For the last couple years, Pei was my favorite cash back app.
After you installed it and linked your cards, you’d earn automatic extra cash back at 100,000 places where you were already spending money.
And this was on top of the credit card rewards you’re already earning! But then it changed significantly for the worse. Read on to see what sucks now and my top Pei app alternatives.
My latest side hustle experiment is as a User Interviews survey respondent.
(I’m up $40 so far, in exchange for about 40 minutes.)
One challenge that most new businesses face is the awareness problem – nobody knows you exist.
To help erase this problem, I’ve invited Dustin Lien from JumpXmarketing.com back on the show.
Dustin first appeared on episode 251 back in 2017. Back then, he was just ramping up JumpX after shutting down his own physical product business.
As a new parent, I’m constantly trying to figure out the best way to educate our little hustler about business, entrepreneurship, and money.
And while he’s a few years away from the proverbial lemonade stand on the sidewalk, let me use that as inspiration for this post.
The beauty of these side hustle ideas is that many don’t require a huge initial investment or even necessarily a highly specialized skill-set. And certainly, not all qualify as “business ideas,” but each has the potential to earn you money in your spare time.
Ever thought about turning your expertise in an everyday subject or topic into an online business?
For Delilah Orpi, her expertise was on taking care of her curly hair — and starting as a side hustle, she turned that into an online business earning around $8k a month at HolisticEnchilada.com.
Delilah has some interesting strategies she used to grow her audience, build her email list, diversify her multiple income streams — all of which can be applied to a topic of your choosing.
With more and more women running successful businesses, the rise of the mompreneur is real!
What makes moms such great entrepreneurs? My guess is it has something to do with years of practicing patience, persistence, multi-tasking, and knowing how to make the most of every spare minute!
There are tons of ways to make money online — the root of all of them comes down to helping people.
Two common ways entrepreneurs help a wide audience is by packaging up their knowledge and experience into an online training course or a membership program/community.
But which model makes the most sense for your business?
To find out, it’s time for another Side Hustle Showdown.
We’ve been on a bit of an audience building kick lately in our conversations with Dickie Bush about Twitter, with Tori Dunlap about TikTok.
Today you’ll meet a long-time listener of the show who built her audience on Facebook.
Chantal Lavergne is the founder of FunSensoryPlay.com, which started as a Facebook page in early 2020 — and that’s important because that’s years after the supposed death of organic Facebook page reach.
Tired of toiling away on social media for lackluster results? Tori Dunlap earned her first 200,000 TikTok followers in just a couple weeks, and has added another 1.4 million since then.
All that attention has helped her turn a healthy 6-figure business into a multi-7-figure operation.
Tori is the founder of HerFirst100k.com and host of the Financial Feminist podcast, where she helps women become more financially confident.
She argues that TikTok is the best social media platform on which to grow a targeted audience right now.
