This podcast will show you some thought processes and goals of someone very aspirational that is just starting an online business. Hustlr by Jeremy Ong has set the bar very high, but he has also thought about how to reach this bar.

Tune in to hear us chat about:

  • How Jeremy went from working 12 hour days for $600 to 6 hour weeks for 5 figures!
  • The specific goals for Hustlr over the next 12 months
  • Why Jeremy regrets eating so much ramen

Jeremy's Background


1:30 mins

As you absorb this information, you'll realise that Jeremy...

  • Grew up in a "typical Asian family"
  • Started working in a 9 am-9 pm job for $600 a month after college
  • How the "Venus Factor" helped him make money while he was asleep
  • Affiliate marketing opened his eyes to other possibilities

The more you listen to this podcast, the more you will realise...

How Vaping Changed His Life


9 mins

If you're like me you will be interested in hearing:

  • That Jeremy lived on savings for the first year and took no salary
  • He took on some freelance gigs here and there to make ends meet
  • How he now has 6 hour work weeks (Tim Ferris eat your heart out)
  • His vaping business now earns a net profit of $10-15k per month

Jeremy speaks about how reading during this transition helped him to thrive and achieve more. Check out "The Best Self Improvement Books to Shape Your Mindset".

Little by little you begin to realise that this wasn't enough for Jeremy. He found he wasn't making a big difference to people's lives, and hence...

Hustlr is Born...


11 mins

Action


Now, let me ask you this...

Have you tried some side hustles before? Have you struggled to see them really take off or found out they end up taking way too much time and resources for you to persevere?

Well, the beauty of affiliate marketing is that it can be a passive income.

Imagine what it would be like if you could put the work in once today and get paid for it over and over again.

When you look inside the Wealthy Affiliate community you will see how your affiliate marketing business can be scaled to be as big as you want it to be. People are making a few hundred extra dollars a month from it, and some people are earning 7 figures a year. You can read some "Success Stories" here.

The best part is that that is 100% free to give it a go... for as long as you want.

Are you beginning to see that you can try it out with no risk and discover whether it suits you?
