This Side Hustle Spotlight Q&A features 27-year-old Valentina Zapata, a Las Vegas-based entrepreneur behind The Shoe Game Co. Zapata’s side hustle turned full-time gig reselling sneakers sees more than $500,000 revenue a month. Responses have been edited for length and clarity.

What was your day job (or other sources of income) when you started your side hustle?
I was a life insurance broker.

When did you start your side hustle, and where did you find the inspiration for it?
It was the post-pandemic era; my girlfriend actually encouraged me to pick it back up as something positive to do on the side.

What were some of the first steps you took to get your side hustle off the ground?
We started with Instagram, then we went to Facebook Marketplace and drove almost an hour for our first “flip.” And we just kept rinsing and repeating.

What were some of the biggest challenges you faced while building your side hustle, and how did you navigate them?
Learning what not to buy — what sits — and that all “good deals” are not all good deals. And the biggest lesson we learned early on: spotting fakes! This cost us the most money; however, we watched videos, learned, took the Ls on the chin and kept pushing. Lastly, as resellers, we’re always struggling with sitting inventory. This was something we wanted to solve — how could we sell and sell fast?

How long did it take you to see consistent monthly revenue? How much did the side hustle earn?
We saw consistent income at $7,000 a month, but it wasn’t until we got on the live-selling platform Whatnot that things exploded for us. That’s when we shifted our operation to full-time.

When and why did you decide to take the side hustle full-time? What does growth and revenue look like now?
We decided to take this side hustle full-time within two months of being on Whatnot. We saw the reach and community, and more importantly, we knew the sneaker category on Whatnot was relatively new, just as live-selling was, and we didn’t want to miss it. We’re doing over $500,000 a month in revenue — and just signed and moved into our new 6,000-square-foot warehouse. We now have seven employees in less than two years and have no plans to slow down.

What do you enjoy most about running this business?
I love seeing the team grow and their lives change around me as we work hard, and it pays off. In addition to our team winning, our community is so beautiful — it’s so much more than just selling.

What’s your advice for others hoping to start successful side hustles or businesses of their own?
Build and drive community — everything else will follow. The only way to stand out in a digital era is building a strong brand reach.

We all look forward to taking a dip in the pool during the summer when the sun is shining, but the inevitable dip in sales from June to August can leave business owners in a bind.

According to one 2023 study, two-thirds of B2B businesses experience a sales slump over the summer, and of the businesses affected, nearly 75% reported a drop in sales of 20% or more. Also, one in five claimed dips of 40% or more.

If you are in one of the industries that anticipate a summer sales slump, there are ways to confront it head-on and walk out of August victorious. These three tactics have been tested by my team over the years and have resulted in us reaching $100 million in annual revenue.

1. Mail postcards every week; they achieve 600% more revenue per lead

I’ve built my business on the pure fact that direct mail marketing works. Postcards may not seem as enticing as a flashy social media ad, but they leave a lasting impression nonetheless. Individuals can hold a tangible card in their hands and save it for a rainy day. Research shows direct mail has an average engagement rate of 95% and is interacted with at least four times at home.

But the efficacy of postcards really is no surprise due to rising digital fatigue. One study that surveyed 10,250 consumers found that 49% said they spend too much time online and want to reduce that time.

The very nature of direct mail forces an individual to stop and take time to read the advertisement. This gives you a bigger opportunity to hook your prospect and close a sale. Business owners also have far more targeting options with direct mail than digital advertisements, so the campaign will be more effective and deliver better results.

Sixty-five percent of households with incomes of $100,000 or more made a purchase in the past 30 days because of direct mail advertising, research shows. So not only do prospects pay more attention to mailers, but they also are more likely to purchase a product or service from you as a result.

My company mails 232,000 postcards a week exclusively promoting our own products and services like clockwork. Last year, we analyzed 114,373 leads that converted to sales in 2023 and found that we achieve 600% more revenue per lead from postcards than digital ads. Specifically, $229.41 in revenue for every postcard lead versus $37.09 in revenue per lead from pay-per-click. You may receive more leads from other marketing channels, but they won’t be as high quality as the ones you get from mailers.

2. Increase your marketing budget in the 4-6 weeks leading up to summer to have more leads in the pipeline

My most effective marketing principle is to market like crazy — market more than you think is sane. The reason for this is because the amount of effort you put into your marketing will determine your results. The more you invest into your advertising, the more revenue you’ll generate.

So right before summer starts, about 4-6 weeks before, increase your marketing budget to increase leads. Whether that means you mail thousands of more postcards, create more video advertisements for Instagram or YouTube, or hire another sales professional to do outbound phone calls, text messages and follow-ups, just give it 1,000%. We hire five high school students on summer break to help make additional phone calls to past prospects and customers every summer.

Even if you don’t have the additional money to do this, come up with low-cost or no-cost ways to reach out to prospects more and spread awareness of your brand. This could be public relations, more posts on social media, email blasts or higher phone call quotas for sales reps if business is slower and they have more free time.

By the time summer is in full swing, you should have loads of leads to pursue and even more sales to close. This will get you through the lull until October comes along with the normal flow of purchases.

3. Re-ignite past customers and old leads with new offers and retargeting

Obtaining new leads to get you through the summer slump is important, but don’t forget about other opportunities to increase revenue, like bringing back customers for a second purchase and revisiting old leads that never purchased from you.

For the contacts who have been sitting in your CRM for years and have still never bought a service or product, create a list and send them a special offer in the mail to encourage a response. These mailings can be automated through a direct mail API connection. Whether you use SalesForce, Zoho or other CRM platform, an API connection that automates these mailings will save you time and money.

Don’t assume these old contacts are a waste of resources. I’ve had prospects in my database that didn’t respond to our postcards and emails for years and then they finally made the decision to reach out and start marketing services with us. I’m glad we never gave up!

For the customers who haven’t bought anything in a while, segment them into separate lists, such as: haven’t bought in one month, six months or a year. Then, add them to specific email funnels and mail them postcards with an exclusive discount code only available to current customers. If you are an ecommerce business, do another marketing campaign that targets people who abandoned their online shopping carts. A QR code on the mailer will make it easy for them to hop back into your website and complete the purchase.

Besides implementing all of these tactics, you can also use the extra time during the summer slowdown to plan out the marketing for the rest of the year. The last quarter, much like a football game, is always the most intense, so invest some attention on how to end the year strong. With all that extra cash coming in, you may just end up rewarding yourself with a margarita poolside.

Judy Garland passed away 55 years ago — but put any document, e-book, or file into a new AI app, and her voice will be what you hear reading to you.

Text-to-speech AI startup ElevenLabs announced on Tuesday that its free Reader App uses AI cloning to replicate the unique voices of Garland, James Dean, Burt Reynolds and Sir Laurence Olivier.

The app, which came out last week on iOS (with preregistration open for Android), takes any PDF file, article or text and transforms it into a voiceover that sounds like one of the iconic voices — complete with emotion and contextual understanding.

“It’s exciting to see our mother’s voice available to the countless millions of people who love her,” Liza Minnelli, daughter of Judy Garland and representative of the Garland Estate, said in the press release. Minnelli added, “Our family believes that this will bring new fans to Mama.”

ElevenLabs worked with the estates of the late stars to develop the technology.

The startup envisions users listening to Sherlock Homes in Olivier’s voice or The Wonderful Wizard of Oz in Garland’s voice.

Voice-cloning isn’t a new application of AI, and some of its use cases can be problematic. For example, audio cloning has been used to attempt to scam people out of money and personal information.

Related: Scammers Are Using AI to Clone Your Loved One’s Voice

ElevenLabs users can easily create audio deepfakes, or realistic-sounding impersonations of someone’s voice. In January 2023, the startup acknowledged that its technology had been used “for malicious purposes” and decided to put voice-cloning behind a paywall.

ElevenLabs’ safety page, as of this writing, discloses that the company moderates all content through automated and human review, traces content back to anyone misusing it and reports illegal activity to law enforcement.

Outside of ElevenLabs, the ethicality of voice-cloning has recently come under scrutiny. Scarlett Johanssen took legal action against ChatGPT-maker OpenAI in May when the voice of its newest ChatGPT model was “so eerily similar” to hers that her “closest friends and news outlets could not tell the difference.”

If you’ve invested in AI chip maker Nvidia, how do you know when to sell?

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang made his first share sale of the year in June, cashing in 1.3 million shares to net $169 million, the most he’s gained so far in one month, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday.

Factoring in June’s sale, Huang has gained close to $1.1 billion from selling stock since January 2020. He’s not done yet, with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings showing that he intends to keep cashing in this month.

As of June, Huang had a 3.8% stake in Nvidia, or over 934 million shares, making him the company’s largest individual stockholder. ^{Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang in March 2024. (Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)}

From the start of this year, Nvidia executives and directors have sold shares collectively worth more than $700 million, per Bloomberg.

Nvidia has seen over 3,000% stock growth in the past five years, which may have elevated more than one long-term employee to “semi-retired” status based on stock grants alone.

Nvidia briefly became the most valuable company in the world in mid-June, with a market cap higher than $3 trillion.

Nvidia’s stock isn’t always stable, though. Last week, shares dropped 16%, and the company lost more than $500 billion in market cap over three trading days. The loss was more than the entire market cap of Samsung or Costco.

Nvidia stock rebounded, and its valuation, still over $3 trillion at the time of writing, is now only surpassed by Microsoft and Apple.

“The big question people have on this stock right now is just sustainability,” Bernstein Research senior analyst Stacy Rasgon told The Hill on Friday. “It’s just the numbers have gotten so big, so quickly, that you’ve got to wonder, can they continue?”

Partnerships in business are a dynamic and powerful way to propel a venture forward. They combine the strengths and resources of individuals to achieve shared goals. However, the success of a partnership hinges on careful planning and establishing a strong foundation.

Drawing from my experiences in both successful and challenging partnerships, I’ve come to appreciate the importance of making informed decisions from the outset to avoid potential pitfalls. In this review, we’ll examine key considerations that can shape a partnership’s trajectory, ensuring its longevity and success.

1. Sign a comprehensive partnership agreement

One cannot overstate the critical importance of a well-crafted partnership agreement. This document serves as the backbone of the partnership, delineating the terms, conditions and expectations that guide the relationship between partners. Prepared by a competent attorney, a solid partnership agreement is not just a formality but a strategic tool to preemptively address potential areas of contention. Without such an agreement, businesses may be entangled in legal disputes when critical decisions, such as selling the business or operational control. The cost of rectifying such issues far exceeds the investment in a robust partnership agreement.

2. Distribute ownership

In the realm of partnerships, the distribution of ownership often dictates decision-making authority. In a 50/50 partnership, achieving equilibrium is crucial, but challenges can arise. It becomes imperative to establish mechanisms for resolving disputes in daily operations. If one partner holds the majority, safeguards must be in place to protect the interests of the minority owner. This protection extends to critical aspects such as owner compensation, business sale decisions, the inclusion of new partners and the exercise of daily operational control.

3. Establish financial contributions and equity distribution

Clarity in financial matters is paramount to a partnership’s success. Outlining how capital is contributed on day one sets the tone for a transparent and fair collaboration. In cases where one partner injects capital, and the other contributes expertise, a clear understanding of each party’s role is necessary. The controversial concept of “sweat equity” is challenged here, suggesting that equity should be commensurate with the financial risks undertaken rather than the sheer effort put into the business. It is crucial to establish not only the initial financial commitment but also a shared responsibility for future financial needs.

4. Delegate control and ensure transparency

The control of finances is often a sensitive matter in partnerships. Deciding who has authority over financial matters and ensuring transparency to all parties involved are critical steps in fostering trust. As the company begins to generate profits, disagreements may arise on the timing and distribution of these earnings. The potential for contention is especially pronounced during tax seasons. To avert such conflicts, partners should agree on the optimal amount of capital the company should retain and establish clear spending limits that require explicit permission.

5. Establish responsibilities and compensation

Defining roles and responsibilities from the outset is essential for harmonious collaboration. Each partner’s duties and the corresponding compensation should be clearly outlined, with a preference for role-based remuneration rather than ownership-based rewards. This approach reinforces the principle that work merits compensation, irrespective of the ownership stake. If the financial health of the company allows, compensating partners based on their roles fosters a sense of fairness and equality.

6. Ensure your visions align

The partners’ vision for the company’s growth trajectory is pivotal. Unanimous agreement on the pace and nature of expansion prevents future conflicts. The strategy for growth, whether rapid expansion with potential financial strains or slow, steady growth with sustained profitability, requires alignment. In cases where expansion involves acquisitions, discussions on bringing in additional partners or securing external funding become paramount.

7. Planning for inevitability

While partnerships are born with optimism and shared aspirations, it is crucial to acknowledge that they will eventually end. Planning for the exit is as crucial as planning for the partnership’s inception. Agreements on a potential sale or partial sale should require unanimous consent from all partners to avoid impeding the process. In instances of unforeseen events, such as a partner’s death or disability, a well-defined buyout mechanism should be in place. This mechanism should safeguard the company’s financial stability, ensuring a smooth transition and a fair valuation process.

In conclusion, partnerships in business offer a potent means of scaling operations, sharing responsibilities and mitigating risks. However, the success of such collaborations hinges on meticulous planning and establishing clear agreements. A robust partnership agreement, addressing critical considerations ranging from financial contributions to responsibilities and exit strategies, lays the groundwork for a resilient and prosperous partnership. By prioritizing transparency, effective communication and fairness, partners can navigate challenges with confidence, transforming their collaborative efforts into a mutually beneficial opportunity that stands the test of time.

Along with professional dedication, entrepreneurship calls for personal sacrifice, especially when it comes to family life. For entrepreneurs, success on the home front hinges on clear communication, active family involvement and striking a balance between personal and professional commitments.

By mastering these elements, founders can create the supportive home environment necessary for success in building businesses.

The importance of clear communication

Effective communication is vital for maintaining harmony between all the work that has to go into entrepreneurial pursuits and family life. If anything, entrepreneurs should deliberately over-communicate with their families about the demands and potential impacts of their busy schedules. By clearly outlining their tasks, commitments and the inherent uncertainties of entrepreneurship, they can manage expectations and reduce conflicts. This transparency ensures that family members are up-to-date on the entrepreneur’s availability and financial stability with the result of fostering a mutually supportive environment.

My own experience starting Dynasty Financial Partners highlights the importance of this approach. Communicating at length with my wife Mary Ann, we set realistic expectations about the challenges ahead and the sacrifices our family would have to make. By mutually adopting a policy of under-promising and over-delivering, we aligned our family’s goals with those of the business, understanding that our collective efforts could help us realize our American Dream — while taking care not to glamorize the adversity we faced. This alignment and our commitment to ongoing frankness were critical as we faced nearly three years without a paycheck. This process, which continues to this day, reinforces the importance of being united as a couple and ready — really ready — for the ride ahead.

Securing the buy-in from family members that’s so crucial to entrepreneurial success involves more than setting expectations. Involving family in the business can build an understanding of entrepreneurship and foster a sense of shared purpose. For example, I often bring my wife to final interview meetings with candidates and involve her in client events. Her insights and intuition contribute to our business decisions and strengthen our client relationships.

Integrating family into business operations

Another way to get buy-in from family is to involve your kids without pressuring them into it. As age-appropriate, allowing children to visit the office, ask questions and learn about business operations can demystify the entrepreneurial process and help children feel connected to their parent’s work. This connection should be developed without creating undue pressure for them to follow a related career path, allowing them to pursue their own passions while understanding and appreciating the family’s collective efforts.

To this end, we sometimes frame our family as “Team Penney” to reinforce the idea that we share our achievements and challenges. This team mentality extends to naming our thoroughbred racehorse stable “Team Penney Racing,” emphasizing that outcomes for the stable were results for the whole family. Team building strengthens our family bond and highlights the importance of teamwork in recreational and professional contexts alike. I’ve found that celebrating family achievements and shared successes further reinforces the benefits of collective sacrifices and strengthens the family’s support system.

“Team Penney” has helped us view our family as a cohesive unit that shares and learns from each other’s experiences. This mindset has brought us closer and established a structure for everyone in the family to contribute, learn and grow together. I recommend it, or something similar, as a way to help family feel connected to the business that, necessarily, takes up so much of your time.

Strategies for maintaining work-life balance

Maintaining a healthy work-life balance is perhaps the most challenging part of being an entrepreneur. Setting clear boundaries around work and prioritizing family time are essential ingredients to professional and domestic success. I learned early that I can balance my commitments most effectively by treating my wife with the courtesy and respect I accord my very best clients and by showing up — fully present and attentive — for important family events. Taking family vacations and father-daughter trips provides opportunities to recharge and invest in our relationships, ensuring that quality time takes precedence over quantity.

It’s also important to recognize the cumulative impacts of stress and the emotional toll of entrepreneurship. Being open about challenges and checking one’s “master of the universe” ego at the door can alleviate personal pressures and foster a more supportive family environment. To my mind, prioritizing personal and mental health, including involving family in activities like workouts and meditation, is crucial for long-term success and well-being.

Outsourcing less important tasks at work and learning to delegate responsibilities to colleagues can also free up valuable time for family and personal pursuits. Surrounding yourself with competent advisors and leveraging their expertise helps entrepreneurs focus on high-priority areas, both in business and at home.

Fostering family unity for entrepreneurial success

Reflecting on our entrepreneurial journey, it becomes evident that success in business is intertwined with the support system at home. Again, enjoying wins as a family, whether small achievements or significant milestones, is a powerful reminder to loved ones of the benefits of shared sacrifice. These celebrations reinforce the collective effort and underscore the importance of family unity in achieving entrepreneurial goals.

For many, the entrepreneurial journey is fused with family life. By “over” communicating, involving family in the business, maintaining a healthy work-life balance and celebrating shared successes, entrepreneurs can set the stage for a supportive and understanding home environment. This holistic approach not only ensures personal fulfillment but also lays the foundation for sustained professional success. It is through this balance of personal and professional commitments that entrepreneurs can thrive, both at home and in their business ventures.
