Bartender Earns Extra Income With “Revenge By Mail” Postcards

What It’s About

Postcards for your enemies, and you know, your frenemies.

[podcast_details]

Words of Wisdom

Kelly had some really great advice: when you find an idea you like—“Don’t say, ‘I wish I’d thought of that!’ Rather, ask yourself, ‘How can I put my own spin on that?’ It can seem like every good business idea is already taken, but learning about existing, profitable side hustles can be the most valuable brainstorming tool.”

Fun Fact

When postcards were first invented, many people saw them as an unacceptable invasion of privacy. Over time, they become much more acceptable—though not usually for the kinds of things that Revenge By Mail features!

Notes from Chris

Episode 563

Kelly M. is a bartender, yoga teacher, and mobile notary in San Diego, California. She’s always had a few different things going on, but until this year she’s never had a side hustle in the form of an online business.

Her new project, Revenge By Mail, came about when she heard about a guy who offers shipments of glitter to someone you don’t like or just want to play a joke on. It was such a simple (and low-cost) product. Kelly thought it was brilliant, but she didn’t think it was something she would pay for as a consumer. She would, however, pay money to harmlessly embarrass her “frenemies.” So she took the glitter idea and made it her own.

The concept of Revenge by Mail isn’t really about taking revenge on someone. It’s more about playing a prank or joke on someone. Kelly used her rudimentary design skills to create a series of fake promotional postcards. They came from made-up companies and congratulated the recipient in an embarrassing way.

For example:

  • —From BargainBrides.com: “Congratulations on your mail-order bride, Jim!”
  • —From the My Little Pony Friendship Club: “Welcome to our newest member!”
  • —From XXL Male Enhancement: “Congratulations, you’ve reached Gold level status. Your package is on the way!”

These are a few of the tamer ones. For her most popular postcard, you’ll have to check out the notes. I’ll just say it congratulates the recipient on being a frequent buyer of a personal product.

These days, she’s bringing in around 10 orders a day at $10 each, making an average of $100 a day. The time commitment is about 10 minutes a day—not a bad wage!

This experiment has got her thinking about what’s next. She’s already working on her second online project, hoping to build more passive income. If you ever need to take Revenge By Mail, or just play a prank on someone, maybe you should order a postcard.

MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:

  • Revenge By Mail: Don’t get mad—get even! Send your frenemies one of Kelly’s quirky and embarassing postcards
  • Reddit | Funny Subreddit: The subreddit that Kelly posted a picture of her postcard in that lead to an increase in traffic and sales

Independent Musician Strikes Chord With Customized Love Ballads

What It’s About

Customized love ballads keep the roof over an independent musician’s head.

[podcast_details]

Words of Wisdom

So, how did Crissi go from writing a mere 2 songs in 2015 to knocking out 12 original songs in less than two weeks?

At the time, she was reading a book called Lean In by Sheryl Sandberg, and in it, she mentions this mantra, “done is better than perfect.” That became a mantra for Crissi as she was writing these songs. She didn’t have the luxury of second-guessing herself—customers had paid for these songs upfront, so if she didn’t deliver, she wasn’t just going to have difficulties making her rent the next month—she’d also potentially leave someone without a gift for their sweetheart. So, she pretty much had to make it work.

Fun Fact

Aside from it being meaningful work that helps keep the roof over her head, this side hustle has had a lot of other really great benefits. She was really just recording all of these songs herself, which was something that she had not done in about a decade and her skills were really out of date. This gave her some additional experience and made it to where she’s a lot more self-sufficient and doesn’t need to hire an engineer every time she wants to demo something. It also has the added bonus of making her more productive!

And it’s made her a lot of new fans too! 9 times out of 10, when someone is requesting a song, it’s from someone she’s never heard from before.

Notes from Chris

Episode 559

It was February 1st of 2016, and Crissi Cochrane was working on her resume. Until the previous year, she had a day job and a steady paycheck while playing music on the side. But after only 9 months of striking out on her own with her music, she was looking at the bottom of her bank account. She had to do something in order to make some extra cash and keep a roof over her head…

When it came down to it, though, she just couldn’t bring herself to send out her resume. She needed extra money but wanted to do something with music. So as many of us so often do, she procrastinated and instead opened up an email from her mom.

Well aware that her daughter’s financial troubles had her singing the blues, she came to Crissi with an idea. With Valentine’s Day coming up, a musician she knew was offering to cover love songs for people to give to their sweethearts as a unique gift.

Crissi thought this idea was interesting, but she had a better one. What if she took the concept one step further and offered to write and record original love songs? The way she saw it, she could charge more and have a better chance at making her rent for the next month.

But how do you get access to the most intimate details of a person’s relationship in order to put together something like this? Why, you put together a questionnaire, of course!

She quickly dove in that night and focused on questions that essentially peeled back the curtain on a relationship. She started out with basic questions asking for their loved one’s name, what they look like, what they love about them the most, etc., but then she went deeper, asking about how it felt when they first met, and what their love language was.

Without skipping a beat, she added her questionnaire to a new page on her existing website under a tab appropriately titled “Songs for Your Sweetheart” (now “Custom Love Songs”) and started accepting orders for $325/song on the 2nd. Her goal: to write 10 original songs for clients by Valentine’s Day.

In all honesty, Crissi had no idea if this would strike a chord with anyone. When she didn’t sell any songs her first day, she was discouraged. But by the 2nd day, word had gotten around. Four days later, she had succeeded in writing and recording 12 original love songs in 11 days… which made it the most productive week of her entire life as a musician!

Two years later, Crissi has composed and recorded over 50 of these customized, commissioned love songs. That’s enough content for 4 albums! It’s also opened up another unexpected source of income for her: weddings. Prior to the project, Crissi had struggled to play weddings because so much of her music was about unrequited love or not family friendly enough for a wedding. And now she doesn’t have to second guess herself—she has a whole book of songs that she can play at the drop of a hat.

Pre-Made Meals Bring In $5,500/Month After Layoff

What It’s About

After cooking for a family member in need, a woman learns to sell “mostly made” meals.

[podcast_details]

Words of Wisdom

Worried about crowdfunding? Here are some fantastic words of wisdom from Jillian:

“Spend at least two months prior to launching your Kickstarter collecting email addresses and leads through social media and other ad campaigns because you’ll have to bring in most of your own backers. In most campaigns, 80% will come from your personal network, so don’t launch until you have collected at least 15x more email leads than backers needed.

For example, if you want to raise $5,000 and anticipate needing 50 backers to meet your goal, collect at least 750 email leads (assume only a fraction of people will covert).”

Fun Fact

The recipe development for Mostly Made took a year, and it was really challenging at times. Jillian even said that for a while, it felt like things weren’t going to make it.

She felt that she needed to become a badass, so she cut off all of her hair. No more girlish French braids or ponytails! She’d had long hair since she was born, so this was sort of impulsive and drastic. She gave her 14″ ponytail to a charity that makes wigs for kids with cancer, and that’s how she justified the haircut: charitable. Jillian just needed to prove to herself that she was capable of taking risks!

Notes from Chris

Episode 555

Two years ago Jillian McGary was working as a digital marketer and affiliate manager. She didn’t enjoy the job so much and was often on the lookout for opportunities to make money elsewhere. Ten years ago, she and her brother launched SnowProfessor.com, a site of learn-to-snowboard videos. While the site received significant traffic and over nine million Youtube views, it never made much money. However, Jillian loved the process and had a yearning to try again.

Fast forward eight years and Jillian was working a day job when her family received some tragic news. Her sister-in-law was diagnosed with breast cancer. The whole family pulled together to do anything they could to help. For Jillian, that meant making the family pre-cooked meals they could reheat whenever they wanted without having to worry about cooking.

Although she was no culinary mastermind—by her own admission—she developed a knack for creating meals that were easy to produce en masse and still delicious after re-heating. She also began exploring the idea of creating her own food brand while still employed…

At the beginning of 2017, she lost her job… and she says it was the best thing that ever happened to her. She decided to take her time and savings of $18,000 and invest it into creating a side hustle, which now, by default, became her full-time gig. She called the business ‘Mostly Made,’ and it would provide pre-packaged meal kits for people to prepare at home. All they’d have to do was add their favorite vegetables.

In February 2018, a year after her Kickstarter campaign ended, Jillian had the first batch of Mostly Made meals delivered to customers.

Just how much success is that? Well, the current revenue generated by Mostly Made is $5500/month. While that may seem like a lot, the profit margins are rather slim so there is a way to go before this becomes a really profitable exercise.

However, Jillian is up for the challenge and, as she never took on a full-time job after losing her last one, she has plenty of time to dedicate to Mostly Made. It’s true that launching a successful food business can be difficult, but it seems Jillian has mostly made it!

Editor Creates Book Club For Bad People

What It’s About

A book club for people who like to read and party!

[podcast_details]

Words of Wisdom

For anyone looking to start a similar side hustle, Abbey’s advice is to focus on your brand first. Get clear on what your brand is, what you stand for, and who you want to attract. This will help the rest of the pieces fall into place, and ensure you make more informed decisions as you move forward.

Fun Fact

The mixologist reads the book and weaves a similar story through the cocktails based on what she read, saw and felt. For example, she created a “Sisters Whiskey Sour” inspired by the book Homegoing, which she filled with flavors based on the book’s journey through Ghana. Abbey also provides the non-alcoholic ingredients in the box to help people make their cocktail!

Notes from Chris

Episode 553

For content editor Abbey Jones, books have always been important. She loves nothing more than immersing herself in the worlds, ideas, and lives of other people in the books they’ve shared. But, as her career progressed, she found herself reading less and less. Between work commitments, her social life, and the ease of other types of entertainment, reading ended up falling by the wayside.

And Abbey found she wasn’t the only person who felt this way, either. She found herself talking less and less about books with her friends and colleagues who also found it hard to make time to read around their busy lives. It was a part of her life that she missed, and she wanted to find a way to make books a bigger part of people’s lives again.

Abbey realized the younger generation’s biggest problem with reading is that it’s not always considered relevant or exciting. The cool thing to do is to scroll through your news feed or get sucked into a new Netflix series; you’ll find more workplace conversations about the latest season of Stranger Things than the current bestseller.

Trying to reconnect with books, Abbey began to research book clubs and immediately found the same problem. These clubs were almost always targeted at an older generation and focused on books that were (in her opinion) hard to get excited about. None of them felt like they were on the pulse of what was happening in her life.

So Abby resolved to start a book club that was relevant and exciting and had people eagerly awaiting their next read.

She called it the Bad People Book Club. She describes it as, “A book club for people who like to read and party,” and uses vibrant branding to create a feel that goes against the grain of the usual mental images a book club would conjure.

She currently delivers these boxes to 300 subscribers and is making just over $1,000/month. That’s right, Abbey—we see you, you bad!

Marriage Inspires Theatre Captioning App & Service

What It’s About

Husband and wife duo develop delightful, dubbed displays for the deaf and hard of hearing.

[podcast_details]

Words of Wisdom

It’s important to ask yourself how you’re going to make money from a side hustle idea right out of the gate. Otherwise, you get into the all-too-common situation of pursuing something that might create an improvement somewhere but isn’t really going to help you achieve your goal of a new source of income.

Fun Fact

In addition to being a developer and side hustler, Matthew is also in a band called Jump, Little Children—which is also how he met his wife. They took a 10-year hiatus, but they simply couldn’t stay away forever. They’re actually about to release a brand new album and go on tour this year!

Notes from Chris

Episode 543

When he’s not working as a developer, Matthew Bivins has been an actor and musician all his life. While on tour with his band one night in Chicago, his bassist came backstage and couldn’t stop raving about the “hot deaf girl” he had met at the merch booth.

This woman had been deaf since birth and was just beginning to learn American Sign Language in college. One of her assignments for class was to “sign sing,” and she had picked one of Matthew’s band’s songs to perform in front of her classmates. When she discovered that they were going to be playing a gig in Chicago, she figured she’d go.

Looking back, it seems almost like fate that Matthew met his wife for the first time that night, and the two were married a few years later.

As you might imagine, a performer and a deaf woman being married presented some problems when it came to recreational activities. Matthew loved watching theater, but his wife had never really experienced it—mainly because most theaters didn’t offer any sort of accessibility services.

Around mid-2015, Matthew came up with an idea that could revolutionize entertainment experiences for deaf and hard of hearing people: an app that can deliver captions to a person’s phone or tablet in real-time during shows.

Matthew calls this idea “closed captioning,” which is different from “open captioning”—where the captions are available on a big screen for everyone in the audience to see. His closed captioning idea would function a lot like the current caption tablets, but it would be far less expensive for the theater since the captions would go to phones owned by the patrons, rather than tablets that had to be purchased by the theater.

Matthew soon found himself booking 1-2 shows per month through his new side hustle, CaptionPoint, and he’s kept that momentum for a couple years. At first, he just charged $100 per show, but he quickly realized it wasn’t worth his time. Now he has a sliding scale from $350 to $600, depending on the theater size.

So by late 2017, CaptionPoint had become two distinct things. The first is CaptionPoint “The Service,” where Matthew or a contractor goes to shows and provides open captioning to audiences. The second is CaptionPoint “The Product,” which is the closed captioning app Matthew’s been working on this whole time.

In his own words, Matthew’s finally “cracked closed captioning” for theaters and is thrilled to start offering the service this Fall. He sees this app, not the service, as the long-term, scalable solution to captioning. He’s used that same website-based slides application he built a couple years ago to make viewing captions on personal screens a reality. He’s earning up to $1,000/month, but he wants to do more.

With that in mind, Matthew recently brought someone on-board who’s going to help him do real fundraising—this time with some real focus and strategy. With that extra money, he’s going to find more help to refine the app and start promoting the product to theaters nationwide.

Matthew’s excited about the monetary rewards of creating a much-needed product, but he’s very clear that the biggest reward is being able to enable people who are deaf or hard of hearing (and especially his wife) to enjoy theater the way he always has. In reading between the lines, he’s found a project that pays multiple dividends.

Brooklyn App Developer Spins All-Natural Cotton Candy

What It’s About

A sweet side hustle that’s as light as air!

[podcast_details]

Words of Wisdom

One piece of advice that Alisha had for future side hustlers is to master the cold email and follow-up. So many of their successes started with a simple email that they sent to potential collaborators! They made sure to keep their emails short and sweet so that they could convey the value of their business without taking up too much of the other person’s time.

Fun Fact

Who introduced cotton candy to the world? A dentist—Dr. William Morrison of Nashville to be specific. In 1897, he and candy maker John C. Wharton invented a device that melted sugar and blew it through a fine screen to create “Fairy Floss.” He introduced it at the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair and sold 68,000 boxes for 25¢ each ($6.75 in today’s money). Personally, I think it was a ploy to bring in more cavities…

Notes from Chris

Episode 537

Alisha Vimawala isn’t new to the world of side hustling. Not only is she a full-time product manager for Fueled, an app development agency in New York City, but she also has a successful dance-related YouTube Channel and a published children’s book. But her latest hustle is more colorful and flavorful than all the rest.

In late 2015, Alisha was hanging out with her friend and fellow YouTube side hustler, Margaret Taormina, when the two started playing with a toy cotton candy maker Margaret had received for Christmas. It didn’t take long for them to come up with an idea: all-natural cotton candy catering.

The rest of the holiday went by, but neither Alisha nor Margaret could get the idea out of their head. As soon as January slowed down, they started experimenting with flavors.

They began by ordering some sample materials online: pure herbal extracts, plant-based colors, and specialty sugars. It quickly became clear that, while it would be cheaper to use artificial flavoring, using the natural stuff led to a much higher quality product. [Plus, as a bonus, you wouldn’t die when you ate it.]

The cotton candy they made not only had a crisp and clear flavor, but its light and fluffy texture made each taste like taking a bite out of the sky—not sticky or gooey. Just a couple months into this initial R&D phase, Alisha and Margaret had their first four flavors: mint, citrus, lavender, and rose.

And then a call came. A close friend had access to an incredible opportunity: the Juilliard Annual Alumni Benefit. This was it. This was their chance to test their flavors, see if demand was really there, and get their name out there for the first time.

Alisha and Margaret are looking at opening up their own storefront for Not Your Average Cotton in New York City. They’re using a service called “PopShop” to find short-term pop-up opportunities while they look for investors. Despite the several equipment upgrades, event and regulatory fees, and all those all-natural ingredients, Not Your Average Cotton is profitable and debt-free. Let’s not sugarcoat it: starting a modern-day food product that plays on nostalgia is hardly taking candy from a baby, but the sweet reward is worth it.

IT Guy Earns Extra $50,000/Year Restoring Vintage Radios

What It’s About

Gorgeous vintage radios find their second wind!

[podcast_details]

Words of Wisdom

With the resurging interest in the phonograph, Allen figured using analog radio or Bluetooth to play MP3/MP4 made sense. He figured out a way to add Bluetooth to make these radios play modern music formats MP3, MP4, Bluetooth or Wifi. For many people, these old radios are just shelf art unless they can listen to their music on iTunes, iPhone, or iPad.

Offering this option opens up his market to a whole new niche of vintage enthusiasts!

Fun Fact

Often for Allen, the satisfaction is in the thrill of the hunt. He remembers one collector who had so many of these old radios in his garage that they were even propping up the falling structure and lying around in piles in his yard! Another collector had so many radios in his attic that there wasn’t enough room for anyone to walk around. He ended up dropping them out of the attic windows while Allen caught them in his driveway below!

Notes from Chris

Episode 535

For IT Professional Allen Chiang, it was a trip to the flea market in 2012 that gave him the inspiration for his side hustle. Despite not being a regular at the flea market, Allen found himself enjoying a leisurely stroll through the stalls looking at the items on offer. He’d been selling random stuff on eBay on the side for years and was hoping he might stumble across something else he could sell.

On one of the tables, he happened across two original, 1950s radios. They looked a little worse for wear and weren’t functional. But they were bright, colorful, and bursting with nostalgia.

If he could restore them, he thought, he might be able to sell them online. For $15 per radio, it wasn’t a massive investment, and he figured he could put his electrical engineering degree to good use trying to fix them.

Allen spent the next few days researching the radios. He looked for answers in blog posts and asked questions in forums, like antiqueradios.com, about anything he couldn’t find a solution to.

Much of the technology in older radios isn’t used today, and there was a steep learning curve. But Allen enjoyed the labor of love, and still to this day says he’d be refurbishing radios even if nobody bought them. Fortunately, that’s not our story—Side Hustle School isn’t about hobbies, it’s about making money!

When he completed work on the first two radios, he listed them on eBay. He looked at the prices of other similar radios that had sold, and he priced his similarly. Much to his delight, the radios sold within a few days, one for $50 and one for $200 to a buyer in the UK. That’s when Allen realized he had a business on his hands, and he decided to look to grow it.

The first step was to find more radios because just like your grandparents told you, radios do not grow on trees. To do this Allen began attending regular flea markets and garage sales, but quickly found this to be too time intensive. He has a 50-60 hour work week and a young family, so he needed to be more efficient in how he spent his time.

So he decided to buy them online, then resell them online on his website, Retro Radio Farm.

Since starting the business, Allen estimates that he’s bought, sold and repaired more than 1,000 radios and $50,000 a year from his side hustle for five to ten hours work a week. He takes 50% of that as his earnings and invests the other 50% back into the business to help it grow.. He’s currently exploring options to sell his radios in a standalone physical store. He also wants to incorporate new technology such as voice activation with these old style radios. Clearly, he’s on the right frequency… tune in to his broadcast to see how it goes!

  • Retro Radio Farm: Check out all of the radios in Allen’s well cared for collection over on his website!
  • Shopify: Allen used Shopify to set up his store for Retro Radio Farm, and they’re offering a 21-day trial and exclusive discount for all Side Hustle School listeners!

Quote of the Day
"Each radio repair and restoration project is different and each has a hidden story to tell. When I fix a radio, and it plays again, I feel like I’ve solved a puzzle. And it’s fitting, like from a Stephen King story, when a 50’s song is the first thing that plays after decades of silence."

Curated Gift Boxes for Breakups and Baby Bumps

What It’s About

Two sisters team up to create a gift box service for millennials!

[podcast_details]

Words of Wisdom

Happy Box Store is centered on two retail trends: customization and convenience. Gifting has become a 130 billion dollar industry in the U.S., so there is no shortage of need in the marketplace. But that also means that customers are looking for a unique and custom solution. Nobody wants to give their friend something they already have, so they’re looking for something that is unexpected. That unexpected something also needs free shipping. For convenience’ sake!

Fun Fact

The postal service has an interesting delivery history, like the time a baby was put in the mail. Apparently it was legal to mail a baby by the U.S. postal service until 1915. In 1914, to save money on a train ticket, May Pierstorff’s parents paid the 53 cents postage to mail their 5-year old child to her grandparents for a visit. She rode the whole way in the mail car and was delivered to her grandparents’ house by the mail clerk on duty. That puts a new spin on ‘going postal.’

Notes from Chris

Episode 531

They say that when one door closes, another door opens. That tends to be the case for many things in life, including side hustles. In this particular story, the closing door was Ariel Redmond’s breakup. The opening door? All the inspiration needed for a new side hustle to blossom.

Hannah Redmond wanted to be there for her sister, Ariel, during her break up, but they were separated by distance. You see, at the time, both 20-somethings were away for college (Ariel in NYC, and Hannah in Maryland), and since Hannah lived too far away to be there, armed with pints of ice cream and boxes of tissue in person, she had to settle for the next best thing. Hannah ran all over the city to find fun little things to send to Ariel to cheer her up. Kind of like an adult care package… because not all heroes wear capes.

Halfway through her adventures in curating, with a full box of goodies ready to mail to Ariel, Hannah felt like there had to be a better way to do this. She couldn’t be the only caring friend or sister who wanted to make a tough week a little less hard. Curating a box of goodies was fun, but running around to get everything? Much less so. And Hannah hadn’t even been to the post office yet. She knew that it would be worth it when Ariel opened the box, but Hannah still wished she cut out, or at least minimize the legwork.

There had to be a better way. And if there wasn’t, Hannah decided that she would certainly make it happen herself.

Luckily, she didn’t have to go it alone. Ariel loved her care package, and Hannah’s idea, so much that when the side hustle concept was floated she jumped at the chance. Happy Box Store was the happy result.

The idea was simple yet innovative. Hannah and Ariel wanted to create the modern day gift basket that would suit any occasion in a millennial life. Each box is both personalized and convenient, which ticks some very important boxes.

The customer picks their box, which cover every life event from the Breakup, Cheer Up, Birthday, and Housewarming boxes, fill their chosen box with fun gifts, and selects a card to send along with it. Then, Hannah and Ariel pack up the box, includes a handwritten note from the customer, and ships it to the lucky recipient.

Happy Box is centered on two retail trends: customization and convenience. Gifting has become a 130 billion dollar industry in the U.S., so there is no shortage of need in the marketplace. But that also means that customers are looking for a unique and custom solution. Nobody wants to give their friend something they already have, so they’re looking for something that is unexpected. That unexpected something also needs free shipping. For convenience’ sake, of course.

Hannah and Ariel invested a combined $5000 of their savings into Happy Box so they could build a website and purchase their first stocks of inventory. Everything they’ve made to date is put directly back into the business to cover additional inventory purchases and help them source even more products to include in the next boxes.

Their investment has really paid off! These days, Hannah and Ariel send out hundreds of customized and curated boxes on a monthly basis, and at $40-60 a pop, those numbers really start to add up. And the customer testimonials are equally rewarding. Ariel told us that each testimonial makes them “feel like what we’re doing truly has a well-deserved space and purpose. Balancing our work lives and side hustle lives can be challenging with demanding jobs, but each happy customer makes it worth it.”

While they continually learn how to scale their side hustle, they’re also focused on making site improvements, choosing new products to offer, and they’re even testing out corporate gifts as well. Whatever happens next, it’s sure to pack a punch!

MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:

  • Happy Box Store: No matter the occasion, Hannah and Ariel have what you need—check out the boxes and products that they offer over on their website!
  • Shopify: Hannah and Ariel used Shopify to set up their store for Happy Box, and they’re offering a 21-day trial and exclusive discount for all Side Hustle School listeners!

Car Crash Leads To Pain Relief Side Hustle

What It’s About

An innovative service that connects physical therapists and people with busy schedules.

[podcast_details]

Words of Wisdom

Paging Patch has used lots of content and email marketing to help grow their following. And they’ve been featured on many industry websites like Shape and Huffington Post Health. These have been short excerpts and quotes that link back to their website. You can achieve similar results in your side hustle by using Help-A-Reporter-Out (HARO), where you can provide quotes and insights for journalists.

Fun Fact

Physical therapy is proven to be one of the most effective, least invasive, and least costly ways to get care for pain and injury. Yet only 10% of people suffering actually use physical therapy as a care option.

Notes from Chris

Episode 503

Rachel Sanders’ life was changed forever by a car crash. The accident happened while she was a full-time business school student, and afterward, she was left with persistent neck and back pain. During the months following her injury, she visited what felt like hundreds of doctors to try and cure the pain. But the diagnosis was always the same—it was chronic.

The only relief she found was through acupuncture and physical therapy. The sessions she undertook helped relieve many of the symptoms and made her studies much more bearable.

But, like so many students, Rachel’s schedule was pretty busy. There were essays to write, classes to attend, and events to host—leaving little time to spend on self-care. Most of the clinics she needed to visit for her treatment were only open when she was working or in class, and it was hard to get appointments for after-hours care.

Rachel began to look for solutions. Instead of going to the therapist, she’d bring the therapist to her. And she began to book appointments, at a time that suited her, in the comfort of her own home.

This piqued her entrepreneurial interest. Rachel realized that there is no shortage of busy people who struggle to find the time for self-care around their work!

She saw this as a business opportunity and a way to help people she could empathize with. She’d learned a lot in her studies about how much people love convenience. Meanwhile, health care was still an inconvenient industry, despite the amount of money people pay in insurance over the course of their lives.

This led to an idea that Rachel called Paging Patch. She wanted to connect people with injuries or medical problems to physical therapists who would travel to them. The name came from the idea of “paging” a doctor, and the way a doctor can “patch” you up.

This allows suffering patients to get personalized care and work with a therapist they can trust. But this system doesn’t just help the patients, it also helps the therapists.

Since its conception on October 2017, Paging Patch has worked with around 60 therapists to treat over 100 patients, and they’ve seen numbers double each month. Some of their therapists have been able to earn $1,000 a month or more by being registered on the platform.

Looking to the future, Rachel wants to grow patch into different areas of the country. They’re currently working in Nashville, Boston, NYC, and Denver and will hopefully be coming to a city near you very soon! If you need to get patched up and want your therapist to come to you, now you know where to go.

MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:

  • Paging Patch: If you need to get patched up but are short on time, check out Rachel’s service over on her website
  • Wix: The online website building platform that Rachel used to set up her website for Paging Patch
  • Help-A-Reporter-Out (HARO): The popular sourcing service that connects journalists and bloggers with relevant expert sources to meet journalists’ demanding deadlines and enable brands to tell their stories

Paintball Enthusiast Builds Epic Field in New Zealand

What It’s About

When the economy takes a hit, this pilot helps residents of his hometown hit back even harder.

[podcast_details]

Words of Wisdom

Having trouble determining which ideas are worth pursuing? Craig says that he has a notebook that he writes down every single quirky idea that comes into his head. He considers this notebook “a never-ending to-do-list.” And if he picks up the book and adds something to an existing entry, that is a flag for him to think “hmmmm, this could work.”

Fun Fact

Borderlandz Paintball even had its own race car. For real. From Craig, “We entered it into national events. We placed 7th out of 96 entries in the championship. We used the car for promo events for the paintball field and friends that had other small businesses added their logos all over the car (We looked so ‘pro’ with all the ‘sponsors’, haha). I later sold the car to finance our motorhome build and the move to Australia. It was fun while it lasted that’s for sure!”

Notes from Chris

Episode 497

Craig Tyer always wanted to fly airplanes, and once he was old enough, he trained to be a flying instructor. A dream job, right? Well, it was a dream job in some ways, but it definitely didn’t come with a dream paycheck. At least in Craig’s native New Zealand, teaching junior pilots was not a high-paying career.

Naturally, he needed a side hustle. And it helped that he had some history with them, beginning with his first at age nine.

Years later, while going through flight training, he played a lot of paintball on the weekends. Part of it was fun, and part of it was to stay fit. After all, there’s a lot of sitting involved in flying! He was living in Christchurch, New Zealand and the tourist industry took a nose dive after a massive, 6.3 earthquake. A number of paintball fields went out of business.

Determined to keep the beloved pastime in his city, Craig decided to save every penny he could from teaching kids to fly to start his own paintball facility. How much does a paintball facility cost? In Christchurch, NZ, apparently it costs around $8,000. He began by buying 10 paintball packs from his contacts in Christchurch, gearing up for 8-10 people to play, costing around $5,000. He also traveled around the country (by plane?), touring different paintball facilities, noting likes and dislikes. From there, he designed his dream field. He started locally sourcing old tires, wooden pallets and started building forts and barricades. He said it was just like he was a kid again despite being on the verge of turning 30.

Craig had all the elements for a good field, but what he really needed was a place to build his dream paintball field. He leased a back paddock off his Grandfather, one that bordered the neighbor’s property. Hence ‘Borderlandz Paintball‘ became Christchurch’s newest up and coming paintball field.

Last year, they grossed $35,000. Prior to that in 2016, they sat at around $30,000. The game bookings are very seasonal since they make 90% of that income between Late November – Early January. Their biggest weekend to date brought in net income of more than $5,000 and 30,000+ paintballs! But during the rest of the year it’s around $1,500 in profits per month.

If you’d like your own paintball field…

Opening a paintball playground has some unique needs when it comes to insurance. Craig recommends having Public Liability Insurance because of the nature of paintball. They also have a waiver the customer signs and two referees in each game. Not to mention they always have a First Aid certified staff member on call.

Craig recommends that you don’t cater to the ‘hardcore crowd’. It’s the Birthday parties and bachelor parties that make up 90% of the income.

Both Craig and Vicky—who he brought on to help run things—still have their full-time jobs alongside running Borderlandz. Vicky still works for the electrical company in New Zealand, while helping to manage the family business locally. Craig has been able to live out a couple of his dreams; continuing his passion for aviation and—in the rest of his spare time—building a custom adventure van, and traveling with his partner and their pet ferret… as one does after crafting the perfect paintball field.
