with, and actual labor involved in fulfillment. They're just not as glamorous as other more “passive” income models. But you should know that more Side Hustle Show guests started with a service-based business model than any other. This week's guest has a unique approach to service businesses -- one that doesn't rely on your skills as the expert. Tyler Gillespie has built two successful service businesses and had a clean exit from both -- the last being just 13 months from startup to sale.

It's 2025, and the line between reality and science fiction is getting more and more blurry every day. In this episode, I sit down with someone I've never met, but they know me pretty well. He even kind of sounds like me in an eerie sort of way. I was curious how well today's AI models could pretend to be someone else, given a few simple prompts. The result is this chat with Robo-Nick, my AI alter ego. Let's see how well Robo-Nick answers these questions, plus my real thoughts about them.

I want to introduce a concept I call The Side Hustle Snowball. If you've heard about Dave Ramsey's “Debt Snowball” framework, this may sound familiar. Here's how The Side Hustle Snowball works: You itemize out your expenses and then aim to come up with side hustle income to cover them, starting with the smallest and working your way up. Once you reach the bottom of your list, you don't need your job anymore! The reason I like this framework is setting out to replace your income with a side business can be a daunting task. The Snowball approach breaks it down into mini-victories and lets you celebrate your progress along the way. And just like a real snowball, it picks up steam, size, and momentum as it gets rolling. Let's look at some real-life examples of how you can make extra money. What follows are some of my actual monthly expenses*, and how we mentally zero them out with job-free income.

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 and that I was most excited to share. "Best" is always subjective. But what marks a good episode is when I hang up the call, thinking, "I need to drop what I'm doing and go do something else. I should totally do that." And I try and exercise some level of discipline and restraint 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 here are the top 10 side hustles for 2024.

Why should your first online business be a directory? This is one of the most overlooked yet potentially lucrative side hustles out there. I've got a little bit of experience in this space (I actually built a virtual assistant directory years before), so this is something close to me. But my experience is nothing like John Rush's from JohnRush.me, who is a master at quickly building and marketing these little side projects. He has launched 30 directories in just the past year, managed to monetize 10 of them, and even sold one (AllGPTs.co) for a sweet five-figure exit.

How do you make extra money in a low-risk way? And one method I keep coming back to is the idea of starting a consignment business. So you're selling other people's stuff and just taking a percentage. They get paid, you get paid, and you've got no upfront inventory risk like you'd have with a traditional physical product business. Sarah McAffry of Statemint Consignment earned over $10,000 from her first consignment event and has continued to grow from there. She has been crushing it in this space for the last 10 years, and it has now expanded to 23 locations across the country.
