What It's About
A listener wants to use stock software for their hustle idea. Where can they find it?
Notes from Chris
Episode 1339
Today’s listener is looking for a template to make a website that has some specific functionality—in her case, a combination of Craigslist and Airbnb. Where can you find something like this (or something similar for another purpose)? Longtime listeners know that I am careful about saying anything is easy. Especially when it comes to programming or doing something technical that will require longtime support. However, in this case there actually might be an easy way! This also reminds me that I need to be careful about skipping steps, so maybe that’s a lesson for someone else as well."Hi, Chris. This is Audris from Los Angeles, California, and I've been listening to your podcast for several years now. I've been thinking about starting a side hustle, but my main roadblock is setting up a Web site with functionality for listening rooms, for rent, writing reviews and possibly exchanging payment. Think of it as a hybrid between Craigslist and Airbnb, an episode from anyone you showcase, a different Chris who scour the web looking for a premade piece of software that he could simply purchase As-Is for his side hustle, which was similar to work. You said that you can find a lot of these different sites that allow you to pay to create a clone of an existing sites functions using your own branding. I was wondering, what specifically are these softwares that you are referring to? Is there a specific term I should be Googling? I don't have any coding experience and have only dabbled recently in using Wick's to make it a Web site. But I don't think that's what you were referring to. A pointer in the right direction would be super helpful. I look forward to hearing your response. Thanks, Chris. We're sharing inspiring and motivational stories daily."Listen to today's episode to learn more...
