    Profitable (and very odd) side hustle but not sure how to scale it….

    SCALING 
    I agree. I’m not sure it’s scalable in its current form. I could set up a business that teaches other people how to do this or something but not really interested in doing that. I could try going higher end and do corporate parties or higher end birthdays, etc but I’d have to do some...

    Profitable (and very odd) side hustle but not sure how to scale it….

    SCALING 
    I charge $30 for a group. Max of 4 people in a group. Realistically you can do two - three groups an hour (three if you get them to schedule an appointment and you don’t have to wait for people). After operating cost, and paying someone else to do it, plus having to find people who have the...

    Profitable (and very odd) side hustle but not sure how to scale it….

    SCALING 
    Little something I started a couple weeks before Halloween and it got VERY good reactions. I dressed up as a “mystical shaman” and wore one of those hooded robes, and a plain white mask. Then sent up a cool black “gothic/occulat” style tent. I then used a cool “mystical” accent along with...

    Average Redditor starts a business. Guess what happens?

    MINDSET 
    Granted this was back in 2008 but… Buddy and I started a cleaning and yard work business and had three clients within 24 hours. We sat in his couch thinking of business ideas when we decided we would just clean stuff for money. Three hours later we had flyers printed up, a very bad website...

    AI Is Changing Everything—Does Digital Marketing Still Have a Future?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    As AI closes the knowledge and skill gap in digital marketing, companies will be looking for a way to stand out against its competitors who also use AI. Can you solve that problem? I also suspect we will see a resurgence of offline marketing again.

    So… lawfare sucks. Turns out when you try to take down the D2D industry they don’t go out easy. Lawsuits bankrupted me. Back to square one.

    EXECUTION 
    So I figured out a couple things. I don’t know why none of the ads on Facebook or Reddit or working, but I found that on indeed every one of my job post is on like page 6 or seven I seriously doubt most people is looking that far. In fact, I know they aren’t because if I look at the analytics...

    Cool idea but no this is nothing close to that. Commission door to door sales has made a huge comeback in recent years. Between solar, fiber internet, and roofing the entire commission only industry is growing year over year.

    Most d2d guys I’ve talked to about this thinks it’s a genius idea but they hate it because it makes them irrelevant. Also don’t think it’s good for my brand to have dudes wearing “ABC Roofing” or “XYZ Solar” logo shirts to be pitching for a company that stops solictors. Don’t think it’s good...

    Spent 7 hours straight working on recruiting today. How the hell do these companies find employees? Lol Had one applicant on indeed who’s a 19yo dog walker who said she didn’t mean to hit apply. Posted on 12 different side hustle, work from home, sales Facebook groups, and four Reddit...

    EXECUTION 
    So been trying to figure this out for a couple hours and I believe that I'm just going to have to resort to direct out reach. Find the social media profiles of people whom I believe would be a good match and just directly message them. Slower and higher effort but seems like the only workable...

    Found a ton of groups on Facebook for finding and connecting with influencers and affiliates. Problem is, these groups are 99.9% worthless spam and scams. I seriously doubt any serious people are there but I posted my offer there anyways. I looked into the big sites that connects verified...

    So the business I started is one that helps homeowners protect their peace and privacy by putting a stop to door to door sales solicitors. People love the idea. Here is the thing... I'm on a shoestring budget. My initial idea was to find affiliates and have an entire "army" of affiliates...

    Update: Got to the point where I was getting 7 - 10 sales a day pretty easy as the company I was selling for. But I just quit. I got to the point where I was one of the top guys in the office but when I started seeing being the scenes I realised that what I was selling was NOT helping...

    Sound like you should both outline exactly what each of you brings to the table and exactly what each of you will be doing (your roles). Then see what split makes sense

    Doing very well thank you! Working for a different company and doing 3 - 6 sales a day. Also still working on my business. Had a few unfortunate setbacks but that’s to be expected. I like what Taylor teaches but his “infield videos” of him selling are often dumb. I don’t know if he’s just...
