His Side Hustle Did $10k in Its First Two Days

Via Trends.co…

Dr. Kendrick Scott was a triple threat — an ex-college football player with multiple degrees, teaching business strategy full-time as a university professor, and consulting on the side with major brands.

Most would have stopped there. But Scott recently launched another side hustle, InfoAthlete, that coaches student athletes in their journey of “getting to, and through, college,” and transitioning into careers.

Apparently the business pulled in “$10k in its first two days, $20k in its first week, and $40k+ in its first month.” 🤑

And the good doctor did it without any ad spend or a big social media following.

It seems he mainly found leads for his coaching business by posting about it on his personal Facebook profile.

A post he published last May went like this…

Hello everyone I am doing interviews for my athletic coaching and consulting business If you are a parent or know someone who is trying to get exposure for their athlete to get to the next level. HMU. I want to interview you or them to understand what their needs are. I had no offers after my senior year walking across stage…within 2.5 months we had 9 full ride offers. Post here or inbox me.

I’m guessing many of those interviewees eventually became coaching clients.

A key takeaway from Dr. Scott…

Don’t underestimate the value of your personal network, or chase outside traffic before tapping connections you already have. Not only is your inner circle a great way to find those early clients, it’s also a great way to learn what value your customers think you offer.
