The Side Hustle King: “I’m making $8K/DAY from easy businesses”

About this video

Chris Jones, a serial entrepreneur who generates approximately $8,000 daily in cash flow across six side hustles, joins Sam and Shaan to discuss unconventional business ideas anyone can start locally. The episode covers his philosophy of pursuing multiple revenue streams rather than focusing on a single business, and explores specific ideas like floating hole-in-one golf challenges, Facebook Marketplace lead generation, and reimagining local tourist attractions in new markets.

Key takeaways

• Chris has built 30+ businesses generating over $50,000 in revenue and currently operates six income streams exceeding $100,000 each in cash flow, demonstrating that diversified side hustles can be more profitable than conventional single-focus advice suggests.
• Simple, math-based business models like the floating golf hole-in-one challenge work because they apply casino-style probability to local markets with minimal infrastructure—the New Zealand location reportedly nets $300-500K annually with just one employee and an iPad.
• Facebook Marketplace and similar platforms (NextDoor, etc.) remain vastly underutilized by local service businesses; Chris claims a Bitcoin mining hosting business generated $9.8M in three months profitably using only organic Facebook posts across multiple accounts, demonstrating the platform’s untapped potential.
• Visually viral businesses—those that generate marketing through their inherent novelty rather than paid ads—scale faster; examples include the shipping-container wine tour and lawn care content creators with 45M followers, which succeed because people naturally want to document and share the experience.
• Chris’s validation method relies on cheap, fast experiments using publicly available tools (Facebook Ads, Google keyword research, VA cold calls) rather than extensive market research; he moves quickly to identify duds versus opportunities worth pursuing further.
