| 0:00.0 | Hello, my name is Devon. I am a mom of four. I live in Utah and I currently make about $4,000 a month playing video games. |
| 0:07.8 | What's up? What's up, Nick? Oh, Loper here. Welcome to the Science Hustle Show because building extra income streams is empowering. |
| 0:14.5 | One thing that just about every Science Hustle Show guest has in common is that they have a website, an online home base. |
| 0:20.9 | But if words like hosting DNS settings, SSL certificates, XML sitemaps, and remote backups make your brain hurt, |
| 0:29.4 | you need to know about our new sponsor, WP Harbor. This is your outsourced IT department for all things website related. |
| 0:36.8 | They handle your hosting, your maintenance, your security, your updates, so you can go ahead and focus on running your business. |
| 0:42.9 | Plus, WP Harbor customers enjoy free access to over $1,000 in premium WordPress plugins. |
| 0:49.1 | Check it out for yourself at WPHarbor.com and use promo code SideHustle to get 50% off your first month. |

| 1:37.3 | And so I offer different video game classes and kids can enroll in my classes and they get to come and play video games with me. |
| 1:45.2 | I help them with maybe levels that they're having a hard time with or solving puzzles in different video games. |
| 1:51.2 | And I get paid to play with them. Wow, that's so cool. I'm very inspiring. |
