So on BookTour, people sometimes ask me, hey Chris, what's your side hustle?

And I'm always like, listen, my whole life is side hustles.

That's pretty much all I've done for 20 years, one way or another.

I mean, yes, I have this career as an author, slash pod, daster, slash speaker, etc.

But to me, it all kind of comes down to a collection of side hustles and I don't really

have time for another.

But here's the thing, in making this show, I get inspired all the time and probably

at least once or twice a month, I come across something where I'm like, oh, I want to do

this.

And I even start researching and making notes for about 10 minutes before I come to my

senses and say, like, you know, Chris, you already have a really full plate right now.

You don't need another side hustle.

So as I was working on this episode, I was like, well, look, listeners, you know, here's

an opportunity, listen to this episode and go and beat me to this project because I want

to do it, but I don't have time.

And in this story, a software engineer is dissatisfied with the quality of some public

domain ebooks.

So he goes on to create a portfolio of his own, offering them for sale on Amazon.

The business goes on to earn six figures in passive income, beginning with the blockbuster

hit when he repackages the Anne of Green Gable series and ends up selling 64,000 copies.

Then it replicates this success with the book 12 years of slave.

Now you may wonder, so if this guy is doing so well, why is he telling you his secrets?
