Episode 841
THEMES & TAKEAWAYS: We’ve just finished week 16 of Season III! This week, we featured a cake artist, bike tours in Amsterdam, a NYC dog-walker, and a guitar enthusiast earning $7,000/month in affiliate commissions. In this action-packed recap: a reminder about the only two things you can do to increase income in an existing side hustle or small business, and I’ll bring you an audio update from a previously featured side hustler—she has a report of a fantastic income increase, and she’s going to give you some contrarian advice. But first! For this week only, my publisher is offering the e-book version of SIDE HUSTLE: From Idea to Income in 27 Days for just $1.99 on several popular e-reading formats, including Amazon Kindle, Nook, Kobo, and more.
WHERE ARE THEY NOW: Today, we have an update from Heather McConochie who was featured on the show in Ep. 308. Listen to the Weekly Recap to hear from Heather! You can also check out Heather's website, The Positive Thread.
