Summary

In this week’s First $1,000 segment, four course creators feared ripping their content out of their current system. One weekend migration specialist moved every video and quiz to Kajabi—pocketing a paycheck while their students never missed a lecture.

Side Hustle School features a new episode EVERY DAY, featuring detailed case studies of people who earn extra money without quitting their job. This year, the show includes free guided lessons and listener Q&A several days each week.
