Introducing
SIDE HUSTLE ACADEMY
IN THIS COURSE WE ARE FOCUSING ON:
ZEROING IN
We strongly believe there is a side hustle for everyone so in this section we are covering it all, like: expectations and mentality, what type of business is right for you and picking your niche.
01
THE ULTIMATE SIDE BUSINESS CLASS FOR ACTORS
MAKING IT SEXY
Caught up in the details? We got you. From brand colors and fonts to logos and all the in between. We also cover websites (if you need one), social media, and all the possible marketing aspects to get people in to your proverbial door!
02
STACKING THAT PAPER
Duh you need to make money here...but how? And how much? And omg are you worth that?! So we get into the money mindset, what to charge, when to scale, how to budget, and when to quit your day job.

WHO WANT TO LEVEL UP THEIR INCOME WITHOUT
GIVING UP THEIR CAREER
cut through the noise and decide what you wanna do
branding and marketing your side hustle

need we say more?
LET'S STOP WAITING FOR HOLLYWOOD TO PAY YOUR BILLS (CAUSE THEY WON'T)
Because we are smart actors. We know that a career is built over years and years of auditions and work and staying in the acting-game. But we also know how expensive it is to maintain rent, food, and life... let alone casting sites, headshots, classes, and whatever else is headed our way. In this course, we are going to help you start your business but, unlike others, we are covering exactly how each aspect affects your acting life and how we think you can make it all work for you.
SIDE HUSTLE ACADEMY IS FOR EVERY ACTOR WHO WANTS TO STAY IN THE GAME
While making a living and living their one freaking life.

picking the right marketing platforms for you + your side hustle
what tools you need and how to simplify the software

all the software and systems we love (plus how-to videos)
the money it takes to get started
keeping a balanced budget + saving yourself tax-time headache
making a yearly + quarterly + weekly + daily plan (for real this time)

Having an end-point to your current day job(s) is just as important as starting your new income streams. It can be super motivating but also stressful. So let's make sure you have all those ducks in a row.
MODULE 07

I CAN'T AFFORD THIS RIGHT NOW, WILL THE PRICE STAY THE SAME?
lifetime bay-bay.
plus we have a few bonus items we will be creating and adding in the future and you get those too.
HOW LONG DO I HAVE ACCESS TO THE COURSE?
nope. you can be a freelancer / independent contractor and still gain a ton of help in upleveling your income stream. we want your big business to be your acting career after all.
IS THIS ONLY USEFUL IF YOU WANT TO OWN A BIG BUSINESS?
strong yes. the course is spaced out to be consumed while you have a lot of other things going on, and we wait till the end to cover planning the exit from jobs that are no longer serving you.
CAN I DO THIS ALONGSIDE MY REGULAR DAY JOB?
excuse our french: f*ck yea. while you may be able to skim the 'pick your niche' section, we cover how to specifically market and grow your business while maintaining your acting career. we are a match made in heaven.
IF I ALREADY HAVE A SIDE HUSTLE, IS THIS COURSE FOR ME?
yea, we get that. this course is evergreen because we know the nature of life (and the business). plus in our community channel you will be introduced to others to help hold you accountable.
I HAVE STARTED THINGS LIKE THIS BEFORE AND I DIDN'T FINISH
