This tech company grew 32,481%...

No, it's not Nvidia... It's Mode Mobile, 2023’s fastest-growing software company according to Deloitte.

Just as Uber turned vehicles into income-generating assets, Mode is turning smartphones into an easy passive income source, already helping 45M+ users earn $325M+ through simple, everyday use.

They’ve just been granted their stock ticker by the Nasdaq, and you can still invest in their pre-IPO offering at just $0.26/share.

Turning Trash Into Cash: How I’ll Make $1K From Secondhand Scores

Okay, the most common question or comment I see online for Sidehustlers is "I need to make $1000 by the end of the month, what should I do?" 

I give folks the same advice every. single. time…

• Go on OfferUp, FB Marketplace, etc

• Search “Free” “Moving” or “Divorce”

• Find items (small furniture, office stuff, etc) at huge discount (or free)

• Clean/touch up item, take high quality photos, add witty caption (thanks ChatGPT)

• Repost for actual value

That’s it! But they don’t listen. So by April 29th (the next 4 emails to you) you’ll see exactly how I’ll do this. I’ll breakdown my costs, screenshot my posts and show my revenue.

By the end of this mini series, you’ll be a certified side hustler that can ALWAYS have a source of income no matter your job or timeline.

How I’ll do this

Find the goods:

• I’ll go on second hand apps; OfferUp, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace.

• Apply filters: <10mi, Free, “Furniture”, “Outdoor Furniture”, “Office”, New or Open box

• Inquire about availability and condition

Here are some that are available to me RIGHT NOW

I should easily be able to make $50-$100 selling these alone!

Initial Expenses:

As you can see these are pretty much free… But overall I won’t spend more than $100 on this endeavor (gas included).

Total Initial Investment: Approximately $100

Building to $1,000 this Month

It’s easier for me to work backwards… So I’ll have to make ~$250 a week to get to my goal.

If I find on average $50 profit for every item, I’ll have to do about 5 items a week, with a goal of 3-4 on the weekends and 1-2 on week days (working man).

Next week, I’ll report back on how this is going - pros, cons and everything in between!

(As usual each business will have it’s own setbacks, and it’s all about the execution and consistency rather than just having the idea)

It’s a great day to be great!

Love, Mike 👋
