  • One of my absolutely favorite pods!

    Five stars, easily! Side Hustle Nation is hands down one of my favorite podcasts. Nick Loper is a fantastic host. He asks the questions I'm actually wondering about, digs into the real numbers and the how-to, and keeps every conversation focused and easy to follow.

    What really sets this show apart is the guests. Every episode brings a super unique idea I never would have thought of, and they're always practical. These aren't vague success stories. You walk away with real steps you can actually ... more

  • WARNING: MANY grifters as guests

    This podcast and its guests may work on people with limited to no business background, but the stories are obvious grifts to those who do. Example: the “successful” guest claims to have “made $1M” has clearly done so over 10+ years. You can tell by the lack of detail they don’t give. Even if the person is not giving away IP, you are able to tell if someone is making things up vs legitimate.

    Another example: the show called “756: Your 15-Minute a Day Marketing Plan” offers advice “offer them 20... more

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

767: Listeners Share Their Scariest Entrepreneurial Moments
Q: I love the idea of doing rank and rent websites. Like you've had some episodes about that, but something feels weird about doing a Google business profile and setting everything up for full services when I can't provide it immediately. What do you recommend regarding this?
Nick suggests thinking of the business as a marketing service, validating demand before fully launching, and considering a location-and-service website while finding providers to fulfill the work. He cautions against misrepresenting services.
767: Listeners Share Their Scariest Entrepreneurial Moments
Q: As an entrepreneur, how do you protect your mental health? It's a roller coaster. One minute I feel like I can conquer the world, the next it feels like everything is on fire.
Nick recommends focusing on diet, sleep, and exercise or movement as fundamentals that can help restore a steadier mindset, even though they do not solve every problem.
768: Affiliate Marketing on YouTube: The Path to $15k/mo
Q: Is there any language around? Well, here's why you ought to use my link because when you do, you're going to get an offer that's not available anywhere else or something like that.
Wade highlights exclusive affiliate offers when available, but tells viewers they can still visit the product's website directly and use his video for guidance.
768: Affiliate Marketing on YouTube: The Path to $15k/mo
Q: Is there a tool that you like for estimating that search volume?
Wade uses the vidIQ plugin to assess YouTube search volume and competition, and also checks Google search volume with Keyword Surfer because some viewers find his videos through Google.
766: We Found Reddit’s Weirdest Side Hustles
Q: What marketing tactic is working well for you or your students right now?
Alan says word of mouth is effective, especially when businesses explicitly ask customers to refer others and make sharing easy, such as through a prewritten WhatsApp message in course emails.
