LISTENER QUESTIONS:

Today we have a listener voicemail from Janine:
  • Janine has been listening to the show for a while now and has been getting a lot of ideas for a side hustle of her own. Her question—what are my thoughts on network marketing as a side hustle? She's been doing this for about three years with a company that she used to love, but she's not having much success.If you're interested in network marketing and have been wondering about this yourself, listen to the weekly recap!
If you have something you'd like to ask me or an update you'd like to share, I'd love to hear from you. Leave me a voice message on the website or call into the Side Hustle Hotline (Dial 844-9-HUSTLE // 844-948-7853), and your question may be featured on the show!

Each week I'll feature more stories from people who are starting side hustles without quitting their job. Here's a sneak peek of what's coming next week:

  • A school teacher earns an extra $1,000 a month placing pink flamingos in neighbors’ yards. Yes, really!
  • The next time you need a Swarovski-covered crystal bikini for a fitness competition (or just a walk to Starbucks), this engineer has got you covered. Strike a pose!
  • And so much more!
