764: 17 Surprising Businesses That Can Make Millions
What do hermit crab food, glitter bombs, and dog sunglasses have in common? They're all real businesses making real money by solving weird, specific problems nobody else wanted to touch. Steve Chou, from My Wife Quit Her Job, is back for his fifth appearance on the show, dating back to 2015. He's the author of The Family First Entrepreneur, and he built two successful side hustles before leaving his day job. This episode continues the business idea donation series Steve and I have done a few times before, the kind where we just brain-dump a bunch of fascinating, often ridiculous business ideas we've stumbled across.

762: Buy Buttons, 10 Years Later
What if the hardest part of your business isn't building the thing, but finding someone to buy it? Ten years ago, I wrote a book called Buy Buttons. The premise: instead of building a store or website and hoping somebody finds it, go set up shop where the traffic already is, where buyers are already buying. The book covered over 300 platforms and marketplaces across niches. A decade later, I wanted to revisit the idea. Are those platforms tapped out? What new ones have shown up? And does the same principle work offline? This episode is a tour through the legacy platforms that are still thriving, the newer marketplaces that could be the next big wave, and a few examples of entrepreneurs applying the same strategy in the physical world. Tune in to Episode 762 of the Side Hustle Show to learn: which "legacy" buy buttons platforms from 2016 are still worth building on today newer marketplaces like Whatnot, Outschool, and Teachers Pay Teachers that didn't exist (or weren't obvious) a decade ago how to apply the buy buttons strategy offline, from mobile coffee carts to vending machines Full Show Notes: Buy Buttons, 10 Years Later New to the Show?

What if you could skip the hardest part of starting a business, the zero-to-one grind, and just buy your way into cash flow instead? Joe Burrell runs Just Website Brokerage, where he's helped broker over 300 sales totaling more than $7 million in lifetime value.

759: Zero to $20k/mo with the Amazon Influencer Program
What if the easiest money you ever made online came from filming your own bathroom, your neighbor's Legos, or a handwashing station at a farmer's market? Nate Jackson from Hustle Buddies(opens in new tab) is back on the show to talk about the Amazon Influencer Program(opens in new tab), a way to earn commissions by uploading short product review videos that show up on Amazon listings. Nate spent years focused on Amazon FBA(opens in new tab) before finally trying the Influencer Program, and even though people told him it was too late and too saturated, he decided to test it for himself. In just 10 months, Nate went from a brand-new account to 3,000 videos, building the kind of volume-based system that's helped him and people he coaches earn serious money without fancy equipment or hours of editing. This is Nate's second appearance on the show, following up on his earlier episode about Amazon FBA(opens in new tab). Tune in to Episode 759 of the Side Hustle Show to learn: how to get approved for the Amazon Influencer Program even with almost no social following Nate's volume-based filming strategy and where to find hundreds of products to review without leaving your neighborhood how Creator Connections campaigns can boost your commission from around 2% up to 50% (Want to learn Nate's system?

758: From Zero to $120k/mo in 18 Months
Can you build a six-figure e-commerce business selling products you don't even use yourself? Let's find out. 18 months ago, today's guest was working a day job in digital marketing(opens in new tab), feeling like he was always building somebody else's business. Sound familiar? He decided to change that by launching an e-commerce store, and now he's doing over £120,000 in monthly sales. Phil McEleney from Camper Nation(opens in new tab) followed the traditional path of good grades, a good university, and a solid corporate job. But hitting 30 in a middle management role got him thinking about the next 30 or 40 years of his life, chained to an office and a commute. That's when he decided to build something of his own, one that could become a real, sellable asset. He landed on camper van and motorhome accessories in the UK market, not because he's a "van lifer" himself, but because the data pointed him there. Within 18 months of dropshipping high-ticket products(opens in new tab), he took the business to £40,000 a month while still working his day job, and has since grown it well beyond that. Tune in to Episode 758 of the Side Hustle Show to learn: how to pick a high-ticket e-commerce niche using search volume and competitor data how to get approved as an authorized reseller without any sales history how a 3-tiered Google Shopping ad strategy targets buyers who are ready to purchase Full Show Notes: From Zero to $120k/mo in 18 Months New to the Show?
