What It's About
How a lawyer made his case for selling stock music.
Notes from Chris
Episode 2004
Welcome! It’s WDS weekend over here, but of course the Side Hustle School show rolls on. Today’s episode is part of a new feature we’re doing in 2022 called ‘Your First $1,000.’ As you might surmise from the title, this is all about how someone made their first $1,000. How did they get to that point? Not their first $100,000—that’s cool, but it would probably be a long story. One thing I’ve learned is that once you begin to earn real money, the steps required to go to the next level—whether it’s $1,000 to $2,000, or even to $5,000 or $10,000 are often easier than that first real paycheck. With that in mind, today’s feature comes from Evan Oxhorn. We first featured him back on Episode #175: Lawyer Earns $400/month With Stock Music Side Hustle. He is still going strong and in fact earning a lot more! But what about the first $1,000—how did he make that happen, what did it feel like, and what did he learn? Let’s hear it from Evan. He’s going to include a quick selection of one of his tunes as well! Listen to today's episode to learn more...MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:
