What It’s About If you’re not driving your car all the time, should you put it up on Turo? Notes from Chris Episode 3090 These days, you don’t need to own a whole fleet of rental cars to make money in the car-sharing space. Platforms like Turo allow regular people to rent out their personal vehicles, turning an everyday expense into a potential income stream. But how easy is it really? Can you actually make a decent profit, or do the costs—wear and tear, insurance, unexpected repairs—outweigh the earnings? That’s exactly what Jordan from Atlanta wants to know. Jordan is considering listing his car on Turo but is unsure if it’s worth the effort, especially since he only has one vehicle. He’s wondering how much money he can realistically make, what the hidden risks are, and whether this is a smart side hustle or more trouble than it’s worth. Let’s dive into the numbers, the risks, and the best strategies to make car-sharing work as a profitable side hustle. Whether you’ve thought about renting your car or just want to know how this business model plays out in real life, this episode will help you decide if it’s a worthwhile opportunity—or just another gig that sounds good on paper but falls apart in practice. “I’ve been looking into the idea of renting out my car as a side hustle, using platforms like Turo. It seems like a great way to make passive income, but I have some concerns. How profitable is it really with just one vehicle? What kind of risks should I be aware of, and how do I make sure I’m actually making money instead of just covering wear and tear? I’d love to hear your take on whether this is a smart side hustle or if I should look for something else.” Listen to today’s episode to learn more… SEE ALSO: Catholic Designer Creates Stylish Apparel Line : What shall it profit a man to gain the whole world but not sell any t-shirts?

What It’s About Pole grips and other hiking gear, made directly from a home 3D printer. Notes from Chris Episode 3089 Today’s episode is part of a feature we call ‘Your First $1,000.’ As you might surmise from the title, this is all about how someone made their first $1,000. How did they get to that point? Not their first $100,000—that’s cool, but it would probably be a long story. But what about their first $1,000—how did they make that happen, what did it feel like, and what did they learn? Let’s hear today’s story. I’ll be back at the end to wrap us up.

What It’s About Is it best to go straight to a paid model? Notes from Chris Episode 3087 Giving something away for free can be a great way to build trust and attract customers—but when does it actually help, and when is it just a waste of time? That’s the question Jake from Minneapolis is wrestling with. He’s developing a productivity course for freelancers and is wondering whether launching a free mini-course will help grow his audience—or if he’s just delaying revenue. Let’s break down when a free course works as a sales tool, when it backfires, and what to consider before offering one. “Hey Chris, this is Jake from Minneapolis. I’m in the process of creating an online course about productivity for freelancers, and I’ve been debating whether to launch a free mini-course first to attract an audience. I see a lot of people doing this, but I’m not sure if it actually leads to more sales or just attracts people who never intend to buy anything. Would offering a free course help me build trust and generate more customers, or am I just giving away value without getting anything in return?” Listen to today’s episode to learn more… SEE ALSO: Catholic Designer Creates Stylish Apparel Line : What shall it profit a man to gain the whole world but not sell any t-shirts?

What It’s About This Facebook group has been a public service—should the owner charge for access? Notes from Chris Episode 3086 Running an online community is exciting, but at some point, it can start to feel like a full-time job—without the paycheck. That’s the challenge Danielle from Raleigh is facing. She started a Facebook group about sustainable fashion that’s grown to 15,000 members, and now she’s wondering if there’s a way to monetize it without hurting the sense of community. Let’s talk about when—and how—to introduce revenue streams in a way that adds value rather than turning people away. “Hey Chris, this is Danielle from Raleigh. A few years ago, I started a Facebook group for people interested in sustainable fashion. It started as a fun side project, but it’s grown to over 15,000 members, and managing it takes a lot of my time. I love the community, but I’m starting to wonder if I should be making money from it—especially since other businesses are benefiting by promoting their products in the group. I don’t want to ruin the vibe or drive people away, but is there a way to monetize the group that feels natural and fair?” Listen to today’s episode to learn more… SEE ALSO: Catholic Designer Creates Stylish Apparel Line : What shall it profit a man to gain the whole world but not sell any t-shirts?

What It’s About Should every business introduce a premium offer? Notes from Chris Episode 3083 Raising your prices can be scary, but what about launching a high-ticket offer—something significantly more expensive than your current services? That’s what Amanda from Denver is considering. She runs a branding and web design business and wants to introduce a premium offer, but she’s worried that it might scare off her existing audience. Let’s talk about whether high-ticket offers make sense, how to position them, and what to consider before making the leap. “I run a branding and web design business that primarily serves small businesses and solo entrepreneurs. My services are mid-priced—typically in the $2,000 to $5,000 range—but I’ve been considering introducing a high-ticket offer, like a premium VIP experience or an all-inclusive branding package for $15,000 or more. My concern is that it might scare off my existing audience, who are used to my current pricing. Is it worth testing a high-ticket offer, and if so, how do I position it in a way that doesn’t alienate my current customers?” Listen to today’s episode to learn more… SEE ALSO: Catholic Designer Creates Stylish Apparel Line : What shall it profit a man to gain the whole world but not sell any t-shirts?
