665: The Path to $1k/mo with Mini Digital Products
Cody Berman is no stranger to selling digital products.
He’s known in the side hustle world as the "printable guy" and co-founder of Gold City Ventures, but when Internet skeptics told him the Etsy market was "too saturated now" compared to when he started in 2018, Cody accepted the challenge.
And proved them wrong.
From zero to $1,000/month in 116 days with a brand-new Etsy shop, with no followers, no email list, and no marketing. Just skill and data-driven decisions.

664: The $1 Product Challenge
I can almost guarantee you've heard the phrase the "money is in the list."
And all the experts, myself included, extol the virtues of building your email list, right? Because it's the platform that you own and control.
But the question is, are you building an email list of buyers?  Subscribers are great, but you're not buying groceries on subscribers alone.
Pete Boyle is the founder of growthmodels.co and he  has a unique list-building and business-building strategy that throws free lead magnets out the window in favor of low-priced products, starting at just $1, and has seen some exciting results, including $4,000 in just 10 days.
Tune in to Episode 664 of the Side Hustle Show to learn:
how a $1 product can turn cold leads into paying customers (without ads)
why low-ticket offers convert better than free lead magnets
how to stack simple offers into a $250+ funnel that leads to high-ticket sales
(Start your own $1 product experiment at growthmodels.co/dollar.)

663: Bank Bonuses: How I Make $200/Hr Opening New Bank Accounts
I’m not usually one to fall for those flashy, too-good-to-be-true money hacks.
But when someone tells me they’re making $200 an hour in their underwear just opening bank accounts? You bet I’m curious.
That someone is Dylan Sexton from dylansbonuses.com, and he’s been pulling in consistent weekly income by playing the bank bonus game.
No shady stuff. No switching your entire financial life around. Just a super smart (and surprisingly low-effort) system that banks actually want you to take advantage of.

how Dylan makes $200 an hour opening bank accounts
where to find the best bonus deals right now
the simple system he uses to track and scale it

662: From Zero to $50k/mo in Vending Revenue in 16 months
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.
That’s 30+ locations, thousands of transactions, and a strategy that turns vending into something way beyond the old-school snack machine in the corner of a breakroom.
Tune in to Episode 662 of the Side Hustle Show to learn:
how to land prime locations
how to negotiate deals
why he never says the word "vending" when pitching a property manager
