Articles like this...it really should be titled: "The 4 kinds of side businesses people like Justin can start".

So maybe we need to figure out a common language to separate out side businesses that are built slowly, deliberately over time using a specific skillset, vs. side businesses that become successful because of aggressive marketing tactics.


I agree is does take a hustler kind of attitude to execute on some of these but others such as buying an existing Shopify app on their exchange just requires due diligence.


I like how he subtly puts his biz in the blog. Smooth.


I find it fine. Here, read my article, and links to my work. Fair trade.
