Words of Wisdom

Parker was able to greatly increase his rates (and break out of the low-priced, generic service market) once he learned to specialize. Don’t be a jack-of-all-trades: choosing a speciality will almost always be a more profitable choice.

Fun Fact

Parker has enjoyed the extra income his side hustle has provided, but his favorite part of the hustle is the variety of people he’s been able to connect with. On any given day, he could be recording for a Chevy dealership in Taiwan or a rave music DJ in Eastern Europe. To learn more about Parker and his hustle, visit his page on Fiverr!
