The Life Changing Effect of a Side Hustle
Let me introduce you to someone called Lester. He is a member of my private discord group after joining in July 2021.
He also has my guides about flipping stuff on Amazon. In fact, he got his first sale on Amazon on July 21st last year after getting them:
Now, that first sale is pretty meaningless when you look at it as an isolated event.
$31? The tiny profit from that sale didn’t even cover his startup costs, I know that for a fact.
That’s not the point though.
It was at this moment that he felt a dopamine rush like he’s never experienced. How do I know?
Because that was me almost a decade ago.
It’s the realization that this might be the key to building a life you’ve only dreamed of unfolding in front of you.
You see, Lester didn’t quit there. He kept going:
In August, he hit his first $1,000 in revenue on Amazon. You’re probably wondering, “How much of that is profit though?”
I have no idea.
However, I know e-commerce and I would bet heavily that his profit margin is somewhere between 15-40%.
My book flipping business makes 30-35%, for reference.
For the sake of this post, I’m going to call his 25%.
That means of that $1,145, he had likely profited around $285 in just three weeks.
Guess what? He kept going:
After three months flipping stuff on Amazon, he hit the $5,000 mark.
His profit? Likely somewhere around $1,250.
That’s an average of over $400/month over that period.
Do you know how helpful an extra $400/month is for a student, minimum-wage employee, or someone in debt?
Not only that, but think about the opportunity that lies ahead to make even more money should that side hustle continue to grow…
And grow it did:
Lester hit $20,400 in revenue in just under five months on Amazon.
His profit was likely somewhere around $5,000 which means an average $1,000/month since he started this journey.
Think about how helpful an extra $1,000/month would be for most people in this world…
Did he stop there? Of course not:
In the short month of February, he hit nearly $50,000 in revenue on Amazon.
His profit over those 28 days was likely somewhere around $12,000…
That means he now has a side hustle that is on pace to make six figures in profit alone for the year of 2022.
I don’t know about you, but that’s not just a side hustle.
This is a full fledged business that will likely out-earn most careers with the potential to continue growing.
All of this happened because:
He came across my content
Got curious
Studied the things I teach
Put in the work
90% of the battle is the last part, putting in the work.
Online businesses like this one can be life changing. I know that because they are the main reason I was able to become self-employed and financially free.
You don’t have to be special to do this, in fact anyone can do it.
You just have to want it bad enough.
