0:14.0 | Hey friends, hey listeners, welcome to SIDISO school. |
0:17.0 | This is a big transition here today throughout the first half of the year. We've been bringing you to a new segment, basically, helping you learn the key steps to a new side hustle in 2025, one step or concept per week, weekend workshop. It includes activities, examples, and more. So we went through days one through 27 of the side hustle book from ID at income in 27 days. So we did an |
0:39.7 | episode for each day looking at the stories and examples, how you might apply this in your life |
0:44.5 | for the second half of the series, which conveniently starts today. We're going to go into more depth |

1:43.6 | In this case, or in his case, his side |
1:46.1 | hobby was aquariums. So one weekend, Max makes a simple website. He writes up some fish tank |
1:52.2 | reviews. He adds Amazon affiliate links, almost as an afterthought, and then completely |
1:57.3 | forgets about it when life gets busy. Three weeks later, he gets this email saying he'd be getting a $200 check in the mail. |
2:04.9 | He first thinks, so this is a spam email, but then a real actual paper check arrives from Amazon, |
