Episode 2747
Welcome to another episode of Side Hustle School, where we dive into creative and practical ways to earn extra income without giving up your day job. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to expand your current side hustle, this show is here to inspire and guide you. Today’s question is particularly intriguing and comes from a listener who has a knack for negotiating incredible deals on subscription services. If you’ve ever wondered how you could turn your unique skills into a profitable side hustle, this episode is for you!

"Hey Chris, it’s Jeffrey calling in from Duluth, Minnesota. I’ve discovered a way to save 50% or more on popular subscription services like streaming platforms, software tools, and all kinds of other things. By using live chat and negotiation tactics, I've been able to secure incredible deals and discounts for myself. Now, I'm thinking about turning this skill into a side hustle by offering a service where I negotiate these savings on behalf of others and take a percentage of the money saved as my fee. Do you think this is a viable business idea? How can I structure my service offerings and pricing to make it attractive to potential clients while still being profitable for me?"
