Comment on $1000/mo Helping People Plan Trips: Inside the Travel Advising Side Hustle by Angelo Yason

I found the tips on getting started particularly useful. The advice to join a host agency to access accreditation and vendor relationships simplifies the process for newcomers. Additionally, the marketing strategies, like offering referral incentives and specializing in a niche, are practical steps to build a client base.

One aspect that stood out to me is the importance of handling travel logistics, such as visas, which can be daunting for clients. This is where services like GovAssist (https://govassist.com/) become invaluable. They specialize in streamlining the visa application process, ensuring all paperwork is correctly completed and submitted, which allows travel advisors to focus on crafting memorable experiences for their clients. By partnering with GovAssist, advisors can offer comprehensive services, enhancing client satisfaction and trust.

Thanks for the detailed post. I have been trying to do side-hustle after the birth of my second daughter during Covid-19, so I could achieve financial independence and retire early. One thing I have learned over the years is that saving is way too difficult, when your have little ones to look after and, to retire early earning more is the only suitable options to achieve your financial goals.

Following up from my first comment:

Having owned and operated my own CSP… arriving at a house sight unseen… expect surprises in scope and labor intensity. That means the CSPs are likely doing alot of documenting and reporting to M2M, on their own time. Like user-generated content.

My recommendation for CSPs: Specialize in customers with allergies and asthma who need extreme dusting and vacuuming and improved indoor air quality. Work by the hour, at an efficient (vs breakneck) speed. Charge more for that specialty. And work for yourself. Develop your own expertise and systems to sell as digital products and SAAS. Just my 2 cents.

“Cleaning service providers (CSP) just show up and get the job done. We do all the rest”.

“The house is sight unseen”. If the CSP arrives to find customer’s descriptions unrealistic, the CSP must document and report those details to M2M. On their own time? Via WhatsApp? That time adds up.

If the CSPs are subcontractors, CSPs pay for their own:
— Vehicles and gas
— Sick days
— Health care
— Vacation times;
— Child care
— Retirement funds
—Rising costs of housing, childcare, health care. And now more tarrifs.

Health care: chronic illnesses are skyrocketing, with costs poorly regulated. On top of that, cleaning workers have higher rates of cancer. Plus, many cleaning chemicals are hormone disruptors, immunotoxicants, allergens, asthmagens, respiratory irritants, and more. Health and safety enforcements for residential CSPs on the job are scarce.

Who can afford all that, on $30.00 per hour or so?

Glad to see healthy ROI for Anthony and Jhanilka! How will that work for CSPs too?

Nick, love your pod!

In reply to Allison Amini. That's great you're able to do it full-time, Allison! And thanks for the additional context around liability insurance. Agreed — not something to take lightly when we're talking big budget trips!

Comment on Pogo App Review: Make Money From Your Location and Purchase Data by Deanna Lang

Deanna Lang — Mon, 05 May 2025 12:18:44 +0000

The app has been great with the small payouts on surveys, daily credits, etc. However, I have an ongoing problem with one of the games associated with Bitlabs. The game offered compensation for completing various levels, but when you get to the higher amounts (+10000 pts), the game conveniently glitches up, no game progress is shown, BUT it will gladly take your money for in-game purchases. A common scam to get players obviously, but Pogo has received the evidence needed and Will NOT give me the points and blames it on Bitlabs. It’s been 10 days already? Who do I need to report this to?
