What It's About
The spell-selling side hustle: real opportunity or internet illusion?
Notes from Chris
Episode 3153
Some side hustles sound too strange to be real—but the internet never disappoints.p> Today’s question comes from Naomi in Portland, who stumbled across a fascinating article about Etsy sellers making big money offering love spells, hex removals, and other digital magic services. Some of these listings were raking in tens of thousands before Etsy cracked down.p> Naomi wants to know: is there a real business opportunity here, or is this just another quirky online fad that vanishes when platforms tighten the rules?" I recently read this wild article about people selling spells—like literal love spells or hex removals—on Etsy. Some of these listings were apparently making big money until Etsy delisted them, probably because they violate the platform’s policies. It got me curious: is there actually a market for digital spellwork or magic services online? Could someone start a side hustle doing this on Etsy or TikTok, or is it just one of those strange internet fads that gets shut down as soon as it gains traction? I’d love to hear your take."Listen to today's episode to learn more...
