COLLEGE BARTENDER TURNS ONLINE SHOPPING INTO ACCIDENTAL SIDE HUSTLE In the prehistoric age before easy online shopping, a bartender discovers a way to supplement the tips she lost during a recession by reselling clothing to her friends. Podcast link https://sidehustleschool.com/episode/89/   Notes from Chris Episode 89 In the early days of a new industry, trend, or phenomenon, there are a lot of inefficiencies that allow creative people to make money in a way that might not work years later. This is the normal pattern of technological evolution. Something works really well for a while, but then you have to find something new. Today’s story probably isn't something you can replicate in the same way now, but the lesson has other applications. It's about a college bartender who turns online shopping for friends and co-workers into an unexpected reselling side hustle. This hustle helped to supplement the tips she lost during a recession. Remember that online shopping is a lot more efficient and common today than it was 15 years ago. This side hustle worked because the market of people Dana was reselling to was “unbanked,” meaning that most of them didn’t have credit cards. That was her competitive advantage. How can you learn from the past and apply this lesson to the present?
