Q&A: How to monetize a year of 40 side hustles?

Notes from Chris

Episode 1828

Happy New Year! We are off to the races in another year. I’m eager to get underway and bring you lots of stories from interesting people.

I’m also working on some stuff myself, including an online course that I’ve been preparing for three months without mentioning. I’ll say more about that soon—it’s very different from everything I do for Side Hustle School.

For today: we’ve got a listener with a cool project of trying to monetize a year of side hustles. Conveniently, he started preparing for this during the holidays so that he’s ready to go now.

Does it need to be narrowed a bit? Perhaps, but let’s consider. Also, what is the monetizable path to this sort of project. It’s interesting because presumably a collection of moneymaking projects makes money by nature—but what’s the value of the collection itself, as well as the shared journey?

"Hi, this is Brett from Illinois, and I've been listening to the show for three months now. I recently came across a blog post that listed numerous side hustles you could try, such as 100 Side Hustles to try or 63 side hustles for 2021. It got me thinking, I wonder how many of these side hustles the authors have actually tried. Then the idea hit me in twenty twenty two, I'm going to try 40 side hustle. My goal is to make at least $1,000 per side hustle. I know this sounds pretty ambitious, but I have a pretty solid list and plan of how to accomplish this.

My first question I have is, have you ever heard of someone trying something like this before? I've done some research and have not seen any documented attempts of something like this done in the past. My second question is how do I monetize this process? My guess would be to start some sort of social media blog or YouTube following. But what do you think would be some of the best ways to monetize this process? I'm about to go through. How do I turn my pursuit of 40 side hustle into a side hustle of its own?"
