Today's hustle is an interesting one, it's a women who makes chicken saddles and brings in over $3,000 per month on a good month.
Today's story is about a women who had a pet chicken die due to a mating injury. This experience led her to create her own "chicken saddle" to protect the chickens.
Her design is different than existing ones on the market as it didn't require washing and didn't require sewing in the manufacturing process which makes it both faster and cheaper.
This business focuses on a very specific niche, and solves a problem and a pain point and that's why the entrepreneur in this story is making money.
Are you familiar with Chris Guillebeau? He has a daily podcast called "side hustle School" - each day he interviews a different person who's made their side hustle work. Seems like something up your alley - it's a free podcast.
I'm going to follow you as I really like what you're writing about - I'm all about the side hustle!

Yes that's actually what many of these episodes are. I've been doing this series on Youtube for going on 30 something weeks and I mentioned him at the very beginning. While many of these side hustle stories are my own stories and/or people I interview many of these, this one in particular actually are stories from his side hustle school. I normally make a few follow up videos later in the week actually giving strategies and a bit more contrete knowledge on how to pull this stuff off.
On Youtube I pretty much exclusively do business stuff, thus far on Steemit I've been trying to mix it up and do other types of content but I think I may start staying in my lane and doing majority business stuff.

Side note - you know what I think would be really interesting to learn about? The technical side and any tips related to having a youtube channel/making a video. My 4 year old has been going on and on about how she wants her own channel (she sees all these kids with their own stuff and loves it) and I've been hesitant as I don't really have the skills for this. Just an idea :)

You should checkout VideoCreators, that's pretty much what his channel is all about and another cool thing you can actually let your 4 year old watch it, he's a family guy and actually has another channel which is more of a vlog for his family but there's no cussing or anything he keeps it very PG and also offers a lot of great tips.
I have slowly been doing a bit more content on how to rank videos and stuff but at the end of the day he does a much better job and is much more knowledgeable about the ins and outs of Youtube than myself.
That's funny you meniton that, I think I recently heard among people under 18 Youtube creator is the number one career kids want to have.

I really like these side hustle episodes. With this one, it strengthens the concept that you are better off working on a pain point especially in something you already know about. Thank you for getting me interested in Steemit through your other videos.

Thanks buddy and great comment as well. I see a lot of new entrepreneurs wanting to branch out into things they know nothing about and while you don't have to be passionate or be an expert on every business area you get involved in I definately think it helps and makes the likelihood of success much better
