$225k a Year Salesforce Consultant

Check this interview with Brad Rice, who earned $225,000 last year working only 18 hours per week as a Salesforce consultant 💰

(Salesforce is big fancy CRM software used by 85% of Fortune 100 companies.)

According to Brad, with only a few months of learning Salesforce part-time and becoming certified, earning $60,000 a year is very doable right out of the gate.

Side Hustle Nation calls this the “SWAS” strategy: Software with a Service. You learn the ins and outs of a popular software product, then get paid to help companies make the most of that software.

The cool thing about Salesforce in particular is that there seems to be a severe shortage of qualified consultants, so there’s lots of opportunity there if you’re willing to study up for a couple of months.

Alternatively, if you’re already familiar with some other popular software, you could hang out your shingle for that right away. For example, I see several Airtable freelancers charging $100-200 per hour on Upwork 🤑
