647: How to Start an Online Directory as a Side Hustle
Why should your first online business be a directory? This is one of the most overlooked yet potentially lucrative side hustles out there.
I've got a little bit of experience in this space (I actually built a virtual assistant directory years before), so this is something close to me.
But my experience is nothing like John Rush’s from JohnRush.me, who is a master at quickly building and marketing these little side projects.
He has launched 30 directories in just the past year, managed to monetize 10 of them, and even sold one (AllGPTs.co) for a sweet five-figure exit.
(If you want more resources, check out John’s full Directory Guide or his no-code builder at Unicorn Platform.)

Side Hustle Showdown: Buying a Business vs. Investing in Real Estate (Greatest Hits)
If you’re looking to add some time-leveraged cash flow to your bottom line, two of the best options are investing in rental real estate and buying small businesses.
Both are viable options, and to help you figure out if either or both of these investment options are right for you, it’s time for another Side Hustle Showdown.
For the debate, I’ve invited back two Side Hustle Show favorites:
Chad Carson is the owner of over 100+ properties and the author of Retire Early with Real Estate.
Codie Sanchez is the owner of several so-called “boring” small businesses, including a laundromat and a podcast production service.
(In Chad's first appearance, we covered several low-cost real estate side hustles. With Codie, we explored how to grow and monetize an email newsletter.)
Tune in the week to learn:
what kind of portfolios Chad and Codie have built up
how you can get started buying real estate and small businesses
some of the creative financing options available
the mistakes they made along the way
and more
