S6E20: What It Takes to Launch a Successful Side Hustle
About this episode
Tommy Griffith has been doing search engine optimization for more than 10 years. He was previously managed SEO at PayPal and Airbnb, and now runs ClickMinded, a digital marketing training platform for marketers and entrepreneurs. Tommy started ClickMinded as a side project while working full-time at Airbnb. He grew it until it started generating more revenue than his annual salary. Two years ago, he quit Airbnb to go full-time on it and ran into a number of problems in trying to grow the business from there.
In this episode, we discuss…
- The sacrifices it takes to make a side gig work
- How to get the first customers for your side gig
- The right time to leave your full-time job to go all-in on your side gig
