    How This Side Hustler Makes 5000 Monthly as a Freelance Financial Modeler
    Jun 28 2026
    In Episode 80 of The Side Hustle Podcast, Lucas and Luna break down how one freelance financial modeler earns $5,000 per month building Excel models for startups and small businesses. They walk through the specific services offered—three-statement models, valuation models, sensitivity analysis—and explain why this niche is in high demand among early-stage companies that can't afford a full-time CFO. The episode covers how to get started with just Excel skills and a basic understanding of financial statements, where to find clients (platforms like Upwork and direct outreach to accelerators), and how to price projects to reach $5,000 monthly. They also discuss common pitfalls, like scope creep and underestimating time.

  • How to Make 6000 Monthly as a Freelance Virtual Assistant

    How to Make 6000 Monthly as a Freelance Virtual Assistant
    Jun 28 2026
    In this episode, Lucas and Luna dive into the world of freelance virtual assisting — a side hustle that's grown 41% since 2020 according to Upwork. They break down how one former executive assistant, Maria Chen, built a $6,000/month VA business specializing in calendar management and email triage for busy startup founders. Lucas walks through her exact framework: how she charges $50/hour with retainer packages, uses tools like Calendly and Notion to automate the repetitive stuff, and lands clients through cold LinkedIn DMs. Luna challenges whether the VA market is getting saturated, and they discuss the surprisingly high ceiling for niche VAs who know tools like HubSpot or Salesforce. Plus, a no-BS look at the real hours involved — Maria works about 25 hours a week, not the 'passive income' fantasy. If you've ever thought about virtual assisting, this episode gives you the actual numbers, the pricing playbook, and the one skill Lucas says separates a $25/hour VA from a $75/hour one. #VirtualAssistant #Freelancing #SideHustle #RemoteWork #ExecutiveAssistant #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Upwork #FreelanceTips #CalendarManagement #EmailTriage #Notion #Calendly #ColdOutreach #LinkedIn #StartupLife #WorkFromHome Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
