In episode 35 of The Side Hustle Show, I learn how Daniel DiPiazza from Rich20Something.com went from earning $18 an hour to $1000 an hour using his “Marsupial Method” for side hustle businesses.
It sounds hype-y, but it happened. Pretty crazy stuff, with parallels you can takeaway and apply to your own biz.
We also talk about the super-simple-and-obvious-but-almost-never-implemented way to score new freelance clients and find out why teaching what you know is the perfect side hustle. (The classroom-style leverage is what generated the massive hourly rate hike!)

Check out the conversation, I think you’ll like it. Let me know what you think about the “Marsupial Method” in the comments below. Here’s Daniel explaining it in his own words:
Good stuff!
Just want to make money at something I like
Excellent video and idea, Daniel. Actually, I believe I could do something similar in local High Schools. I am 100% fluent in Spanish (speak, read and write proficiently / Spanish is my native language) and although I’ve never taught it officially, I’ve been an educator on a variety of other fields. How would you approach a High School if you had this set of skills? What kind of materials or credentials could I use to prove that I know “my stuff”? I’ll appreciate your input!
Sounds good, but what methods are u using to contact these business owners?
