How do you turn a "junk land" — a seemingly worthless piece of land — into a profitable investment?

We’ve talked about flipping products for a profit or real estate investing before. We’ve even talked about land investing.

But never like this.

Wayne Seminoff from JunkLandIntoGold.com [https://www.junklandintogold.com/] specializes in finding unloved, unbuildable lots — then he fixes the issues — before reselling these new and improved lots for up to 10x his initial investment.

Tune in to Episode 629 of The Side Hustle Show to learn:

 * how Wayne flips junk land into profitable property
 * how to clear title issues and solve access problems
 * how to turn unbuildable lots into valuable assets

Creation, connection, and contribution are the 3 C's I believe everyone needs to live a happy healthy productive life, whether that life contains a side hustle or not.

In this episode I share the audio from my TEDx talk, which breaks down the 3 C's and why they're so important.

Want to scale back on your day job?

Want to travel more, and spend more time with your family?

That’s exactly what Stacy Gallego has been able to do thanks to her part-time flipping business.

What’s cool is that this income stream was actually inspired by a former side hustle show guest, Rob “the flea market flipper” Stephenson, who we last heard from in episode 298 [https://www.sidehustlenation.com/flea-market-flipper/].

Stacy is one of Rob’s star students, and I’ve loved watching her share some of her sales results for quite a while.

In just two years, Stacy has gone from flipping her first item to hitting $10,000 in sales in a month.

The ability to find profit in your hometown is one I think is really valuable in recession-proofing your own income [https://www.sidehustlenation.com/recession-proof-businesses/]. If that appeals to you, I encourage to you check out Rob and his wife Melissa’s free training [https://sidehustlenation.com/fmf] to learn more.

And if you're ready to enroll in Flipper University [https://www.sidehustlenation.com/flipperu], use promo code FLIP100 for $100 off either course option.

Tune in to hear:

 * how Stacy sources profitable inventory
 * how she deals with the logistics of shipping huge items
 * which items/categories are selling best
 * her advice for new flippers to start making money

This episode is all about making use of the Piggyback Principle — why it's easier to fill demand than to create it from scratch.

Just like how kids would rather get a piggyback ride than walk because it's easier.

The same is true in business — this strategy allows you to ride the wave of success software products are experiencing to catch that rising tide and get better, faster results with less work.

To help illustrate this, I brought on Kristi DaSilva from DaSilvaLife.com.

DaSilva Life helps small businesses build success by setting up and integrating two popular software tools, HoneyBook and ClickUp, into their workflow and operations.

This earns her thousands of dollars per project along the way.

625: Getting Paid to Rent Out Other People’s Stuff

One question I get all the time is, "What are the most profitable side hustles?"

Well, there are a couple ways to look at profitability. First, there's profit margin — how much of every dollar actually flows to your bottom line after expenses.

Then there's raw profit – like Walmart making $10-15 billion a year, but on $500-600 billion in sales. Low margins, but HUGE volume.

But in this post, we're gonna focus mostly on higher-margin, lean operation side hustles.

Let's dive in!

623: Active vs. Passive Income

One of the best ways to come up with business ideas is to start by solving your own problems.

That's exactly how today's guest started his dispatching business.

What started as a way to keep his trucks busy turned into a service business that serves other trucking companies.

Roman was able to turn dispatching into a scalable process and now can work from wherever he wants.

Find out how Roman created this niche-specific specialized service and scaled it with a team of virtual assistants.

One challenge that most new businesses face is the awareness problem – nobody knows you exist.

To help erase this problem, I’ve invited Dustin Lien from JumpXmarketing.com [https://www.linkedin.com/in/dustinlien] back on the show.

Dustin first appeared on episode 251 [https://www.sidehustlenation.com/when-a-side-hustle-fails/] back in 2017. Back then, he was just ramping up JumpX after shutting down his own physical product business.

Since then he’s grown it into a 6-figure operation and built it in such a way that it only requires part-time attention.

What’s been his key driver?

Partner workshops, essentially virtual lunch-and-learn sessions where he can showcase his expertise and build his client roster without ads or bidding for work.

This works in just about any niche and in this episode, Dustin breaks down his exact process so you can go out and apply it in your own business.

Tune in to The Side Hustle Show interview to learn:

 * Dustin’s fast-track strategy to getting in front of the right audience
 * how he quickly built his email list
 * his top tips for creating warm outreach emails and connecting with customers
