The Genuinely Interested Podcast Ep 67 - Nick Loper - How To Grow Your Side Hustle
Nick is the founder of the very popular Side Hustle Nation. He started this site because he was sick and tired of someone else telling him how & where he should spend his time. So he started Sidehustlenation.com and never looked back. Nowadays he is one of the most popular figures in the additional income/side hustle genre, providing podcasts, blog posts, and real insights/advice to people who want to earn extra money and grow their businesses.
Nick is constantly hustling and always looking for ways to diversify his income streams - while teaching and helping his community of listeners do the same. Earlier this year Nick was kind enough to add a segment on a blog post I wrote where he beautifully details how, as a podcaster, one climbs the listener pyramid.
Nick and I discussed:
- How to see through fake "gurus"
- His most lucrative side hustle
- His early days in the shoe business
- How to start a side hustle
- Coming to terms with the fact that you may suck in the beginning
- How to stand out in a competitive landscape
- How to create trust/loyalty with your consumers
- How to transform problems into opportunities
And much more...
My Take: We all want financial freedom, the goal is to make money while you sleep. What you don't want is for your time to be proportionate to your income. You want to be able to go on vacation, take time off, etc - and still have a steady income coming in. Side hustles are one way to ensure this. The internet has made it easier than ever to create a business, automate, streamline it, and add additional income streams.
