In the early days of the podcast I did a long extended episode about starter platforms. Basically websites, platforms, networks you could go to and sign up for something that is probably not going to make you rich but is going to

bring some instant income or at least you know relatively soon income and I haven't

talked a whole lot about starter platform since then because the whole point of side-of-so school is not about the gig

economy. It's about creating an asset for yourself, like an actual business, you know, even if it's not a capital

B, like large business, something you're doing for yourself as opposed to helping

a startup or one of these companies in the gig economy get rich themselves, right?

But, you know, it's always true that we like to look at the angles. So here I have a question from a listener today. Can you earn a big door dash bonus and then quit? Can you sign up for a company like door Dash or could be some others? In fact, we'll talk

about a few of them here. Chasing after sign-up bonuses can be a good way to boost some earnings.

Definitely not a long-term income source, but once in a while it could be worth it.

So let's just talk about that. Casey from St. Paul, Minnesota is wondering about the viability of

jumping from one platform to another, capitalizing on the bonuses, and then not staying around after that.

Is this a gold mine or a fleeting opportunity or perhaps something else, something in the middle?

Let's talk it out.

A quick action-packed episode here,

starting with a quick word from our sponsor.

Type 1 diabetes can happen at any age.

Are you at risk?

Screen it like you mean it.

Because if just one person in your family has type one,

you're up to 15 times more likely to get it too.

So screen it, like you mean it.

One blood test can like you mean it.
