How Side Hustle Nation Earns $420K/Year

I often share articles and interviews from the website Side Hustle Nation.

Nick Loper runs the show there and does a great job researching and interviewing people about their money-making side hustles 🤑

Nick shared in a recent interview that SHN earns $420,000 per year via a few different income streams…

• Affiliate relationships
• Brand sponsorships
• Products and services

But the first way he monetized his website and podcast back in 2014 was via paid mastermind groups…

This was 7-8 months into writing the blog and hosting the podcast, and I probably had around 700 people on the email list at that time. I created the 3-month Side Hustle Nation Inner Circle mastermind, priced at $99/mo. In the end, I got 6-7 applications and ended up running the groups for the next couple of years.

Here’s how Nick explains the appeal of his podcast in the beginning…

Something about the approachable, curious, tactical side hustle focus resonated with listeners.

I love that. Just goes to show: you don’t need to be an expert to create and share content that people enjoy, and ultimately build a successful business out of it.

Nick didn’t have direct experience with all the side hustles he talked or wrote about, but via good research and expert interviews, he was able to provide a ton of value.
